R. 4, Waterford, as ,the first woman director of folk school activities in Ontario. Eleanor Saracuse is a young lady with several firsts to her credit. Two years ago she enjoyed the distinction of being the first girl president of the Junior Farm- ers' Association of Ontario. In that capacity she was honoured with an introduction to the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, during the roy- al tour of Canada. Last year Eleanor was one of the first two girls elected to rep- resent Ontario Junior Farmers in Great Britain, touring England and Scotland observing their farming methods and their way of life. Since that time she has giv- en illustrated talks to various or- ganizations reaching some 2,500 people. Eleanor has completed 11 Home- making Club units and acted as leader for nine units. Her other activities include church Young People work, Simcoe Little Theat- re,, Norfolk County Junior Farm- ers' Chair, and Junior Director of the county fair. Keenly interested in social re- creation and community singing, Eleanor is admirably qualified to assist county committees in organ- izing local. Folk Schools. 0 Crop Report "The harvest is proceeding rap- idly throughout the county and most of the fall wheat harvest is completed," H. R. Baker, assistant agricultural representative for Hu- ron County, reports. "A large percentage of spring grain also is cut and much of it is in the stook. Last Tuesday's rain lodged a con- siderable amount of the spring grain crop, but indications are that most fields can be harvested. "Corn and soybeans have grown rapidly this past week and with good weather should be quite pro- ductive. Recent rains have increas- ed pasture and second -cut hay is showing excellent growth." o Canada's population increase in the 12 months preceding March 1, 1953, was 376,000 bringing the total to 14,692,000.

Parker, Baylield, Marks 95th Birthday brother Thomasl to Presby- terian r a Pr - y terian minister in North Dakota), was groomsman. The wedding re- ception and dinner was held at the bride's home (the present Sam Hohner residence). Although it ,poured rain all day the bridal couple went for a drive. For several years they lived at the bride's home and on rented places before going to their own home on the front road in 1893. They lived here until 1916 when they retired to their house on Louisa Street, Mr. Parker died August 21, 1939, and Mrs. Parker continued to reside in her own home, her daughter, Mrs. R. Lar- son and family coming from West- ern Canada to live with her. Mrs. Parker has a brother, Wel- lington Johnston, aged 87, who lives in Nekoma, N.D. She has been blessed in having all her nine children, who on many occasions through the years have been re- united with her. They are: Percy, Nekoma, N.D.; Christopher, Var- na; Clara (Mrs. E. A. Feather- ston); John W. and Margaret (Mrs. R. Larson); Louise (Mrs. Harold King), Sarnia; Belle (Mrs. George Reid) Varna; Beulah (Mrs. Leonard B. Smith) London; and William E. Parker, Bayfield. She is also beloved by 25 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren, and is "Atih' t Kate" to a number of nieces and nephews. (By our Bayfield correspondent) Congratulations and best wishes go to Bayfield's grand old lady, Mrs. Charles W. Parker, who on August 13 marks here 95th birth- day, She will spend it quietly with her daughter, Mrs, E. A. Feather- ston, to whom she went on Sunday evening for a three weeks' visit. No special celebration is planned but Mrs. Parker is always happy to have callers. And although she is frail, she is still the old-time giacious hostess, looking after the comfort of her guests and desiring to, serve them a cup of tea. The years have not changed her erect dignified carriage. Mrs. Parker has seen the country change from the hardships of pioneering to the lush comfort of the present day in this community. She was the ninth child in a fam- ily of six boys and five girls born to the late Christopher Johnston and Catherine Erwin who lived at the time in a log house off the sideroad on the farm owned by Sam Hohner. As a small girl she remembers the front field at Mars- ville (then the Dr. Woods farm), being solid bush back to the lake - shore road, and she recalls the maple -sugar making of those days. Perhaps what worries Grandma Parker most is to see the scanty clothing on the babies of this gen- eration—especially bare legs in the winter time. In her day, small babies were always clothed in long baricoats which were neatly wrap- ped around -the infants' limbs to keep them free from cold and draughts. Mrs. Parker is probably the only person living who was baptized by the first rector of Trinity Church, the Rev. Robert Francis Camp- bell, and the baptism of her twin sisters, Elizabeth and Jane is the first recorded 'in Trinity Church register. On December 22, 1881, ,Cather- ine Johnston was married to Charles W. Parker, son of Thomas Parker and Louise Schneiding, Bayfield. The ceremony took place about noon in Trinity Church, per- formed by the rector, the Rev. Robert McCosh, The bride wore a dress of plum coloured cashmere trimmed with matching silk, a white plush hat trimmed with a white ostrich plume and plum col- oured ribbon, and white gloves. Her. sister Isabella Johnston (the late Mrs. Thomas Parker, Naicam, Sask.), was bridesmaid and her Ted Turner The funeral service for the late Ted Turner, 20 -year old son of Mr, and Mrs. Robert Turner was held on Tuesday, and was largely attended. His untimely death was a niatter of deep regret and sorrow to the whole community. In the absence of Rev. C. C. Wash- irgton the srevice was conducted by Rev. Harold Snell, Exeter. Pallbearers were Donald King, Bill Seers, Glenn Yungblut, Brian Hallam, Sandy Andrews and Jim Buchanan. A wealth of floral tributes was carried by Archie Robinson, Dave Harman, Dick McWhinney, Norman Griffis, Drew Fowler, Edgar Alien, Thomas Turner, Jim Turner, Ivan Turner, Jack Duckworth and Leonard Har- man, all of whom were uncles and cousins. Interment was in Ball's Cemetery. 41111111.1111111.111111111101141.11111=# tirs. McMurray Discusses Little Things that Count At 'Ontario Street WMS The August meeting pf the Woman's Missionary Society of Ontario Street United Church was held at the home of Mrs. W.

Wiltse read a very helpful papery "In life it is the small things that create difficulties, not the large ones. Our attitude is what helps solve them and a proper attitude should be taken.
