Centering the buffet table was an arrangement of natural spring blooms and a wedding cake made and beautifull decorated by Sherry Postma, Jetta's maid of honour at the Button wedding. The many relatives, friends and neighbours who called to convey congratulations were served cake, fruit punch, tea and coffee to further honour this occasion, Melda McElroy read a few verses which she had composed earlier in the day. * * * * * Blyth's welcome mat was out recently for Mrs. Inez McDonald, 100 years old, Blyth's oldest resident. After a year and a half's absence, Inez arrived at her Dinsley St. home on April 15, at midnight, having travelled by plane from Victoria B.C., to Toronto accompanied by her son- in-law, Jim Mitchell. Her daughter Margaret lives in Victoria. Inez was met at the airport by Frank and Cenetta Bainton who have been extending this kind gesture every spring exceptfor last year when, because of her daugh- ter's illness, she was unable to spend the summer here. Inez said, about her arrival, that it felt good to come through the door. Everything looked cosy, and she did enjoy a light meal served before retiring. Jetta Button is lending assistance in the home. village council sets its mill rate, but already county and board of Inez is looking forward to celebrating in a few days her one hundred and first birthday in herhome which was once that of her parents, brothers and sisters -- the Hirons home. ***** Visitors during the past week andweekend at the home of Bill and Lillian Patterson were sons and daughters, Brent Pollock of Calgary, Wayne Pollock of Chath- am, Sharon and Janice Pollock of London.

Ella Richmond and Gordon Murray had the low scores. The April 14 Euchre party at Memorial hall saw 10 tables in play. Ida Proctor was the high lady and Mary Shobbrook the low lady. Miller Richmond was high man and Hazel Reid, playing as a man, the low. Elia Richmond and Vera Hesselwood had the most lone hands. The special prize went to Margaret Nesbit. education levies promise a sizable increase. The Huron County levy will see an increase of 9.75 for the village, once increased assessment is figured in. The actual amount of the levy over last year is 14.78 per cent. Reeve Albert Wasson said the county's decision to go ahead with both the museum and Huronview expansion project this year jacked up the county rate. The county had already committed itself to the museum and manyfelt that with senior level grants available this year, the Huronview project should also be undertaken this year. The increase could have been worse, he said, if the council hadn't votednottoput money into reserve funds for hospital construction, etc. this year. Meanwhile the education levy ended up looking small by compar- ison. The amount of the increase is 9.76 per cent but with the increased assessment in the village it works out to an increase of only 5.55 per cent. Blyth will pay $45,879 to the county and $153, 105 to the board of education.
