The community is saddened by the number of deaths in our village, five in less than three weeks. BELMORE Mrs. Elmer Zinn and Mrs. N. Hun­ kin, who for the past five years have been contributing correspondence from the Belmore area, have found that the pressure of other duties has made it impossible for them to carry on this service during 1955. As a result the Advance-Times has no correspondent in this area at pre­ sent, and there has been no Belmore news for the past two weeks. The editor and staff would like to thank Mrs. Zinn and Mrs. Hunkin for the fine work they have done in re­ porting Belmore news during the past years. Their regret that our two able correspondents cannot continue the work will be shared by all mem­ bers of the community (and we are sure there are many) who followed the Belmore news hi this paper every wedk. Both Mrs. Zinn and Mrs, Hunkin have tried to find someone to take oVer the 'Belmore correspondence, but so far have not been successful. Al­ though the monetary rewards of a newspaper correspondent are not great, thh work is interesting, and is of very definite value to the commun­ ity about which the correspondent writes each week. It is a very sure method of keeping your own centre "on the map”, Anyone in Belmore district who would be interested Inrtaklng on this work is ASltdd td Contact the Advance- Times in Wingham, The telephone number Is 34.
