MR. AND MRS. RUSSEL McALPINE
Couple celebrates
wedding anniversary
By JOYSCHEIEFELE
Saturday marked the 65th
wedding anniversary of Mr.
& Mrs. Russel McAlpine of
Ailsa Craig. The couple were
wed January 14, 1913, at the
home of the bride, the for
mer Annie-Belle Hutchison.
They were married by the
minister of the Ailsa Craig
United Church, the Rev.
Brown. Following the
wedding the couple took the
train for a honeymoon in
Detroit.
The couple farmed i
area on Concession
McGillivray after
wedding. Both have
roots in the area.
McAlpine was born on the
farm of his pioneer grand
father, Donald McAlpine
who came to this area from
Scotland in 1840. After set
tling in Lobo Township
grandfather Donald and his
wife Elizabeth moved to
McGillivray in 1850, and took
residence on Lot 21, con
cession 6 ECR where they
farmed until 1881 when
Grandfather Donald
McAlpine died.
Russel McAlpine’s father,
Neil, was one of 11 children
and he remained on the
family homestead. It was
here Russel was born and
farmed with his father until
the time of his marriage in
1913.
At the time of their
marriage Russel and his
bride moved to his father’s
other farm on Lot 21, Con
cession 5 ERC on Highway 7
on the west edge of town.
They farmed there for 33
years until moving into Ailsa
Craig in the spring of 1946.
Last year they, moved into
the Craigweil Gardens
senior citizens apartments.
The couple had three sons
and two daughters; Irwin
and Gordon of McGillivray
Township and Mrs. Ernie
(Helen) Hasket of London.

. Mr.
Enid (the former Mrs.
Langford Morgan) died in
1937, and son Donald died in
infancy. They have 12
grandchildren and 17 great
grandchildren.
When asked when he
retired from farming, Mr.
McAlpine brightly replied,
“I havent’t given up farming
yet.” He still maintains a
heard of 100 cattle on his son
Donald’s farm.
The couple felt that the
coming ' of cars was the
major invention that has
brought about the biggest
change during their life. “It
changed people’s way of life
so much,” said Mr.
McAlpine.
Saturday evening a special
party was held for the couple
at the Craigweil Gardens
Activity Centre by the
family. Thirty two family
members were present to
honour the couple.

The face of Ailsa Craig is
quietly changing these days
as business slowly expands,
Included in this is one of
Ailsa’s Craig’s main in
dustries - Stewart Seeds.
Recently five new storage
bins were erected with a
capacity of 5,000 bushels
along side other bins
bringing the present total up
to 86.
“We need a number of bins
as opposed to a small
number of very large ones
due to the nature of our
business”, explained Rod
Maclhnes, marketing
manager. “In the cereal
seed grain business we
handle wheat, oats, barley
and rye seed. Each of these
must be stored separately
and each has various grades
which also must be kept
separated.”
Perhaps best known
locally for their research in
corn, winter wheat, barley,
white beans and soybeans,
the company has recently
rented 200 acres of Don
McAlpine’s farm on the west
edge of town to further
research the peanut seed.
‘ While the cereal grain
market itself has not in
creased due to farm
economics, Stewart Seeds
have increased their market
by some 5 perce nt/explained
Mr. Maclnnes. With their
research program the
company has been able to
contribute immensely to the
agricultural scene in
Canada.
The company currently
employees almost seventy
persons in their ovetall

swell greatly during the
summer months when high
school students are em
