HENSALL COUPLE CONTINUE MOTOR TRIP ACROSS PRAIRIES (This is the eighth in a ser- ies of article by Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Noakes, Hensall, of places they are visiting.) VETERAN, ALTA., April 10.— Sunday being nice and sunny, tem- perature 40 degrees and dry, I took a long walk around the tows and out to the new highway. There is a railway station and four grain elevators, but they don't grow so much grain here now, mainly stockraising. It has been a mild dry winter, and the stockmen are afraid if the rains don't come soon, pasture will be short and winter feed scarce. Veteran is a village of 300 popu- lation, mostly retired farmers, tak- ing a well-earned rest. We attend- ed the service in the little church on Sunday evening. There was a large congregation, even .though the weather had turned cold and it was snowing. On Monday it was 10 degrees above zero. The streets are "dirt," so I hope the moisture stays away for a few days longer. A farmer from near town told me he has between 800 and 900 acres of feed crop to sow, with two 15 - foot tillers—just he and his son— but said it will not take long. They have 200 branded Hereford cattle and feed a herd of yearlings for market. I asked how much pas- ture land he had and he said about 1,000 acres. Crops were poor last year, averaging about five bushels per acre. The land is light, so they do not plow much, just work the stubble in the spring which keeps the lana from blow- ing. To the north is a row of hills; about 10 miles distant there is a Hutterite Colony. There they have good land and farms of about 1,000 acres ---mixed farming. They have no television as the station at Ed- monton is 200 miles away, but they 'are constructing a relay sta- tion up in the hills. The commun- ity around here donated money to have it built. They named it the Satelite—perhaps by next year it will he working. What a busy week this has been, the reason being it is the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Pennington. Some older folk around Hensall will re- call them. "Andy" worked for James B. McLean on the London Road, near Kippen, from 1908 un- til about the New Year 1911; went back to England, returned a few months later and was married to Agnes Procter, April 13, 1911; came West to Edmonton in June, where they spent the rest of the summer and winter. In the spring of 1912 they went to Coro- nation by train (the end of the line at that time). They were laying rails southward, but the line was not finished until, the fall of 1913. As 'Andy recalls, they graded the ground and laid the tics on it. An elevator was built and the village of Veteran sprang up. They left Coronation by a tea m of horses and wagon, followed a wag- on trail for 22 miles and by this time they had a small baby. They got lost several times, but finally arrived at their homestead about dark. They farmed here and rais- ed nine children. Each fall they - had to drive a team 30 miles each way to a little coal mine and dig their own coal, the round trip tak- ing two days. Hail, drought and mosquitoes didn't help much, but these people had what it takes to make good. A son took over the farm in 1953, and the parents re- tired to Veteran — a wonderful achievement under great odds, and I might add, they arc hal, hearty and hapPy. Thursday afternoon was "open house" in the afternoon, and Shir- ley (granddaughter) poured tea for friends and neighbors who drop- ped in to chat about old times. "Grandma Lee" is a fine old lady, 87 years old. She loves to lend a helping hand when anything is going on, and is so kind everyone here refers to her as Grandma Lee. Excitement is running high these days around here, getting prepared for the big "do". The clubroom is to be scrubbed, tables to borrow, and be set up; ladies running in with their best silver- ware and dishes, Everybody likes to take part, and lend a hand. Our hostess is the most excited of all more than she was 50 years ago. On Friday, a 29 -pound turkey had to he prepared, dressing made, vegetables peeled, etc.; a fast trip to the hairdressers in the evening. About • 11 p.m., Someone thought of trying the turkey (for size) in the oven—the oven door would not close. That just about did it! What shall we do now? The turkey has to be started at 6 a.m. I thought but remembered what the big fish said to the little one: "Keep y15ur mouth shut and you won't get in- to trouble." However, the turkey was - roasting in the oven when I got up. The little lady had risen before 6 a.m. to go down to the clubroom to light a fire in the stove, but when she arrived she discovered she had forgotten her key; had to run home and get the key and back again. Weather: 10 degrees above zero. District Weddings HILDEi3RANT—.CORNWALL • HENSALL—Wedding vows were exchanged by Virginia Joan Corn- wall • and Marlin Wayne Hildebrant, of London, before the Rev. D. J. Firth, Hamilton Road Presbyter- ian Church, London, Friday, April 21st. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frances • Cornwall, London, and the groom is the son of Mrs. Mary Hildebrant, Hensall, and the late Alex Hildebrant. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a street -length gown of white organza over taffeta. Her shoulder -length veil of French illusion was caught to a crown of seed pearls and sequins, and she carried a bridal bouquet of red and white mums and carnations. Matron of honor, Mrs. Norman Mattson, Hensall, sister of the grooh, and bridesmaid, Mrs. Joe Nowasad, London, and junior bridesmaid, Miss Jaqueline Corn- wall, London, sister of the groom, were gowned identically in blue organza over taffeta with match- ing featherbands, and carried bou- quets of white and pink carna- tions. Norman Mattson, of Hensall, at- tended the groom, and Michael McMann and Robert Cornwall, of London, ushered guests. The reception for fifty guests was held at the Red Barn, Huron and Highbury Streets, London. For receiving, the bride's mother wore a pale green ensemble with acces- sories in white. The groom's moth- er chose a mauve gown with matching duster and beige acces- sories. Both wore corsages of white carnations. For travelling to Niagara Falls and the United States the bride changed to a blue suit with ac- cessories in beige, with which she wore a corsage of red and white carnations. They will reside in London. At 12 noon, 40 people, including the family, their wives and chil- dren and some relatives, sat down to a wonderful turkey dinner, with all the trimmings, and pie and ice cream for dessert. The local but- cher did''the carving, and some local ladies served a meal fit for -a king. Back at the home at 3 p.m. was "open house" 'till midnight, when about 180 friends and neighbors dropped in to extend their best wishes. Another meal was served —two turkeys and a ham, with home-made bread and buns (about two wheelbarrows full, I think). Such delicious buns! No one can make buns like Lucy can! About 6 p.m., 20 people went down to the clubroom for supper and cleaned up the cold turkey and pies; told a few stories about "remember when?"; washed the dishes, and back home until mid- night. About 10 people that had come a long distance stayed over- night. Some that had left 30 years ago when young men, remembered the jokes they played together. Space is limited to relate more than one of them. It seems there was a dance in the neighboring town, and the roads being nothing more than trails, three boys and three girls took the railway jigger to transport them to the dance. During the night there had been a sleet storm, so they had to push the jigger most of the way back. Now to get hack to the house! The table was centred with a beau- tiful three-tier wedding cake with tarts, cookies and sweets of every description. A side table held the beautiful gifts, including a nice sum of money, 85 anniversary cards, two scrolls, one from Pre- mier Manning of Alberta and an- other from Percy Page, Lieutenant - Governor of Alberta. 'The family gave them (Andy and Agnes) a lovely chesterfield and chair. This is the third golden wedding anniversary in Veteran since Janu- ary, and two more to come, one being a diamond anniversary, which is quite a record.
