S. ROBERTSON BY REV. I A. M. NICHOLSON WEDDING BELLS A PREPOSTEROUS PROPOSAL BADGER—KILPATRICK The United Church, Hanley, Sask., was the scene of a pretty July wedd­ ing, when Miss Margaret Kilpatrick,; eldest daughter of Mrs. L. Kilpatrick and the late John Kilpatrick, was uni­ ted in marriage to Mr. Ronald K. H. Badger, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Bad­ ger of Sutherland. Bey. S. A. Clare dfficiated.Thebridewasgiven—in­ marriage by her uncle, W. R. Tre- leaven of Broderick. During the sign­ ing of the register, Miss Dorothy Kilpatrick, sister of the bride, sang very effectively “I love you truly.” Miss Mabel Badger, played the wedd­ ing music (Loghergrin), Miss'Gladys Kastner of Saskatoon, attended as. bridesmaid. Dolores Bird was flower girl' and Mir. Re^- Badger acted as best man. : After the ceremony, a reception | was held at the home of Mrs. L. Kil­ patrick. The happy couple left for an extended honeymoon < to Vancouver, Victoria, and other western points; On their return they will make their home-in-Saskatoon.- y.------- (Continued from Last Week) COMING TO ASHFIELD ___On . son arrived at Kingsbridge.with ‘Lord ^Aberdeen”. On May 1st, the neigh­ bours went to church with cutters and sleighs. Seeding was well under way arid crops were n°t adversely affected in spite of the late snbw. Mt. Robertson, made his headquar­ ters at the Pag^n 4 home for five- ' years, after which he bought .-the; Curran and Smith farms. In .1880 he was married to Mary McAllister of Clinton. A year after their marriage,, his father-in-law broke his hip, so the Ashfield farm was rented to Wm. | McLean for .five years and they jwent to Clinton to operate the McAllister farm for three years. On returning to this district |they found that_ the ~Dryden farm 'wesTTf' Lucknow "Was- for sale. They bought it and operated. , it until 1912, when they’ moved to Lucknow to operate his present egg business. For twenty-four years he has dealt extensively in eggs. He has supplied the C. N. R. dining car ser­ vice with fresh eggs for twenty-five : years. . ■ ---- p..... , 7 Mi- Robertsonr token an active to tiie^t into an fatinsC^g interest in the Lucknow Agricultural Society for over fifty years. He and John Joynt are the only two living who have been recognized for their valuable services by being made h'On- , orary life 'members.’ A life-long Presbyterian, G-, S. Robertson has always loved his church. He made his first contribu­ tion to missions while working for Pagans in Ashfield. Mary Anne Scott and Mary Irwin called, canvassing' for .a missionary cause. G1 S. gave them twenty-five cents. . It was more than they had received all day. They had some coppers and nickles, but less than a quarter altogether. When the Laneys Church was built Mr. Lane was the only farmer who bad a dear title to his farm, so he was the only person who could donate a'site, , -r A well to do farmer was canvassed for a ^contribution. “You didn’t go ■ to the Book for guidance. You have put the Church iff a hollow rather than on a hill.” So he felt - justified in refusing to support the Kjrk. Mr. Robertson was a manager of the chutch at Lanes, before moving to the boundary and joining the Luc­ know congregation. When plans were discussed in connection with 'building the present Presbyterian Church in Lucknow, there were two sites under consideration, where the Carnegie Hall and Mrs. Geo. Aitchison’s house now stand. The meeting decided, in ,favour of the latter and elected Jas. Baird, Alex Patterson and P. H. Mc- 7\Kenzie to represent one branch of tne uniting -churches and Wm.

A congregational meeting was called arid the commit­ tee’s action was approved. A btulding committee was elected consisting of P. H. MaeKenzie, G. S. Robertson. Malcolm McDonald.

Drivers, according to the Highway Traffic Act, intending to H .a'4 m. ‘a ’ '■ • t-A. 7 highway, shall approach such inter­ section as closely as practicable to the centre'Jifie <rf the highway and the left turn shall be made by pass­ ing to the right of such centre line where it enters the intersection and upon leaving the intersection by passing > to the right of the centre line of tiie highway then entered. Before turning7to the left the driver should first see that he can do so safely, by looking forward and to the rear through his mirror, and'if the operation of any vehicle may be affected by such movement, should give a signal to the operators of other vehicles of his intention. The above practise applies to entering driveways on the left. .Draft stick out your hand and tarn left without seeing that there is no one about to pass you. Many people accustom­ ed to hauling long loads swing to the right side of the road before turning to the left and without seeing that no one is in the rear. The driver of the vehicle behind may think yon- are giving him a good chance to pass. , • In making a right hand turn, keep as, closely as possible to. the right hand side of fhe toad, and do not first swing , to the centre of the toad as some apparently think necessary. (Editorial In Toronto Daily Star) Bruce county council has become alarmed by the . increasing cost of indigent patients in hospitals which was, for that county, less than ?3,000- in 1927 and practically $14,500 in 1935. In Toronto ■‘the cost to the mun- iipality has grown in the same per­ iod from $720,000 to nearly $1,400,000 in addition1 to hospital deficits paid by the city and incurred through the insufficiency of its regular payments to meet the cost of accommodating city order patients, ' • In Bruce,, a special committee has been studying the situation and, ac­ cording to the Tara Leader, “one of the debatable clauses of its report was a recommendation that the local municipalities publish once a year in the local newspaper hud in their financial statement a list of the names of all those who have received assistance as indigent patients dur­ ing the year.” The Leader refers to this as. an objectionable ''policy. The adjective is too mild. There may be “hospital ch^ts’’justasrthere“are^^^^-“ cheats’*, but the thing to do is to punish (or at any rate collect ^from) the guilty, not to punish the inno­ cent.by publishing their names’. The' actipn proposed in Bruce would not only involve mental anguish for those who are impoverished through no fault of their own, but would dis- courage vrorthy- -people -from asking for the hospitalization which they need, but . cannot afford. And that would -indeed be unfortunate. It is important -for the health of the com­ munity that those who require hos­ pital treatment, Should get it without delay in the early stages of their disease. , Too many people fail to take into, account the psychological aspect of poverty;., fail to recognize how sen­ sitive a family may be about having its misfortunes made known;.fail to distinguish between the worthy poor and the minority whose bona-.’fides may be doubted. It is terrible enough to have lost all without having the calamity spread upon the pages of a newspaper' and a financial statement. Such a course would be destructive to self-respect; would tend to annihi­ late tiie .very pride in being an inde­ pendent famfly unit which must be preserved if families are to make the aaximuin effort to regain the inde­ pendence which they once enjoyed.
