Local couple marks
60 years of marriage
It was a family celebration on
Sunday as the family of Jack- and
Marion Snell, Londesborough,
gathered to honour the couple on
their 60th wedding anniversary.
The former Marion Nethery, the
daughter of William and Ada, lived
just north of Blyth. Jack Snell, was
the son of John and Barbara Snell of
Colborne Twp.
The couple married March 9, 1944
at the Anglican rectory in Blyth.
Rev. Streeter was the officiating
clergy. Attendants were Jean
(Nethery) Potter, a sister of the
bride, who now lives in Blyth and
Doug Snell, a brother of the groom,
who now resides in Londesborough.
The newlyweds only had five days
together before Jack was shipped
out overseas, resulting in a
separation of a year and a half. Until
his departure however, there was a
reception held for them every night.
While her new husband was away,
Marian taught school. Upon his
return the couple lived with his'
parents for several months, then
took up residence on the home farm,
located just west of Londesborough.
They farmed for 45 years, retiring in
1991.
The couple raised five children.
The family has grown today to
include 15 grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren.
The Snells enjoy many outside
interests and activities. Marion is
very active in the UCW at
Londesborough United Church and
Jack is a Mason. They are Past
Matron and Patron of Regal Chapter
Eastern Star. Jack has been involved
for many years in Londesborough
men's bowling.
Marion has a green thumb and
loves gardening, both vegetables
and flowers. She is a baker of much
renown and enjoys knitting.
Jack started playing hockey at age
15 and played for the
Londesborough BAs, a great team in
the 1940s. Besides -being a die-hard
Leafs fan, he-loves anything that has
to do with sports.
Both were very responsible for the
development of music in the lives of
their children, taking them
everw here for lessons and to
perform.
The anniversary celebration was
held at the White Carnation,
Holmesville. Special guests in
attendance included the bride's
sisters, Mrs. Isabel Scanlon and Mrs.
Jean Potter and sister-in-law Jean
Nethery, -as well as the groom's
sisters Mrs. Elva Peck and Mrs.
Betty Fisher and his brother and
sister-in-law Doug and Florence
Snell.

The women of Knox United
Church, Auburn, and the Fellowship
Bible Chapel, Londesborough,
joined with women of
Londesborough United Church,
both past and present, to observe the
World Day of Prayer Service on
Friday, March 5.
Christians around the world chose
the first Friday of March since 1918
to worship in solidarity with the
emphasis, in the women's service, to
encourage ecumenism, spiritual
growth, social justice for all and
women's issues. During the 20th
century, women have emerged as a
major presence and force the world
over.
The women of Panama wrote the
service for 2004 with the title, In
Faith, Women Shape the Future. The
book of Numbers tells the story of
how the five daughters of
Zelophehad approached Moses to
give then-) a voice on the Israelite
council as there as no brother to
claim that inheritance. A new just
law was passed that benefitted
future generations as a result of their
courage.
The gospel of John recounts that
It is hard to believe that next week
is March break for schools in our
area signalling that winter is coming
to a close. During January they
missed a record 10 days of classes
due to stormy weather, making it
difficult to complete the curriculum.
As a result, the P.D. day on March
29 has been cancelled as was the
early dismissal on Feb. 23. A
cancelled ski trip for Grades 7/8 is
rescheduled for March 12.

Nominations and elections are
planned for the next general meeting
April 1. Participation in the

the risen Christ appeared first to
Mary. God gave women a special ,
place in His ministry.
Leader for the service, Kittie
McGregor, read a recent letter from
the Bokhout sisters, Jessica and
Stephanie from the Blyth area, who
are volunteering in an orphanage in
South Africa. These girls are hoping
in a small way to make a difference
in the lives of children with AIDS.
Assisting with the service were
Laura Scott, Marg Wright, Joan
Whyte and Sherri Postma.
Accompanying the hymns and
offering background music was
Barb Bosman.
The people of Panama shape clay
into items of various shapes and
sizes, no two the same. In the same
way God shapes the lives of
Christians. Each lady in attendance
received a piece of broken pottery in
recognition of the power that comes
from God.
Christians are called to let their
light shine in all the world. To
symbolize that light of Christ, as the
ladies presented their offering, they
each lit a candle on a large
cross.
However with the recent warm
temperatures and rain that may be a
no go, giving those pupils yet
another day to catch up on work.
The staff will be participating in a
workshop to learn about setting up
homework on their website for
"snow days".
The virtues being emphasized in
March are understanding,
excellence, integrity and courage.
