Conditions Ideal for Eclipse Many people in Wingham viewed •the phenomenon on Monday after- noon, So bright was the sttn that people would have noticed nothing Unusual unless they had beefi on the watch for the eclipse, Viewed with the naked eye, the sun seemed a ball of dazzling light. Through a Smoked glass, however, it was easily seen that Old•Sol was being partially obscured. At 3.30 throegh smoked glasses, the stilt looked like the crescent moon, which artists are so fortd of paintin.g An old Negro preacher owned a mule which had an efficient pair of heels and a loud but unmusical voice. Orte Sunday morning, while the preacher was delivering, his sermon, tlie mule persisted in putting his head in at the window and braying loudly,. The preacher filially said: "Bred- dern and sistern, is dere one among You all who ktiows' how t6 keep dat mule quiet?'' "Palison,"-'replied .a xnan, "if you will jest tie a stone tci date rmile't tail he sho will keep quiet." "l3reddern and sistern," said the preached, "Let hint who » is without sin » he de fust stone.". A rough survey of Huron County develops the fact that there are ap- proximately two hundred crippled children in 'this County. Expert Surgical opinion, and the experience of those engaged in help- ing these children at other points, agree that about sixty per cent. of these unfortunates eat] be CURED if giveit proper attention.. • • This means examination by experts followed by a course of treatment that the majority of individuals can - pot afford. The Lions Club of Goderich has undertaken to raise » funds and hold a clinic at an early date where a thorough examinatiort. Of these child- ren will be made by experts, v&ith- out, cost ,to the parents.

STATION 10 B.P. TO DISCONTINUE - BROADCASTING' ON SUNDAY MAY 4th The local broadcasting station through lack of funds ip carry out the necessary improvements to their equipment will be on the air for the last time on Sunday of thit week. The station up te the present has been eperating from storage batteries and as these are worn out they were hoping that they would be able to install new equipment to use hydro Power, and also a new transmitter, using 100%,modulation which would mean that the station would be more titan three times as powerful, but still not cover the dial on the local sets as at present. The estimated cost of the improvements would be some- what in excess of $200. As this is an amateur station and has no ready source of income the radio listeners were asked to co-op- erate in raising the necessary funds, as yet only a few have responded, The Radio Club purpose holding a meeting as soon as a suitable tirne can be arranged to discuss some plan by which they may be able to return to the air at some future date, In all probability a canvass will be made of the radio enthusiasts for some don- atioln: The local broadcasting station is, we feel, a great advertisement for the town of Wingham, being listened to by hundreds for miles around, and it should receive the loyal support of this vicinity.

We endeavor to keep our eyes and ears open, but we often miss a few items which are interesting, sinsply because someone has neglected to tell us. We know that a great many folks do not crave publicity, but a little item in the local. paper need never make one feel that they will be un- duly criticised about it. It also helps out and assists in 'producing an in- teresting sheet. Call us on the phone or stop us on the street and we- shall gladly accommodate you. If you are in possession of news,send it in as early as possible. We are all human and we know how easy- it is to forget. Let as have it while it is fresh in your mind. ,We are here to ser ti public in the very best manner we are able and ;with a little co-operation from them the Advance -Times will' continue to be a paper of which we need not be ashamed.
