.X-RAY .MACHINE
IS A NECESSITY`
It is gratifying to know that the
Wingham Chamber of Commerce
has undertaken to promote another
campaign this autumn to assist in se-
curing a much-needed X-ray machine'
for our local Hospital: A community
'such as we live in, Wingham and the
-surrounding district, is just as much
entitled to the benefits of the latest
scientific apparatus for diagnosis and
treatment as any other town or city
-however large,
Among the many benefits from
such a machine would be to raise our
'Hospital to a standing equal to atiy
•of those in this part of. Ontario for
X -Ray has become a necessity in the
!diagnosis and treatment of fractures,'
for many bones cannot be accurately
reduced without its aid. Internal. dis-
.eases ' such as .ulcer of the stomach
and duodemus, chronic appendicitis,
stone in the kidney or bladder, gall
•stone, cannot be revealed without g
Ray:
Foreign bodies arc located such as.
a. safety pin in a child's stomach or
windpipe, a needle in the arm or in
the hand, a bullet in the abdomen or
'chest. Doubtful cases of tuberculosis
of the lungs require X -Ray examin-
ation, as also tumours of the brain
or bones, mastoid abscess and many
*ether obscure conditions. 'These are
s'ome of the marry uses of .X -Ray,
and a nurse can be taught to oper-
ate such a machine satisfactorily in
one month, Anyof the manufactur-

WINGHAM CITIZEN'S BAND TATTOO ON
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22:nd, TO BE GALA EVENT
The Citizen's Band Committee of
the Wingham Chamber of Coin/fleece
report gratifying results .in arranging
for a splendid evening of varied en-
tertainment on the date selected,
namely, July 22nd. Bands from the.
neighboring towns are offering will-
ing assistance and Wingham's Band
Tattoo is expected to rank with the
best in this section of the Province.
Goderich band who were not with
us last summer will be one of the
new visitors on July 22nd. Their
Band is reported to be composed of
32 pieces and to be exceptionally
strong this year, Wingham willwel-
come the band from our County
town with enthusiasm.
The 'County town of Bruce will al-
so send a band to uphold the honour
of our neighboring County.. Walk-
erton was not represented last year
either, so these two new Bands will
lend an added interest to the com-
ing Tattoo.
Hanover, whose Band holds recog-
nized leadership in this district were
among the first to offer to help the
Wingham Band in their Tattoo this
year. Their 'effort at the National
Exhibition in Toronto last year re-
ceived wide and favorable comment,
and we are indeed fortunate to have
Them with us again. The splendid
co-operation of Hanover among the
smaller bands makes the Hanover
musicians all the more popular.
Blyth, for its size, has one of the
best Bands in the district, and if the
spirit which supports the Blyth Band
in its home town were emulated am-
ong the citizens of other towns, the
bandsmen, generally, would be great-
ly encouraged. Blyth will be with
us again on July 22nd, and we hope
that our citizens will not fail to ap-
plaud the enterprise of our neighbors
in maintaining such an efficient band.
Several towns are yet to hear from
so we have every reason to expect a
Tattoo this year which will exceed
in popularity any yet attempted here.
Wingham Citizen's Band maintains
a strong position. Among the veter-
an bandsmen here is a goodly sprink-
ling gof younger hien which augers
well for the future of the Band,` We
print below a list of our band mem-
hers with the instruments they play.
G. A. Schatte, Leader; E. Seddon,

NOW OCCUPYING
LARGER QUARTERS
Mr. Wm. Ingham, who for the past
ten years thas conducted a tire and.
battery business, known as the Wing -
ham Tire and Vulcanizing Depot in
the Morton Block, has moved his
business to a more commodious
building formerly known as the South
End Garage.
Mr. Ingham through an honest en-
deavor to serve the public and by
his ready advice, gained by long ex-
perience on tire matters, has built for
himself a steadily increasing business
necessitating this prove.
In moving to larger quarters Mr.
Ingham says he will be more than
ever prepared to give even better ser-
vice than he has in the past, He has
installed on his new premises a lad-
ies' and a gentlemen's restroom that
should be of great convenience to the
motoring public, and has added the
equipment to grease, oil and wash
cars along with his tire and battery
service.

Rev. and Mrs. Davison, received a
nasty tear in the calf of his leg by

HOLD SUCCESSFUL
GARDEN PARTY
A. very 'successful Garden Party
was held at the United Church, Bel-
grave, on Thursday evening, June 18.
It was a fine evening and there was,
a large attendance present for the ex-
cellent supper served by the ladies
of the congregation and to hear the
program which was presented by the
young people of ` Browntown• Tht
program consisted of a play, a threes
act Comedy entitled "Wild Ginger",
musical numbers were given before
the play and between acts; Arnold
Vint favored with mouth organ sel-
ections. Mr. J. McMichael sang a.
solo and an encore. The cast of char-
acters was as follows:
Jake Tallman: A crabbed old mis-
er, Chas. Johnston; Virginia Tallman,
Jake's daughter "Ginger", Margaret
Mustard; Geoffrey Freeman, a neigh-
bor, Melville Mathers Sanford Lak-
ey, Indebted to, Old Jake, Harry Gar-
niss; Marwood Lakey,'Sanford's Osr=
er indulged son, Lloyd Turvey;' Wuzy
Walker, A would-be Chiropractor,
Walter Sellers; Mr. Peterson, A Gro-
cery Man, Bert Garniss, Rachel Lee,
Ginger's Best Friend, Viola McLeod;
Miss Stanley, A Health Nurse, Lil-
lian Garniss; Mrs. Walker, Wa zy'a
Mother, Emma Johnston; Bonita
Lakey, Marwood's Snobbish Sister,
Ethel Garniss.
The play centres on. Jake Tallman's
great greed for money and we find
him being in the rudest shack with
the daughter "Ginger", who leads a
very poor and lonely life. Jake's love
for money drove his wife away when
Ginger was only a baby so that she
never knew her mother but has a
great friend in Rachel Lee. As amt.
goes on Jake is brought to repent of
his miserly ways and as Ginger has
managed through aid from friends,
and particularly Miss Lee, get some
education and a chance to live a life
as a girt desires and on completion
of her terns at school she returns
home to find that her mother who
has been in disguise as Miss Lee, has
returned and her father has purchas-
ed a fine home for them to live itt
and enjoy.
The parts were well taken and
much credit is due these young peo-
ple for their efforts in making the
evening a success and we wish them
the best in the future.
