FISHING TimOUGH IOE IS GOOD AT BAYFIELD Fishing through the ice has been carried on successfully by Payfield fishermen. Puckers are plentiful and are being caughf in Quantities and- are bringing as high as 40 cents each. It is understood that the fishermen use nets in their opera­ tions, cutting channels in the ice.

W. E. Hemphill, of Hensall. Canon Quintin Warner officiated with Dr, F, T, Egener at the organ. The service was fully choral, The processional hymn, ‘'The Voice that Breathed O’er Eden,” was sung by thb vested choir immediately before the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin announced the arrival of the bridal party. White flowers against softly massed greenery, aud candeiabx’a holding white tapers outlining the chancel and gleaming softly in the sanctuary, made the effective set­ ting, snowy grant bridal aisle on a white carpet. James McHale attended the bride­ groom as best man, and the ushers who headed the bridal procession, were Joe Mitchell and Campbell Killoran, both of Toronto and Toxn King and A, Roberts of the Kent Regiment. Then, walking singly, came the bridesmaid, Miss Margar­ et Humphries, and one maid of honor, Miss Mary Hemphill, sis­ ter of the groom. Their lovely dress­ es, copies, in design, of the bridal gown, were of lyric rose taffeta, the hem lines sweeping in soft fulness to the floor, forming slight trains at the back. Tiny tucks moulded waist lines and elbow-length sleeves. Theii' small-brixnmed * Pompadoui' hats were of the same shimmering material with crisp veils in the love- , ly rose color falling to theii' shoul­ ders. Slippers matched theix* frocks and they carried roses in large coP onia! bouquets, centred with mauve sweet peas and fringed with mai­ denhair fern.

The voluminous veil of misty tulle was held with a braided tulle turban which covered the bride’s face and fell ovex’ the shoulders to form a filmy train beyond the crepe of the. gown. The bride .wore white sandals and carried a big shower bouquet^ of all-white roses, orcbids and sweet peas, the ribbons show­ ering to the hem. . 1 The Reception • The l'eception was held at the home of Col. and Mrs. Ingram on Dufferin avenue, London, where the bride’s table was graced with white sweet peas and roses in a soft pink shade were used in the drawing­ room.

OF EARLY DAYS ON S4th BIRTHDAY & the fa- He the Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Hesson, lifelong resident of Lucan cele­ brated her 84th birthday on Bun­ day, February 23, at the home of ’her brother and sister-in-law; Con­ stable Peter Butler, Lucan village, Mrs. Hessen is the oldest native of Lucan -living, having -been born in the municipality on February 23, 1357, Her parents were Mr. and Mrs, Peter Butler, Sr„ well-known pioneer residents of the commun­ ity, She recalls the time when the land which is now the village site was one large farm owned by her grandfather, the original Peter But­ ler. The latter was horn in Southern States where he was miliar with slavery conditions, eventually became a sailor on Great Lakes and finally located in Biddulph with his family about 1832. Long a prominent figure, in the Wilberforce Settlement and inn­ can Village, his knowledge of medi­ cine and skill with herbs won for him the sobriquet of “Dk” Butler. Mrs. Hesson said that Lucan’s boom period began after the Grand Trubk railway had been built through this area. A number of discharged Prussian army veterans were employed in its construction and when competed the road en­ abled immigrants to come in and settle more readily. Recalling the day on which the first train came through the village, she said that everyone rushed out to see the great ‘'iron horse" as soon as they heard the whistle blow. In speaking of her childhood days, Mrs. Hesson declared that horses were scarce in the vicinity of Lucan, oxen being the main motive power in tilling the land. Plowing the newly-broken ground was always a great problem. For harrowing they used a wooden V- Shaped drag. Vegetables grew lux­ uriously in the rich soil and Mrs. Hesson remembers having seen po­ tatoes grown so large that they could be piled in the gatherer’s arms like blocks of wood. In the settlement days -of Lucan, the road between the village and London was scarcely more than a -trail through the bush. When the fact is considered that travelers us­ ed to carry axes to cut away trees that had blown across the path, the constrast with the pavements and automobiles of today is striking. To observe 10 teams of oxen carrying grain to London over the bush trail was a familiar sight in the early days. Referring, to the home life of her childhood, Mrs. Hesson remarked that stoves were then unthought-o£. The open fireplace, in which large chunks of logs were burned, was used for cooking, baking, heating and even for lighting purposes. Candle? were a luxury in these far­ away days. Mrs. Hesson was married in 1878 and. lived for a great many years In Stratford- Following her hus­ band’s death, she returned to Bu­ san and has made her home with her brother, Feter Butler, fox* flip past seven years. The latter, who is in his 81st year, is a well-known citizen of the 'community* having farmed there for several decades and he has also been a membex1 of the provincial constabulary fox* the past 58 years. In spite of her advanced age, Mrs, Hesson ” enjoys good health and takes an active Interest In pre­ sent-day happenings. She expresses devotion to both the United States and Canada—-the one which gave her ancestors freedom and the other which has been hex* homo for so many years-—in the prayerful words: “Go4 Bless Ameri­ ca and the Maple Leaf Forever MISS CANADA TAKES A WALK * $ $ It fell on a winter’s day Miss Canada, feeling gay, • In sable coat to make a friendly call; With dainty shoes and hat, ’Round her throat a silk cravat; As airy as a fancy Christmas doll.

The frame two-storey home was completely’destroyed, the fire having started in the upstairs from overheated stovepipes around ! the noon hour. It had gained considerable head­ way before being discovered, mak­ ing it impossible for the aged couple to rescue very, many of their belongings. There was no insur­ ance on the residence.

They have gone to make their home with their son, Joseph Harris, The sideroad was blocked and there was little that helpers could do, because of the strong wind which fanned the flames.
