    1. [MEWASHIN-L] Thistle Mission Band Newspaper Clippings-20
    2. Alta Flynt
    3. This is another set of the newspaper clippings that are in the "Secretary's Minutes" book of the Thistle Mission Band of Marysville, New Brunswick. There was no date on the first one in the set today, but is probably 1931 or 1932 going by the dates on the other clippings. I hope this helps someone smash a brick wall.
