Australian newspaper
interesting to compare
Wingham suffered through e
devastating heat wave in February
Now, wait a minute, before you
think we've taken complete leave of
our senses, it's Wingham, Australia,
were talking about.
Bob. Carbert of Wingham `was
good enough to bring in a copy of
the Feb. 22 edition of the Wingham
Chronicle, the weekly newspaper in
the Australian town.
Dr. Roger Schwass, a former
assistant farm editor at CKNX and
his wife Mary, toured the "Land
Down Under" this winter and visit-
ed Wingham, Australia. They sent
Mr. Carbert a copy of the newspa-
per as a pdint of interest,
Aside from a few strange -sound-
ing columns, such as "Up the
Dingo" and "Tinonee Topics", the
newspaper is filled with the type of
familiar features carried in this
newspaper, including personal
notes, old files, death notices and
classified advertising, to name just
a few.
One interesting feature is a story
about David Mudie, the Australian
youth who visited our town this
January during the dead of a Cana-
dian winter.
Young Mr. Mudie was in Canade
on a Lions Club exchange, staying
with a family at Strathroy.
The Chronicle reports: "A high-
light of David's visit was a stopover
in Wingham, Canada, a town of
3,000 people and dubbed by the
locals as the Radio and Television
Town of Canada. It's reported to be
the smallest town in the country to
boast its own radio and TV stations.
"Armed with piles of heavy
clothing and a new pair of snow
boots, David was taken on a tour of
the main street by local Lion Lloyd
"Casey" Casemore."
The lead story on .the front page
of the Chronicle is about plans to
promote the Beef Week '89 pro-
gram. The schedt%le of events, com-
mencing April 29, includes a field
day, barbecue, fashion parade and
judging.
The businesses in Wingham,
Australia, are as eager to promote
the town as : they are here. Aus-
traliart organizers even were plan-
ning a Crazy bay sale to be held on
April 15.
The citizens of Wingham also
plan to expand their neighborhood -
watch program in light of a drop of
20 per cent in residential break-ins,
the newspaper reports.
For the week ending Feb. 21, the
hottest day in Wingham was Feb.
19, checking in at 30.5 degrees Cel-
sius and the coldest morning was
Feb. 20 at 13.5 degrees.
Cricket, swimming and surfing
all are popular sports in Winghatn,
Australia and the accomplishments
of local youngsters are detailed in
the paper.
.All in all, even though Wingham,.
Australia, is on the other aside .of the
world, we found more similarities
than differences between the two
towns and the interests of their peo-
ple.
