Couple celebrate holden
wedding anniversary at
On FeMuary 26, 1930,
Cleta McCreath and
Randall Marriott were
'married in the home_of
her mother, Mrs. Mamie
McCreath. The Reverend
R.C. .McDermott per-
formed the ceremony.
LastSaturday,
February 23, the couple
celebrated their 50th
anniversary at home with
friends and family. Mrs.
Marriott is 73 years old
and her husband is 74.
Mr. and Mrs. Marriott
have resided in Saltford
for the .last 25 years.
Prior to that they lived in
Goderich where Mr.
Marriott owned Mariotte
Transport. In 1952, he
sold out to Boyes Tran-
sport and . worked for.
themuntil his retirement
12 years later.
The Marriotts-have one•
daughter, Marjorie, who
is Mrs. John Pentland of
RR6 Goderich. They also
have four grandchildren,
three boys and one girl.
The couple have dif-
home.
ferent ideas as to the
reasons • a marriage can
last for 50 years. Mrs.
Marriott advises people
to "n "
otworry'too much,
Mr. Marriott feels the
secret is to "work like
hell."
"It wasn't all easy,." he
says, "but we've never
done too much fighting."
Repe.at brides choose larger diamonds
•
As the song says, love's
more comfortable the
second time around and
— according to research
more money -wise
especially with regard. to
the diamond engagement
ring. •
Lttia-
dertaken by .DeBeers
Consolidated Mines' Ltd.,'
the. world's largest
marketer of rough stones,
has indicated that a little
more than half of repeat
brides receive a diamond
engagement ring and
usually it's a large stone.
It's a diamond the bride
wants, since ilt goes with
marriage, . s'ymbol'izing
love, and for the repeat •
bride, the choice of
diamond is a matter of
,investment sense. '
The difference between
the first-time bride's ring •
choice and the ring the
repeat bride selects is
usually in styling and
size. The repeat br de
usually seeks a ring ith
more sophisti ated
styling.
• • ` The' D e Bees' ' rese larch
has shown that a larger
percentage of repeat
brides have, rings with
smaller stones set .with
the major stone, rather
than the strictly
traditional solitaire on .a
thin band.
Size also plays an
important part in the
repeat bride's choice of
diamond
about communicating to
her fiance ' that larger
stones are becoming
more 'rare and that they
have for years ap-
preciated greatly over
time.
Another factor• in the . Whether young or 'of.a
celec_tion_,ata.larger'stone_certain ' age, •• brides
for the repeat marriage is almost universally (76
the fiance's age' and percent) choose diamond
wherewithal. ° He is no rings. The repeat bride,
longer ' stra-ggling and - this time with both feet on
usually wants to invest the ground, chooses a
more wisely. And too, larger stone for its rarity, ,•
research indicates that
diamond is an outward
show of both his regard
for his. wife -to -be and a
show of his ability to give
her the most important
stone he can afford.
Weddings should be
nicely catered affairs

,the -burden of stress •off
the .. bridal parents and
lets them enjoy them-
selves too, duringan
offspring's hour of glory.
Since few people can
live cin Love, the guests
and relatives who travel
long distances, to attend a
wedding should not be
expected to subsist on
tidbits and champagne.
A. caterers refresh

way to show appreciation
for their coming and an
easy way to feed the

fuss and bother while
entertaining.
The casual buffet
serves its purpose
well..•.allowing un-
structured and easy
hostessing, encouraging
intermingling of guests
who might like t to know
one another...and it is
surely an improvisation
on stuffy formality.
A catered breakfast
