Methodist Church, Detroit, Mich., was the scene of f an all-white wedding WednesdaY1 evening, December 26, 1951, when Marion Wilma Sturdevant, dau- ghter of Mr.' and Mrs. Haven 1 Sturdevant, Three Mile Drive, became the bride of Normanl Arthur Sinclair, son of Rev. Ara thur and Mrs, Sinclair, Alex- andrine St., Windsor, formerly of Hensali Dr, E. Shurley Johnson per- formed .the double-ring cere- Mony, assisted by Rev. Arthur Sinclair. The bride, who was given in Marriage by her father, wore a gown of white taffeta with bodice and gauntlets of nylon net and lace. Her single-strand of pearls was a gift of the groom, and she carried a bouquet of white poin- settias. Jean Sturdevant was her sister's maid of honor and Gordon Hampton, of Sheby, Ohio, acted as best man. Marion Sherritt, of Letters to Editor GUN LICENCE REVENUE Editor, The News-Record DEAR SIR: Thinking , over so many acci- dents by trigger-happy hunters, the question arises, who gets the money that is collected for gun licences? There is a fund for accidents to cars, from which the victim bene- fits. But why does the gun lic- ence money not pay for the dam- age-the hunters do? Fgrmers of- ten lose cattle, men are shot, and not counting the suffering, they have hospital bills and hired help to pay. No wonder the signs, "No Tres- passing or Hunting" are becoming more plentiful. Where is the land on which the Goverzurfent gives permission to hunt? (Signed) —WONDERING Clinton, January 14, 1952 , ..„ . Hamilton, Ontario, Aster of the groorni and Mary Evans, Detroit, were bridesmaids.

The long-awaited standardization will commence immediately, according to Provin- dal Secretary Arthur Welsh, chairman of the Ontario Civil Defence Committee. A contract between the Ontario Govern- ment and the Empire Brass Mfg. -Co. Limited, London, has been signed under which a stancl=. and SiZe 21/2-inch fire hose coupling and mis- cellaneous fittings will be supplied for all municipal fire halls and incluStrial premises in the Province. Estiniated total cost of the conv• ersion to Standard couplings and fittings is about $900,- 000. By agreement with the Federal Govern- ment; the Ontario Government will pay two- thirds of the final cost and and ,the Federal Government one-third up to a maximum of $300,000. Ontario is the first Province in Can- ada to act upon this Federal agreement de- signed to strengthen Civil Defence organiza- tions. In addition tothe advantages in Civil De- fence preparation, the standardization program- me, when complete, will greatly increase mu- tual aid in fighting Serious fires by inter- change of firefighting equipment. Certain centres in Ontario, including the City of Torento—altogether about 20 per cent of municiefalities—alteacly are on the stand- ard which has been set. ConverSion will start immediately in •- munieipalities in York County, and then Peel County. When this has' been completed, con- ACCORDING TO LEGEND, the name Dominion, once used to describe Canada, came from the, eighth verse of the seventy-second psalm: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the end of the earth." The Latin version of the phrase "from sea to sea" is retained, perhaps temporarily, in out coat of arms, but "Dominion," thanks to Mr. St. Laurent and his colleagues, is on the way out, comments The Printed Word. It may be recalled that Dominion was an alternative to Kingdom, chosen because the Fathers of Confederation did not wish "to of- fend the United States. It is only within re- cent years that a term good enough for Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Georges Etienne Cartier has seemed to offend anyone. Nothing has been heard from Canada's •fellow-what- you-may-call-'em, Australia and New 'Zealand, who have a similar status to Canada's, to in- dicate that they are at all discontented-about being called a Commonwealth and a Dominion respectively. The effect of the change in the United HIGH LIGHTS of Prime Minister Chur- chill's state dinner spe.ech at Ottawa Monday evening: • * * The North Atlantic Treaty is the surest guarantee of victory should hopes for peace be blasted. * * * Peace "does not sit untroubled in her vine- yard," and no one can predict with certainty what will happen. * But this time at any rate "we are all united from the beginning." * * * Canada. the United States, Britain and Western Europe are united to defend the cause of freedom with all their strength. * g. 4: Britain does not want to live on "our friends and relations, but to earn our own living and pay our own way . . ."

The teams then will go into Northern Ontario to complete the con- version for the whole of the Province, There will be no cost to municipalities or industry when the ,field teams move in, al- though it is expected that labour will be made available by the municipalities, if necessary. The conversion programme will be under the direction of the Ontario Fire Marshal's of- fice with E. F. Bevis, Chief of the Fire Services Division, in charge. Other personnel of the Fire Marshal's office will be in charge of field teams. The Federal Government has pledged suf- ficient supplies of brass to complete the pit,- gramme and through the Department of Na- tional Defence, Army mobile work shops will be made available to the Provincial field teams in outlying areas, The Ontario Research Foundation will' provide the technical super- vision under terms of the contract with the Empire Brass Company. Salvage will be pur- chased by the Company at current prices. It is expected that the standardization pro- gramme will be completed during 1953. Pointing out the disadvantages of the present situation, Colonel Welsh said that there are 46 different types of connections antra lot of minor variations in fittings used by Ontario municipalities. "This has been, a serious draw- back to effective firefighting when one muni- cipality is called upon to aid another during a serious fire," Colonel, Welsh said. He pointed out that from Oshawa to Hamilton along Num- ber 2 Highway there are five different threads used in connecting equipment. He said U.S. border points are not on uniform hose threads "but as soon as Ontario is standardized the number of adapters necessary to work with U.S. firefighting equipment will be greatly reduced," As a result of standardization, the saving in costs to municipalities over about a ten- year period will offset the present expense, Colonel Welsh said. Kingdom is as yet unknown. Probably it will be unnoticed, for one of the endearing char- acteristics of the British is to ignore what seem to them minor differences of terminology. A few, after years of education, may now re- member not to call Canadians, Australians or New Zealanders colonials to their faces. It is a question whether' one in a thousand of their educated citizens, or one in ten thousand of the others, can understand why Canadians, Aust- ralians or New Zealanders should he offended by the term. They would be equally amazed at the resentment of a Virginian when he was called a Yankee. In the Commonwealth (formerly the Brit- ish Commonwealth) Canada's status is that of a nation. So is that of the Republic of Pakistan. There is, no more inconsistency in being both a Dominion and a nation than there is in being a republic and a nation, To some who have a sentimental attachment to the old term, it may seem that it makes a distinction (perhaps minor, in British eyes) between the status of Pakistan and that of Canada. The ordeal which lies before Britain "will, be hard and will not be short." * * "We shall not shrink from any measures necessary to restore confidence and maintain solvency, however unpopular these measures, may be." 4: * "We shall provide against and thus pre- vail over the dangers and problems of the fu- ture, withhold no sacrifice, grudge " no toil, seek no sordid gain, fear no foe." * * • A "magnificent future awaits Canada, if only we can all get through the present hideous world muddle. 4: * "Upon the whole surface of the globe there is no more spacious and splendid domain open to the activity and genius of free men, with one hand clasping in enduring friendship with the U.S., and the other spread across the ocean both to Britain and France."
