It was sunny but "mighty poor
Sleighing" on the day fifty years
ago . when • young Geordie
Campbell married the girl next
door, Esther (Essie) Kerr. That
was March 14, 1928 and the
wedding party travelled from the
seventh of McKillop to the manse
at Walton for the ceremony when
Rev. .W,J. M'aines officiated,
Witnesses were' her brother
Eldin and the late Esther
Dorrance, a cousin.
A wedding dinner at the home
of Esther Campbell's parents,
William and Sarah (Bepttie) Kerr
followed the beremony and 'then
guests moved next door to the
Campbell house for a reception.
"We danced all night," Geordie
remembers. "It was raining and
no one wanted to go home,"
- The• couple still live in that

bought by Campbells from the

in his eye. ,
' Mrs. Campbell, a member of
Seaforth's Rebekah Lodge since
1949, is also a •life member of
Cavan. United Church U.C.W.
She's known as a special friend to
the young children Whose parents

George was first'elected to the
local school board before he was

All their ()descendants except

honour Friday night at the
Stratford Country Club. More
than 100 neighbors, friends and
other relatives also attended.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were
presented with a-colour T.V. by
Ross Gordon on behalf of the
crowd.
There's no-- secret, the
Campbells say, to - fifty happy
years of marriage. "We just keep
going one day at a time." But life
is much easier now, they agree,
than 'during the Depression when
they were first married.

events the occasion commemorates,
Ninety-two percent, however, 'were sure it

For increasing numbers of Canadians, too,
Easter is becoming just another holiday. Good
Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday
make a convenient' long week end on whin to
take short trips.
This year they come at end of the March
break, thus adding a few days to'the annual
school holiday. In Huron County, though,
many Secondary School Students and their
parents think they have had more than enough
time away from school.. and the March break,
including the Easter holiday, doesn't hold the
same promise of escape kw them. •
