'The house, wasbeautifully decorat- ed with yellow streamers and ,with magnificent '.specimens of Moth giant and baby 'mums. In the dining room the e streamer r • s centred over the, table fo.ming a handsome .canopy. Miss Alnnie Taylor read an address to the bride and groom. The presents were both . numerous and costly, among which were a very beautiful '• floor lamp, signet rings for both the bride and groom, a number of pieces of sil- verware, and a purse of gold. Following is the address which was read; "Nov. 17, 1930. Dear Father and Mother, -We, your children, have assembled 'here today on the occasion of the fiftieth anniver's'ary of your, marriage. It is with mixed feelings, as the family are toot all able to be here, tuho • h not in .person, g they are. in hought and remembrance. We wish you to accept these gifts from your family, and with them goes the wish that He who has brought us all along the. way shall guide you in the years to cotr"le: The Family:" In the afternoon and evening -hosts of friends called 'to .extend congratu- lations to this ;popular couple, Mr. and. Birs. Taylor were married on November 17th, , Manse, Londesboro; by R'1580ev._ at James Lochead, the bridesmaid and .grooms- man being Miss Isabella Leitch and Mr. John Murray.

The News joins with a host of friends in offering congratulations and in wishing them many more hap- py anniversaries, BEATON'S BUTCHER SHOP BURGLARIZED. Removing_ a pane of glass from a window at the rear of Mr. Malcolm Beaton's butcher shop oil Main street, entry was made by thieves into the shop on Sunday night. The McCas- key Register System was removed through the back door, As the cash drawer contained about $16 in silver, it was not the financial loss, but the loss of the shop's accounts which were all contained in the register, that appeared to be the greatest dif- ficulty on Monday morning. Fortun ately, however, the burglar or burg lars, got rid of it before going very far.. Towards noon on Monday, Mr. Wilson Wright of Egmondville came' upon the register while driving his truck along. the sideroad, a anile and a -quarter east of town. Evidently the cash drawer was forced open, t money removed and .the whole regis-• ter dropped at the side of the cement culvert 'between be ween therailway ai way tracks and Mr, Wm., Oldfield's hoose in Tuckersmith. With the exception of the drawer, no damage was done. Constable Wlhitesides of Goderich was in town Monday investigating but as yet no trace has been, found. Y. P.

