AND MRS. McPORTLAND On 'Friday evening the members and friends of Caven Presbyterian church lheld a reception in honour of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. McPortland, formerly Jean Stanbury. The bride, a member of the church, had been a member; of the choir, teacher in the Sunday School and president of the Young People’s (Society while living in Exeter. Miss Ethel Kydd, president of the Young People’s So­ ciety presided over the program. There was a sing song conducted by Miss Kathleen Strang; Mrs. (Rev!) Hill recited; a duet by the Misses Merna and Dorothy iSims, a solo by Mr. B. 'Cousins, recitation by Miss Betty Hogarth. Then the young people were called to the platform. Miss Kathleen Strang expressed on behalf of the members and friends present best wishes for their future life and spoke of Mrs. McPortland’s active work in the church. Miss Alma Brown then presented the couple with a lamp. Following the (presentation contests and games were enjoyed followed by refresh­ ments. Mrs. J. Gr. Stanbury, of St. Catharines, mother of the bride, was present at ^he reception. Miss Jennette Taman, nurse-in- j training at the Montreal General (Hospital, had a real thrill last week when she was presented to their Imperial Highnesses Prince and Princess Chichibu, of Japan, who crossed Canada on their ,way to the coronation in England. Miss Ta­ man’s uncle, Jnspecor Harry Fowell of the R.C.N.W.M.P., Vancouver, ac­ companied their imperial Highnesses on a special Canadian National train At this request Miss Taman with a C.N.R. official boarded the train at Montreal where she was presented to the distinguished visitors and ac­ companied them from Montreal to the U. S. border. Miss Taman des­ cribes the visit in a letter to her parents, Mr, and Mrs. W. W. Taman; “Last Saturday afternoon I (receiv­ ed a telephone call from a gentle­ man at the C.N.R. inviting me to board the special train at 7:30 Monday night. I went to Miss Her­ sey (Head of'the nursing staff and an Exeter Old Girl) and she told me I could get off to go. .So' 7.30 saw me at the Bonaventure station in all my glory. A Mr. Tandeau- took me through the gates to the train., Of course, only officials were allow­ ed in. In a few minutes the brain arrived and I searched everywhere for a uniform but came upon a man in oivies who looked so much like Uncle Ed. I pounced on him at once. I was disappointed though that there was no uniform. I got on the train and met several Japanese, some with titles and some without, I took off my coat, then met several more and then the big moment arrived— I was piresented to Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Chichibu. (How’s that to tell my grandchildren if I ever have any) I was so excited and so scared I really do not remem­ ber what happened. (She told me how wonderful Uncle Harry had been to them, and how much she liked Canada, etc., and she really spoke English t surprisingly well. Then back I went and talked to a Mrs. Kennsleyside for some time. She was very charming as was her husband. Uncle Harry attended to his luggage and then we started. I went as far as St. Armond, the American border, where Uncle Har­ ry, two mo unties, a corporal and a constable and myself got off and motored back to Montreal. What a' ride. About sixty miles I think over roads -covered with water and through rain that was almost blind­ ing. However we had a grand talk and Uncle Harry told me a great deal about my ancestors, something that I was' naturally interested in. We got back a little after midnight. Uncle Harry went to Ottawa from here, then to Toronto and he says he wants to go to Exeter.” SOUTH HURON MINISTERS The April meeting of the South Huron Ministerial Association was held at the home of Rev. J. W. Pen­ rose, Elimville. The paper for the afternoon was in charge of Rev. D. C. Hill, of Exeter, who, dealt with the subject, '“Religion and the Mod­ ern .State,” emphasizing the conflict which has existed in the past be­ tween. the church and the state, and pointing out how this conflict was still apparent in the world today, making specific reference to the situation in Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain. At the conclusion of the business Mrs. Penrose served a delightful lunch. PREVENTS SERIOUS FIRE Prompt action by Mrs. Oliver, matron of the Children’s Shelter at Goderich, who, on smelling smoke in the upstairs of that institution about 10 o’clock at night saved what might have proved a serious fire. Smoke was belching up the rear' staircase when Mrs. Oliver first ran 1 out of her room. She grabbed a fire extin.guis.her and rushing downstairs single handed put out flames which enveloped the woodbox, filled with kindling wood. 'Six wards of the Shelter, asleep on the upper floor, were not awakened. It is not known how the fire got its start. LAID TO REST The funeral of the late Mirs. J. A.

F. Hepburn near St. Thomas. In the absence of the Prime Minister, who was unable to be present owing to the strike at Oshawa, the visitors were most gra­ ciously received by Mrs. Hepburn. Mr. Hepburn’s farm consists of 1200 acres. His horses, a dozen or more show teams were paraded for the -visitors, A visit was made to the onion and potato storehouse. Mr. Hepburn this year will -have forty acres sown to Spanish onions on re­ deemed swamp land admirably adapted for the growing of same, He intends planting twenty acres of po­ tatoes, He has an excellent herd of about seventy head of Holstein cuttie mostly cow's, the milking all done by hand, The milk is separated, the skim milk being fed to the calves and pigs. Horses, cattle and Pigs are all housed in separate buildings. Following an inspection of the buildings and stock the men of the party joined the ladies in the house and a most delightful buffet dinner was served to the ninety persons present. Following the dinner the thanks of the association was ten­ dered to Mrs. Hepburn by the presi­ dent, Mt. H. E, Rice, of Huntsville, and a beautiful bouquet of Dale’s autographed roses wras presented by Mrs. Dobbie, of Smith’s Falls. Mrs. Hepburn in a happy manner ex­ pressed her appreciation of the gift and her regret at the inability of Mr. Hepburn to be present. Hon. Duncan Marshall, who had -conduct­ ed the party around the buildings, also made a short speech. The edit­ or of the Times-Advocate was ac­ companied to St. Thomas by Mrs. Southcott, Robert and Florence and the day was one long to' be remem­ bered.
