Auburnit.es have no wish to
change this.
The.: matter came' to .the fore
• when Auburn's .postmaster re-
ceived the 'following letter fron:i
the district director of postal ger-.
vice:
"The.• Canadian •. Permanent
• ,Committee ., on Geographical
Names , has suggested that the
name -.of 'the Auburn' post 'office
be •changed to Manchester. The
reason given is that Manchester
IS the official 'name recognized by.
the Ontario Department of='Muni-
cipal; Affairs for the police vil-
lage in, Huron Electoral. District,
which ' is , .designated .:Auburn for
apurposes.: The committee'
post l .t
- lso peirrtsk-out.; that•` Manchester-
pis .accepted ;by the ,residents: as
the: name of their • community
which, wasestablished in records
about 175.
No one. seems to ,know. ` how
the ;village. was named Manchester
but .itt is pti,elieved'to have, been
changed when tle. post; office •was_
located her and:.'there:'w•as ..ano-
ther Manchester, which: would
