ALONG THE MAIN DRAG
. .
• JULY AND WINTER--Dire Pre-
dictions aboet,the kind of weather
Which can be experiepeed in ,Wing-
ham in the so-cancl spring were
bandied around the council table
on Monday When councillors dis-
die cussed a government' grant on
cleaning streets after the winter
sanding, which is good only until
May let, Consensus of opinion
seemed to be that winter is still
here on that date, and- 'Councillor
Bill Bergman said he's seen 10
inches of snow in Wingham
streets on May 24th. After this
spring we can believe it.

MUCH BETTER, THOUGH
Josephine Street Woke& much bet-
ter for its cleaning up this week
after several tons of send, scat-
tered througimet the winter, -had
been, removed. Trouble is now that
the litterbugs arc' at • work, scat-
tering popsicle bags and suchlike
around, and before long, the
street may be back to anormal.
What the town needs is either
more waste receptacles or better
use of the cries we have.

NOT BITING-Cold weather and

from the, reports of disgruntled

Who got 14 nice ones Saturday -be-
fore the regular week-end flood.
