The many local friends of a former
poplar resident of Wingham, well re-
membered here as Mrs. James Fowler,
now Mrs. James Holloway, residing
in New York, will be glad to know she
has not forgotten the old home town.
Reading the The Advance-Times of
the current campaign for memberships
in the Wingham General-Hospital As-
sociation, she took the opportunity or
subscribing to a Life. Membership.
Wingham is proud of the growing'
number of former residents who have
helped provide the finances for our
fine new hospital and very much ap-
preciates the fine spirit of unselfish-
ness and generosity which they exhibit.
