large .gathering of friends and rela-
tives.
The house was profuselydecorated

carnations, tulips.' and daffodils, gifts.
to the bride and groom of 50 years
ago, The presents were numerous
and beautiful, and a great many con-
gratulatory messages were alsore-
ceived.
A rather unique feature of the cele-
bration, was that this clay was also the
22nd wedding anniversary of their
oldest son, Chester,
It was in Ripley,. February 21st,
1883, that Miss Sabina Paul,, only
daughter of the Iate Rev. R. and Mrs.
Paul was married to Joseph Pugh,
son of the late H. C. and Mrs, Pugh,
of Bluevale. The officiating clergy-
man being the father of the bride,.'
Their union was .blessed by four sons,
Chester of Windsor; Clifford and f
Fared of Hamilton, and Paul of Can- t
ora, Sask. For '24' years after their t
INC
happy marriage : Mr. and Mrs. Pugh
lived at Bluevale, but since` that time
have residents of Wingham,
Mrs, A. Posliff poured tea in the
afternoon and Mrs. W, Haney in the
eerening, Mrs, W. J, Greer announ
ced the guests in the reception room
and Miss R, Day received at- the 'door
The three daughters-in-law and Miss
Alice Duff, a neice, assisted in the

ter, Peggy Pugh, also Mr. and Mrs,

shown in:arked improvement lately,
arid was able to receive and enjoy,

Motors and Trucks Still
Take aGatnbler•'s Chance
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
strong to protect the weak, the weak
still persist in taking a gambler's
chance in beating out the stronger, In
other words, despite warnings and
pleas, drivers of trucks and automo-
biles continue to attempt to push lo-
comotives and trains off the tracks
at crossings. Usually the automobile.
or truck conies off second hest, and
outside of property damage caused,
there were 37 lives lost and 170 per-
sons injured in highway crossing ac-
cidents on the Canadian National R.

, according to accident
figures recently made available, The
numberof automotive vehicles strik-
ing' trains in 1932 was 107; and incases where trains s >
truck automobiles.
or trucks, the number was 147. While,
there has been a progressive decrease'
in these classes of accidents, the ratio
of automobiles striking trains has not
kept pace with the improvements
shown in other classes of highway
ossirig accidents,
EXTENSION IS GIVEN`
ON CAR LICENSES
Grace, in the form of an extension
until March 15, has been granted to
motorists by Hon. Leopold Macaulay,
Minister of Highways, allowing mo-
torists to operate with their 1932
number plates until that date. An-
nouncing this extension Mr. Macaul-
ay added: "No further extension
should be expected by motorists."
This extension is the second to
have been granted this year: the or-
iginal "dead -line" of Feb. 1 was ex-
tended until Feb, 15th, when carne
the announcement of the further al-
lowance 'of' a calendar rnontli, Mr,
Macaulay observed that the original
extension had evidenced that people
would put off procuring their plates
until the final available day. This
trait, he said, was noticeable despite
the advice proffered not to wait un-
til the congestion of the last few
days.
