We TRY TO BOOST WINGHAM ALWAYS Our Efforts Go To Serve Our Own Community. This paper has always been an ad­ vocate of Buy-in-Wingham, as we sincerely believe that Wingham med­ chants can and do supply the needs of the community in a most satisfac­ tory manner. It is only by buying at home and boosting our town at ev­ ery opportunity that we can make Wingham the successful centre. that is its right. During the past week we had an opportunity of s'elling two pages of advertising in our paper to London firms. This we refused to do as we feel that our support should be for Wingham business from whom we ex­ pect advertising which enables us to carry on our weekly paper. This is not the first time that we have re­ fused outside advertising. Our policy has been and will be, full support of local business and projects.

Dear Editor: This is an open letter directed to all citizens in general and to our Chamber of Commerce and Town Council in particular. Wake up, Wingham! Wake up? 1938 is indeed an important milestone in the history of our town and com munity and surely we, its citizens, will not let the year go by without some suitable mark of commemoration. This year, 1938, is the 80th anni­ versary of the arrival of our first set­ tler. Eighty years ago this' Spring, 1858, Edward Farley, our first pion­ eer, poled his clumsy raft up the winding Maitland river and banked its cargo on a site which has since be­ come the Town of Wingham. But that’s not all, 1938 is also the 60th anniversary of the incorporation of Wingham as a town (1878). Surely we, as loyal citizens, will not allow these historical milestones to go unmarked. Let’s wake up our lazy patriotism! Let’s celebrate! People who do not think well of the inherited traditions of their com­ munity, who do not take pride in its history and ’confidence, in its future, are Lazy Patriots. Lazy patriotism is a community, as well as a national, menace which we must not allow to develop here. A community or- town alert to its own welfare, proud of its historical background, alive to its opportunities, and true to its destiny, raises contin­ uing generations of young people to whom the future of that community or town may be safely entrusted. Surely we, the citizens of Wing­ ham, do not wish to be classed as Lazy Patriots. Blit the organization of such a cele­ bration is not a job for any one man nor any one organization to handle. The Town Council or Chamber of Commerce should consider it their sacred duty to start the ball rolling for a monster celebration in early summer to commemorate one or both of these outstanding events in our community life. Activities cohid be put on to raise money to erect a Cairn in memory of this date in our history. Every organization in town could be called upon to contribute their services to such a celebration and would, no doubt, give it their whole hearted support. Think it over, Civic Fathers, it’s in yotir hands to start things swinging for a long-to-bo-remcnibered 1938, H. E. W., An Interested Citizen, P.S.—I am sure the Editor of this paper would give further space to a discussion of this subject. IU!i.■ - ■ ■ n’Jiifc'ihi’liAliiiHt . J&A.'
