Field dispatches said British, Ameri- can and Preach assault forces reached their first objectives within an hour. The landings were made in calm dear weather and went off exactly on schedule, it was announced officially. All early reports indicated that re- sistance at the initial stages of the op- eration was much less tilart anticipat- ed. Pilots, from whose planes parachut- ists jumped a little before dawn, said they encountered little or no ack-ack fire. The greatest naval force ever to strike a blow in the Mediterranean -- more than 80D ships, including battle- ships-,—landed the troops and backed thorn up with intense covering fire, Naval units partieipatifig included British, American, Canadian, Froth, Netherlands, Polish, 'Greek and lief giatt ships, The latitlirigS Were made at several points along a broad section of the coast ,at placeswideiy separated from Friend: "Say, Bill, I saw your wife down town yesterday with a black patch over her eye.

Published in The Ontario Gazette, August 5th, 1944 to Ose a slang phrase, and decided he would leave it out of the paper, Word of this decision reached the author, On the eve of publication day a strange thing happened, One of the staff had a key to the office, The Times was printed and folded when the proprietor got there in the morn- ing, Nobody kneW how it happened. But that ended the argument, Some years later in my meanderings I was reminded of this incident when. I called upon one of the writers in his office in Victoria, li,C. The editor of the Times went to Teeswater one day and stayed over night, That night a clothesline was robbed. The Teeswater News chron- icled the robbery, mentioning that a. man's shirt was taken from the line, and the item added "the editor of the Wingham Times was in town that night". This was too good a joke for the Advance to miss,, so the local item was reproduced, with the added re- mark that the Times editor had not been seen wearing any new shirt since then. The Times man 'was so wrath- ful that he instituted a libel suit against the. News and, the Advance. When the assizes came along there was no one present to give evidence and the case was dismisesd. That evening the publisher 'of the Advance received a telegram from his legal counsel, "Thank God, charges dis- missed." The Advance and the Times were running along nicely when a third paper, the Vidette, carne on the scene. This changed the situation, as this third organ cut more into the. Times than it did the Advance. Then came a race between the 'two for existence. They both dropped dead the same week and the Advance went sailing along as usual. New interests resusci- tated the Times the followifig week, but the owner of the Vidette, like the Arab of old, folded his tent and silent- ly stole away. Some years later a •third paper, the News, was launched on the sea of journalism, but the waves were too strong for such a frail craft and it foundered on the rock of non-support. Following the trend of the times, as has happened in many other towns and even cities, the Times was taken over by the Advance with the result that the citizens of Wingham now have only the one excellent journal, the Advance-Times. The romance of journalism in Wingham had its ups and downs. What would a town be vr',thout a newspaper? OPEN SEASON LISTED FOR BIRD HINTING MASSEY FUND aft••••••,...

PS-AND-DOWNS IN th of September since the first issue f the Wingham Advance came off the d Washington hand press. The Wing- am Times had preceeded the Advance y a year or more, founded by the ate R. A. Graham, members of whose amily still reside here. In the pos- ession of the family is a copy of the Times, Vol. 1, No. 29, 1872, and which have been privileged to see, I have s a keepsake a copy of the first issue f the Advance, which was founded by Charles Cliffe of Kincardine, with Ames Fleutyas manager. The open- annOuncertient gives it the name of the Wingham Advance and Bruce Advertisers. Just imagine, two weekly papers in an Unincorpor- ated hamlet of about four hundred persons. But great things were in store for this place—a railroad was coming, and the citizens were enthus- iastically hopeful. At the passing of a year James Fleuty became proprietor, pubjisher and editor, In the columns of the Times was running a bitter contro- versy between two leading citizens. I'm withholding their names. One week a letter by one of the writers was so particularly virulent that after it was up in type the editor got cold feet, The weather this year 'has been al- most perfect harvest weather with the exceptioa that it has been much hot- ter than usual, The temperature has been ranging in the 80's and some places have reported temperatures of 92 degrees. Monday afternoon it was around the 92 mark here and as we write this Tuesday it,looks as though it Will be about that again. We have, talked with a few thresh- ers and they report that they are away, ahead of last year in their operations, in fact according to their reports there was more threshing done up to last Saturday night than by the first of. September last year. With continued good,. harvest 'weather most of the threshing will be over in this area by the first of next month. The quality of the grain according to reports we have received, is excel- lent, especially the wheat: The grain has filled nicely and is dry and .hard. Mr. Lyon Findlater of Bluevale, who has a farm in the West, has a crop report that says that the harvest is starting out there. The report also says that the general crop situation has suffered some 'deterioration due to ex- treme hot weather, but that in lighter land where the crop was planted early the wheat fields show fairly well filled heads and has not been affected to any appreciable extent.
