The most recent one took place about a year and a half ago, when the Wenger Brothers became publishers, with Barry Wenger as editor, Mr. Wenger, formerly editor of the 'Mild- may Gazette, has' had many years of experience in the Ontario weekly field .... and under his expert guidance the paper has enjoyed increasing progress and prestige.

Doc:—Quite obviously, Wingham has enjoyed a colourful newspaper his- tory . . and this evening it also en- joys a rather unique distinction—for its saluting the town's oldest resident, We have to extend the honour in double measure, Jack: I'm afraid I don't follow you.

This popular program has been featuring the stories of weekly newspapers and the oldest resident in each community, Jack:—This evening on the "paper and patriarch" feature of our Cities Service programme, we salute Wing- ham, Ontario, where the weekly press is an institution dating back 80 years to 1872. That's when Robert Matheson started The Wingham Times. Original. ly printed in Clinton, the Times was a strongly Liberal paper. Naturally, the Conservatives didn't like that too well , . so the following year, 1873, they persuaded Charles Cliff to estab- lish a competitive weekly called the Wingham Advance.

She has been extremely active in church work and in the Order of the Eastern Star .. and for the past number of years there's always. a party in honour of Mrs, Dawson's birthday; and the ladies of the church guild serve the many guests. Jack: Wonderful! And you say that Mrs, Bosnian. is the same age as Mrs. Dawson? reports from organizers that the .$60,- 666,6%) in bonds sold last year tinder the Payroll Savings Plan will no long. er stand as a record for 'Qntario," Mr. Young said. For the vast two weeks a team of VI trained workrs :have been assisted in setting up the Payroll Savings Plan in some 1,860. of Ontario's largest plants with ..employees purchased bonds. It is ;expected this year that considerably more than 59 .per cent will take advantage of the Wan fand will PlirchaSe more than half' ,of the total raised in Canada through Payroll. Savings, "The Payroll Savings Plan for the purchase of bonds has been remark- ably, effective, Individual purchases of bonds have almost doubled since the Bret series went on sale in 1946 and today more than 90 per cent of .Can- ada's largest employers make the Plan available to their employees;" Mr. 'Venn.* said. "These employers feel that the development and mainten- ance of the habit of thrift is a public 'service." He said that because employ- ees have done such an outsanding job in subscribing to the plan in Ontario, the principal job of organizers will he. to show those who have never sub- scribed the advantages of this conven- lent way to save. The new bonds come in denomi- nations of $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000 and $5,000 and pay interest rate of 3.44 per cent if held for their full term, higher than ever before, Canada Sav- ings Bonds differ from other govern- . ;Bent issues in that they may be cash- ed at their full olace value at any time but while retained by the purchaser pay a high rate of interest, WELLINGTON FIRE Insurance Company Est. 1840 An all Canadian Company which has faithfully served its policy holders for over a century.

Mrs. Bosman was born near Newmarket . and her husband was a farmer, too, for a while. Later when they moved to Blue, vale he switched to making cement tiles. Later they moved to Wingham. Mrs. Bosman has been a widow for the past four years . . . . but she is the proud matriarch of quite a large family numbering 2 sons, 2 daughters, 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grand- children! Jack: Golly ... I just can't get over the coincidence, Two ladies born on the same day 95 years ago/ but in dif- ferent places . . . both spending their old age in the same little town. Doe: It's really an unusual situation, isn't it? And Cities Service is very happy to offer double the usual good wishes to Mrs. W. M. Dawson and Mrs. L. H. Bosnian. May they both continue to be the grand old ladies of Wingham for a long time to come! Jack: And since there are two of them, you can make that double for me! Also . . both Mrs, Dawson and Mrs. Bosman will be presented with small to support both newspapers? life-size charcoal portraits of them- Jack:—So you'd think . . . but both selves by the well-known Canadian; papers continued to publish regularly artist, Egbert C, Reed.

Mind you, both of these presentations will appear in an them underwent frequent changes of early issue of the Wingham Advance- ownership—the Advance at various Times! times being published by Liberal M.P.'s—but each firmly adhered to its political viewpoint through the years. Eventually, though, this rivalry came to an end in 1921 . . when A. G. Smith, then the editor of the Advance, brought about an amalgamation under the name of "Advance-Times." Doc:—So the final victory went to the Conservatives. Jack: Now there's an odd thing, Doc, Although each of the papers had firmly upheld its political beliefs up to that time, after the amalgamation the Advance-Times became independ- ent polictically . . . and has enjoyed a very favorable reputation for its un- biased reporting of the news ever since. Doc; Well with competition elimin- ated, I suppose the Advance-Times did well for itself. Jack:—Yes, as you might expect, circulation increased encouragingly, and to further consolidate its position in the district, the paper later absorb- ed two other local weeklies, the Gorrie Vidette and the Wroxeter News.
