30 Swinging Seniors meet
Milestone
Ferne and Edgar Howatt of Lot 34, Conc. 5, East
Wawanosh were the honoured guests at a 60th wedding
anniversary held Friday evening in the Belgrave arena.
Howatts wed 60 years
It was cause for celebration on
Sept. 27 at the Belgrave arena
when friends and family gathered
to honour Feme and Edgar Howatt
on 60 years of marriage.
Special guests for the day were a
brother and his wife from Colling-
wood, as well as cousins from
Seaforth, Goderich, Clinton, and
Atwood.
Life together began Sept. 30,
1936, when the former Feme Plow-
man wed Edgar Howatt at the
Auburn manse. The minister was
Rev. Hugh Wilson. Attendants
were Earl, Edna and Mildred Plow-
man.
Following a honeymoon trip to
Birr, Strathroy and London, the
Howatts began farming in East
Wawanosh and raised a family,
Ruth, Doreen, Ivan, Dorothy, Dou-
glas and Ronald. Another son, Gor-
don, died in childhood.
The Howatts also have 13 grand-

About 30 Blyth Swinging
Seniors met in the Memorial Hall
for a pot luck dinner at noon on
Wednesday, Sept. 25.
Following the dinner the program
committee called on Janis Vodden
to tell about her "Sunflower
House". She said as people get
older they remember some of their
secret hideaways so when she saw
the plans for the sunflower house
she really wanted to try it.
She said a space about 8' by 10' is
needed. The walls were mainly tall
sunflowers with seeds planted one
inch apart ( a double row). She
used shorter varieties like
Hclianthus (Teddy Bear) on the
outside of the house. Morning
glories were planted among the
sunflowers. If planted on a lawn the
grass may be left for the floor area.
She.said it was a fun place for
children and adults to relax. The
birds and butterflies visited often.
President Isabelle Craig opened
the meeting and all sang 0 Canada.
Harvey McDowell and Vera
Badley led a lively sing-song with
Phyllis Boak at the piano.
Happy Birthday was sung to Jean
Nethery, Janet Lawrie, Edgar
Howatt and Mary Shobbrook.
Those having wedding anniver-
saries were Bill and Isabelle Craig,
Alvin and Gene Snell and a special
one for Edgar and Ferne Howatt
who are celebrating their 60th.
The usual reports were read. The
new representative to the hall hoard
is Effie McCall.
Isabelle reminded everyone about
the birthday party for the residents
of Huronlea on Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. The
seniors will provide lunch. Harvey
McDowell and his group will
provide entertainment.
Blyth Seniors arc hosting the
Zone 8 Rally on Oct. 10. Several
plans were finalized for this
meeting. Mr. Ross Proctor will be
guest speaker in the afternoon.
Isabelle thanked everyone for
their support during her term as
president, then called the new
president, Lawrence Plaetzer to
take over. He adjourned the
meeting.

Members of Donnybrook United
Church, the Howatts for many
years attended Westfield United
Church.
A musician, Mr. Howatt was part
of a group, affectionately known as
the Westfield Wonders. He, along
with Watt Mann, Eddie McGill,
Kathleen McGill and Ned Thomp-
son were part of the early Barn-
dance days, before the travelling
show hit the road.
That love of music was evident at
the celebration on Friday with plen-
ty of talented fiddlers, singers and
step-dancers taking part in the
evening's entertainment. In addition
to the program prepared for the
special couple by their family and
some good friends, the night was
spent enjoying some reminiscenses
of the Howatt's life together. It was
an evening greatly appreciated by
Feme and Edgar.

His experience serving as an
