Concert Series Brings Much To TQwri,
The winter series of concerts sponsored locally and
presented through the co-operation of the Department of
‘',ducation, brings a tremendous gift Qf what might be
termed 'culture' to a community of this size, We have not
vet had the pleasure of hearing one of the concerts in.
Wingham, but we have .attended similar evenings at both
Walkerton and Hanover and have yet to be disappointed.:
It is perfectly true, of course, that many people tt
inclined to class the. concert series entertainments as "nigh
14-ow.“I11 fact there are enough people who do so that at •
tend,anc•es are often far from capacity. It is for this reason
BOX 273
LETTERS TO THE gPITQR,
Ottawa, February 2nd., 1951
Advance-Times,
Wingham, Ontario
Dear Sir;
It is now apparent front reports
which have been .received from Post-
masters in ,a11 parts ot the country,
that over the recent Christmas period,
the public co-operated as never before
with the Postal Service in early mail-
ing of their Christmas gifts and greet-
ings.
This co-operation has been deeply
appreciated. It indicates there is a
widespread understanding of the
problems iVhich the Post Office faces
in the Christmas rush and a general
readiness to assist the Postal Ser-
vice in meeting them.
In its preparedness for handling.
The heavy mailings, which again set a
new record in volume, the department
took on 26,000 temporary employees.
These temporary emptoyees did a
good job, although many of t e at
had no previous experience in postal
work. Even this enlarged organiza-
tion, however, would have been unable
to dispose of the heavy mailingsg be-
fore Christmas without the 'effective
co-operation of the public. Because
snail was posted well in advance of
Christmas clay, in most inStances, our
Post Offices were back on an almost
normal basis by 22nd, and 23rd. of
December,
The newspapers . contributed greatly
to this happy situation by keeping
the public -informed through ,news
stories, special articles and editorials,
on developments in handling the mails
from day to day, and I would be re-
miss, therefore, if I did not thank you
for the help your publication gave us.
With all best •wishes. for the new
year, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
W. J. Turnbull,
Deputy Postmaster General

THE OLD HOME TOWN 1. Y~hnte.lt By .STANLEY
of which Wingham can be very proud.
Having been a member of such a band oursel yes at one
5..inie we have some idea of the endless time and pat-
ience required on the part of the bandmaster before ,he has
formed a passable organization. Only one who is deeply
interested, not only in music, but in children, as well, could
handle the task sucessfully.
The boys' and girls' band is in need of more members.
If your children are at all musically inclined, you couldn't
do better than urge them to join the band. It \vill provide !I
them with .a new interest and offer a type of opportunity
:For self-discipline which will be extremely. valuable as the
.-ears go by.
Are Your Children in the Band?
The parents of boys and girls who are members of the
'unior band gathered one night recently and organized so
that they might lend their adult guidance .and encourage-
ment to the youngsters. The move is a good one, for the
boys' and girls' band is something that should not be lost
to the town at any cost.. It seems evident that with the act-
ive help of a strong parents' group, the band should be able
to make strides ahead and eventually become something -

fled to read the letter which appeared in last week's issue
of this newspaper from the Mayor of Georgetown. Ibis
Worship expressed . pleasure at the reception which had
been accorded to the hockey team, girls' pipe band and
,ithers from (;eorgetown who visited Wingham for a hock.-s
cy game.
Communities the size of ours are always aux-ions for 's
the good opinion of those who live in other places. We are n Afi inclined to feel that neighbourliness between towns is just
as important ,as it is. between families. If such is the case, 351
there is no better way to demonstrate our good intentions
than that old-fashioned spirit of hospitality which the
people from Georgetown appreciated so much. In fact,
municipal hospitality is so important that w e have often I;
thought it would be kvorthwhile to have a special commit-
tee of the council for that express purpose, to function EN
warm hand of friendship to strangers in town, whether
much as the welcome committee of a service club operates. N
NO opportunity should ever be overlooked to extend the
they are here for a day or it year. zit • n
Folks, please don't forget our suggestion that you send
in news of your visitors and your visits, as well as the other N
newsworthy items which occur in your circle of acquain-
tatices.So very often, when you publish ta newspaper, some n -
one will say, "Why didn't you mention in the paper that
So-and-So has gone to Florida ?" or a letter from out of
town will complain, "I. never see anything about the Black
family in the paper." This is the type of news that requires
your co-operation. We can't find it all by, ourselves, And
the people who want to see such items in the paper have a
genuine and kindly interest itf ,old friends and want . to
maintain the contact through the columns of the news-
paper,

do appreciate it, something which has hitherto been com-
pletely unobtainable outside the large cities and then only
at .a high price. Old-time music and dance band syncopa-
tion are so universal today that many of us are inclined to
forget'that not every listener is satisfied with this kind of
music. Some crave for those finer compositions which fall
1-Aore closely to the line of perfection.
The idea that we may in time learn to appreciate really
good music is not so preposterous as it may at first ap-
pear. Recently 'we were talking- to a friend who visited
Italy during the summer, and he remarked on the inborn
sense of good music present in most Italians. Where the
man on the street here would be whistling a popular ditty,
:711S counterpart in Italy runs over a few bars from one of
Ihe operas. They .don't do so because they are highbrow,
nut because they love the music which the passing )Tars
i'Lave proven worthwhile.
It is to be hoped that the concert series will be contin-
ued in years to come, and that more and more people Nvill
r,earn to enjoy the rich satisfaction thus made available to
