BOMSHf THE PEOPLE’S BANK—1942MARK—GOLDING NUPTIALS One of this season's smartest wed­ dings was solemnized Saturday af­ ternoon when Dorothy Annis Gold­ ing, of London, daughter of W. H. Golding, M.P., and Mrs. Golding, of Seaforth, was married to Sub-Lieut. James C. Mark, son of Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Mark, of London. The ser­ vice was held in Metropolitan Un­ ited church which was attractively decorated with gladioli in pastel shades. Dr. D. W. E. MacNiveu of­ ficiated. and T. C.

The lovely young bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was charming in traditional white, in draped silk jersey with sweet­ heart neckline and sleeves.

After the wedding a reception was held at Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. The guests were received by the bride’s mother who wore a chic street-length gown of black shadow crepe with cartwheel hat and a cor­ sage of Rapture roses and sweet peas. The groom’s mother, wear­ ing an attractive ensemble, of navy sheer with a corsage of Better Times roses and sweet peas, received with Mrs. Golding.

Cripples by the score have come into the clinics, laid aside their crutches and canes and climb­ ed ppon the white surgical tables. Though there is an age limit, don­ ors both too young and too old have volunteered. Among the regular donors in To­ ronto is the driver of a coal truck. At regular intervals he stops his truck in front of the clinic and goes in to give another pint of his blood. Bread wagons, butcher, carts and ice wagons are often seen parked out­ side the clinic while their drivers are inside giving to the cause.

Since January, 1940, over 32,000 donations of* blood have been re­ ceived at the Toronto clinic alone. The clinic is open four hours a day. In this time^ an average of 260 donors are taken care of. Simple arithmetic shows that it takes ap­ proximately one* minute to handle one donor. The clinics are operat­ ed on modern assembly line prin­ ciples.

At present we have retreating Russia, the. cap­ ture of the Ukraine and the partially occupied Causasus mountains. Should the Ukraine be finally subjugated by the Germans, Russia will have lost her granary. Should the Caucasus fall into-Axis hands Russia and her friends will have lost their great oil line, India is practically in rebellion. Surely the picture is grim enough. Head- Ines in the daily papers and radio messages have not given us all the blue colors. We may as well own the corn. Just how terrible are the days ahead we do not care'to admit. The first ray of hope in sight is the faqt that Britishers and Americans are waking up to the fact that we really are at war. Little by little we are coming to see that this is not a skirmish with a few malcontents but a bitter war which means the extermination of either, or of both Germany , and Great Britain. The second cause for hope is that the Anglo-Saxons, though late in the day, are united, and united whole-heartedly. ' The third cause for hope is that some few folk in Anglo-Saxondom are getting busy about the extremely perilous situation. We have rea­ son to believe that soon we’ll be really putting our back into the affair. As soon as we see how great is our peril we’ll cut out the frills and cushy methods that obstruct us so far and get down to ways and means of making a serious effort and so turn defeat into victory. The danger of the hour is our "insistence upon 'Ojir being nice and comfortable in a contest in which- only stout-hearted, wisely-led warriors can obtain success.

Largely through his efforts the people of London Were induced to invest in the company to the extent of $32,000, a large sum in those days. The road was constructed from London to the south side of Bid- dulph Township, a distance of 13 i miles and toll gates were erected, the proceeds to pay for the original cost of the road and its upkeep. The road was a huge success and was an incalculable boon to the devel­ opment of the Huron peninsula. However, the day of its usefulness Just bonfire lage of ed the end of an era in the develop ment of communications and tr ,portation in Western Ontario, was on the evening of July 1907, that the toll gates on Proof Line road (now forming part of the highways system of the pro­ vince north of London) were stack­ ed in a heap at Arva, then known as St. John’s village and the torch applied, after a program of festiv­ ities and speeches by local authori­ ties, Thus it was that the County of Middlesex said a long, but not a inuwt5vei.
