MAY 8,n Ontario Maps Are Being Distributed With distribution now under way of the 1966 edition of the official road map, published by the Department of Highways, Ontario, Highways Minister Charles S. MacNaughton notes that a novel method of folding makes referring to it as simple as leafing through the pages of a book. In conjunction with the new method of folding and arrange- ment of the material, a revised indexing of place names great- ly simplifies the pinpointing of all communities and lakes. Similarly, the inset maps of cities and other blocks of in- formation -- such as the mile- age chart -- can be found much more easily than in the past by simple reference to key maps on the back cover of the 1906 edition. Through these improvements the desired information can be found by opening only one pan- el of the map at a time. Thanks to the noticeably greater ease with which the new production can be used, it will be a simple matter to refer to the map while travelling by car, as noted by Mr. IvlacNaughton. All the other helpful features of previous maps have been re- tained, such as panels depicting various Traffic Signs, another listing First Aid Posts, etc. FM radio stations have been added to the former listings of stand- ard broadcast radio stations. The new map may be ob- tained free of charge from any of the 18 district or five region- al offices of the Department of Highways, its Head Office Speech. Wins Girl UN Trip Joanne Elligson, 15, of R.

School chums and neighbors held a shower on Saturday eve- ning at the home of Mrs. Clif- ford Logan. A bride's book was compiled and the evening was spent in contests and games. The chair of honor was dec- orated with pink and white streamers and pink wedding bells. Nancy and Doreen An- derson, Debbie and Judy Cook and Gail Mayberry carried in the gifts. The bows were made into a garland to be worn by the bride-elect for the evening. Mrs. George Campbell Han- na, the former Caroline Mary Louisa Fisher, passed peacefully away on Tuesday, April 12 in her 89th year. It is said the late Mrs. Han- na was the oldest resident to have spent her entire lifetime in Wingham. Her father, Peter Fisher, ar- rived in Wingham on foot in 1859. He walked from Guelph to Owen Sound, them to God- erich, to find a suitable mill site. He chose to build his three mills--saw and shingle mill, flour mill and woollen mill at the location on the Maitland River in Lower Wing ham. His original dams are still in use there. Peter was joined in his enterprise by his brother, Archie Fisher from St. Marys, and together they had the three mills operating in three years' time, 1861. Mr. Fisher was married May 24 1864. He brought, as the first bride to Wingham, Louisa Em- ma Wright, whose home had been in Guelph. Caroline was born April 24th 1877, the day another little sister Caroline had died with fever. No one felt they could begin to call the new baby Caroline, so they called her "Little Love" and she was to be known by that name all her life. As a girl of 16 her father felt she must have the advant- age of further education., par- ticularly in music. Caroline went to Toronto and enrolled in the Baptist girls' college, known as Moulton Ladies' Col- lege in 1893. She studied with Dr. A. S. Vogt, then principal of the Toronto Conservatory of Music. She was awarded the highest honors in music in her class when graduating in 1895. Upon returning to Wingham she was appointed organist in St. And- rew's Presbyterian Church. On Sept. 4th, 1902 Caroline was married to George Camp- bell Hanna, the elder son of John and Mary Hanna, pioneer merchants in Wingham. George wished to expand the business and the first mod- em red brick block was opened in the spring of 1908 on Jose- phine St., the present location of N. D. Cameron Limited. On October 8th of the same year his untimely death was caused through an epidemic of typhoid fever. This was a bit- Nonagenarian, Martin Garniss R.

He was well known throughout the area for his gen- erous, kindly nature, his lovely tenor voice and interest in all community activities.. At the time of his death he was captain in the 33rd Militia Regiment with headquarters in London. After Mr Hanna's death Mrs. Hanna and daughter Louise lived with Postmaster and Mrs. Fisher. Later Mrs. Hanna became organist in the Wingham Baptist Church where she served faith- fully for over 25 years. Many people in the community re - member her as their beloved music teacher. She carried on her piano class for over 50 years and throughout the years was always in demand as an accompanist. Mrs. Hanna, through her as- sociation with Canadian Club and the Chatauqua Concert Ser- ies had the privilege of meeting and entertaining many authors and concert artists. She was always young at heart and enjoyed life through her Christian service and kind- ness to those about her. Her sister Harriette, brother John, sister Margaret and bro- ther Peter predeceased her. She is survived by one daugh ter, Louise Eleanor, Mrs. 0. M, McConkey; her sisters-in-law, Mrs. John W.
