THE WESTERN FAIR The fiftieth 'anniversary year of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Char- les W. Parker was fittingly observed by the members of their family at a picnic held in Jaw6tt's 'Grove on Sunday afternoon, The exact date of the anniversary will, not be until December 22nd., but the inability af, some of the members of the family to be present at that time, seemed to, warrant this advanced date. Mr, and Mrs. Parker are the parents of nine children all of whom were present ex- cept Mrs. Larson (Margaret), of Naicam, Sask. The afternoon was perfect, this together with the beauty off the Grove, and the lake, as a background made a beautiful setting for an ev- ent of this kind. To a married life of fifty years devoted to their family it was appropriate indeed,. that so ,many of their children and grand- children should meet under conditions so ideal. It is not given to all mar- ried couples to spend a life of fifty years in unbroken comradeship Neither is it a common thing to raise' a family so large, all of whom have reached maturity, and into whose numbers death has made, ne inroads, These are .the blessings of life most dear. The lunch tables were tastily: de- corated for the occasion. Nothing was omitted that would . add to the comfort and pleasure of all,, At the end of the festivities, Mr. and Mrs Parker were presented with a .puree of 'money by the immediate- mem- bra ofthsir tinnily. The most glow- ing ing tribute however, to these worthy parents, were the smiling faces of little grandchildren, the more serious 'countenances of sons and daughters who in theirown way are meeting m of a life. problems • the P loin and Bellying Those, present tvere Mr. W.
