ANNUAL REPORT
,The Wingham Arena Statement for
year ending NaVember 19; 1931, is'
shown 'below.

patronage due to the'carrent depres-
sion has been very inarke'd. The dit-
ectors have. worked hard to keep
things going, but without a great .deal
of success. They realize that it is es-
sential for the children that this. skat-
ing rink is Operated, and they hope.
duritig :the coining winter season, that
the public of Wingham will support'
their efforts by attending the hockey
ganies and other .attractions planned.
At present the rink faces very hea-
vy liabilities, a fewof which are, an
overdraft of $61,05 at the bank, in-
terest on the first mortgage $210.00
due January- 1, 1932, past due inter-
est, $825.00 for two years and a half
on the second niortga.ge, and a 'bat-
ance of $100:00 due on the loud spea-
ker equipment installed for skating,
'A. meeting of the shareholders call-
ed oft November 19th was only atten-
ded by four, and the date was there-
fore extended to Tuesday, December
1, when it is hoped that .a good atten-
dance will be on hand.

chair, The meeting opened with the
singing of two verses of the Maple

THROWN' FROM WAG. 1LISTOWEL CLUB
ON, MORRIS FARMER'S
INJURIES ARE FATAL
A sad and fatal accident occurred
on Monday afternoon about 4.30 on
Diagonal Road, opposite the residen-
ce of T. J. McLean, when Peter Fow-
ler, a well known and highly esteem-
ed resident of the township of Mor-
ris was thrown from his wagon to
the pavement. Mr, 'Fowler, who re-
sided about two miles from town on
the Bluevale Road, had been in town
cloii)rler in the afternoon for a load Of
and had left for home, when on
the outskirts of the town he turned
around and was returning when leis
team ran away. It is thought he left
the wagon for same reason for at the
time of his losing his balance he was
endeavoring to get from the near of
the wagon to the front where the
lines were lying. Mr. Foevier was
thrown with such force that besides
.several cuts and bruises his neck was
broken. He was removed to the hos-
pital but passed away shortly after
admission. The deceased was in his
69th year; being born in the same
township in which he has continuous-
ly resided. Surviving besides his sor-
rowing wife are two sons, George at
home, and Jack, who is attending the
Pharmacy College in Toronto, and
one daughter, Isabella, at home, also
a brother and a sister, James of Wing
ham and Isabella of Leamington.
The funeral will be held from his
late residence on Thursday- afternoon
and will be conducted by Rev. K. Mac
Lean of Wingham, and Rev-. Mr.
Williams of Ethel. Interment will be
made in the Wingham cemetery.

. BISHOP OF HURON
ENTERTAINED HERE
The members of Use Listowel Bad-
minton Club played their return visit
to Wingham on Thursday evening of
last week. Owing to only one court
being available at the church, an ad-
ditional court was temporarily mark-
ed out in the Armouries. The Arm-
ouries while it can he tamed into an
excellent place for this game, was ra-
ther dark, owing to the short time for
preparations, The ceilings in both
plaoes were somewhat lower than the
visitors are accustomed to and this
proved to their disadvantage, losing
to the local club by 15 to 7.
Following the play, sandwiches,
c2tke and coffee were` served in the
church. Mr. Smith, of Listowel, eex-
pressed his appreciation on behalf of
the visitors, for the enjoyable even-
ing and hoped to have retnrn games
again in the spring,

CONTEST FOR
MAYOR ASSURED..
With nominations being held vext
Monday a contest is aiready assured
for Mayor, W. H., Willis, who is a
former Mayor has, on the request' of
a number of citizens, definitely de-
cided tO stand. Mayor Fells, who was
undecided for a time as to whether
he would seek re-election or not, has,
also been persuaded by his friends,
to again enter the ring. There is al-
so a rumor of one of the councillors
considering offering himself for the
chief magistrate's position, However,
at the present time it looks like a
straight fight be.tween the two men-
tioned. I3oth these rnen have a large
cicfollowing and -a close contest is pre

For the Re.eveship it looks like an
acclamation for the present Reeve,
and in conversation with Reeve Mc-
Kibbon, he informs us that he will
be pleased to again serve as your re-
presentative at the County Council if
you so desire, as the citizens of

He states the corning year evill be
very important for the town of Wing -

the year a re -arrangement regarding
the subsidy cm our County roads will
be made, the old agreement expiring
this year. Also, the equalization of
taxation for county purposes will be
before the County Council the corn -
Mg year.
The slate of Councillors is some-
what in doubt. We believe Corms.
TipIing and Diment will not be in the
field this year, and any new men con-
templating running are diffident in
declaring themselves. j. Crawford,
solicitor, is mentioned as a possibility,
