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.

R. R. 2, Bluevale, Ont.
