was read by Mrs. Tom Ferguson.
To Mr. and Mrs, William Holland on
the occasion of their recent mar-
riage
Now Bill was thinking deeply
Not many months ago;
I'm tired of single blessedness, I
It's not good for me I know.
I'll not be a stern old bachelor
From matrirnony free,
Pll hunt me up a maiden
Who'll be suited just for me.
With this in mind he shook his fist
And firmly did declare,
I'll do it now or never,
So maidens all beware.
He dressed up in his best attire
Like Crusaders of old
And started bravely on his quest, I
No lover was more bold.
He polished up his car and rushed
out '
To the highway no limit to his speed
And off he hied to Wonnetta's house
To pop the question clear.
Will you be mine, my darling,
And marry me my dear?
Now Wonnetta's quite excited
By this time you may guess,
Looked up at her "Prince Charm-
ing
And shyly answered "yes"
'`Hurrah" said Bill,
I knew I couldn't miss,
I'll take no chance of forfeit, '
I'll seal it with a kiss,
Theyhurried to a minister,
To im their bliss they tol,
And very kindly asked him
Their happy lives to mould.
"I do" said Bill, contented,
"I will' said the blushing bride
And hand in hand they started
To face what e'er betide.
As through life we journey on,
Your kindness we'll appreciate.
We wish success to you and Bill
In your new home on highway
number eight. •
Tonight we all salute them,
-Girls, bring your gift in sight
Anel many years of happiness
We wish you both tonight.
Your Far Forum friends.

Hall, on Tuesday evening, friends
and neighbours gathered to honour
Mr. and Mrs. William Holland. An
evening of dancing with the bridal
dance, After lunch was served the
following address was read by Arn-
old Jamieson.
To Mr. and Mrs. William Holland:
While your cup of happiness has
doubtless been filled by the com-
pletion of those vows, "I do" and "I
will," it is the desire of your friends
and neighbours gathered here to-
night that that cup be not -full only,
but overflowing. To you Wonnetta.
we extend a sincerely cordial wel-
come to our community, knowing
that you will worthily uphold the
j honoured traditions of the Holland
family. That welcome is more hearty
because of our high regard for the
manly qualities of your husband.
No greater tribute can be given to
anyone than that which we pay to
Bill, that in all the neighbourhood
activities you have played your part
with honour to yourself and benefit
_to all. It is this esteem for you and
your wife and that loyalty which
such personalities engender in a
rural community that has impelled us
to gather tonight to offer congratu-
lations to pay this slight tribute to
your worth, and to ask you to ac-
cept as a tangible evidence of our
good wishes, this gift. May the spirit
in which it is profferted be the means
of binding us together in lasting
neighbourly friendship. Signed on
behalf of your friends and neigh-
bours.

sented with an attractive studio
couch. The groom expressed their
