Smith-Cowan The marriage took place Satur­ day, August 30th, at 4:30 p.m., at Main Street United Church parson­ age, Exeter, of Beth Elaine, eldest daughter of Mrs. Hannah Cowan, of Exeter, and the late Leith Cowan, of Montague, Prince Ed­ ward 'Island, and John William, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Smith, Zurich. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Harry J. Mahoney, B.D., pastor of the church. The bride looked very win­ some in a street-length crepe with silver trimming, navy halo hat and navy accessories. She was attended by her sister, Miss Frances Cowan, of London, who looked charming in rose wool with black accessories and corsage of Better Times roses. The bride’s corsage was of pink sweetheart roses, and her only or­ nament was a gold locket and chain, the gift of the groom. Mr, Harry Smith, brother of the groom, performed the duties of best man. Following the ceremony a recep­ tion was held for the immediate members of both families, at Hen­ sail, at the lovely home of Mrs. Flora Consitt, paternal grand­ mother of the groom. A profusion of cut flowers adorned the rooms and in the dining room, the table was tastefully decorated with pink and white streamers, pink and white flowers and white candles. The table was centered with a three-tiered wedding cake, with miniature figures of a bride and groom on top. The toast to the bride and groom was propsed by Mr. I. C. Cowan, brother of the bride, and was fittingly °responded to by the groom. The bride’s moth­ er wore navy crepe with corsage of pink and White snapdragons. The groom’s mother was gowned in black sheer and her corsage was of pink sweetpeas. Mrs. Consitt wore black crepe with a corsage of pink sweet peas while Mrs. Broderick, of Exeter, the groom’s maternal grandmother, wore tur­ quoise blue, with corsage of mixed snapdragon. Immediately following the' reception, the bride and groom left for Toronto on a short wed­ ding trip and on their return will reside at Hensall.

The loss is partially covered by insur­ ance. The fire removed one of the old­ est landmarks in this vacation sort, the building having been ected 80 years ago.

Any spirited young man has no fear for the future. He’s determined to “get some place” and earn a good income. That’s as it should be. But experience shows that the men who have built up estates on the firmest foundation are those who steadfastly invested part of each year’s earnings in life insurance. For years they and. their dependents have enjoyed the peace of mind that comes from financial security. Mortgages have been paid off and children educated. Now these men are taking life easy. What of yourself? What do you plan to be worth in 1977? Write for our booklet “Retiring in Comfort”. It tells how much you YOU ll$URE need to kivest each year to get the retirement income you desire. , Confederation Life HEAD OFFICE AsSOCiatiOU TORONTO A. W.
