A son, Willem emigrated to Canada in 1948. Two years, later he returned to Holland to join the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. A. Vellinga on their Silver (25) An- niversary. He then convinced his family to emigrate to Canada. The Vellingas arrived in Glen- coe, March 25, 1951 and started 'farming there. From there they moved to Thedford, Crediton, Kincardine and Kippen and have farmed ever since they arrived in Canada, They have six children,,Lieuwe, Willem, Tina, Wijtske, Aafke and Griet and 29 grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Vellinga are devoted members of Bethel Reformed Church. Mr, Vellinga has served as an elder on the board, and Mrs. Vellinga has played the church organ for many years, A supper for the family and relatives was held and also a social in the basement of the church, A total of 150 people were in attendance. Congratulations and best wishes were extended to Mr. and Mrs. A. Vellinga from Premier Davis, Robert Stanfield, Consul \ General Tjaardsma from the Netherlands, R. E. McKinley M.P., Jack Riddel M.P.P, 50th wedding Anniversary Happiness means different things to different people. To children, happiness is a fresh snowfall, a steep hill near theirlhouseand a newtoboggan. If enough snow falls to cancel school, for a day or two, that's ecstasy. \Snowniobilers of all ages also welcome the wintry weather. To them, happiness is miles of snow- packed trails, To skiers, happiness means an exhilarating glide down a mountain slope, and at the bot- tom of the hill, a warm fireplace inside a cozy lodge. For armchair sports fans, happiness p is watching your favourite team win a cham- pionship. If you're a Toronto Maple Leaf hockey fan, as I am, jubilation occurs each time the Leafs win a garhe. Canadians derive happiness from the efforts of athletes, who represent our country in world competitions. Of course, we admire their talent and skill, but we appreciate their sport- smanship as well. To fathers, happiness is playing with the new train set they gave their sons for Christ- mas. For mothers, happiness arrives at the end of the Christmas, mid- winter and summer holidays. Each morning Sesame Street offers an hour of relief to many weary mothers. Meanwhile, for teachers and students, happiness chimes with the four o'clock bell. For sleepy-heads, happiness comes when we crawl into bed late Friday night; then we realize we don't have to set the alarm. On Saturday morning, we loll under the warth covers as long as we please. We feel no guilt, only lazy contentment. Spring sparks happy notions in almost everyone. As the earth Let Us Hear - I.. From You!

NAME OF NEWLYWEDS ADDRESS DATE MARRIED SIGNATURE Zte exeferV,iines-Abuocafe Box 850g5xmi Ontario wakens from its winter hiber- nation so do we cold-blooded humans, Most homemakers welcome the warm weather in spite of the prospects of spring housecleaning. To nature lovers, happiness is sunshine, green grass, tall trees, birds' songs and wild creatures drinking undisturbed from a clear brook. To animal lovers, happiness is a "no hunting" sign. Other posters provide hap- piness for some individuals, A "no smoking" sign prompts sighs of relief from non-smokers. To shoppers, an empty parking spot in front of the store, in which we wish to shop, brings hap- piness. If the parallel parking area contains space for two cars, we are assured of triumph, We receive an extra bonus when we stop beside a meter in which some time remains. Happiness means different things to different people, but most of us agree on a few definitions. For example, happiness in- volves setting personal goals and reaching them. We then discover more excitement and challenges await us. When we feel con- tentment in' our lives, we ex- perience happiness. Happiness results from sharing. Although we enjoy our good fortune, it lacks significance until we share it with someone. Happiness is asking for a favour, confident the request will be granted. Repaying the favour adds merit to our self-esteem. Happiness is having a friend, but being a friend also brings satisfaction. Happiness means having someone we can talk to. If we listen as well as we chatter we feel worthy of friendship and trust. Caring for others and knowing that others care for us is the basis of happiness.

Sugar is still the best and most economical all round sweetener according to Food Advisory Services of Agriculture Canada. However, they do have some suggestions for sugar substitutes, and some sugar saving recipes. Honey can be used to replace sugar for cooking and baking. Substitute one cup of honey for one cup of sugar and reduce the liquid by one-quarter cup. In a • plain cake recipe, replace only one half the sugar with honey. Since some baked goods made with honey brown more quickly than those made with sugar, use a slightly lower oven tem- perature, One advantage of using honey is that it helps retain moisture in baked products, But at present prices, honey won't provide stiff competition for sugar. Corn syrup is a product' of cornstarch, used commonly in sauces, candies, frostings, frozen desserts, punches, marinades and glazes for meat, fruit and vegetables. Using this syrup instead of sugar for baking won't save you money. Corn syrup is only half as sweet as sugar and so you will need double the quantity, making it less economical than sugar. Molasses is a good buy when it comes to sweeteners but the strong flavor of this sugar by- product prohibits its use in many recipes. To replace one cup sugar, use one cup molasses plus 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and cut the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup. For best results, substitute only half the amount of sugar called for in the recipe. Since honey, corn syrup molasses are all liquid sweeteners, they require special handling. For easier pouring, measure these syrups in an oiled measuring cup, unless the syrup is to be added to beaten egg whites. Synthetic sweeteners can replace sugar as a sweetener in beverages although it's best not to overdo it. These sweeteners, however, are not considered sugar substitutes in baking because they don't provide the bulk and texture of true sugars in baked goods. Saccharin should not be used in baking as it results in a bitter product. There's no saying in using brown sugar or icing sugar in place of white sugar, However, you can make use of any you have on hand. Icing sugar can't be substituted for sugar in baking satisfactorily. Instead use it for frostings or dustings on pastries. Brown sugar can replace white sugar on a cup for cup basis in baking and cooking. To measure accurately, pack brown sugar lightly into a cup so that it holds its shape when turned out, Here are two recipes using small amounts of sugar, developed by Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada, These tasty recipes are not only sugar saving but also money saving. Sugar has been removed from the filling of the original "Oatmeal Date Bars" recipe to provide this less expensive version. You might try removing the sugar from similar fillings, since most dried fruits provide sufficient sweetness. The "Apple Gingerbread Upside Down Cake" is a sugar saver because, unlike most cakes, icing is not required. cup sugar. Beat in egg and molasses. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with boiling water to creamed mixture. Beat until smooth. Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in 8-inch square pan. Stir in 1/3 cup sugar and arrange apples on top. Pour batter over apples. Bake at 325 F until cake springs back when pressed lightly (about 35 minutes). Cool 5 minutes then turn onto serving dish.
