No matter how you count, it's a long time to be married. Still, it just seems like yesterday that William and Ruby Parker of RR 1, Bayfield tied the knot. The memories may be slightly faded by time. The couple may no longer be considered newlyweds, but their love and commitment has endured the test of time. On June 22 the Parkers celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. It was a warm day, back in 1927 when they were wed. The wedding was held at the bride's family home in Cargill. Many relatives attended. The bride wore a pretty champagne col- ored lace dress, designed in the popular flapper style of the day. The groom looked appropriately dapper in his suit. The newlyweds honeymooned to Michigan to visit relatives. They travelled in a rented Ford Coupe. "I didn't have my own car. I didn't have anything," Mr. Parker recalls. Money was scarce, luxuries were few when the young couple began their married life. They lived in a rented home in Cargill. Mr. Parker was studying to be a butter Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pennings, Zurich, and Mr. and Mrs. Cor DeCorte, Seaforth, are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their children, Elaine and Ken.

A widow asked Mr. Parker to buy the house for $1,800. He bought it by paying $25 u month. The couple lived there some 15 years and Mr. Parker worked for Silverwoods Dairy as a licensed butter maker. Later they moved to Woodbridge where Mr. Parker owned his own dairy. He sold the business six years later and the couple travelled for two years. Deciding that he was too young to retire, Mr. Parker went to work as an engineer at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto for 10 years. The Parkers also lived in Walkerton, Goderich and Kincardine following their retirement. For more than 20 years they also lived in Florida for six months of the year. Their winter home was located in St. Petersburg. Now the Parkers make their year round home in Stanley Township, just south of Bayfield. They live with their daughter Muriel and her husband Gord. Their self-contained apartment is part of the modern home that graces 14 acres of property. There is a swimming pool here, a three hole golf course, horseshoe pits, a ENGAGEMENT COOK - DALE Bill Buchanan of Brussels and Kay Buchanan of Clinton wish to announce the forthcoming mar- rige of their daughter, Susan Cook to Ernie Dale, son of Les and Shirley Dale of Blyth.

Best family memories are of the times spent in Florida, but the Parkers are ad- justing well to year round Canadian Living. Last year they had to buy a complete war- drobe of winter clothes. It had been some 25 years since they last owned a pair' df snow boots or wool gloves. It's a good life that William and Ruby Parker enjoy. It's been a good marriage too. The secret to their long and successful union lies in the open line of communications that they have worked to maintain. "There was no boss," Mr. Parker says. "We did things together. If something came up we'd chit chat about it and sort it out." Many events have come and gone since the time that William and Ruby first met at the dance in Pinkerton. Little did they know what an impact that dance would have on the rest of, their lives. William and Ruby Parker have been dan- cing together since that time. '`If you get the right partner, 100 years isn't too much time to be together," Mr. Parker says.
