the late John W. Horner
and the former Bertha

rounds with women

goods. Mr. Horner said
after his marriage his
wife went to the
wholesale firms with him
and she was com-
plimented for her ability
to choose the most
saleable yardgoods.
Although trained for
business life, love for
farm life proved too
strong and the couple
bought a farm at Varna in
1921 where they lived for
28 years until moving to
Exeter in 1948.
At the end of two years
they bought a farm on the
eastern outskirts of
Seaforth where the

Township.
Mr. Horner, now 88
years old, retired to
Seaforth in 1960 to the
home the couple now
occupy at 62 East William
Street.
For Mrs. Horner her
wedding day is a double
celebration as it is her
birthday. She was 82.
To celebrate the oc-
casion Mr. and Mrs.
Horner spent the
weekend in Stratford at
the home of their only
daughter, and son-in-law,

Street, where a family
gathering was held at-
tended by their only son,

lot of,people have some pretty strange ideas about
„Canada's immigration law. And, as a result, a lot of
people suffer from believing them.
The fact is, the most reliable information comes from us.
In other countries, we're in Canadian Government visa offices.
Here athome, it's your Canada Immigration Centre.
If you know someone who'll have to pass through
Canadian Immigration in the near future, you'd he
doing therm a favour by pointing them in our direc-
tion. Especially now that there's a new
immigration law.
Now, the new law doesn't mean a
lot of changes for the average immigrant
or visitor: Here, nevertheless, area few
thing thatmight affect you or someone
you know.
From now on, immigrants and those
visitors who dome here to work er, study
must make all immigration~
aiTan'ments
before arriving in Canada. No one may
change his orher status while inside Canada.
Remember that money can't buy
your way into Canada. All the help you neer 1
is free at any Canadian Government
visa office or Canada Immigration
Centre.
Canadian immigration officers
do not discriminate on the grounds
of colour, race or religion. Ever.
A new adjudication system gives
greater protection to the civil rights of people involved in
immigration proceedini:. And deportation will no longer be the
only possible penalty. There are now less drastic alternatives for minor infractions of
immigration law.The new law does not make immigration easier, but it does make it more pre-
dictable. If you need to know more, ask at a Canada Immigration Centre. .
If you know someone abroad who needs information, tell them to contact their Canadian
Government visa office before they make a move.That way, they'll know exactly where
they stand when they step off the plane.
