a rebuff from Ministry of Transport and Communications,
Blyth council moved Monday night to push ahead with their
attempt to gain_a license issuing office for Blyth. - A Blyth
native who became something of a celebrity across the
province died recently in Kitchener. A. H.Wilford, who was
born in Blyth on March 16, 1887 and became known as the

turnip and it doesn't grow in Durham County, Mr. Wilford
said the name was interesting so he used it and it earned him
the title, King of the Rutabagas. •
