Lubbers, in Trinity Anglican, Church, Mit- chell, on Friday, April 20, at 3:00 o'clock. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Benjamins, R.R. 5, Stratford, and the groom is the son of Mrs. S. A. Lubbers, of Wallaceburg. The bride wore a floor -length gown of white lace and nylon net over taffeta.

Very few are any better, and nearly all of them are a whole lot worse. ' They are staggered all over the red dust -laden landscape, helter-skelter. Some are planked right smack in the centre of a field, while others lean against a corner post. Others peek out from. between scrubby.. bushes in mos- quito -ridden swampland. They are weather beaten, ..oft times without a window, very seldom a front step, and the chimneys are some- times burnt off almost down to the sway-back roofline. The negroes seem to be matter- of-fact about their situation. One young man, who' worked on the highway, flagged us, down. He had on tattered clothes and shabby rummage -sale shoes, but on his face he had a smile twelve piano keys wide. They are not dirty. be- cause the washings hanging from the lines are very clean. The rhy- thm of their souls can be seen in the way they slowly saunter from one place to another. They don't carry a shovel over the shoulder as a person would around here; they simply drag it along after RUMMAGE SALE The Ladies' Guild of St. Thomas' Church are hold- ing a RUMMAGE SALE in the Anglican Parish Hall —on— Saturday, April 28 Vtiosa, ALWAYS FRESH !

Samples are; "Little Muddy Creek", and "Four Hole Swamp." .In contrast are tie harsh rude signs of the pres- ent-day. such as, `If you want to kill yourself, get off the highway" and "Don't throw your butts out the window." It is 1`a solutely deplorable that a race of ans should inherit such a low standard of living. Most of the sections they live in could not support half the number of whites. The best crop we noticed were picaninnies. They are blessed with, an over -abundance of them—little black curly -headed tykes that would almost tear your heart out to see them in such squalid condi- tions—no great hope of betterin.g themselves, and no real incentive to do so. Farming by negro standards is very simple and very slow. You'll see a colored man Ieaning on a, very crude ancient plow half 'hop- ing the ragged old.. mule will not disturb himself too greatly. I wanted to take a picture of one such set-up, but as they were` both at the other end of the field I found I couldn't wait. It would more than likely have been too dark by the time they got up to where I was waiting. Bird watchers would enjoy the many fine feathered birds in the negro country. Scarlet Tannagers are plentiful, and the Mocking Bird greets the early riser with his wonderful melody. Not all are pretty. Vultures fight and tear at the carrion flesh of dead animals killed along the highway—a repul- sive bird that does not shy away too much when you drive along. When we were driving through Georgia, dust from the fields was so thick we were forced to close the windows of the car. It made it quite warm in the car, but it was better than the swirling red film that almost obscured our vi- sion, I was taking a picture of an old darkie in front of a' very large house in South Carolina when a young lady drove past and said to us, "How you all like our lis' ole one-horse town?" Her south- ern' drawl was musical, but it apt- ly described the place to a tee. Time had put its finger on the town, and it was content to with- draw to the shadow of the past. Spanish moss enshrouds many of the trees of the Carolinas. It hangs in ghost-like tenacles from the topmost branch and covers the entire tree, until it finally takes over the whole outline. Pretty at first but. like the vultures, not a desirable thing. We drove up the Atlantic coast and finally the shacks of the ne- groes were replaced by better buildings. ' Azaelas and Camelias, which were in abundance around -some of the better homes in Char- leston, were left behind. Cherry trees were in blossom up as' far as Washington. From there towards home; flowers and foliage began to taper off. When we .crossed back into Canada, there was some new - turned soil and it looked mighty good indeed.. Mighty, mighty good! street -length dress was of pink acetate. She wore white accessor- ies, and carried a bouquet of white mums. Mr. Peter Lubbers, Wallaceburg, brother of the groom, was best man. Wedding music was played by Mr. -Carl DeBoer, of Seaforth. In the evening, 100 guests were pres- ent for the reception at the Town Hall, Mitchell, where the bride's and groom's gifts were displayed. Guests. were present from Wallace - burg, Sarnia, Chatham, St. Thomas, Hamilton, Stratford and Seaforth. The couple will reside at R.R. 1, Seaforth. LOCAL. :BRIEFS Mr. and Mrs. c!.
