Sisters mark
Area sisters, Mrs. Olive
Phillips and Mrs. Minerva
McEwen celebrated their
birthdays during the past
week.
Mrs. Phillips was 99 on'
March 17 while her sister,
Mrs. McEwen celebrated her
97th birthday on March _15.
Born at Milverton, they are
the daughters of the late Mr.
and Mrs, Richard Attridge.
Their mother was the former,
McMane. They are
the oldest survivors of the
Attridge and McMane
families.
The birthday celebration for
Mrs. Phillips was held .in
Wingham General Hospital
• where she is presently re-
cuperating after receiving a
fractured hip and arm in a fall
at the Pine Lodge Rest Home
in Lucknow. She had been a
patient in St. Joseph's 110spi-
tal, London prior to being
transferred back to Wingham.
At the age of 17, she had
moved to Flint, Mich. where
she later married her hus-
band, Elmer Phillips. He died
several years ago. At the age
of 91, she returned to Ontario
and lived with her sister, Mrs.
F. C. Abram of Kitchener and
later moved to Wingham
where she lived with her
niece, Mrs. Olive Cowan.
After the -death of Mrs. Cowan"
she moved to a nursing home
in Lucknow. She has a very
keen mind and enjoys playing
several games. .
Mrs, McEwen of Pinecrest
Manor, Lucknow, was the wife
of the late John McEwen of
Wingham and following his
death several years ago, she
moved to Listowel to reside
with her mother, who at this
time had married William
Selma. After the death of
her mother, she returned to
Wingham. She had a family of
six. Four survive and all live

Cause of the fire is not

have been an electrical mal-
function or the result of fuel

years. She is a member of
Wingham Presbyterian
Church.
In honor of the occasion,
birthday parties were held for
both octogenarians. They re-
ceived many cards, flowers,
as well as calls of. congratu-
lations and birthday cakes.
Their- sister, Mrs. F. C.
Abram, Listowel as well as
niece Mrs. Irene Campbell,
Listowel and nephew, Welland
Kreuter and Mrs. Kreuter of
Ethel were in attendance at -
the birthday gatherings.
On March 13 a home
belonging to Walter •Ward
along Howick Con. A was
damaged by a roof fire aused
by sparks from the chimney
landing on cedar shingles. A
passing motorist saw the fire
and notified the family. The
damage to the roof was
partially covered • by in-
surance, Chief Crothers
• reported.
The previous evening fire
caused about $500 damage to a
driving shed owned by Robert
Earl and rented by Mrs. Bob
Edgar at RR 2, Gorrie. Cause
of the fire has not been
determined.
A false alarm Tuesday
morning was apparently
caused by ram water leaking
into the telephone lines which
control the alarm, the chief
said. The malfunction oc-
curred along Cedar Street in
lines which had been damaged
earlier by a truck.

He said the curriculum is
being typed up now to be taken,
to the priests of the Stratford
deanery for their approval. It
will then come back to the
trustees for approval before

his own small children had

parent, had filled in and
returned the survey. He said
the items surveyed are the

LAKE CULLEN—John Cullen of Cullen Chev-Olds contemplates the water which has
claimed half his car lot and which one wag has dubbed 'Lake Cullen'. Mr. Cullen Is con-
cerned that although the lot never used to flood until the water came across the high-
way, now that the fill for the new plaza has been put ln he has no drainage. An attempt
by the town crew to dig a channel to drain the water was unsuccessful and was
abandoned when the water threatened to drown the tractor.

He added he was very
pleased with the response to
the survey and said: "We base
the curriculum on what the
parents want."
Chairman Ronald Marcy
pointed out that those areas
not endorsed in the survey
were not included in the
curriculum.
Mr. Gladding reported that
80 per cent of the parents
returned the survey sheet and
many even took time to write
down comments. He said the
survey shortened the com-
mittee's time by six months or
a year.
In most cases the response
was overwhelming: 'Teach it',
he said. In those areas where
approval was not sufficient for
inclusion in the curriculum the
material will be put into a
special section where
teacher's can look it up and
know the church's answer.
In other business the board
approved the sale of the
former St. Peter's School,
Goderieh,,and property to the
St Peter's parish for the stall
of $15,000.
