The time has come
to say "good-bye"
By Gil Shepherd
Taking a retrospective view of the past 19 months, one tends to con-
sider the good and the bad things which have happened during this
period of service to The Advance -Times and, hopefully, `the com-
Inunity.
It is frequently the case when someone' comes` to a strange area to
work fora community newspaper to be quite agile, not necessarily to
have the ability to get around to activities (although that can be an
asset ►, but t.o have that certain agility to dodge the verbal brickbats
that might come the way of the newcomer..
Prepared to do one's best and perhaps prepared for the worst, we
have leen delighted to find that those who reside in Wingham and the
surrounding municipalities have lived .up to any advance notices re-
tarding their friendly nature.
Brickbats and bouquets are the lot of those who mix in public life and
newspaper people invariably get their share.- In our case, the ratiohas•
been about 100 to one in favor of the bouojrets and whether this form of
accolade. has been deserved is a matter af•opinion.
the knowledge that one's efforts, and interest in the community.
t►•�r\ e been appreciated is somewhat akin' to a gift frori you and as,we
Prepare to leave to re-establish as a full-time resider•t of Newmarket,
there is regret that the opportunity to .know Wingham,and its People
had not come "much sooner. .
The fact that Barry Wenger and The Advance -Times have'had the
respect of the area for many years made,ur job much easier. Work-
ing m (•o-operaiion•with Mr. Wenger and -the staff' to produce a good
community newspaper, and make no mistake about it, The Advance-
Times ranks high in its field, has been fun and probably one of the
most interesting periods of the past 20 years. -
Respect of those with whom we have had contact has been very im-
portant. and for them we have a mutual respect for what they do to
make their community a' place both interesting and friendly. Whether
their main interest be at the municipal level, the church, recreation or
social,Ihe countless Yours they spend month by morfth add up to mak-
ing Wingham and the surrounding area what they are.
We have been fortunate to have witnessed some of the changes and
innovations! The brightening of the arena•, the ball park lights, the
Lions Talent Hunt series, the skate-a-thon, bicycle rodeo, the current
editions of the Winter Carnival and• Lockridge Memorial Midget
Tournament, activities at the -hospital and training school; and many
other events sponsored by so many women's, groups.
As time goes by, nostalgia will set in and we will recall the many
pleasant times in Wingham. Itis ourhope that the newspaper will con-
tinue with its editorial strength, that the man who succeeds in the job
we regret fully leave will be as fortunate to gain as many friends as has

And -to those on council; the principals and staffs of the schools, the
many at the hospital, the business and industrial community and all
the others who have mace the job so pleasant—A hail and farewell.

Palmerston. Ont.,
June 2, 1972.
Dear Editor:
1 would like to quote from the
Daily Press 'of June 2, 1972,
"WALKERTON--Full railway
passenger' Service should be re-
stored to the Wingham, Goderich,
Walkerton, Owen °Sound and
Palmerston areas by this fall, the
acting Chairman of the Federal
Cpvernment's standing com-
mittep on transport and com-
munications said here Thursday.
"Charles Turner, MP (L -Lon-
don East ), said following the last
of four hearings on the adequacy
of rail or substitute passenger
service, that he expected his
committee to recommend res-
toration of rail service cut off by
CN Rail and CPR in late 1970.
"He said he was confident the
committee would recommend
this as an immediate measure
and that the House would deal
with the rticommendation before
Farli•ament adjourns for the
summer in late June. •
"i think the trains definitely
should be put hack on, he said.
I'm heful we can do it just as
soon ailtkey can get back on the
rails.
"Hearings were held in London
and Chatham earlier this week
but it was Wednesday's meeting
in Stratford and Thursday's in
Walkerton where the action was.
On Nov. 1, 1970, railway passen-
ger 'service was discontinued be-
tween Toronto and Palmerston,
v Palmerston and Owen' Sound,
Palmerston and Southampton,
Stratford and Kincardine, and
Stratford and Goderich." •
From the foregoing, do you as
an interested and affected citi-
zen. want this re -instated rail
service to become a reality? If
you do. then act as Mr. Marvin
Howe, MP or Mr. ,John Skoberg
MP, and others strongly urged
any of us attending the hearings.
What to do??
WRITE—RIGHT NOW to Hon-
orable Don Jamieson, Minister'of
Transport.. House of Commons,
Ottawa, Canada, and to Rt. Hon.
Pierre E. Trudeau, Prime Minis-
ter of Canada demanding our
rights as tax -paying citizens, and
asking for the backing of the
House of Commons as a whole in
the recommendation of the.
Standing Committee on Trans-
port when that Committee brings
this matter before the Parlia-
ment of Canada.
Sincerely yours,
Robert S. Cherry.

BELGRAVE A large crowd
attended ,the anniversary service
held on June 4 at Calvin -Brick
United Church which had been
decorated appropriately with
bouquets of cut sprin4 flowers.
The minister, Rev. John
Roberts conducted the service.
Guest .speaker was Mrs. James
Ward of Wingham. • Marilyn
Robertson and Marian McGee
°played the piano and organ re-
spectively.
The choir, accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. Sydney Thompson,
sang "It's a Long Road to Free-
dom" and "No • Man • Is An Is-
land". A special number, "Desid-
"rata" was sung by Marilyn Rob-
ertson, Marian McGee, Helen
Chandler, Alice Beecroft 'and
.Darlene Coultes with Joyce (.oul-
tes taking the speaking part.
Mrs. Ward chose as her theme
'Attitudes". It is the choice of the
individual which road in life he
takes—the road of adventure or
the safe road which can becotne
monotonous or tiring because of
doing the same things every day.
We should make a real effort to
share more in the activities of our
families and our friends, even if it
means leaving some of our work
undone, she said:
"We are inclined to have -the
wrong attitude if we are always
too busy to reach out to help
someone less fortunate than our-
selves. What we choose is what
we are. The goal may be far off,.
but the will to' win it makes us.

FLIGHT SPEED OF DUCKS
The speed of a duck's flight depends on two
factors. Its ability to fly through the air by its
own exertions; and the helping or hindering in-
fluence of the wind For most ducks, ordinary
flight is around 40 to 50 m.p.h plus an additional
10 to 15 m.p.h. when chased. Contrary to popular
opinion, mallard and pintail are faster than teal.
Canvasback, when chased, have been timed, at
72 m.p.h. Thus, a badly frightened canvasback
with a 30 m.p.h. tail wind, would be capable of
reaching 100 m.p h. ground speed
