Mr. and Mrs. John McAsh,
Varna, celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary, Sunday,.
with an open house, at their
er Myrtle Keys at the bride's
home.
Mr. McAsh married the form -
home in Seaforth, on July 18,
1916. The late brother of the
bride, Dr. J. M. Keys, and the
late Rev. James Foot, Exeter,
officiated at the ceremony.

and Mrs. McAsh is the daugh-
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. McAsh recalls that when
they went to Detroit on their
honeymoon it was hotter than
it has been for the last few
weeks.
The couple now live next to
the general store in Varna
which Mr. McAsh ran from 1915
-until he retired in 1946. Prior
to running his own store he
had worked at a store in Mich-
igan. Mr. McAsh also operated
the post office in. Varna from
1915 until 1961.
He said there has not been
too much change in Varna in
his years there but added the
population used to be higher
than it is now.
Mr. and Mrs. McAsh have
two sons. Bill now runs the
store his father operated for
31 years and Floyd lives in
Hamilton. They have four
grandchildren.

They had rented the summer

Visitors at the home of yours
truly and Mrs. Ducharme on

sor, Mr. and Mrs. John Scheyer,
and during their visit around

Mrs. Don Masse and their
family.
Holiday Time
The months of July and Au-
gust are the two months which
people with means and time
months are also taken for holi-
days but they are not so agree-
able. Weather is more change-
able and sometimes chilly for
bathing, July and August —
the two full summer months —
are warmer and more agree-
able for those who come near
a lake or stream so that at all
time the water is warmer and
so is the air, and after coming
out from their dip they can
stretch out on a blanket on the
beach for a suntan. All of that
is pleasing for those who leave
shop or office work for months.
The change is beneficial to
them, returning to their work
much refreshed and awaiting
for another year to pass on to
enjoy, if all is well, another
vacation in the future.
We believe there is no one
more worthy of taking off for
a few weeks than the editor
and publisher of a paper. A
break means much to them to
get away from their office,
sometimes from criticism for
what they publish for the many
readers of the paper. There is
always something printed which
does not please some of their
readers even though it is the
official organ of the surround-
ing community, therefore a
break away to them will mean
new vigor when again they re-
sume their work.
When speaking of criticism
the correspondents who are
sending in their weekly budget
are also many times criticized
for the reporting of such things
as the movement and going
about of the people in the dis-
trict. At times they feel of-
fended giving the impression
to the writers that they are
surpassing their rights. Maybe
so but since we are blessed of
living in a land of freedom we
take advantage of it. Publish-
ers and reports, when in error
they are always ready to make
amendments to their writing
and printing and to submit and
ready to apologize for causing
grievances due to their mis-
takes on their part. With that
in mind it should be agreeable
to all.

wishes. Last but not least they
want to thank God for having

IT'S THE "A" THAT COUNTS
Most spring pasture and first cut hay has been good,
BUT with 80-90 degree weather and limited rainfall, forage
stands are getting dryer, tougher and less nutritious.
They begin to lack not only protein but also VITAMIN
"A" for proper roughage digestion by the rumen. ._Avoid
a drop in production and a loss in your milk cheque during
summer months.
Switch to SHUR-GAIN Dairy Feed fortified
with Vitamin "A".
