At their home here on Monday, Mr,
and Mrs. John Stone celebrated the
50th anniversary of their wedding.
Many called to wish them congratu
lations and it was a very happy event
for this fine old couple. They are both,
enjoying very good health and the
wishes of their friends was that they
may so continue for many more years.
Mr. Stone, a veteran of the South
African war, was married to Eliza
beth Amos at Norwich, England
October 20th, 1891. In 1911 they came
to Canada and have lived in Wingham
since that time. Mr. Stone carried on
his trade of stonemason until about
, three years ago when he retired. He
was born in Norwich and is now in
his 74th year.
Mrs. Stone is in her 73rd. year. She
was born at Cape Town, South Africa.
Her father was an army officer and
when he returned to England she then
met John Stone who later became her
husband.
They have two sons Richard of Kin
cardine, and Arthur of Wingham.
One daughter Elsie died in 1924. They
are very proud of their grandchildren,
John Stone who is with the R. C. O.
C. in England, Mrs. Carl (Elizabeth)
Palmer of Kincardine also Elmer and
Donald Stone of the same town.
On behalf of the people of this
community, we extend hearty congrat
ulations.
Large congregations were present
at St, Andrew's Presbyterian Church
on Sunday, the occasion being the
anniversary services. Autumn flowers
adorned the chancel of the church
making a lovely setting for this spec
ial annual event,
Preaching at both services was the
Rev. Charles S. Oke of Knox Presby
terian Church', Stratford. At the morn-
irjg service Mr. Oke chose for his
text the 35th and 36th verses of the
4th chapter of John “Say not ye,
There are yet four months, and then
cometh the harvest? Behold,' I say
unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look
on the fields; for they are white with
harvest. And he that reapeth re-
ceiveth wages, and gathereth fruit un
to life eternal: that both he that sow-
eth and he that reapeth may rejoice
together.” The .Scripture reading was
the 10th chapter of Luke.
Mr. Oke divided his sermon into
three parts, the Harvest, The Reapers
and the Wages. We reap that which
•we sow he said and he urged all to
sow the right kind of seed in the home
which is the unit of society. Our wages
he said no matter what else we receive
will be paid in the Life eternal.
At the evening service the Scripture
reading was taken from two books of
the bible, the 2nd. chapter of Zechar
iah and a portion of the 6th chapter
of Ephesians, from the tenth verse to
the end of the chapter. The 5th verse
of the 2nd chapter of Zechariah was
the text, “For I, saith the Lord, will
be unto her a wall of fire round about,
and will be the glory in the midst of
her.”
The anthem at the'morning service
was “Arm of the Lord” with Mrs.
Wm. Kennedy taking the solo part.
Mr. George E. Northwood rendered
the solo, “Beside the Still Water.”
The service of praise at the evening
service was led by the St, Andrew’s
Male Chorus of which Mr. Harold V.
Pym, the organist, is the leader. They
sang three selections, “The Lord is
My Shepherd,” “God be with you till
we meet again” and “Magnify Thy

MISSIONARY CIRCLE
MET THURSDAY
’ The monthly meeting of the Baptist
Young Women’s Mission Circle was
held on Thursday evening at the home
of Mrs. Jas. Stapleton. The meeting
opened with the hymn “Saviour Like
a Shepherd Lead Us” and prayer by
Mrs. M. Ball. The Scripture reading
was the fifth chapter of Romans and
was read by Reta Stapleton, An art
icle on the School at Penial Hall
Farm in Bolivia was presented by
Mrs, F. Collar,
(Mrs. Loney read a chapter of the
book “The Splendour of God” which
told df the arrival of the first mission
ary and his wife to Burma, India.
This was followed by a brief season
of prayer.
The topic for the evening was tak
en by Vivian MacLean and it dealt
chiefly with the uses and the spread
of the Bible in different lands,
. The meeting closed with the singing
of the hymn, "The Light of the World
is Jesus'* and prayer by Marie Kelly,
Lunch was served tfy the hostess
and sortie of the members
An enthusiastic gathering was held
in the Town Hall on Friday evening
to open the fall campaign in the in
terests of the sale of War Savings
Certificates, The meeting was spon
sored by the local War Savings
Committee of which Mr. Frank How-
son is chairman. Mr. Gordon Buchan
an, a member of the committee was
chairman for the evening.
Mayor J. Harley Crawford officially
set the campaign in motion with the
opening address. He informed the
audience that Wingham was not the
worst in comparison with the purchase
of War Savings Certificates, but the
sales here are not what had been
hoped for according to Mr. Wilson
the organizer for this district. In April
he said, Wingham. purchased $4,000 of
certificates so the objective of a
$3,000 Naval gun per month is not
too large. He gave three reasons for
purchasing War Savings Certificates,
to purchased the necessary war equip
ment, to guard against inflation and
they are a splendid investment.
Rev. E, O. Gallagher said the Nazi
monster- had been growing. If Russia
falls then Britain will be attacked.
In order that this must not happen
to protect Britain and the Empire we
must buy War Savings Certificates.
We used to say tiirte was on our side
but it is not today, he said- If vic
tory is to be achieved it must be done
at once before
army conflict
products and
effort must be
only man power but financial power
as well. We must offer all we can
that victory may be won that human
ity may be saved.
Mr. E. S. Copeland, another speaker
told of the bubble that burst after the
boom days before’1929 and how men
had walked the roads looking for jobs.
Our economic problem is very differ
ent today, employment is at a new
peak, there are many new war indust
ries. This means that men will go
from peace industries to war indus
tries. This is no time to raise our
standard of living while men are
fighting for us. We will not have any
thing if Hitler wins, so let us buy War
Savings Certificates to help beat him.
If we put our savings into War
Savings Certificates now this acts as
a bumper against depression later, it
is the surest way to beat Hitler and
the surest way to stop inflation. If
all would put 5% of their income into
War Savings .we would not have any
trouble raising the $3,000 for a Naval
gun each month. Send out your dol
lars in War Savings Certificates and
they will come marching back with
tax free interest and the boys will
come marching 'back with Victory.
, Mr. Frank Howson'urged all to
back up the committee and he explain
ed the duties of the various members
of the committee. During the past 8
months Wingham has averaged $2150
per month, A little extra effort will
put us over out objective, a Naval
Gun, valued at $3,000, every month.
He made a special appeal for regular
purchasing.

the society were on hand for this
