The Whigham Advance-Times, Wednesday, October 6th, 1954 Pace N1m»
A king-size apple pie weighing
over a hundred pounds was
recently baked for the Washing
ton State Apple Blossom Fest
ival. The specially built alumi
num pie pan — the largest ever*'’
made — measured eight feet"
across.
Made us wonder how .big a
pie you’d get if all the apple pies
baked in one day on regular
size aluminum' pans were put
together. And that brings to
mind all the different aluminum
cooking utensil? used today in
homes and hospitals and res
taurants ... No wonder Canada
is stepping up her production of
this light, bright metal to one
and a quarter billion pounds a
year! Aluminum Company of
Canada, Ltd. (Alcan).

That’s why I have been so slow to
acknowledge the 75th birthday number
of your paper. I was 88 on August 18.
I enjoyed the Anniversary number
of the Wingham Advance-Times, In
my young days those two papers were
at each others throats.
I remember the early days of Wing
ham school, when it had only two
rooms, with a single board partition
between the rooms. I was in that of
the principal, a Mr. Molesworth. He
looked so funny with his nose shot

Make Place Name
The Farrish family on Highway 87
between Gorrie and Fordwicb, have
just completed a novel place name for
their farm. Behind the Maitland River,
which crosses the farm, is a steep hill.
Here they arranged stones marking
the name "Maitland Bend”. A coat of
white wash gave effect. The Farrish
farm, on- which purebred cattle and
chickens are raised, is registered as
“Maitland Bend". The place name,
made of stones from' theii’ own farm,
is quite attractive.
Nearly every hour of the day we
could hear Mr. Molesworth threaten
some pupil with a flogging.' Flogging
was the first and last order of the
day. , |
Wingham had sdme fine men, Mr.
Flack, of Lower Wingham, was one of
them. John Buchanan, cousin of
George Reid, the artist, was another.
When I was about eleven years old, I
went into his harness shop to pick
up some scraps of leather to cover a
ball. When he came upon me he said
my selection was no good. Too thick
and spongy. He picked out something
thinner and firmer and also showed
me how to stitch on the cover.
Respectfully yours,
