THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1996 Blyth resident buys in Defying the winter weather there was a good turnout of the Auburn Horticultural society for the meeting on Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. O Canada was sung to begin the meeting with Jane Stryker, as pianist. Dorothy Schneider, president welcomed everyone. Heather Dumin gave the minutes of the last meeting. The Pumpkinfest had been successful as well as enjoyable. Ann Vincent gave the treasurer's report with $1,950.93 on hand. On Nov. 9 Dorothy Schneider had a directors' meeting at her home. There is work to be done at Manchester Gardens. For the March meeting ideas and designs for it will be needed. If anyone would care to give a unique plant or flower it would be planted there. John Stryker is making another bench. Discussion about the night lights and Christmas lights followed. Don Haines has done the winter covering of the fountain for years and is to be thanked for his faithful work. Regina Campbell offered to take care of it this year. Lots of hard work and working together played a part in sustaining a 50-year marriage, said Mildred and Tom Lawlor of Auburn, who marked their golden anniversary, Nov. 18. "We don't know how we did it (all the work)," they said, "but we appreciated everything we got." The pair started with nothing, running their own farm in Colborne Twp. while Mr. Lawlor helped run the home farm, looked after a rent- ed property and worked as a car- penter as well. "We had to pay off the farm," said Mrs. Lawlor. The Lawlors also said things have changed since the early days of their marriage. "We had a lot of visitors. It was fun when neigh- bours would drop by for cards. Neighbours would help each other when it was needed. Today, you On Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. the annual meeting will be held. A 1st vice president should be appointed at this time. Remember that more members can help increase grants, so membership needs to grow. Maxine Seers introduced the guest speakers for the evening, Luann Taylor and Linda Wilson from Luann's Country Flowers, Blyth. On display were a number of floral designs already made. As Luann spoke about these Linda busily made a beautiful centrepiece. They showed the various sprays, evergreen boughs, cones, milkweed pods, etc. that are used. Cherubs and angels are also used. A small box resembling a trunk filled with old and new articles was shown. Linda told how to glaze grapes so that they look snow covered and how to save ribbons in decorating. Luann closed with another centrepiece. Maxine thanked them for their very decorative and informative speech. They answered numerous questions as everyone enjoyed assorted cheese and breads to close the meeting. don't even know your neighbours." Mildred (Anderson) and Tom Lawlor were wed at Benmiller United Church manse, with Mary Park and Gordon Schultz as their attendants. As well as working very hard running the farm for 32 years, the pair raised one son, Jim. They also have five grandchildren, which Mrs. Lawlor said, are the "joy of her life." After retiring from farming, the couple returned to the Lawlor homestead, just west of Auburn. Mrs. Lawlor has been active in the Auburn UCW, WI, Horticultur- al Society and Travel Club as well as being an avid collector of such items as decorative thimbles, bells, horseg and more than 600 salt and pepper shaker sets.

Though presently taking care of the fuel portion of the business, Ritchie said once partner Teresa Godfrey teaches him a little more about cooking, he will be helping in that area as well.
