MacLeod who on Sun- day, March 8, quietly celebrated their 32n.d. wedding anniversary at a family dinner at which alltheir children, two daughters-in-law and little granddaughter were present: Mr. and Mrs, Robert MacLeod and little Cathy, London; Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm MacLeod, Clinton; John R„ and Misses Dorothy Ann and Margaret, at home, and Miss Janet MacLeod, London, The evening was a very happy one for all the members of the family. L. H. TD, (Louie) MacLeod serv- ed overseas in World War I with the 161st Battalion but it was af- ter he returned from overseas that he met the Scottish lassie from Stirling, who had emigrated to Canada in 1910, who was to be- come his wife, At the home of lois sister, Mrs. J. Brock, Port Dover, L. H, D. MacLeod was married to Miss Marjorie Russell, in a quiet cere- mony performed by the Presby- terian minister, the Rev. Mr. Rob- ertson, on the evening of March 8, 1921. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Brock. (Mr. Brock has since passed away). The following day "Louie" brought his bride to reside in his native village where he was engaged in fishing, and where they have continued to re- side. It was Mrs. MacLeod's first sight of Bayfield., She recalls that there was no snow on the ground. She thought then that it was the loveliest place shethad ever seer„ and the years have not changed her opinion. Through illness, "Louie" was forged to retire from the fishing industry a few years ago,. and Lake Huron lost the most skilful sailor on the east shore. If a boat were in distress,"Louie" it was wile braved the worst storms .to go to the rescue. He is well -versed in navigation and his knowledge of lake lore and marine matters is profound. He is widely known 10 these respects both by the many with whom he has come in con- tact, and those who have trade his acquaintance through Prof. Fred Landon's n o t e d boob, "Lake Huron." LONDESBORO Mrs. Olive Gaunt who has been quite sick for several weeks is now on the mend. We hope that site may soon be in her usual health. Mr. and Mrs, John Vincent, God- erich; 14Ir. and Mrs. Fred Toll, Auburn; Lorne Toll, Vancouver, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Adams on Sunday.

Holders of registex'ed trapline licenses finish muskrat trapping on the same dates in their respective trapping areas. Wise trappers check their trap - lines daily thus reducing the num- ber that escape and the time an animal suffers in the trap. If the weather remains this way during the remainder of the winter season, the muskrat trapping on the opening days should be almost perfect. Flood water should net be extreme due to the lack of frost, snow and ice, Some years trappers set out all the traps they own, only to have them frozen in the ice for some- times a week at a time. A fast thaw then raises the water several feet over their traps and they re- main there until the water recedes. If muskrat are caught in traps as the water rises, and remain there for several days, the fur slips from the hide and is wasted. 0 THURSDAY, MAR Bed Clover; Donald B Londesboro; James Mci w es Knight; Grant `Webste Bros.; Stuart Keyes.
