On The Map This weekend every house­ hold will receive a street map of the valley-the first ever distributed.

It will come today free-and with the compliments of the Progressive Association.

The map, drawn by the ex­ ecutive member, Mr. B. H. Wren , shows the valley as people are fam iliar with it-upside down-north to the bottom.

Because of their fam iliarity to residents current road desig­ nations have been retained on tpe map.

The issue of the inap coin­ cides with today's house-to­ house membership drive by the association.

As last year the Scouts will be m akin g the calls as agents of the association. '.F'ootnote: In giving permis­ sion to the association to copy and publish the street map the Lands and Survey Department st ipulated that" (a) they get three free copies and (b) they have full rights to use the map in a national emergency.
