0111 PICTURES NEEDED
FOR PUBLICATION
i nn Cantelon, a long-time sub-
scriber to this paper, was interest-
ed in the 'picture of Winghs.rn's
main street in a recent issue, which
hadbeen unearthed by Elmer Wily
kinsOn." .M•r. Cantelon sayS there
are several features to help date
th'e'-picture, •
• sTiwroaciway is unpa,ved`and has
no curb$,,so it must have been• tak-
en:before 1913, when the street was
paVed. It was taken after 1692-93',
When" the Anglican Church was
built; 'and before 1907, when the
post' office was 'erected. In all
,probabilitY the date was around
1900,- give or take a few years, is
the 'conclusion drawn •by Mr. Can;
teldn: •
He auggests that it would be till
tereiting to publish a picture each
eeAc,h:from days gone by, which
w onlci bring back`inemories to the
older. generation 'arid -be of edu-
cational Value to' the younger read,
ers. - This; is an excellent sugges-
-HIM and The AdVande-Times would
be ples,sed to receive contributions
from time to time. It must bo
kept in. mind, however, that not
alt ,old''piteures will reproduce well
for• newspaper purposes) but we will

Scouting, like many other ;fine
projects, is often taken for granted.
It is, however, one of the most
vital bulwarks 'against the delin-
quency and juvenile -discontent
Which have spread like contagious
diseases in many other places.
Backing the Scouts and Cubs in
their appeal are their leaders,
Scoutmaster Alton Adams and
Cubmaster Bill Rintoul, as well as
the members of the Group Com-
mittee in Wingfia,m: In this latter
group Warren Callan is chairman;
DeWitt Miller, • vice-chairman;

mittee members are Ross Vogan,
