The Weekly Times - TWT - 20 February 2019

The Weekly Times - TWT - cheekily describes itself as a campaigning, crusading, truth-seeking, death defying, Aussie battler-aligned, one-eyed-Tiger-led news organisation dedicated to Sydney's north west. It's one of the few remaining independently run community newspapers and turns 100 years old in 2021 - so if you want to show your support for independent media, have a quick look at the paper, submit a letter to the editor via its website or like or share one of its posts on social media.

NSW SENIORS FESTIVAL<br />

Ryde library a focus of seniors celebration<br />

A TALK on Ryde’s World War One house names will<br />

be held at the City of Ryde Library this Thursday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> talk will offer a<br />

glimpse into how these<br />

houses got their names<br />

and how they are linked to<br />

often personal stories, Local<br />

Studies Librarian Angela<br />

Phippen said.<br />

“I thought it would relate<br />

solely to battle names but<br />

very soon realised that<br />

ship names and personal<br />

names, such as the names<br />

of soldiers or famous generals<br />

such as Allenby were<br />

also attached to houses,”<br />

she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> ship names are interesting:<br />

widows some-<br />

ebration is being held in<br />

conjunction with the NSW<br />

times named their house<br />

provide seniors with the opportunity<br />

to learn about the<br />

their house after the ship<br />

that brought them home.”<br />