Under the heading, '`Beautiful Homes and Gardens of Edmonton," Mrs. A. B. Watt in the Edmonton Journal describes .thegarden of Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Lawrence, of that place. Mr, 'Lawrence is a brother of Mr, Herald Lawrence ,and the Misses Lawrence, and went to the West some years ago. In a recent issue of fpne of the ma- gazines given over to the beautiful ac- tivities of homes and )gardens, there was the most lovely illustration of .a "Garden of Memories" In- it was pictured the gartden, designed by Lady Ednam at Himley, in memory of her little son, Jereday Ward, who was run over and killed last year; el - so to, her mother-in-law, the late Countess of Dudley. t If you will remember, only this last July, Viscountess Ednam; was her- self a victim of the shocking air dis- aster at Meopham, Kept, when fiyin from Le Toquet to Croydon. The Marquis of Dufferin and Ave, Sir Ed- ward Ward and other distinguished personages were fellow -passengers on the ill-fated craft, 1 Part of Old Orchard Lt was to complete, the arrange- ments for this "Garden of Memories" that Lady Ednam had undertaken the fatal flight. i The garden is really part of a most heavenly orchard (yes orchards can be heavenly, particula :ly if they be beautifullyatended Engish orchards, with the old stone wall backgrounds, g and thegreattreesin e pee aver from gP g the countrty lanes.) You who love England can see it all. Butcan you see, too, the quiet pool in the centre of it) with the step- ping stones and rocky' margins, the Iris peeping up among the stones, and the myriad other .flowers tumbl- ing down to its edge, There too they laid Lady Ednam to rest beside its still waters. I have seen some of{ the finest ime- morials and monuments in the world. I have stolod beside the great Napo- leon's tomb. I have bent my utterly unworthy head with king and out- casts at the cenotaph. (How all of life and its 'mighty memories passes in review beside that modest shaft to the nation's chivalry.) I remember I seemed in one instant to see the in- dividual faces of every friend I had ever had who had paid the supreme sacrifice, Fields of riotous poppies seemed to float before me, and laugh- ing boys were talking to rne, and the terrible, ghastly days of the war were wfth me, I saw the soldier's plot here at home, In a brief moment, under such circumstances, all of life seems to pass 10 review before your. eyes. But when I saw that pictured "Gar- den of Memories," that living rem- embrance of the little son so rudely snatched away from his adoring ano- ther, I .thought I had looked on the. loveliest memorial in all the world. Lovely in Surroundings Doubtless under these self -same trees the child had romped, and play- ed and grown lovely with his sur- roundings. So would she always see him, life going en and becoming a part of the beauty about him. To live in trees and water, rather than in stoneh In growing things) Surely the soul .of the child has passed into that garden of memories, end I love to think that togother these .two, so close in life, rest and are somehow cognizant, of the deep and consoling beauty all about ,them. II thought of this garden on Sunday as I roamed around a garden out by tite old gravel pit. There Mr. and Mrs, Lawrence have their eight -acre nursery. It is in the most glorious location and while as gardens go, I don't suppose you would call it beautiful, things they are doing in it,. are so amazingly interesting, and are eventually going oin to make for or so much beautyin Edmonton, o ton that I simply py had to write one' more article along these lines before starting in on the houses. Those of us who in past years have just accepted gardens as wehave ac- cepted the sun and the stars and all other lovely natural manifestations, but who during the present season, have plunged into the game ourselves, and learned by the sweat of our brow, what work gardening entails, should pay a visit to this garden, if only to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, and learn what possibilities lie ahead of those who are really sincere in want- ing to make Edmonton one of the beauty spots in Canada. For years we have all raved over the gardens alta the coast. Theycould ld grow this and they could grow that. Too bad our season was so short. Hardly worth while attempting any- thingh Hardly worth while! And yet on Sunday I came home with English and French lavender in my button -hale. I saw holly growing sturdily. 8 saw blue and scarlet willows that looked as if a Japanese arts t an sf had painted each individual br ranch. I saw scarlet maple shrubs: that made a flaming glory of the hill- side. 'Curious rock plants I had never heard of, were there, and golden -rod, and cherries and plums growing on RALEIG Products. GORDON J. REYNOLDS Seaforth, Phone 144r14 • theone tree, I ate crab apples, and learned of asparagus crops boughht two years in advance, of such good quality is it, and in such demand. Everywhere they go, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence bring home all the lovely things they see to try them out in Alberta, Some of them have still to winter to see how they will withstand our long season, but these enthusi- astic gardeners have perfect faith in the ultimate outcome "No reason," they tell me, "why we can't have everything." These Experts Declare I saw gorgeous borders of the dwarf carragana, and I saw English box -wood, and I learned of new possible hedges that will go far to vary the landscape in years to come. Trees of every shape, size, and hue, were there, as well as the possibilities demonstrated ` of our own beautiful native shrubs, and such trees as continue to thrive after clearing. And I couldn't help remembering the vast excitement caused about twenty years ago, when Tommy Daly grew an apple out in 'Clover Bar. We almost declared a public holi- day. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence are strong on the survival of the fittest idea. They believe that if you have to coddle and nurse along your garden stuff until it becomes a real task, better to let those things go. -Grow whet will stand in the open, and take care of itself. And it is surprising what will. Broom From Coast From the coast they brought back same of the broom,and it looked as if it liked Edmoton for a home, quite as well as Victoria. 01 course this winter will decide that. IBut it was their grafting experi- ments that interested me most. Mrs. Lawrence is like a child in her en- thusiasm, for trying things out. And she showed me how grafting was done, and what fun it was watching the results. Her husband assures me that she is a better pruner than he is. In the light of what is being done all over Alberta by gardeners both amateur and professional, one smiles to hear Canada spoken of as "Our Lady of the Snows," and Alberta in particular, as sort of a glorified Arctic. Our season may be short, but I defy you to show nue lovelier results in an part of the world. At Oliver I learned what wattled fences and hedge -protection can do in ar- riving at results. How the keeping down : of weeds, can also keep down our enemy, the cut worm. And an- other lesson I have learned this summer is that only as each gardener expresses himself in his own individ- ual way, will he produce a garden that will be of permanent interest. Uniformity is death. In gardens, as in other respects, the old adage "to thine own self be true" holds goods In her "Garden of Memories,' Vis- countess Ednam expressed, her own beautiful idea of remembrance and immortality. In our gardens may not some of the soul of us enter in, so that when we too have passed on, trees and flowers will still survive to whisper to those who come after us, that we too loved beauty, and sought her diligently, and that where they walk today we too found happiness 1 "THE SHAD'OW ON THE STEPPE," The following, from the London Free Press is a review of the latest book written by Mrs. Billett, of Lon- don, daughter of Mrs, W. B. McLean, Egmondville One reads books either to be in- structed or entertained. If both of these objects can be pleasantly ach- ieved in one evening, then it is time well spent. Those who like adventure novels—end d who does not—with a dash of out-of-the-way eway information as well will enjoy Mabel Broughton B' - lett's latest book "The Shadow on the Steppe," just published b Hutchinson & Co., London, Eng, Mrs. Billett, author of "Calamity House," a mystery yarn the locale of. which was a small British Columbia town, is a native of Hensall, and has been a resident of London, Ontario, for the past couple of years. Her lat- est work was 'written while residing, here. She has demonstrated her versatil- ity and the fertility of her imagina- tion by writing this time of love and international intrigue in far-off, glam- ,crus Afghanistan, which, if you don't know it, lies to the northwest of India, .bounded on the north by. Rus- sia and on the west by Persia.. "The. Shadow on the Steppe, mist have entailed an enormous amount of labor; long and arduous research' and much reading, and close study was required' •before theauthlor could write the first chapter, and 'Mrs.SD- lett thoroughly equipped herself with authoritative knowledge before she did so, The action of the plot is as swift moving ov ng as the fiery Arab steeds that bear its characters to battle, the theme is continuously entertaining. Oriental in setting, its pattern is like an Oriental rug, an intricate mosaic of vivid colors and scenes. The char- acters are many and varied, from the yioung American,circus reared Haider' Kahn to the typical British army 'of- ficer, and the author handles them all deftly. There is no outstanding hero, but there are plenty, of deep, dark villains• Tt has .been said of Victoria Sackville West's "The Edwardians" that the "hero'' is the ancient and honorable house; it might be said. of Getting Ready for Christmas ?

It is directly in Russia's way to India, and the international political touch in the book is an interesting one, particularly in view of the deli- cate situation in India at the moment. Mrs. Billett describes typical Com- munist propaganda methods, and the counter -espionage ,of the British army's intelligence service. The au- thor describes the pride of race and birth characteristic of Afghanistan's chieftains; her own pride in the Brit- ish race which controls the vastest empire the world has ever known is very evident in her delineation of the young British officer who "came of. famous Lincolnshire family, which for generations had feared God, serv- ed the King and voted Tory." Yet she just as sympathetically portrays the leader of a hill tribe and a Ger- man officer -prince whose alliance with the Soviets provides much of the mechanism .of the plot. "The Shadow on the Steppe" should be of interest to London for its own sake, as well as the fact that the author wrote it here and lives here. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.
