SEER LICENSE
AT GOD,ERICH
Zurich Also Has License
On Friday last for the first time
in twenty years, beer was on sale leg-
ally in Huron County, The Bedford
Hotel in Goderich has received a bev-
erage room license and a similar lic-
ense has been granted in Zurich.
Mr. Odette, the one man liquor
Commission, received from the God-
erich Council, a request that Goderich
be a licensed town. Goderich never
carried local option. After receiving
this petition the license was granted,
Apparently in Canada Temperance
areas such as Peel and Huron count-
ies licehses are not being granted ex-
cept where local option has not car-
ried and then only when the muncip-
al Council askes for it.
Goderich Council received a petit-
ion from its citizens,asking that God-
erich become a licensed town and no
doubt` this influenced them in their
request to the Liquor 'Gomniission
So far there has not been any public
demand here that a license be granted.

WEDDINGS
Gill - Weishar
The Sacred Heart Church, ;Tees -
water was the scene of a very pretty
wedding when Margaret Venetia, only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Weishar became the bride of Thomas
Joseph Gill of Walkerton, only son
of the late Mr. and Mrs, James Gill.
Rev. Father Egan performed the cer-
emony and sang the nuptial High
Mass.
The Church was decorated with
ferns and gladioli, and white ribbon
marked the guest pews. The bridal
party assembled before the altar to
the strains of Lohengrin's Bridal
Chorus played by Miss Gertrude
Weishar of Ottawa. The, bride, given
in marriage by her brother Lloyd:,
was lovely in her wedding gown of
french sills net over ivory satin, made
with shoulder nape and full ankle
length skirt forming a short train.
Her long veil of embroidered tulle
caught with orange blossoms in cap
effect, fell in graceful folds covering
the train. She wore slippers of ivory
faille with satin inlays, and long white
gloves. Miss Evelyn Cronin cousin
of the bride acted as bridesmaid: She
was becomingly attired in flowing
yacht bkie Moussline-de-Soie made
with shoulder cape and edged with
clusters of tiny ruffles. Her, hat was
white mohair with lace brim and hand
rolled organdy flowers, white moire
shoes and long white kid gloves coni;
pleted her attire, She carried premier
roses. Mr. James Weishar attended
the groom:.
At the Offertory, Mrs. Goetz and
Mrs. Marrs sang "Ave Marie" in a
duet, and at Communion the choir
sang "Veni Jesu Amor. Mi".
After the ceremony the bridal party'
returned to the home of the bride's
parents. The table over which a large
white wedding bell was suspended
was pretty in a colour scheme of pink
and white and centred with a four
story wedding cake. Pink tapers in
silver holders and a large silver bas-
ket of roses added to the effect,
