".'The Expendables" was the title of the principal address de- livered by Capt. J. Fearnall of the Wingham Corps of the Salvation Army. In it he expanded the theme that the term "ex- pendable", frequently applied to "tolerable or "justified" casualties in a military sense, carried over also into civilian life where -there have been and con- tinue to be a great many ex- amples of sacrifice for the good of others. Capt. Fearnall reminded his hearers that it is not only mem: Fatterpapers,.. single. section Readers of The Advance -Times who are accustomed to judging t5 -s the size of the week's issue by the number of sections in the paper rt! 1141ay.e.$,.to.."re.-a just their measur ements.i nth the addition di ion of new units in the press room, papers of up to 16 pages will be mailed in a single section.

Clean-up week eek • Is - June 1344 An official "clean-up week" for the Towh of .Wingham has been set -from June 18 to 24 i, . hich residents are urged to omp ete clean-up of premises w ich ve not as yet had the c stomary spring' tidying. - . At this time weeds are becom- ing particularly prominent in vacant -lots and neglected areas and should be cut. Flagrant cases of neglect will come to the atten- tion of the localweed inspector. It is urged that junk and eye- sores of any description be dis- posed of and removed from view and that any feasible improve- ments to .premises, including painting or landscaping be un- dertaken out of a sense of neat- ness and civic pride. Truck to Call A town truck will be picking up garden -refuse commencing this Thursday, and the first and third Thursday of the month there- after, which should be some help with the continuing clean-up pro- gram. Trash receptacles given the town ' by Wingham Lions are getting some good use for their intended purpose and also some bad use from mindless vandals. Some town youngsters are find- ing them a good source of extra pennies in the form of returnable pop bottles, and to do their bit to- ward "recycling", by gathering. them up and turning them in. Local merchants are keeping them cleared on a voluntary basis. An official notice in regard to clean-up week is published else- where in this issue. Similarly in the histories of science and- medicine there have been the brave and unselfish who - have willingly given their lives for the benefit of mankind to fol- iow, and in considering those who have made, the supreme sacri- fice, one must ultimately remem- ber Jesus Christ who died for all.
