The Seaforth News, 1954-09-09, Page 4Q1 THE SWQP,TI NEW THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER; 9, 1954 DUBLIN K --Eeker ell. t Y Pink and white glediioli and light- ed eandelebra adorned the beautiful altar of St;: Patrick's Church, Dub- lin, on 'Saturday morning, Sept, 4, when Miss Mita Bernadette young- est daughter of Mr. and Mfrs. John A. Eekert, Dublin, made her bridal vows to Mr, Keith Basil Kelly, son of Mr, and Mrs,' Fergus Kelly, Dub- lin. Rev. J. B. Ffoulkes, D.O;LL. offi- ciated at the ceremony and sang the Nuptial Mass. Mrs, William Lane presided at the organ, while the choir sang, "Pants Angolieus" and "Ave Maria" at the offertory and during the signing of the Register. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor -length period gown of chalk white nylon tulle and Rose Point lace, The fitted bodice was strapless and topped with a .shrug jacket of the lace with long tapered sleeves and mandarin collar. The voluminous skirt was of tulle with insets of lace. Her finger-tip illusion net veil was held in place by a shepherdess cap edged with seed pearls and she carried a cascade bouquet of red roses centred with white rose .buds and streamers, The matron of honor, Mrs, Jerome Kelly, Sebringville, sister of the bride, and the bridesmaid, Miss Nancy Kelly, sister of the bridegroom, were garb- ed in identical styled polonaise gowns of translucent lace and net with matching headdress in nile green and French lilac respectively, Their bodices were moulded and strapless under cap -sleeved jackets of lace. Their floor -length skirts were bouffant and trimmed with ruffles of net. They carried nose- gays of yellow mums, The diminu- tive flower -girl, Margaret Rose Ry- an, niece of the bride, wore a floor - length frock of canary yellow bro- caded taffeta with matching head- dress and mittens and carried a bask- et of mauve mixed flowers. The best man was Mr. Jack Kelly, brother of the bridegroom and the ushers were Mr. Robert Kelly and Mr. Jerry Eckert. Following the ceremony, dinner was served at the home of the bride's parents to the immediate relatives, and a reception was held during the afternoon and evening which included a large number of friends and relatives. The bride's table was centred by a three-tier wedding cake and white tapers, and the diningroom was decorated with pink and white streamers. For re- ceiving the bride's mother chose a frock of Rosewood faille with navy accessories and corsage of pink mums. The bridegroom's mother as- sisted wearing teal blue crepe with navy accessories and corsage of pink mums. For the honeymoon trip to South- ern Ontario and points in U.S.A.. the bride donned a navy blue gabar- dine suit with pink and blue acces- sories and corsage of red roses.

HURON LEADS WAY iN REFORESTATION Goderich on the Blue Witter High- way is a piece of tapestry on which . who nt a tree ' w' "hela s loves ,other: " p That being, so, the County: of Hur- on on is particularly blessed with men whose • civic responsibilities,day to day jobs, or summer -resident hobbies indicate, according to the tapestry, their love for their fellow moan. As Jim Anstay commented, wandering through opr tree -filled fields: "If you guys keep this up, in 100 years we'll have the forests of 100 years ago and be ready to give the place back to the Indians." According to S. R "Stu" Hamil- ton, zone forester for Perth, Oxford and Huron, Huron is probably as active as any municipality in the world in the matter of reforestation. Ontario leads the provinces, and Huron is the only one of the 26 comities to adopt the scheme under which county, township and province work hand-in-hand with private land- owners to get back once again some semblance of the vast forests which onee covered this land. Admittedly, it's a lot of fun and potentially pro- fitable for the landowner, But over the long run it will benefit the township, the town,'the county and the people as a whole. Hence, we assume, the statement; "he who plants a tree loves others". Personally, we love to see the trees growing, and watch them as care- fully as a mother hen does her chicks; we like to think of the birds and animals corning back and our creek running longer and stronger because the trees are there. We fall all over ourselves in thanking offi- cials for planting our fields, yet they consider landowners are doing there a favor in allowing their land for reforestation. When I tell a neigh- bor who has just paid 510 for one blue spruce that I've just had 10,- 000 white pine and ash planted for 510, he wants to know how quickly he can get in on this "racket" too. But it's no racket; it is simply in telligent thinking, planning and ac- tion in the interests of the peoples who will follow us. It is conserva- tion. This tree -planting program—and some 750,000 were planted last spring alone—is designed to do many things, according to Mr. Hamilton, who would like to see trees growing on every bit of submarginal land in the county. They are planted to 1, Restore forest cover. 2. Improve soil and prevent erosion. 3. Maintain or improve water supply. 4, Aid wildlife. 5. Supply or bring back forest - products industry. 6. Provide windbreaks and fuel. 7. Improve scenery and provide parkland. In short, to turn waste and wasted land into benefits for this and future generations. Mr. Hamilton is loud in his praise of Huron 'County, township and other officials, and county residents for their interest and active partici- pation in the conservation program. Because of official interest, some 200,000 trees have been planted an- nually for the past three years un- der the province -county -township scheme alone. It is operating only in this county. The county paye for the trees and half the cost of planting. The town- ship pays the other half of planting cost. The landowner's only charge is 51 per 1,000 for delivery of the trees. A maximum of 50 acres in any one township may be planted in any one year. The county owns a tree - planting machine and has a tree - planting ,crew headed up by Nelson McLarty, of Auburn, who has prob- ably planted more trees than any other roan. He is assisted by Art Youngblut, Auburn, and Court Kerr, of the same district. The forests 50 years hence will be a standing mon- ument to their personal labors. Mr. McLarty, who can call most trees olanted in the county within the past 30 years by their first name, is also a county tree commissioner. Eighteen or so of the province's 26 counties still work on the county - forest basis, frequently buying sub- marginal land to reforest. Huron also has 1,200 acres of county forest but in 1951 decided to buy no more such land, but go all out to aid pri- vate landowners. It's the only coun- ty to do so. Some 16 Huron town- ships are in on the scheme. Accoa'c!fing 'to Mr. Raanilton, ,90 per cent of the trees planted are evergreens, since experience has shown a survival rate for them of 85-95 per cent can be expected. The average hardwood "catch," is less than 50 per cent. White pine, scotch pine and white spruce are planted in the greatest amounts, with varying quantities of larch, jackpine and red pine. And each year the demand for trees•grows. Already the quotas for 1955 are filled, but those interested in 1950 planting are asked to get in touch with Mr. Hamilton, at Strat- ford. He is limited, of course, by the trees available, hut there is no more enthusiastic tree planter. Huron folly„ says. Mr. Hamilton, are very conservation minded. They are realizing rapidly the need and value of trees. They arc aware that any given area requiries at least 15 per cent woodland to give the proper balance for hest agricultural devel- opment. Huron Comity ha.. about 10 per cent. They are lc crninr, too, that trees properly planted around a farmhouse as a windbreak cut fuel rests as much 'is 25 per colt. They are learning that useless land can be a+eyrie useful, And :some day—though probably not in our time ---once again Huron will boast trees as big as those from which the logs of our home were hewn some 100 years ago.
