Melville WMS meets at Krauters
You take a chance getting mar-
ried during the winter in Huron
County, but when Shirley and Les
Rutledge tied the knot on Feb. 16,
1946 it was a lovely, sunny day.
Not willing to press their luck,
however, the couple, who were
vacationing in Florida this past
February, waited until last Sunday
to celebrate their golden anniver-
sary with an open house at Blyth
United Church.
Shirley Emily Wallace, of Blyth,
and Leslie Melvin Rutledge of
Grafton were married at the home
of the bride's parents, Irvin and
Dorothy Wallace, by Rev. Arthur
Sinclair. The groom was the son of
Fred and Gertrude Rutledge.
The couple were attended by
Shirley's sister, Irma Wallace and
Les's brother Horace. They honey-
mooned in Ottawa, Brockville and
Toronto before setting up house-
keeping in Toronto. Les was
employed for the next few years as
a general clerk for CN Express,
while Shirley worked as a comp-
tometer operator, "the computer of
today", at CIL.
The couple moved to Blyth in

areas.''
1948. Over the next three years Les
worked at Blyth Co-op. During this
time, Shirley tended to their young
family, which eventually grew to
five children, Robert now of
Brampton, Larry of Holmesville,
Gwendolyn Brander of George-
town, Richard of Clinton and Ken-
neth of Port Elmsely.
They relocated to Mississauga,
when Les began working with
CPR, then later as an employee
with Shell. Shirley started working
for a fuel oil business, which she
eventually purchased and ran for
over 20 years.
They retired in 1984, then moved
back to Blyth six years ago.
They are members of the Blyth
United Church. Their special inter-
ests include Blyth Festival, lawn
bowling and travel.
Special guests at their open house
were longtime friends, Rev. John
and Catherine Ambrose of Missis-
sauga and friends from Shirley's
days with the Brampton-Bramalea
Sweet Adelines.
Friends and family attended from
as far away as Ottawa, London,
Barrie, Samia and Toronto as well
as Blyth and the surrounding area.
The blitz is being organized in
response to teachers concerns about
the impact future cuts will have on
Huron children in what they say is
an already underfunded system.
They will be asking residents to
express their concerns to the gov-
ernment as well and ask for a fair
shake for Huron with respect to
children's education.
Melville WMS met at the home
of Mrs. Cal Krauter for their April
meeting. This meeting was based
on Easter and was convened by
Ruby Steiss.
The hymn In the Cross of Christ
I Glory was sung. The WMS
Purpose was repeated in unison.
A prayer was given by Ruby and
Leona Armstrong read the scrip-
tures Mathew 28, verses 1-10. The
roll, a poem or verse about Easter,
was answered by the members. The
hymn, Come Let Us Sing of a
Wonderful Love was sung.
Ruby had a reading entitled
"Easter". The topic was "What does
Easter mean?" and "The oldest
Easter Message." Hymn More Love
to Thee was sung. A prayer brought
this part of the meeting to a close.
President, Helen Elliott chaired
the business. She thanked
Marguerite for inviting the group to
her home and Ruby for her
excellent Easter messages.
The secretary's and treasurer's
reports were given and approved as
read. There was a brief discussion
about plans for the Mission Sunday
on April 29. Mary Huether offered
her home for the May meeting.
The hymn Let Christian Faith
and Hope Dispel the Fears of Guilt
and War, was sung.
The Mizpah Benediction was
repeated.
Lunch was served by the hostess
assisted by Thelma Cardiff and
Leona Armstrong. A social hour
was enjoyed.
