Mrs. Barton recalled the
forerunner 'of the Banner's
Atwood Page, the village's
own newspaper, The Atwood
Bee.
"The first issue of The Bee
was printed on Jan. 17, 1890.
In,y that issue theeditor
wrote:
"We make a bow to the
people of Atwood and
surrounding district. Our
object is to present the local
and district happenings in a
concise, correct and
readable . form, to boom
Atwood and the interests of
the section in general, and
last but not least, to secure
enough of the needful to pay
our way and to put a dollar or
so away for a rainy day.
"We don't want our
patrons to imagine that the
Atwood Bee is suggestive of
sting. We rather desire that
it may cause a hum in the
district and be the means of
fetching honey to more than
one hive."
Mrs: Barton noted The Bee
amalgamated with The
Banner in the 1920s. Her own
happy association --with The
Banner concluded with her
retirement at the end of 1980.
In congratulating Mrs.
Barton, Banner editor
Mario Duke remarked,
"Carrie has done a
remarkable job for both The
Banner and her village; in
fact she has done her job so
well it seems no one else
wants to take it on. After
contacting over 20 people,. we
have still to find a suc-
cessor."
Sharing in her achieve-
ment were Mrs. Barton's
husband Lloyd, her son
Bruce who is a Mount Forest.

Janette and son-in-law Don
Fallis of Mississauga.
