We welcome Mr. Craisi' to journalism in Grey County and wish hiini the best of success. le was with regret that we learned the editor of The Standard since 1945, Jack Colgan. had to retire on account of ilKhealth. Jack had not had the liest of health for the past couple o! years and while he was away Mrs. Coigan carried on in an able manner. The former owner took over on the death of his father, the late A. E. Crlgan. in January, 1945, and ha.i previously been associated wiVn liini at M'arkdale for over 20 years. Thu editor of The .Advance h;ld c.T'iyed the associations with the Colsran family during that time and our b-sr wishes go with Jack on a complete return to good health.
