60th Anniversary
Mn and Mrs. 17l1 Rapien
of
Brodhagen were honored at a
family dinner at 'the home .of
their son-111•law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. pdwin Gloor, RIZ 1,
Bornholm, on Saturday evening,
en their 60th wedding anniver-
eery,
They were married in St. Pet-
er's Lutheran Church, Brodhageih,'
on Nov. 12, 1901, by the late Rev.
Herman Weigand, Following
their marriage, they farmed in
McKillop, Twp., until their retire-
ment 25 years }go when they
moved to Bradhagen. Mrs. Replan
is the formerWilhelmine Hemme
of McKillop,,
For Mr. Rapier, Sunday was a
double occasion. He also cele-
brated his 85th birthday. Mrs.
Rapien is 83. They have three.
daughters and one son: Mrs.
Norman (Hazel) Hoffineyer, Se-
bringville; Mrs. Norman (Loret-
ta) Wolfe, Milverton; Mrs. Ed-
win (Doris) Gloor, RR 1, Born-
holm, and Clarence, on the home
farm, There are 13 grandchildren,
five great grandchildren, Mr, and
Mrs, Rapien enjoy good health al-
though Mrs. Rapien suffered a
broken aft recently, She lilies
knitting and making mats. Mr. Ra-
p town Ra-
pien may be seen up t w every
day chatting with the people in
the community.
In remembering the date of
their marriage, Mr. Rapien said
they hired a two -horse cab from
Seaforth to take them to and
from the church. The weather
was good that day but the next
day brought quite a snow storm,
About 34 members of the fam-
ily gathered on Saturday evening
for a quiet celebration. The wed-
ding cake was made by Mrs,
Lloyd Gloor and decorated by
Mrs. Wilfred Feltz both of Logan.
On Sunday afternoon, the couple
held open house in their own
hens for friends and neighbors.
Last Wednesday morning, at
the O•2',A, Annual it was Wino;m-

ing figure and burden bearer in
the cheese industry, was removed
from his Hotel room to hospital
in Toronto suffering what we sin-
cerely hope is a slight heart at•
tack.
These men along with their
families have made many sacri-
(ices for the betterment of Agri-
cultural Producers yet we were
told that there is a larger per-
centage of borrowed capital for
Agricultural production, more de -
fitment accounts at feed mills,
and more hack taxes on farms
than at any time in history, That
we would have been worse off
without the efforts of these men.
and many others llke them we
can be sure. How much worse
off, we will never know.
Just as those, whom we re-
member on November 11th left us
a challenge so do those, who.
have been our farm leaders, leave
us a challenge.
That we have failed is apparent
sines, after some 15 years of un-
precedented abundant harvests,
we have neither found prosperity
ourselves nor succeeded in re-
lieving the hunger, of many mil-
lions throughout the world.
We must not give up. In con-
tinuing effort to solve our .prob-
lems many farmers,.who no doubt
could have found plenty to keep
them busy at home, took time out
to attend the O.F.A. Annual Meet-
ing in Toronto last week.
Too often we feel we have done
our part when we have paid our
membership but our active par-
ticipation and expression of our
ideas are even more necessary if
we are to accomplish the task
that those, who have gone before,
have entrusted to us.
FEDERATION NEWS
With thoughts of Rimem-
brance Day in mind as I write
this the poem "In Flanders Field"
is most appropriate. I feel so of-
ten that we only remember the
pain and the sorrow at the loss
of loved ones that this day com-
memorates. Let us also remem-
ber they passed a torch to us to
uphold. That we failed in this sac-
red trust is amply proven by the
last war and re -proven in the
current state of world affairs,
World affairs are always a
little bewildering to most of us
but this same idea was brought
much closer to home this past
week,
The passing of Cliff Weaver,
a man devoted to the Dairy Indu-
stry for many years, was a decid-
ed shock. He was not an old man
yet the strain of years of respon-
sibility in Dairy Industry welfare
had taken their toll which result-
ed in a sudden fatal heart attack.

HOW MANY ARE BANK CUSTOMERS?
A safe guess would be every one of them That's because, in Canada,
practically everybody has regular dealings with a chartered bank /Deposit
accounts number more than 121 million-- or better than one for every
adult. And on the books of the banks at any one time are 1,800,000 loans
for just about every personal and commercial purpose /Through
5,000 branches, from one end of the country to the other, the chartered
banks bring a full banking service within the reach of everyone.
