SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
A very pleasing event took place
recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Myron Culbert on their farm near
Lucan, when they celebrated their
twenty-ififth wedding anniversary.
All their family and immediate re-
ratives were present. The presents
were many and costly and indicated
the esteem in which the couple are
held in their own community. The
house was tastily decorated with
spring flowers. A very fine program
was provided by the guests, consist
ing of vocal and instrumental num
bers, readings and speeches, Rev, S.
J. Johnston acting as chairman. A
tribute was paid to Mr. and Mrs.
Culbert with special reference to his
position in Biddulph Township coun
cil and the place taken by them both
in the United church. Mr. Culbert
is an Elder and the Official Repre
sentative to Presbytery and Confer
ence. Mr, Culbert replied with a few
well chosen remarks. Mrs. Culbert
was formerly Miss Effie Taylor, of
Exeter and they were married by
the late Rev. Richard Hobbs of
James St. Methodist church on June
14th, 1911.

! They made a big splash. They had
the radio, they spent $30,000 on
their campaign, had a good time and
had the press all to themselves.
You can imagine why their leaders
wish an election now while the
I brightness remains and lest they be
(forgotten all too soon,” the attor
ney-general asserted.
Mr. Roebuck in passing, paid tri
bute to the Liberal policies of Mac
kenzie King which in less than a
year bad sent Canada’s trade bound
ing upward. Canada had sold $17,-
UOO.OOO worth of goods in May, 1936
more than in May of last year, and
had bought $5,000,000 more from
foreign countries.
Turning to provincial matters
the speaker iecalled how the prov
ince was going into debt at the rate
of $6,000,001) a month during the
Henry regime. In 193 5 the Hep-
: 1mm government had brought down
the deficit from $30,000,000 to $13,-
ooO.OOo, at the same time taking
care of $20,000,000 for direct re
lief.
Mr. Roebuck predicted that at
the end cf this year, the govern
ment would he able to show “an
a tual and honest” surplus of at
least $500,o 00, besides spending
$12.50o,000 on relief.
Hydro was being put on its feet,
as well, declared the government
; representative on the Hydro Com
mission. He predicted that the On-;
tario commission would reduce
Hydro’s debt hy a very considerable
sum, “perhaps $20,090,000 before the end* of the year.” Instead of
bon owing from the province, Hydro
will pay hack its debt and do its
own financing, he further announc
ed.
“In ten years, the entire debt
be refunded and we will do our
financing,” said Mr. Roebuck.
