Dr. W. J. Clark, rector of First Presbyterian Church, Lon­ don, united in marriage Chris­ tina Geddes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Geddes, Wood- stock, and Dr. W. T. Banting, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Banting, Ailsa Craig. Sixty years later, Sunday, September 7, over 200 friends and neighbors gathered at the Lucan Community Memorial Centre to honor the “bride and groom” and to offer their con­ gratulations and best wishes for many more years of happiness together. It was a wonderful occasion in the life of the community as few couples ever reach the six­ tieth year together. Of, those 60 years, the doctor has spent 50 in Lucan bringing many into the world and standing by as many, He is still very active and few would ever guess he has long since passed his foui' score years. Mrs. Banting has for many years suffered with rheu­ matism, but in spite of suffering is ever bright and cheerful. The stage of the auditorium was lined with baskets of flow­ ers making a festive background for the tea table with its large wedding cake. Among the gifts presented to the Dr. and Mrs. Banting were a lamp, smoking set, foot stool, clock and purse of money. Attached to the latter was a card with a yard of wide ribbon on which were typed the names of all who contributed. Mr. E. Scott was master of ceremonies and on behalf of the community, extended best wishes. As two of the Banting sons are doctors in the United States, he unfurled the Stars and Stripes and draped it beside the Union Jack. Dr. Banting re­ plied, thanking all for their attendance, gifts and good wishes. Mr. Scott called on three of the Banting sons and Rev. J. F. Wagland for a few words. The latter, but a newcomer in the village, spoke most highly ol both the Dr. and Mrs. Banting. A number of pictures of the bride and groom and family were taken. Among the wires received from a distance were those from Hex- Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister St. Laurent, Mrs. Dr. Rice, Oklahoma, and the doctor’s brother, Mr. Sydney Banting, of Birch River, Man. Guests were present from Sarnia, St. Thomas, Pt. Huron, Richmond, Tilbury, Detroit and Woodstock. After the reception in the hall, a family dinner was served at the house to 21 members of the family. On Monday, September 8, the real anniversary, many more called at the home to add their congratulations also.
