WINOHAM, ONT,, THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, I918
• In obedience to a command of the Brit-
ish War Office a mass meeting was held in
Wingham on Tuesday evening in the town
hall. Reeve Tipling acted as chairman
and explained why the meeting was called.
It was for the purpose of organizing for
greater production. The meeting was
opened with prayer by Rev. Dingman
and the singing of the Maple Leaf. Ad-
dresses were given by Rev. Perrie, Rev.
Armstrong, Rev, Dingman, A. H. Mus-
grove and Geo. Spotton.
Mr. Musgrove said it was not a. ques-
tion of whether or not it would pay to
plant vegetables, it is our duty we owe
not only to the boys in the trenches, pris-
on camps and ho pitals but to ourselves.
He predicted that before long Canada.
and the United States would be on rations
as England is at present. He said he
would be one to co-operate and rent 100
acres and plant it, whether money was
made or not it was a great national duty.
Between the speeches the audience was
favored with solos by Mrs. Dingman and
Mr. Willis, a quartette by Mrs. Buchanan,
Mrs. Dingman, Mr. Hill and Mr. Willis,
and an excellent instrumental by Mr.
Mullheron of Brussels.
The band played a couple of selections
in front of the hall,
Committee will be named to take hold
