HEAVE TEESWATER • • FOR KINCARDINE It was with sincere regret that the community of Teeswater learned a short time ago, that Mr. and Mrs, John Linklater, highly esteemed resi- dents of that village and formerly of Wingham, had disposed of their home and were soon to leave to take up resis deuce in Kincardine with their son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs, Harvey Link- later. In this connection several events of interest were staged by friends and neighbours, On Tuesday evening a few of Mrs. Linklater's very near neighbours were entertained at the home of Mrs. 1:1,gg Where a very enjoyable time was spent. After a_social cup of tea and lunch): Mrs. Linklater was presented with a box of Floraltone stationery, accomp- anied by several stanzas of fine poetry, composed by one of the guests, thus bringing to a close a pleasant evening. On Thursday afternoon two cars of ladies journeyed to the Alps Golf Club where they were entertained by Mrs, R. H. King and Mrs. Lorne Scott, in honor of Mrs. Linklater. After par- taking of a sumptuous chicken dinner, a number of old favorite songs were enjoyed, with Mrs. King at the piano, after which the ladies journeyed home, feeling that another pleasant time had been spent and the bond of friendship with Mrs. Linklater just more streng- thened as the days go by. On Saturday afternoon, June 21st, six of the older members of Knox Presbyterian Church called at the Linklater home and presented Mr. and Mrs. Linklater with gifts from mem- bers of Knox Church. Mrs. Linklater received a Bulova wrist watch in gold case and Mr. Linklater a very attrac- tive billfold containing 'a sum of money. These were accompanied by an. 'embossed satin-covered book in which was written a very appropriate address and to which all the donors names. were added. The thanks of Mr. and Mrs. Linklater were expressed in very touching words, with Mrs. Linklater giving expression to her feelings in the words of the Psalmist: Now for my 'friends' and brethren's sakes Peace 'be in Thee, say, And for the House of God, our Lord, I'll seek Thy good aiway. Immediately following the presenta- tion, these ladies, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Linklater were guests at the home of Mrs. L. Thacker where a tasty lunch was served by Mrs, Thacker and Mrs. L. Donaldson, and a social hour was much enjoyed. Mr. Linklater has been a member of the Session in Knox Church for many years, while Mrs. Linklater has been an active worker in all the church organizations as well as an active worker in the Women's Institute, and during war years was busily engaged in Red Cross work..

Mr. and Mrs. Eldon McKinney and BELMORE ,A very pleasant vent took place in the Community Hall, Belmore, Wed- nesday afteripon-, June 26th, when the Women's Institute held a reunion of former members to celebrate the foun- ding of this organization at Stoney Creek, Out,, 50 years ago. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion with a profusion of spring flowers, and many ladies gath- ered from far and near to join in this happy re-union, The first hour was spent in social intercourse, as old friends greeted each other and recalled past days. The singing of the Insti- tute Ode brought the meeting to order, followed by the Lord's prayer in uni- son, and all sang the old cemmunity song, "The more we get together, the happier we'll be." 'Mrs. Fred Johann gave an address, "The Institute, past and present", she spoke of the founding and early strug- gles of the Women's Institute, then told of the society in Belmore, The records date back to 1912, but some of the older members tell there was an Institute in Belmore 46 years ago, just 4 years after it was founded at Stoney Creek. She gave many inter- esting items gleaned from the records of meetings held during the years. She told of some of the roll calls and some of the papers given by those present, years ago, and this caused considerable merriment. Mrs. Zinn followed with a short talk on "The Institute, a look forward", she stressed the immensity of the organiz- ation and the power it could wield in the world if united with one common aim. We have 70,000 members in, Ca- nada and there are Women's Institutes in 30 other countries in the .world, Their aim has ever been, the bettering of living conditions for women, espec- ially rural women, and their motto is "Service".. The organization includes people of every creed, race and colour. She closed with the slogan "Hats off to the past, it represents 50 years of service, and coats off to the future, much yet remains to be done", Miss Minnie Jeffray gave a recita- tation in costume, "The Old Time. Dance", which received much applause.

She explained each scene as those taking part came on the plat- form, The first scene showed Mrs, 1-loodless, the founder, kneeling by the empty cot of her little son who had died as a result of impure milk, 50 years ago., As she knelt she dedicated her life in service to her sister women that they should not suffer through lack: of knowledge as. she had. Over her hovered an angel in white with a star of hope in her hand.' Then, fol- lowed 4 girls with the Institute Motto, "For Home and Country", then each of the nine provinces came in, accord ing to the years they organized, then England, Wales, Europe, Asia and Af- rica followed, and lastly the children with their banners "Youth , Carries On". The audience then rose and sang "0 Canada", A memorial service for 48 of our members who have passed on through the years was conducted by Mrs. T. Abraham, while Mrs, Scott Inglis placed a flower in the basket as each name was called, making at the close, a lovely bodquet of remembrance, Af- ter a few moments silence, ail sang "Blest be the Tie that Binds," Mrs. Carl Douglas sang beautifully "The Hand ,That Rocks the Cradle". This was a request number from one of our charter members. Mrs. Roy Rutherford and Mrs. Win, Edwards have been members here for the longest period so they were grant- ed the privilege of lighting the yellow candles on the 3 story Birthday Cake. The meeting closed with the Nation- al Anthem, then the ladies were invited to the basement where a dainty salad supper was served on tables decorated with streamers of the Institute colors, mauve and gold,- This brought to a close a very happy afternoon. A pleasant time was spent in the school grounds here last Friday after- noon when the mothers joined the children (the men were too busy) in holding a picnic on this, the last day of the school year. The usual races and tug-of-war, also a game of ball were enjoyed by the children and older girls, while the lad- ies rested under the shade of the trees David Crompton: Gifts For All Occatsions WINGHAM PHONE 59- and visited. A sumptuous lunch dissappeared in a hurry after all this activity, and the School Area delighted the hearts of all- by providing lemonade and lee cream. At the close Miss Mae Johann,n call-. ed the teacher, Miss Isabel Zinn, for- ward, and after saying a few words of appreciation, the children presented her with a lovely set of 4 Pyrex bowls. in different colors, also a sum of mon- ey. Miss Zinn was taken completely by surprise, but thanked them for their- beautiful gift, and also for the wonder- ful co-operation she has received from every parent in the section during the two years she has taught in Belmore. $3.29 $4.00 $2.98 $2.65 CLASSIFIED ADS.
