H. Snell. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Spence, R.R. 6. St. Marys, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Johns, of R.R. 1, Centralia. Given in marriage by her father, the bride looked lovely in a floor-length gown of white net over satin with a bodice of nylon eyelet. She wore long matching gloves and a rhine­ stone trimmed cap held her double tiered veil and she car­ ried red roses. Her only attendant was her cousin, Miss Ruth Kemp, who wore a floor-length gown of forget-me-not blue net over taf­ feta with a tucked bodice and a shoulder stole with a rhinestone trimmed cap and she carried pink asters and gladioli. Best man was Howard Pym. Miss Helen Webber played the wed­ ding music. The reception was held at Monetta Menard’s, Exeter. Re­ ceiving the guests, the bride’s mother wore a rose dress with a corsage of yellow roses and the groom’s mother wore a blue dress with a corsage of red roses. For travelling, the bride wore a beige suit and a corsage of yellow roses and mums. Mr. and Mrs. Johns will re­ side on the groom’s farm, R.R. 1, Centralia. ■A fire JAM UPSIDE-DOW1N SHORTCAKES Combine 1 tbs. soft butter, c. thick jam, 1 tbs. lemon juice and, if desired, c. broken nut­ meats and divide between 6 greased individual baking dishes.

That’s one reason I so eagerly agreed to friend spouse’s suggestion that I go to the Blanshard historical celebra­ tion. The drive was made much more pleasant by a friend who agreed to come along and the unhurried ride over country roads made ideal atmosphere for a good chat. About midway be­ tween Kirkton and Rannoch, we got the conversation back to the event before us. ‘Just wliat will the celebration be about?” my friend asked. So I handed her a clipping which gave an outline of the affair.

About 75 ladies were present and all reported a good time. Mrs. Simms, president of Huron­ dale, spoke a few words of wel­ come and Mrs. Elgie of Hensall responded. Sports were conduct­ ed by Mrs. William Sillery, Mrs. Oscar Tuckey and Mrs. A. Moir. A peanut scramble was held for small children. A contest, “Forbidden Words”, was won by Mrs. Cross and Mrs. Geiger. Putting pins in papers— Mrs. Charlie Stevenson, Mrs. Walker; kicking slipper through the ring—Mrs. Bruce Tuckey; carrying broom on two fingers— Mrs. Oscar Tuckey. Mrs. William Dougall was best at drawing beans on plates and sides were choseji by Zurich and Hensall presidents for relays. Each side shared equally in the prizes. The youngest person pres­ ent was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Etherington. The young­ est housewife was Mrs. Mervin Dunn and the oldest, Mrs. Wil­ liam Pepper. Mrs, J. Patterson guessed best for the number of beans in a jar. The next regular meeting will be held September 24 at Huron­ dale school. Mrs. Ross Oke will be hostess. Friends Honor Doreen Chapman A miscellaneous shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Chapman to honor their daughter, Doreen, upon her ap­ proaching marriage. Contests and a mock wedding were the entertainment for the night. Mrs. Goodman acted as the minister, Mrs. J. Webster as bride, and Mrs. Pearl Henderson as groom. Following the mock wedding an address was read by Miss Agnes Cutting and baskets of gifts were opened by the bride-to-be. She thanked one and all and asked them to come to See them in their own home. Lunch was served by Mrs. Goodman, Mrs. Webster, Mrs. Henderson and Agnes Cutting, B.A. — | “Oh yes," she said, and started to read: “In the Rannoch shed, Friday, August 29 . . . But yes­ terday was only August 25! Which makes this—” “—Tuesday, August 26,” 1 whispered with a silly expression on my face. We were still laugh­ ing when we saw Rannoch ahead. We stopped for some ice cream. It seemed ridiculous to come that far just to turn around and go home. “Hear your having a big cele- Ifration Friday,” I gingerly said to the man behind the counter. “Yup,” he replied; “guess they’ll start getting it ready to­ morrow.” He didn’t understand my burst of laughter at all, and he was still shaking his Khead as we drove away. Still, it was a lovely night for a drive and better than staying home with the ironing. » * * There was a full harvest moon scheduled for Wednesday. I guess that touches the romantic side of most people. But at the wrong psychological moment, the clatter that burst down the street made me think just how fortunate grandmother was. She was able to enjoy that same moon from behind the slow steady pacing of a horse rather than from the breezy jolting of a stepped-up hot rod. * * * * A service of thanksgiving for the victory in the Battle of Bri­ tain in 1940 will be held in Westminster Abbey Sunday, Sep­ tember 21. * * * * The Pantry The Department of Agricul­ ture reminds us that pork is in good supply now and the home economist suggests spareribs for a change. She says they should be browned first for 30 minutes uncovered in a 350° oven then covered and cooked for about 30 more minutes in a sauce. Then, the pan should be un-s covered and the spareribs cooked 20 minutes longer or until they are crisp and brown. Here’s her recipe for barbecue sauce. Good for about two pounds of spare­ ribs. Barbecue Sauce 2 cups canned tomatoes 1 tablespoon spicy meat sauce S teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons vinegar cup chopped onion Salt and pepper to taste Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. 4 ♦ * „ * Freezing Peaches Frozen peaches are a very ac­ ceptable product. Peaches dis­ color readily and require quick, careful handling and special treatment to prevent darkening. The following method has been found effective. Use 200 milligrams of ascor­ bic acid per cup of syrup. Crush tablets and dissolve in Syrup. While the use of ascorbic acid will prevent discoloration lit peaches, it adds considerably to the cost. To freeze peaches, choose firm ripe peaches, blanch in boiling water one-half to one minute then dip in cold water. Remove skins and pits, slice fruit directly into syrup in con­ tainers.

Mrs. Everett Skinner read the scripture and Miss Hazel Spar­ ling played a piano solo. Mrs. Franklin Skinner read a story.

The meet­ ing was closed with prayer. A penny auction was held and a lovely lunch was served at the close with “D” group in charge. Sports, Games Featured At Hern Reunion The Hern reunion was held on Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hern with a splendid attendance. Mrs. George Jaques, as president, asked that the names of our departed mem­ bers be read, after which a moment of silence was observed. A short program followed.
