ESTEEMED BRUSSELS COLPL•E
CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING
Air, and. Mos. James Fertile recall-
ed the happy occasion of their marri.
ago, when they marked the 50111 anni-
versary of that memorable event by a
golden wedding anniversary dinner
served to the family and close re-
la.tives at their home in Brussels on
Tuesday, March 20t1i.
After their wedding on March 20th,
1901 they settled on a farm on the
lath ennression of Grey township
and moved 10 1908 to the farm now
occupied by their son, William
Perrte, Another Aon, John, lives
on the 19111 concession of Grey.
The, anniversary dinner table was
centered by a three-tier wedding
cake and was set with china which
was used on the wedding table 50
years ago. Baskets of golden daf-
fodils and snapdragons In spring
shades decorated the home.
During the dff^mnonn the seven
graudehilrlren of the couple enacted
a monk wedding, wearing some of
the costumes worn by the principals
in the original wedding, and the
groom of 50 years ago delighted the
group with some Scotch readings
done in his own inimitable manner.
The following account of the
wedding was taken from the files
of the "Brussels Post" of March 28,
1901, and was read to the guests by
Jim, Perrte, son of air. and Mrs. Wm,
Petrie.
Go Wednesday evening of. lest,

ness the marriage of his estimable
daughter, Miss Jessie to James

g Y p
thelett cone ion, Precisely at 7
15t ss s y
o'clock, as the wedding march was
being played by Mies Minnie McNair
the bride was given away by her
father. The contacting parties
stood under an evergreen arch dec-
orated with roses and hung with a
floral bell. Rev, D. Fergie, of Wing -
hair, brother of the groom, than
securely tied the matrimonial knot
and Rev, D. B. McRLae,'of Cranbronk,
assisted, after whdoh congratulations
were expended and a dainty supper
served. The bride looked pretty in
a costume of white cashmere with
silk s'craf and pearl trimming and
wore orange blossoms in her hair.
She carried a bouquet of white car-
nations and ferns. The wedding
gifts were valuable and naeduI,
testifying to the high esteem in which
Mr. and Mrs, Perrie are held by. their
many friends. The evening .was
enjoya.hle spent in various amuse-
ments and at an early hour, the
company repaired to their several
Montes wishuing the wedded pair

HURON REPRESENTATIVE
COLORFUL MEMBER
John W, Hanna has added much
to the gaiety of life in the Legislat-
tire since ire first entered in 1945.
There has been more color in his
career than probably any other in
the house, Dignified and handsome,
he dresses most sedately, and early
in his clays here was labelled with
the tag "Senator."
He has been a.hard-working mem_
her on behalf of his Riding of Huron..
Bruce, but his attitude toward the
proceedings of the House has been
more casual. He has been' o steady
attendant, but he never has been
so impressed with. proceedings as t.n
be overawed. His wit -and repartee
have brightened up many an other-
wise dull sitting. His extra -mai
activities have been along the same
line.
He once made considerable
news when he :started the "Lizard
Club." A satire•on the serinuen•ess
of political life, it's members wore
silver lizard on their lapels. better
than two inches Tong and of the
type usually found on ladies' hand-
bags. Their program was very simple
- they were for "Tbe Little People,
Then it will be remembered, he
also made the press across Canaan
when. on one quiet evening here in
Toronto, be-- announced he was con-
testing the Federal Conservative
leadership, He was never seriously
in the -field, of course,- bill, as the
first declared candidate, he got
plenty of pubiteity.
Belling this front of apparent
frivolity, however, those close to
Tack have known that underneath be
has a strong seriousness. His latest
move bears this out. In a statement
be has come out with the proposal
that heart clinics shmild be establish-
ed throughout the Province. The
viot•im of a mild attack last summer,
he has a thorough knowledge of heart
disease and its effects today. He
points, out that in his home town of
Win;ghant, six of the town's leading
business men in one block alone.
are all suffering from heart eon.
Minns. It is the leading killer in
the Province, and in 1949 was I1I
responsible for 14,758 deaths, while
cancer in the sane year was re
spensible for 6,004 deaths, 10x
perience in the United States, with
clinics, has shown. that much of
this could be corrected the member
contends, and he believes there
should be clinics now in every large
centre, and every hospital,
