The Wingham Advance Times, 1930-10-30, Page 1•• ARMISTICE AND THANKSGIVING DANCE IN WINGHAM ARMOURIES Single Copies Five Cents. INsendrropmerdeustosemalmommom, NOVEMBER 10th, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ARENA CELEBRATION — VAGABOND'S Dance Bond VVINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30th, 1930 Subeeriptione $2,00 Per Yeaere • ELECTRIC CAR IN OPERATION Saturday saw the inauguration of 'the Deisel Electric Car on the Lon- don branch of the C.N.R, it leaves •London be the • morning at 9.50, ar- o-lying here at 1 o'clock, and making the 'return Wire from Wingham at This car is a decided improvement over the one that ran o tjie Kir car- wline branch two years ago, there be- ing an almost: •entire absence of the jerky motion that characterized the old train. Time alone will tell if the ecar 1s- sufficiently powerful enough to • operate satisfactorily during the win- ter months. On this point the C.N.R. -officials have very little doubt, stat- ing that if the snow banks are too 'Asleep they will replace it again with •the old reliable steam train. During the last few years • the rail- -ways have encountered exceedingly .strong opposition through competi- tion from trucks and •the motor car. During the summer months practical - all express and a large percentage •of the passenger traffic is lost to the railways. With the lose of this rev- enue the railways are compelled to ;retrench and were faced with one of two problems. 'They decided to try .out oil electric cars and maintain the :regular service rather than cut off one train a cloy on some branch lines. It is stated that these cars can be run at a cost of about 3c per mile whereas steam trains cost 16c per 'mile to operate. It is a matter of pure •dollars and cents with the railways, and if they were given the freight and -express patrongae that has been their for years there is no doubt the old :steam train would survive. GOOD OLD BAND! • To every "returned man" the shott of "Good Old Band" is poignantly fa tinnier. It strums the same hear strings as responded to all health forms of recreation and, entertainmen provided to assist :the soldier to for get the more sordid side of war. A in tnilitary life, so in civilian; the Ban forme' the very hub of expression o community spirit and around it sur ges the life of the district it serves As in military life so in uvilian n bia sports event or entertainment ef fort could be thought possible withou the aseestance of the band. Now as we approach our great Ar- • enistice Memorial Celebration which eakes place on Monday afternoon and .evening,, Thanksgiving Day, Nov s 10, -we are reminded that half •the pro- oeeds go to that worthy organization, the Wingham CitizensBand and peo- ple from a wide district centering at Winghara will vvelcorne the opp.or- eunity to • offer encouragement and zhow loyalty to the band they call • -their own. This summer on the oc- casion of the Band 'Tattoo, when for the ,first time our band appeared be- fore' a• Wingham audience in their • 'new uniforms; they received a great ovation, for our people were justly proud of the smart martial •appear- etnce they presented in their trim blue and gold uniforms. • We sonietitnes wonder though if the w.ajority of peo- xe realize the, effort behind a suc- cessful band. • How metier realize that Pour of the Witighatn Bandsmen each have over tweety-five year service to their ere- dit in the Citizens' Band, and since there are two practices each Week of two hours each that these mei have given in Practice alone over five thou - sound hones of their time which trans- ferred into 8 hour daye would repre- sent 640 or over trim years of work- ing days. When it transpires that these practice hours are without re- muneration except for a mueical edu- cation one realizes that our band is comprised of true lovers of music, loyal to their leader mid. to their ore • ganization, faithful aed self-sacrific- •ing bi order that they may render service to their community through the contribution of their musital tal- ent. On of our former band leaders, Mr. A, L Hingston, now retired, made an invaluable contribution to tire Ilttnd by keeping the organieation going through those diffieult years succeeding,the war, and we pay trib- ute to his splendid service. The Band equipment repeesents an investment of approximately three thousand dollars and this equipment • regent:tie constant attention to keep it tip -to -date, Several, "SVOW inStrutnetits are gow needed alid therm ie always a demand IOT modem music. • In organizing a Citizens Band Com: ARMISTICE CELEBRATION COMMITTEE HAS EXCELLENT PROGRAM FOR NOVEMBER 10th • The Armistice Memorial Celebra- tion Committee held their second meeting in the, office of the Wingham Utilities Commission on Monday ev- ening to hear the reports of chair- men of the sub -committees and to further arrange the details of the big programme in hand for Thanksgiving Mr, A.

You will just have to come 'out and see the Rope Climbing, Blind,- fold boxing, pie -eating; the pole pil- low fight, the stilt. race; the ladies driving nails and the small boys try- ing to whistle after eating three soda crackers. The only danger is that you will laugh till tears block your visien.

The refreshment committee will have an ample supply of sandwiches, hot dogs, coffee, etc., to supply the wants of the inner man, The Armistice Memorial Commit- tee is composed of three score men who are giving mulch time and thought to the programme. The sale of tickets has been ouch as to give great encouragement to all who are sponsoring the movement. With the small charge of ten cents for the Pat- riotic Concert and. twenty-five cents for the evening Carnival, there has rarely, if ever, been sci much offered for so little cost. The proceeds, div- ided 'equally between the :Band and the Arena Co., all lernain in Wiuge ham.
