Marking the 80th birthday of
Montgomery 'Patrick, some fifty
Mends and -neighbors gathered at
his home, lot 4, eon. 6 Tocker-
smith, Monday evening when Mr.
and Mr. Patrick were honored
with a presentation.
Mr. Patrick, well-known Tucker -
smith faxfaer, enjoys good health,
,although d'iring the past two years
4b.an experienced difficulty with his
eyes, which has reedited in. his hav-
ing to give up his regular work.
The group enjoyed cards and
lunch, and afterwards Presented.Par.
and Mrs. Patrice with an electric
Irmaterand other gifts, The 'presen-
tations were made by John Me -
Naughton and John PeoKay, while
James Doig read the following ad-
dress:
"To Mr. and Mrs. Patrick: It is
not our intention to come her'e to -
might to tell you what splendid folk
we think you are. The fact that
you have good neighbors shows that
you are a good neighbor, and be-
ing a; good neighbor means being
a good cttizen. And how could you
be anything but respected residents
when you have a perfectly Irish
name linked up with genuine Scotch
ancestry? On one occasion, which,
zee deubt, Mrs. Patrick will recall,
she was addressed as Mrs. Ireland,
instead of Mrs. Patrick, when she
could eesily have been called Mrs.
Scotland.
"You have lived a goodly umber
of years in this community, and as
a little bird (not a sparrow) whis-
pered to us that Mr. Patrick was
having a birthday soon, we thought
it would be nice to help him cele-
brate it. As ladies do not have
birthdays after they're twenty-one,
we could not hope, to have a shne
far event for Mrs. Patrick, so have
included her in these festivities.
"And now, without ferther pre-
amble, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick, we
ask you to accept these offerings
with which g? or sincerest wishes
for many happy returns of your
birthday,. Mr. Patrick; and to you,
tars. Patrick, we extend our good
wishes. for continued health and
contentment.'
