Wound It But Once
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
Now is the only. time you own,'
Live, love; toil with a will;
Place no faith in the morrow, for
The clock may then be still.
IN MRMORIAIVT
In fond and loving memory of Mrs.
George M. Robertson, who died one
year ago the 7th,, March.
We who loved you, sadly miss you
As it dawns another year,
Thoughts of you are always near.
In our lonely hours of thinking
Niece and Nephew,
Mr, and Mrs. Jas, V. Breen.
1 MEMORIAM
Robertson• --In loving memory of La-
titia 1teid, beloved wife of Geo, M,
Robertson, who departed' this life
March 7th,, 023,
With heart both crushed and sore,
Beside her grave X Often. stand '
But in the gloom the sweet voice
canto
Not dead, but gone before.

The other day • we installed a telephone in the •
house of a resident on Alice Street.
Does anyone ask where Alice Street is ?
It is that short thoroughfare in the far northern
section of the town, running between Charles Street
and Maitland River.
Well, what about it, you ask; what is so wonderful about that?
Nothing wonderful, perhaps, but we call attention to the way the
town is growing—always reaching out farther and farther as newcorn
ers settle within our borders, ,and new citizens grow up and begin keep-
ing house,
Take W ingham's 'telephone development as an index! Five years
ago, on January, 1st, 1919, we had in service at the Wingham exchange
683 telephones, Since then new cables have been laid, new poles erec-
ted, new vwires.strung, new switchboard and central office equipment
installed until today we have 763 instruments in service here. ,e,
And each of our 8 operators is glad to give you pt'oinpt connection
with any one of these 763 users of our service, perhaps a little more
promptly, due to- constantly itnpt'oving operating methods, than was
possible even short years ago.
And so the value to you of telephone service is growing day by day
as the number of people youmay talk to grows. And each of our 11
employees in Wine , m is x"
�;lxa anxious to help you in getting the most out of
your telephone service.
