WOODHAM COUPLE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS Fifty years ago next Monday Mar. 19, a well-known and highly respect­ ed couple of this district, were unit­ ed in the bonds of matrimony. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Geo. Watson, then pastor at' Woodham, and the contracting parties, were J. L. Routly, of Usborne and Miss Min­ nie Routly of the same township. Next Monday will mark the fiftieth anniversary of that happy occasion, though there will be no celebration owing to the present illness of the bride of fifty years ago. Mrs. Routley was born on a farm on Concession 10, Usborne, and though she has travelled a good deal in her life, has never resided more than three miles distant from her birthplace. Her parents, were the late Matthews and Elizabeth Routly respected pioneer residents of Us­ borne. Mr. Routley, whose parents were the late William and Susan Routley of St. Marys, was born in the Stone Town in 18158. As a small boy he attended the old Lodkl-up School on the present site of the C. P. R. rail­ way yards and later the old Central School. Hus first teacher was Miss Crittenden and he wae also taught by Miss IMoscrip. When J. L. was 8 years1 of age, the family removed: to the south-west boundary of Usborne Township. Only seven acres of the bush farm had been cleared and there was plenty of work to, do. Young J. L. wae ambitious and a hard worker. Following his marriage he rented a farm for seven years and then took over the old home­ stead, where he stayed for ten years. During that period he took a trip to the Old Land for a change and a rest. While over there be bought a very fine team of horses which lie brought home to sell in this country From the deal he made the expenses of the trip and a neat margin be­ sides. 'Thirty-two ago last Fall Mr. Routley gave up farming owing to poor health and since then he and Mrs. Routley have lived m their comfortable brick home in the vil­ lage of Woodham. Mr. Rouley has always taken an interest in everything that concerns the welfare of the community. When the Blanshard Telephone Co. was formed he whs one of the original directors and served for some years as treasurer. Kindly, sociable and good neighbors. MT. and Mrs. Routley are highly esteemed by all who know them. Though they have continued t'0 reside in the same neighborhood throughout their lives, Mr. and Mrs. Routley have travelled a bit from time to time. The former visited the Old Country in 188$. They at­ tended the fjamoufe Qolumblia Ex­ position in 1893, Fite years ago, in company with some friends, .Mr, and Mrs. James Robinson of .Science Hill, they spent an enjoyable winter in California. The Routleys are a happy and sociable pair, That iMrs. Routley’s health is not good at press­ ent is regretted by her many friends. (St. Marys Journal-Argus Didi you ever fcnow a more wearisome winter than the one that is just passing. ♦ ♦*♦*♦*♦ We do not credit the rumor that Mr, W. F. Nicfele, K.C., is to be offered a coronet. ******** These are the days when governments seem mighty keen to overload the willing ox. ******** 'Some people who are anxious to stand' on their own feet dearly love to use other peple’s toes under their shoes. ******** Who’s to be the first Marquis of Exeter! Who the first Lord of Farquhar? Who the first Sir Umpty of Crediton? ******** Thrift issues from independence of character and a determin­ ation to stand on one’s feet. We need a whole lot of it just now. ******** The man who is everlastingly trying to save his own skin is sure to find that nobody begrudges him either the skin or the job. ******** Cautious Sandy was heard saying the other day: "If some people are right in the head, I prefer to remain as I am and take chances.” ******** ■Some real huslers have made some excellent maple syrup. And right here a word to any inclined to make the 'phoney variety— don’t, if you are thinking of offering it for eale. ******** CO-OPERATION NEEDED Cautious Sandy gays it seldom pays to spend much time trying to get a hen to set unless the hen co-operates. ******** "Freedom,” says Mr, Stanley Baldwin, "means freedom to go on working.” Umm! and some people are talking about freedom of speech and of this and that! They had better cud on Mr. Baldwin’s remark! ******** We have no particular fault to find with the winter of 193-3- 34. It came too early, it stayed too long, it was too cold and too windy, with too much snow in the wrong places, with too little sun­ shine. Outside of these things the winter was- not so bad. ******** If you rise early, work hard all day, stay in o’ nights, keep good company, go to Sunday School, read good books-, mind your manners and save your money, you may find yourself offered a "toitle,” If that fails, run a bluff. ******** When I can win a "toitle” clear In some high umpty’s eyes, I’ll bid farewell to pork and- beans And live on pigeon pies. ********* ■Some recent business revelations tell a sordid story. Of course if madam is bound to have expensive bridge and other such lux­ uries, some innocent party must pay the price. Madam will see to it that the cash and the sweat necessary therefore do not come at her cost. Self-indulgence "hardens all within and petrifies the feeling.” ******** BUSY PADDY Paddy McGraw is not informed as to international relatione. He has been busy fattening and selling pigs and milking cows- and selling a few score bags of potatoes. Just now he is offering a few gallons of brand new maple syrup. -Odd days he’s cleaning up his seed grain. ******** ANY REASON Do you Ikmow of any sufficient reason for the establishment of a Central Bank oif Canada? We don’t. It’s- just possible that we are already over-banked. The existing banks of Canada have suc­ cessfully financed Canadian business both private and government­ al. Further there is no financial problem on the -Canadian busi­ ness horizon that existing Canadian banks cannot finance. Why heap an additional tax burden upon the backs of the loyal, liberal, patient tax-payers -of the Dominion? ******** THERE’S ANOTHER SIDE Literature dealing with the laying of the foundations of some of the big fortunes in the United States and with the history of the church Within the last 40 years oif the 19th century hae come our way during the last week. All in all, the story is a (Depressing one, Unbelievable meanness and sharp practice along with manipul­ ation of civil governments and execrable interference with the judiciary of the republic has been all too glaring in the story of the business life in high places. In the church there was a mis­ erable catering to those with cash to spend. One- laid down the records -of these times with a sore heart asking if there was noth­ ing in the business and church life of those days but greed' and cruelty and savagery plus civilization’s skill without its conscience. When this mood overtakes one he does well to remember that the bulk of the world’s business has been carried on by honest folk. The thieves and rogues are but parasites who can be got rid of by a public that will keep its wits about it. The folk who- have feept things healthy and progressive in the commonwealth have been folk who have given value for every dollar received and for every dollar accepted. There are churches that are well organed and pawed and communion tabled/ and heated and cooled and lighted and budgeted generally from the coffers of the heavy pursed. There are church members who sihg the psalms of David out of one side of their mouths, meanwhile industriously lying out Of the other side of that same mouth, the clergy obsequiously kow­ towing meanwhile as the management applauds, Yet no one is de­ ceived, The church’s work is carried on by the pure of heart and the clean of deed. A field of wheat ie valued because of its- wheat and not because of its chess—still less because of its- twitch grass and sow thistle and nightshade. If the misdeeds of business and the defects of the church would fill a volume, the story of the hero­ isms in both these activities would fill a library. These are the facte and- from these facts we draw courage. FORMER CREDITON RESIDENT PASSES Alfred J. Clark, well fenown Strat­ ford man and a traveller for G, L.

I tried several different kinds of medicine, but none seemed to help me until I took Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup.

With Starterator, you simply turn the ignition switch, press lightly on the accelerator pedal, and the engine starts. Stalling is abolished.
