If there's a secret recipe
to making a marriage
succeed, Allan and Florence;
Webb of Brussels must know
what it is, since they will be
celebrating - their 50th
anniversary on. May 17.
Mrs. Webb, the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank. H. Cloakey and Allan
Webb, the pldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. L.Wcob of Stroud,
Ontario were married at the
home of the bride in Toronto
on May 17, 1930 by Rev. Earl
W. Remaly, a close friend.
Mr. Webb worked for
Bordens Ltd. and Pathe Ltd.'
the Sound people in Toronto
before retiring to Brussels
seven years ago. Mrs.
Webb's father lived in
Brussels 100 years ago and
his mother was a McCutche-
on, and with relatives here
the Webbs were Used to
visiting back and forth, Mt.
Webb has done a bit of
bartending for both the
Brussels Legion and the
arena.
Mrs. Webb 'says they've
enjoyed living in , Brussels
and since she ,was active in
the Rebekahs and Allan was
active in the Legion in
Toronto they were glad that
both were available in
Brussels.
If there's' a special
ingredient to making a
marriage succeed, Mrs.
Webb thinks it may be the
give and take.
"I think the secret of
marriage is to work, at it.
There's no sunshine and
roses all the time," she said.
Like everybody else, she
says, they've had their share
of bad times and adds that,
"it's worth every bit of it."
"It's been happy and
worthwhile, " she says' of
their 50 year union:
ALLAN AND FLORENCE WEBB.
