PHONE 53 WINGHAMSys Despite Wednesday night’s stormy and wintry weather, some forty ladies attended the December meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Wingham Canadian Legion Branch 180, at the Legion Home. Top on the agenda was the election of officers for the coming year. Nam­ ed president to succeed Mrs. Ernie Lewis was Mrs. Stewart Forsyth. Other officers are: vice-presidents, Mrs. Dave Carruthers and Mrs. Jos­ eph King; secretary, Mrs. Ted Gaul- ey; treasurer, Mrs. R. Dawson ;• press reporter, Mrs. John Strong; relief of­ ficers, Mrs. E. Lewis and Mrs. H. Campbell; pianists, Mrs. N. Sander­ son and Mrs. B. Kennedy; and audi­ tors, Mrs. B. McKenzie and Mrs. ,L. Hingston. Editor, Advance-Times, Wingham, We heartily approved your editorial re“ Diaper- Alley”. Personally we would rather live in “Diaper Alley’* than on “Snob Row”, People should realize that from that same Hillcrest will probably come the future mayor of Wingham, not tp mention doctors, lawyers and future dignitaries of church and state. These young parents are contribut­ ing more to the future ,of Wingham and to our country, than are those who look down their noses at the lines of flying white banners—which to us, at any rate, are a symbol of the grow­ ing strength and power of our nation. Hats off to Hillcrest! Please renew subscription to your paper for another year. We would not like to be without it. C, M. Dennis, R. R. 2, Bluevale, Ont.
