This card arrived late last week from Wingham's sister city in Michigan. It bears the signa- tures of 372 Standish residents who join in wishing their friends in Wingham a very merry Christ- mas and happy new year. The card will be on display for all to see on the library bulletin board in the town hall. The Christmas wishes are the newest development in the grow- ing relationship between Wing - ham and its new sister city. The association began last summer when a letter from Standish pro- posed the link between the two • towns. Wingham agreed to become a sister city and at the end of August a delegation of 16 people from Standish paid a visit and were entertained here. Later a sister city organization was founded in Wingham with John Strong as president, Elayne Hinton] as vice-president, Norma Strong as secretary and Judy Nevery, treasurer. At the end of October, 23 Wing - ham residents travelled to Stan- dish and were lavishly welcomed with a parade, banquet, parties and tours. Further contacts be- tween the two communities are planned. In the meantime, we are sure everyone in Wingham would like to join in wishing a very merry Christmas to their Standish friends.
