Plumsteel, well-known residents of Clinton, celebrated their 50th wedding an- niversary. To mark the occasion they were "at home" to their friends and relatives. The couple was married June 30, 1903, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hill, Clinton, parents of Mrs. Plumsteel, the former Mabel Beatrice Hill. Her husband is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Plumsteel, Clinton. The ceremony was performed by the late -Dr. W. Gifford, who was minister of the Ontario Street Methodist Church. Mr., and Mrs. Plumsteel spent the first few months, of their _mar- ried life on a 100 -acre farm near Brucefield. However, farming had little appeal to them, so they moved into Clinton where Mr. Plumsteel joined the staff of his father's business, which had been started in 1876. Mr. Plumsteel re- tired in 1946. They have a family of three daughters, Miss Eleanor Plumsteel, Clinton; Mrs. H. J. Snell, wife of Rev. Snell, of James Street United Church, Exeter, and Mrs. J. M. Kingston, Seattle, Wash. There are four grandchildren. Mr. Plumsteel, born in Bruce - field 71 years ago, has two bro- thers rathers and one sister living, Perry Plumsteel, Clinton; Roy Plumsteel, London Road, and Miss Emma Plumsteel, Clinton. Mrs. Plum - steel, was born at Holmesville 70 years ago. She has one brother living, Bert Hill, Edmonton. Mr. Plumsteel devoted much of his time to his church, the On- tario Street United, where he is a 2I4Ke► ICE CREA11111 AS -ADYERIISED_IN ...A made exclusively by Ice Cream Company au RTE7' EXTRA MILEAGE D.

Huron Visit Ends For U.K. Juniors Two young farmers from Britain, John Pickthall, 23, from Westmor- land, in the north of England and Gladys Pritchard, from South Wales, completed a tour of Huron County last week -end after being in this area for about a week. Their week in Huron followed visits* to farms in the Ottawa Val- ley 'and Eastern Ontario and a three-day stay at the Agricultural College in Guelph. After leaving here, they went to Chatham for a tour of Kent County farms. Miss Pritchard . was a guest in Huron of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Edgar., near Gorrie, and while in the Howick ' Township area noted many similarities between this county and her home in Wales. Mr. Pickthall was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Underwood, of R.R. 1, Wingham. Mr. Underwood is past 'president of the North Huron Junior Farmers Association and a club leader for Turnberry 4-H Calf Club. The English visitor had already seen the junior farmer exchange system, by means of which he is visiting Canada, in operation last year, when he was host to two junior farmers from the United States. .

Rumor has it that seagoing men Grit— pale before they finish one trip across the lakes—if they last that long. Here is what happens, crewmen chuckle: Two ore carriers meet head on in one of the narrow river chan- nels connecting the lakes, just' wide enough for the ships to pass. Neither veers an inch until they are within a ship's length of collid- ing. Neither slows. Then, quick- ly, each man throws his wheelto the right a turn. Both ships swing out, and pass, so close that you almost can jump across the boil- ing water between them. Once abreast, each swings back into the center channel again. At this point, old-timers say, the ocean sailors or captains are ready to go back to the sea, where ships pass with hundreds of feet between them. If this seems deliberately risky, it is not, one lakes captain explain- ed. If ships move aside before they meet, there is more chance that they might strike the bank of the channel and be thrown back into a collision. Also, when they meet running parallel, there is a hydraulic force pulling ships to- gether toward a sidewise crash. (This is the, Venturi effect which is the same action which gives lift to an airplane's wing.) Even on the open lakes, the giants meet and pass at surprising- ly close distances. The big difference bettveen ocean helmsmen and ore boat wheelsmen, as crewmen here tell it, is that the salt water men steer all over the ocean. Wheelmen on the lakes are expected to keep the bowsprit steering pole pointed within one degree of their course,regardless of winds, waves or load in the ship. Op long straightaways as on Lake Superior, an automatic pilot is set and will hold a course far more than a hundred miles, guided by the ship's gyrocompass. One sunny afternoon, I entered the pilot house to' find not a person •PAG!' .: in sight= -and an empty horizon before us. Both the mates and the wheelmen were back in the chartroom studying the entrance to Duluth harbor. Under gyro - control, the ship skimmed across the waves at 25 miles an hour, straight as an arrow. Lake storms, too, scare away many ocean tars, lakes men say. The story is told that when the first really big lake ship was built, before the turn of the century, owners imported a salt water skip- per to run it. After one trip aad storm, he gave up and headed back east. Only lakes captains, too, are skilled in docking without aid of tugs, or in tying up their 20,000 ton ships with only two men on the shore. High water on the lakes is the enemy .of home=and beach—own- ers, but ship operators 'ove it. And for good reason. Every additional inch of water flowing between the lakes over the. shallow channel spots allows, 'boat captains to load another inch of cargo in the hold. This adds up to about two million tons of ore, coal, grain and other commodities movable during the shipping sea- son. The Girdled, for instance, can load about another 100 tons of Enters Gull On Luer Driver Geta Fine r When circumstances did not seem to warrant conviction on a cardless driving charge, John E. Chambers, of Goderich, pleaded guilty to having parked on the wrong side of the street and was fined $5 and costs by Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C., in police court here last Thursday.:. Chambers had been charged with careless driving as the result of a collision between a taxi driven by him and a car driven by Fred Toole, of Goderich at Elgin avenue and South street on June 20. Frank Donnelly, representing Chambers, told the courtthat the damage to the Toole car, amount- ing to $30 had been paid for by the accused. He asked for a dis- missal, claiming that the charge was a serious matter." "Any little accident on the Sggare might re- sult in such a chharge," he re- marked. Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays, Q.C„ however, felt that the ac- cident seemed to be a "flagrant act." The accused had admitted that he was parked facing the ,wrong way on Elgin .street and had backed up in an arc .to turn around when the collision occured. Chambers claimed he did not see the other car. Magistrate Holmes, while debat- ing the careless driving charge, commented that a town by-law states that cars must not park with the left side against the curb. "Nobody, the police or anybody else seems to pay any. attention to the by-law," he said. "There isn't a street off the Square where cars are not panted on the wrong side." The magistrate said he admitted the accident was a minor one, "but the case is before me," he said. After discussion, Crown Attor- ney Hays said he would amend the charge so that the accused would be charged under the by- law, and the careless driving charge be withdrawn. ore for exery incn of additional water over the shallow spots. -- Christian Science Monitor. • Da vfm.
