creation and community singing,

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.

extended to the hostess for her

Mrs. C W. 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.

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.
Van Egmond, on Tuesday after-
noon. The first vice-president,
Mrs. N. Carter presided and. Miss
Elva Wiltse was pianist.
The meeting opened with the
singing of a hymn, "He Liveth
Long Who Liveth Well", the

ing the Lord's Prayer in unison,
The worship service was con,
ducted by Mrs. A. J. McMurray,.

Him" was given.

on prayer, Mrs. Treleaven and
Miss E. Wiltse favoured with an
instrumental duet. Mrs. M.
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. In the
big things of life, religion is the
one thing that can cement hum-
anity". Reference was made to
prayer and its answer,
Two instrumentals on the piano
accordion were given by Mrs.
Van Egmond. The meeting closed
