With all the talk and statistics about too many thoughtless marriages and too many .vorces, the Betties are a breath of fresh air and optimism to a gloomy forecast. They are healthy, happy and still en- joying wedded bliss after 65 years. Allan and Annie go back even farther than that. They grew up as neighbors on the sixth concession of Goderich Town- ship. On March 27, 1918 they were married at the home of Annie's mother, Mrs. Walter Weston, with Rev. W. Ashe-Everest of Bayfield officiating. The couple farmed in Goderich Town- ship for 33 years until moving to Clinton in 1973. Active in the community, Allan served on the board of stewards of Porter's Hill Grace United Church and Annie was a member of the UCW until the church tt co tin t IMP closed- Then they attended Bayfield United Church and are now members of Wesley -Willis United Church in Clinton. Along with son Alvin and daughter-in- law Barb Bettles of RR 2, Bayfield, Allan and Annie enjoy the company of four grandchildren and eight great grand- children. The couple enjoy entertaining at their home, b on Sunday they were the honored guests at a surprise anniversary party held at Alvin and Barb's home. More than 55 old friends, relatives and neighbors filled the home in the afternoon. In the evening a dinner was held for the family and for two special guests, Mrs. Elmer Yung and Mrs. Emilie Little, both of Goderich. These two ladies attended the wedding ceremony 65 years ago. In the future the Betties plan to continue with what they do best, being married. And they're all set for another family and friends party in 1987, for their 70th wed- ding anniversary.
