Wilson was the preacher. Geo- rge and Barb, were to start a new future. Off on a honeymoon to Ber- wick and New York, did they go. With a 1947 car borrowed from mother Frank, they looked just so. We understand the car was wired, and when, the switch was turned on they got it in the end. The weather was hot but Barb didn't care, she took along her red coat, yes, she takes it every- -where. George and Barb are bless- ed with two daughters, Vonne and Pauline. Two nicer girls, I never have seen. Vonne loves her music, school books and such, Pauline never cared for school, too much. She says I could find things to do, and I liked, much better. I think it's that young Clark from Wroxeter. Now George has a home in Goderich, a town quite familiar. They live up there, muclof the summer. The air is mucn clear- er. Up there when attending a Warden's meeting, George dressed in his best, a pretty girl said, I must know you, where did I see you last. I've seen you before, George was bash- full and really turned red. Oh; you're Murray Gaunt, the young lady said, Anne Bray 'had two kittens, round and fat, gave Barb the pussy and Lottie the cat. Good heavenS said George, Barb there' 11 be kittenS galore. fix that George, I told you before. So they boxed up the kittens, up the hill they went. Figured an afternoon well spent. Doe Anderson turned them over, looked at this and at that. "Said" Lottie you have the pussy, Barb owns the cat. MeCutcheOnS took Parkers on a trip to the States, George telling how many miles to the gallon, the Olds would make, (Continued on Page 1) and wedding bells. Ken Scott's orchestra supp- lied the music for dancing. During the evening the couple were called to the stage. Cecil Parker read a lengthy, humorous address. Ross and Della Nichol, who had been the attendants at the wedding twenty-five years previously presented the couple with a sum of money and a bottle of champagne. Both Barb and George thanked the organizers for arranging such a lovely evening, for the gifts, and all who attended to make the party such a memorable occasion. THE ADDRESS How lucky we are to have George and Barb, with us to- night. To haVe this party with- out them, wouldn't seem right. George is so busy with Lib- rary meetings, conservation, Lions and such. Barb is more for church meetings, cleaning house, and talks on the phone too much. When Barb was a baby, there was none quite finer. Off to school, till a teacher she be- came, then without warning, de- cided to change her name. " Now George I arri told was a shy little chap. Always play- ing with chisels and bolts and that. He was clever at school, but didn't like it too much. He tried farming, then said, oh no. I think for a mechanic, goo And turned out to be, a good one you know. The first sign of Spring, a clitter a clatter. The 3rd liners would ran, to see what was the matter. Oh that's young Mc- Cuteheon, from one ditch to an- other. On the read, off the road, from one fence to another. The „snow was so deep, no cars could get through, We'll see said George, what the Old army truck can do. Now this Is enough, saiddeo- 'to —THE BRUSSELS POST, AUGUST 9, 1972 The gas tank was getting down, showing empty. Nonsense said George, it will go another twenty.' Elsie, Cec and Barb were too vexe to talk. It was a hot day, they didn't wan t to 'walk. But George kept on driving as happy as a lark. Finally, in front of a hobby shop, the Olds came to a stop. Now said George, you folks do some shopping, I'll get the gas. The heck with you, said Barb, I'll sit right here on my ? ? (censored) Finally poor George got out, he felt like a skunk, he had a can of gas hid in the trunk. Now George and Barb threw a party. Cousins, Ranns, Mc- Faddens, Turnbulls and Bakers, Crawfords, Smiths, Nichols, Parkers, and Hoovers, Me- Cutcheons, Machans, Haskins, Brooks and Stephensons, were only a few of them that were there. Oh; What a scurry and 'work to, be done, When it was over, t'was a howling succ- ess. Annie and Lottie did the cooking. Allan Webb did the rest. Now at euchre, Barb "thinks she is a whiz. She plays every- one's hand, so Jessie says. Geo- rge is in the bushes, Issy sits on the fence, Crawfords a bug and brother Sam a rat. Uncle Frank and Glenn are not too fast 'at that. Don't trump that ace, king is high, It's your turn Ross or don't you know,,(Said'n' Barb, I can sure play euchre, Johnny told me so. When Barb was younger, to the dandes she made her brother Sammy go. But he had to pay the guys a quarter to dance with her, at least, Sammy says so, , George is not much fOr dancing, he likes to watch in- stead. But they go the the dances, and Barb hunts up Jack Bishop or poor Webb. Now I could go on fOr an hour, or so, but, like all things, must come to ail end. So Della and Ross, for thein we will send, Twenty - five years ago, Della was -best lady and ROSS the beSt man.
