• 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
