TOLTON-VAN VLIET
Blyth United Church was the
scene of a beautiful wedding on
June 11, when Kimberley Lois van
Viiet, R.N. and Stephen Philip
Tolton were united in marriage.
The bride is the only daughter of
Con and Lois van Viiet, Blyth, and
the groom is the eldest son of
Kathryn Tolton and the late Ronald
Tolton of Stratford.
The church was decorated with
guest pew arrangements of large
dustyroseandwhite carnations
and a chancel arrangement of
dusty pink Reuben lilies, ivory
bouvardia and pink roses.
Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez, assisted
by Rev. Cecil Wittich of Listowel,
performed the double-ring cere
mony.
Suitable selections and expres
sive renditions of four songs
performedby the Blyth Festival
Singers, directed by Angus Sin
clair with Louise McGregor at the
organ, added greatly to the
impressiveness of the entire cere
mony.
For the prelude, the choir sang
“The Wedding Song”, and during
the signing of the register, “Me
mories”, the theme from “Cats”,
which is a favourite song of the
bride’s mother, was sung. An
appropriate song, “Candle on the
Water”, was sung during the
lighting of the “Unity Candle” by
the bride and groom, after which
they honoured their mothers by
going to them to lovingly present
each with a red rose.
Tothe music of*‘The trumpet
Tune”, the bride, escorted down
the aisle by her father in grey
morning suit, looked radiant in a
floor-length antique ivory satin
gown with cathedral train, both

Jack Hodgins, owner of the
second largest user of the rail line,
predicted that in the next ten years
or so, the railroad ‘‘will be the
Highway 401 to small communities
forfreightand people” as more
and more move to smaller munici
palities to live while still working in
large urban centres.
“I think we’re throwing in the
towelafterthefirstround,” he said
ofthe proposed abandonment. Mr.
Hodgins also predicted an increase
in the number of carloads he will be
using this year. The owner of
Hodgins Lumber in Wingham
pooled lu mber retailers from tow ns
in the area in order to use 11
carloads in 1987. This year, the
pool of retailers - in Walkerton,
Mount Forest, Fergus, Kincardine
and Brussels - is likely to use about
20 carloads.
Closing the line would be
discrimination against a small
rural retail lumber business, Mr.
Hodgins said. He also wondered
whether or not the railway has been
actively involved in increasing
traffic.
“I feel sure it would (increase) if

It was Mr. Allison’s letter to the
agency which CN lawyer Terrence
Hall read into the record, although
Mr. LeVan’s is also recorded in
NTA files. In his letter, Mr. Allison
says his company supports the
application on two grounds - that it
is notin favor of any corporation
being forced to continue operation
when it does not want to operate,
and that it does not favor using
taxpayers’ money to force a
company to continue operating
against its will.
Western Foundry has been
unable to use the line to ship and
Mr. LeVan, in his letter, urges the
NTA to ‘‘put our tax dollars to
productive uses.”
Several of those presenting
briefs against the application
bristled at the casual manner in
which Mr. Hall suggested that
Premdor consider moving its
Wingham operation closer to its
British Columbia source of cedar.
“I was very shocked yesterday
listening to the Canadian National
people suggest that Premdor move
its operation from Wingham to
Calgary,” Wingham Deputy
Reeve replied to a question posed

He asked the agency to not close
the subdivision. “Do not stifle the
industry, the other businesses and
the Town of Wingham by closing
the rail line,” he said. Roads in the
area are not wide enough to
accommodate the increased truck
traffic, he added, especially in the
harsh Huron County winter condi
tions. If the line is closed, Mr.
Harris said, the Town of Wingham
will request:
•1. Financial assistance to current
users to adapt facilities and
purchase equipment necessary to
use alternative means of transport.
