A CANDLE HE
A man is a candle,
Poured and molded -
In the school factories,
And coming out all bright and
smooth
Just like all the other candles.
Unless, of course, he is damaged
In the handling, it which case
He drops out, a factory. reject.
But if he makes it through the
factory,
He is quickly accepted by a
larger company
Which buys and sells large
numbers of candles
As it burns up and disposes of the
older ones.
He is stored, for awhile, on the
lower shelves
But quickly rises to higher
shelves, taking the place
Of the older, used candles.
Sometimes it wavers and dims.
But if he combines his flame with
another,
Then, united, they light the world
:,Arid spread warmth throughout.
And when one flame, is ex-
• tinguished,
The other soon dims, flickers,
Slowly yielding the life force
Til, it too, is gone.
And with it, a man's hopes,
Thoughts, ideas and dreams
Disappear in that last wisp of
smoke.

From the inside out
If you lived in Equadond
needed police assistan a
hurry the fastest way toy the
police would be to get in your own
car and pick them up. Ap-
parently, .the police force is
granted only a very limited num-
ber of vehicles and these are
quickly gobbled up by the senior
men on the force.
This bit of interesting informa-
tion was given those who heard
Gordon Martin speak at the Bible
Club a few' weeks ago. Mr. Mar-
tin, who is back in Canada for a
few months has spent over two
years .in missionary work in
Equador.
Mr. Martin pointed out that in
South American countries noth-'
Mg is really made better by out-
, side forces, such as new laws and
political upheavals. Much hope is
fixed around these forces, but the

Just Suppose
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would begin tomorrow to make
people as sick as they claim to be on Sunday.
•JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would take away the child whom the"
parents use as an excuse for staying away from•church.
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord should make the people as poor as
they claim to be when asked to help ' finance the Lord's
program.
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would have everyone stoned to death

in the end. Mr. Martin is of the
opinion that any real improve-
ment in a person's life will come
about from the "inside -out". To
embark on such a self-improve-
ment. program, he ' must first
yield himself to God by inviting
Jesus Christ to come into his life.
Mr., Martin hopes s to be back in

Paul Elgie teaches English: He
was born in Fort William which is
now Thunder. Bay. He moved to
Lambeth, then went to school in
London and St. Catharines.. This
summer he came from Calgary
to Wingham. He received his
Bachelor of Arts from the
University of Western Ontario
majoring in English and drama,
then attended O.C.E. in Toronto.
He was also a pilot in the
R.C.A.F.
Mr. Elgie enjoys travelling and
has travelled extensively in Eng-
land, France, Germany, Austria,
Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey,
Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan, India
and Russia. The two places he
enjoyed 'the most were Lenin's
tomb in Moscow and the Taj
Mahal in India. But he feels
Canada is the best country in the
world, and considers himself a
democratic nationalie.
He studied drama at the
Pasadena Playhouse and also
starred with Hugh Brandon in
"Girls of the Golden West". In

television talk shows in Peterbor-
ough to advertise the Ontario

Mr. Elgie also has many out-
Side interests such as horseback
, riding, drama, art, travelling and
Siberian huskies:
He feels the students -of a rural
school such as F. E. Madill can
handle responsibility better than
students he has taught in the city.
His philosophy on life is to enjoy
life as much as possible without
John Deneau harming anyone else.

SPORTS
Last Wednesday the , junior
girls' interform volleyball cham-
pions, 9F, met the women's staff
team for the best of three cham-
pionship. The women's team,,
consisting of Mrs. Graham, Mrs.
dLobb, Miss Warren,. Miss Mur-
ray, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Tiffin
proved their superior volleyball
,skills by defeating the junior girls
two games straight, 15-8, 15-4.
On Wednesday, - March. 8, a
different women's 'staff : team
challenged the senior girls'
champions, 13A. Although the
results aren't 'available in time
for publication my thoroughly
biased opinion is that the students
will have no trouble trouncing the
teachers. "

New type poles
and lights planned
If thoughts the Public Utilities
Commission have about im-
proved street lighting are ap-
proved by council, Wingham's
Josephine Street will be "sunlit"
even on the darkest night.
At the PUC meeting Thursday
night, Stewart Tyndall of Cana-
dian General Electric Co. Ltd.
demonstrated the, newest types of
street lighting using either multi -
vapor, mercury or lucalox, the
newest of all lamps now in use.
In addition to explaining the
lighting and service qualities of
each, Mr. Tyndall showed
colored photographs of several
street installations,, leaving little
doubt that a choice of any of them
would result in far superior illu-
mination on the town's main
street:
The lighting technician at-
tended the meeting at the invite,
•tion of the PIJC because some
concern has been expressed on
the condition of some of the light
poles now in use. It has been
thought that a program of . re-
placement should be instituted,
which led to a discussion on the
type of pole and whether to con-
tinue with curb mounting or
move the poles back against the
buildings.
A presentation in regard to the
cost of poles, installation and the
suggested type of lighting will be
made to council and pending
approval, the PU6 will .make a
survey on the spacing of the new
poles.
Higher Cost of Power
. Some discussion centred
around talks given at the recent
convention of the Association of
Municipal _ Electric Utilities at
Toronto with the main topic com-
ments made by George Gather-
cole, chairman of Ontario Hydro,
who warned that Hydro charges
to the utilities would increase by 8
per cent in July.
Each time Hydro increases the
cost of power, each PUC must
apply to Ontario Hydro for ap-
proval for any increase in local
rates and as this sometimes takes
up to five months, most utilities
operate at a loss Until the adjust-
ment is made. Last year Wing-
hafn PUC lost about $3,000 during
the interim period from January
when Hydro upped the cost of
power and the time of adjustment
in rates locally was approved.
presenting his report, Superin-
tendent Ken Saxton said work for
better service at Western
Foundry and the Stanley -Berry
plants, had been completed.
