GOLDEN WEDDINGS
To celebrate a golden wedding is
an interesting event, but for
couples married on the same
in, the same municipality and
ried by the same minister to
brate their golden wedding in
same municipality is an event unique

Such was the experience of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Harvey and Mr. and
Mrs. William Fisher, of Exeter, on
Monday of this week.
On October 14th, 1885, the Rev.

the home of the bride’s parents, the
late Charles and Mrs. Perkin®. One
hour later at the home of the late
Samuel Sanders Dr, Pascoe united
in marriage Miss Annie Sanders and
Mr. William Fisher. Both of these
couples celebrated the happy event
over the week-end and received the
congratulations and well wishes of
many friends.

INCREASED MAJORITY
W. H. Golding, of Seaforth, who
was elected a member of parliament
in the by-election of 1932 by a ma
jority of 2013, was re-elected Mon
day his majority having been in
creased to 325 6 in the new riding
of Huron-Perth. Mr. Golding was
given a majority in every municipal
ity of the riding with the exception
of Exeter and here the Conservative
majority was reduced from 129 in
1932 to 59. Mr. Golding’s total vote
according to the best available re
turns is placed at 6264; Mr. Don
nelly’s at 30 0)8 and Mr. McMillan’s
at 1512. If these figures are cor
rect both Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Mc
Millan will lose their deposits.
The results of the election came
as a surprise as there seemed to be
a lack of interest among t’he voters.
The election campaign, however,
was clean throughout.
On Monday evening a big dem
onstration was staged, at Zurich
when representatives from all parts
of the riding gave a great reception
■to the newly-elected candidate, Mr.
Golding who thanked the electors
for the splendid' support given him.
Addresses were delivered from the: abled truck, crashed into a parked

' Mr. T. S. Woods, manager-
1 local branch of the Bank of
real is going on leave of absence at
the end of this month prior to re
tiring on pension. Mr. Woods’ re
tirement terminates an active bank
ing career of over 37 years, the last
16 of which has been spent in Exe
ter. Mr. Woods and daughter Miss
Marion are moving to London to re
side where another daughter, Miss
Kathryn, has a position. In May
1933 Mrs. Woods passed away and
her sudden demise cast a shadow of
gloom over the community as ehe
was held in the highest esteem. Mr.
Woods began his banking career with
the Molsons Bank in Montreal in
■1'898. He has been stationed at
branches in London, Hensail, West
Toronto, St. MaryS, Merlin, Dutton
and Exeter. His first appointment as
manager was of the Merlin branch.
In coming to Exeter Mr. Woods suc
ceeded Mr. W. D. Clarke. During
his residence here Mr. Woods has
identified himself with everything
pertaining to the best interests of the
municipality For many years he
has been treasurer of the Exeter Ag
ricultural .Society. He has won a
host of warm friend® the best wishes
of whom will follow .him for his fu
ture welfare. w
To succeed Mr. WToods, W. H.
Moise, of Tara, has been appointed.
Mr. Moise has had considerable ex
perience in managerial positions,
having received his first appointment
as manager in 1920, where he took
charge of the Chatsworth branch. He
has since held the same position at
Elgin, Stirling and Tara, Ont.
Mr. Moise was born and educated
at Lucknow, Ont., where he com
menced his banking career with the
former Molsons bank. This institut
ion was amalgamated with the Bank
of Montreal in 19 25 and Mr. Moise
tihen became a member of the staff
cf the latter bank. In this connec
tion it is interesting to note that the
Exeter branch of the Bank of Mont-
■?al is one of bhe offices that was
taken over in the amalgamation of
1925.
Mr. Moise has always found time
to interest himself in the activities
■'f the community. At Elgin he was
president of- the Athletic Association
ind the Leeds "County Hookey As
sociation; at -Stirling, secretary
treasurer of the Lawn Bowling Club;
d at Tara, president of the Hor
ticultural Society and Lawn Bowl
ing Club.
