ANNIVERSARY MARKED BY
MR.AND MRS. FRED PEPPER
Mr. and Mrs, Fred Pepper cele-
brated the 45th anniversary of their
wedding at the home of •their son and
daughter-in-law, Mr, and Mrs. Walt-
er Pepper, 2nd con. Tuckersmith, on
April 3rd, The occasion was marked
by 25 relatives attending a dinner at
which Mr. and Mrs. Frank Layton,
Clinton, the bridal attendants of 45
years ago were present. The cele-
brants were the recipients of many
gifts, cards and flowers.
The wedding table was centred
with a wedding cake with blue can-
dles and blue streamers.
Before moving to Clinton almost
three years ago, they resided in
Tuckersmith twp. where their son
resides. For Mrs. Pepper, this farm
was not only her birthplace, 67 years
ago, but the home where she was
married 22 years later, and now 45
years after, the home where she was
to mark the anniversary of that wed-
ding.
She is the former Mary Layton, a
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Francis Layton, and ter husband,
who was born 66 years ago in Tuck-
ersmith, is a son of the late Mr. and
Mrs, Roger Pepper, Tuckersmith.
Following their marriage they farm-
ed in Tuckersmith until retiring.
Present forth° anniversary were
their son Walter, their daughter,
MTs. Austin Matheson, Seaforth, and
their three grandchildren, as well as
Mrs. Pepper's five brothers and
Mr. Pepper's two brothers and two
sisters; Mr. Charles Layton, Toronto;
Mr. and .Mrs. John Layton, London;
Mr. and Mrs. George Layton, Exet-
er; Mr. "and Mrs. Walter Layton,
Brucefield; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lay-
ton, Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pep-
per, Tuckersmith; Mr. and Mrs. Al-
bert Pepper, Egmondville; Mr. and
Mr's. Howard Crich. The only ab-
sent brother was Mr. John Pepper of
Brucefield, at present in Florida.
The brothers and sisters presented
their with a table lamp and tray,
and from the family they received a
clothes hamper and kitchen stool,
also an electric clock.
The best man of 45 years ago is a
brother of Mrs. Pepper and the
bridesmaid -is a sister of Mr. Pepper,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Layton, of Clin-
ton. The following February, after
Mr. and Mrs. Pepper's wedding, they
were to be attendants at their brides-
maid's and best man's wedding, but
due to a severe snow storm which
blocked roads it was impossible.
In Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Pepper
are members of the Ontario St.
United 'Church. Both keep in excel-
lent health and fully enjoy life.
Following is the address:
We have come here to honor dear
Mary _and Fred, who for forty-five
years have been happily wed. Their
first years of- toil brought content-
ment and joy, and to add to their
bliss came a girl and a boy. When
busy and happy the years swiftly
pass, too soon they have grown, the
lad and the lass. The man and the
woman find loves of their own and
with their companions they seek a
new home. The hearts of their par-
ents go back to the days when their
children brought joy with their
sweet, merry ways, and they long
for the past with their children
once more, thinking life cannot
bring the rich pleasures of yore.
Then grandchildren's. cute ways the
grandparents please, and they think
there were never such children as
these! So, forty-five years you've
moved pleasantly through, and to-
day we have come to congratulate
you, and to bring you this lamp as
a token of love from your sisters
and brothers, and hope it may prove
as useful and helpful as the one
that turned low for two happy lovers
in nights long ago, We also have
brought you a vase and a tray which
Mary will use in her own gracious
way. With our gifts go best wishes
from all, most sincere, May you live
on together for many a year.

A. E. NELSON DEFENDS
MODERN EDUCATION:
A. E. Nelson, Stratford, recently
retired .public school inspector for
Perth North, was guest speaker at
the dinner meeting of the Men's
Club of First Presbyterian Church,
Tuesday evening. A veteran in the
field of education, he ably and hum-
orously dealt with his . topic "A
School Mani Talks Back", in which
he utterly disagreed with a recent
magazine article by Dr. Hume that
today's schools are ruining our chil-
dren. Some of the greatest improve-
ments he sees today are the method
of teaching reading, teaching of
music and art as regular subjects,
not classing them as fads and frills,
and in the method of discipline.
There has been great advancement
in dealing with children, especially
backward children, In considering
discipline, the speaker said discip-
line shows the greatest improvement
today by placing responsibility on
the child as early and often as pos- 1
sible. In conclusion, he said: "I am
satisfied that the great advance in l
the school business •causes our chil-
dren to be better fitted for life than
you or I were." •
Mr. Nelson was introduced by D.
N. Eastman, public school principal, I
and F. A. Dobson conveyed thanks
on behalf of the club, Raymond
McLeod, of high school staff, ex •

SURVEY NEW ROUTE
FOR NO. 8 HIGHWAY
Engineers from the • Ontario De-
partment of Highways have been
making a survey this week for a pro-
posed new route for No. 8 Highway
just west of .Seaforth. If the new
route is adopted it will eliminate the
three turns in the road at Harpur-
hey. It is understood the route sur-
veyed would make necessary the
moving of at least one residence. It
would also mean the moving of the
Lawrence Drain which for some dis-
tance is on the line of path. There is
quick sand at one point, but quick
sand is no longer a serious obstacle,
road builders say. Houses, barns,
fences, are being measured on the
north side of the highway at Har-
purhey.
It is also reported that a survey
is being made for easing the danger-
ous turns between Holmesville and
Goderich.
The new road would run from the
corner at Seaforth town limits
straight across to the corner at Jas.
F. Scott's farm.
