ALONG THE MAIN DRAG
BUSY AT CEMETERY—Anniver
sary fever seems to have reached even
to the cemetery. According to reports
George Brooks, who works for the Wingham Memorial Shop, has been
more than busy these past few weeks
engraving names on stones there, in
preparation for the Decoration Ser
vice which will be held there during
the anniversary celebrations.

LOTS TO SAY—Herb Fuller heard
Jots of comments last week while he
•was putting up the brackets for the
town’s new flowerpots, with just
about everybody who passed putting
in their two cent’s worth. Herb said
he was going to take notes of all the
remarks and write a story for the
Advance-Times, but we never did see
it. We’ve heard a few comments, too-
■on the very nice job he made of the
brackets.

PATIENCE—One or two people
have remarked that the flowers in the
flowerpots aren’t as luxuriant as they
might be. Just wait. Councillor Norm
Keating says that before long* we’ll
have to be trimming the ivy, it will
be so long. Already it’s grown a few
inches.

JUST GROWED—The Advance-
Times’ Anniversary Edition, which
started out as a modest little eight-
or-twelve-page effort, has blossomed
into a 32-page colossus which is try
ing, unsuccessfully, we hope, to get
even larger. Out in the back shop
they’re resigned to printing 32 pages,
but are still resisting strenuously any
attempt to .make it bigger. It is hoped
the first half will be printed this
week.

GORRIE DETAILS—The fire broke
out in Gorrie on Monday didn’t
amount to very much. Wingham fire
men got there to find that a farm
wagon had caught fire and been put
out before their "’arrival. Luckily no
other damage was done.

LUCKY AT MILipMAY—Three
Wingham people were lucky at the
Mildmay bingo last week. Mrs. Shrop-
shall won a $50 prize, and George
Selling.and Mrs. Swanson each split
$50 prizes. Mildmay must have had
even more than its usual share of
Wingham visitors that night.

NOTES QUOTES—We are indebted
to a few friends who called to our
attention the fact that Advance-Times
editorials were quoted two weeks
hand-running in the Financial Post.
