NEWLYWEDS HONORED
AT WALTON HALL
On Friday evening July 9, more
than two hundred people gathered in
the Walton Community Hall to cele-
brate the recent marriage of Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Williamson. Mr. Camp-
bell Wey addressed the couple as
'follows: Mr. and Mrs. Williamson. A
few weeks ago we would have called
you Herb and Helen, but since then
you have attained a new status in
life, which brings, along with a new
title, many different experiences and
responsibilities, As each day, month,
and year, passes, we hope that you
will find a happy and permanent sol-
ution to each problem that confronts
you at home and in the community.
Many of us have had pleasant assoc-
iations with both of you while you
were growing up and we earnestly
desire that these will continue for
many years. You, Helen, will be
missed in the- vicinity of Winthrop,
where you have taken an active
part in the various social activities,
but we should be grateful if you
would continue here, too. Your gen-
erous
enerous , disposition was an encourage-
ment in each new project. Herb, your
unaffected humor has been a con-
stant source of amusement to all who
have been in contact with you. But
perhaps it would be well if you
would always remember not to ac-
quire any habits mentioned in this
poem entitled "Wives" by Edgar
Guest.
A wife is one who lifts from chairs
The hat and coat her husband wears,
Who cleans the bathroom day by day
And puts his razor blades away.
She finds pyjamas on the closet door,
She takes his shirts and studs and
ties,
;And hides then, right beneath his
eyes,
That when he'shunted near and far
He'll find them where they always
are.
A wife is one who understands
The endless care a man demands,
