Wedding bells ring at old church A pleasant bit of history was created on Sept. 14 when the daughter of Mary and Joe Rochon of Toronto and Bayfield was joined in marriage with Douglas Lawrence an ar- chitect from Oakville. Dr. Paula Rochon and her husband to be, wanted a quiet coun- try wedding in the Church of the English Martyrs. This was the first wedding per- „ formed there since the building was pur- chased by Rose Kennedy in 1930, since when it has served the Roman Catholic families and visitors to the village, as their place of worship during the summer months. Although the church belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, the Mother Church of this chapel is St. Peter's in St. Joseph. Accordingly, succeeding Pastors of that parish have usually been in charge. 1946 brought a real blessing to our communi- ty, when Monsignor Bordeau, beloved by all our people of any faith, became the Pastor. The Monsignor was there to watch this first. wedding in the chapel, where he had ministered for many years. It could not have been a more memorable occasion. The Homily given by Father Augusta Pucci, from Oakville, on the mean- ing of love and the sanctity of marriage was delivered with such a combination of humor and benevolence, the bridal couple will never fail to remember the solemnity of their vows. A lovely part of the service was the ceremonial lighting of the single candle at the' centre of the altar, signifying a new family by the two mothers carrying the two candles from each end which had been burn- ing from the opening. The church had been decorated with wayside flowers in rustic containers at the request of the bride by Doris Hunter and the beautiful gowns of the bride. all in white with intriguing.low, low waistline if such it could be described, and her "Best Woman" and sister Lisa Rochon dressed in chain- pagne coloured silk of equally modish design, were nicely enhanced by the impec- cably attired, in full evening dress of the groom, his best roan Ian Godfrey and the ushers Martin Rochon, brother of the bride and John Lawrence the groom's brother. Douglas could not resist a facetious note so under that evening black, he was sporting a pair of fire engine red'socks! . A plesant country *custom was observed, when the receiving line formed at the foot of the church steps, where guests were able to offer best wishes to the bride and groom and their attendants, as well as their parents Mary and Joe Rochon and Peggy and Jack Lawrence. The weather was so perfect many of those present were able to stroll over to the Bayfield House, Mary R¢chon's art gallery, a much needed touch of culture in our town. Frances Parsons, who otters her gorgeous knitted creations to the public, had arrang- ed very airy bouquets of wayside asters and scotch thistles, a tribute to the Scottish heritage of both families and a great bou- quet of silver pennies. Refreshments were enjoyed both in the gallery and on the patio, which incidentally was designed by the groom. There was a dinner at the Little Inn and the bride and groom are off on their honey- moon in the Scottish Highlands. There were questions; as to whether the Methodist congregation had held weddings in the church, and yes there were, in the first building four weddings being recorded in the Wesleyan Methodist Church register in 1858. Since the present church washuilt in 1906 and served a thriving Methodist Com- munity until 1925 it seems highly likely that many such ceremonies took 'place, yet it is o'r 50 years since the Church of the English Martyrs was consecrated that this first marriage was solemnized.

British Pensioners Update B right pensioners in Canada must be heai.....,i by the determined efforts of the British Pensioners' Association t Canada I ( BPA) to secure pension indexing on their behalf. This anomaly has been exacerbated over the -past year or so by a strike. i►1 England which delayed pension payments at a time when the 'rate of exchange was falling dramatically. The BPA, formed in 1983 has gained in . CHRYSLER, strength since its inception and thanks to the enthusiastic and untiring efforts of its ex- ecutive has made itself heard not only in Canada, but more importantly in the U.K. . In the September newsletter, President, Len Harper, advises members that he will. be making another trip to England in order to reinforce peevious presentations to the. British government. He will also take ad- vantage, of opportunities to extend BPA's viewpoint through the media, al , public meetings and through personal cOntact.s. I British Pensioners find it increasingly dif- ficult to manage as their incomes remain fixed although the cost of livingmaintains upward trends. Those who came to Canada after 1978 cannot look forward toiachieving a full Canadian old age pension until they have been, resident for forty • years! However, for many the problem is not ac- cess to Canadian pension funds, but the frustration of knowing that the cost of living increases which would have been paid automatically if they had remained in the U.K., are denied to them. Had they remain- ed they would have received the full amount, but in some cased would have been able to claim supplementary benefits., as well as health and welfare services. Curiously enough they are able to claim the full rate during visit to the U.K. - providing they can find the fare! Meanwhile BPA presses on with its objec- tives, and in the spring of '86 plans a rally in the U.K. which it is hoped, will generate imembership support to the uttermost. If you are a British.

Deploring our growing dependancy on com- mercial fertilizers and chemical weed con- trol, he explained in detail the proper con- struction of a compost bed and the correct method of using the product. It should be generously spread for some crops with diminishing quantities for others. . Summing up, he said the way of nature is the one to -follow. Thinking of future genera- tions and trusting in God's Creation, we could in time create another style of life on this planet, before it is too late. Alec McAlister thanked the speaker and the hostesses, Jean Clark and her. daughter Janice served refreshments.
