GERALD WAYNE HAMILTON Wed in London church Curious tourists, with an in- terest in visiting the graves of the famous Donnellys of Liman, have made it necessary to close the doors of St. Patrick's RC Church, on the corner of High- way 4 and the Roman Line, ex- cept when regular church ser- vices are in progress, An estimated 1,000 tourists each week, stop at the church to visit this historic site. Un- fortunately, together with visit- ing the graves of the Donnellys and reading the inscription on the tombstone, they have been entering the church and mis- behaving there, to such an ex- tent, that the pastor, Rev. Fa- ther F. J. Bricklin, has found it necessary to close the doors.

That's What the man said in the song, I beg to differ, Today, a typical sum- mer day at the Smileys, we've got a girl going to camp, a boy going to the dogs, a dog going to the vet's, a mother going around the bend, and a father going to seed. And the Hybl' is anything but easy. We have spent all our money except the last baby bo- nus, and there's a month to be put in before we get the next paycheck. Kim is in the next room, getting ready to go to camp. To hear her talk, in the pre- ceding weeks, her fortnight at camp is the only oasis in the bleak and dreary desert which comprises the life of a kid going into Grade 8. Her method of preparing for camp is afamiliar one to many parents. She's lying on her bed reading comic books. SiX Weeks ago our son was an earnest Grade 11 student who practised the piano three hours a day, beginning at 7 a.m., did his homework, received a no- minal allowance, went to bed at a reasonable hour, and eschew- ed the company of females. Now he is an orange-piler in WILL BE CLOSED Aug. 19 to 31 couldn't lick a baby robin with both wings tied behind its back, flirt about on the lawn just (AA of reach. * Downstairs, wife is fuss- ing and cu. ssing over the ironing, the sewing on of labels, the searching for last year's sleep- ing bag, This is on the top level, below that she Is stewing over the visitors arriving to- Morrow, the fact that we don't know what time Kim's boat leaves for camp, and the reali- zation that the new clothesline I installed at the cost of 00171.- plete damnation of my soul (swearing) doesn't work worth a diddle, There are several other levels, deeper down. Within the last hour, we've had at the garden gate several callers. The first was a vast, happy, plastered, commercial fisherman, who wanted to know where the piano was, It was his birthday, and he caught a dozen lake trout. It turned out that a lady a block away was ad- vertising a baby grand for sale. You figure out why a coni- mercial fisherman, drunk, wanted to buy a baby grand. Another apparition was a tourist woman. Her car had stopped just beside our garden. She said her daughter was a cyclic vomiter, whatever that is, and the kid had been in the hospital all day, and it was so hot and her husband was at the cottage, and she couldn't get the car started and wha- wha-wha, she started to bawl. I fetched a mechanic. And just 10 minutes ago I received a call from Old Blink- er, an old air force friend of mine who is a rim-racked, Pupils here pass exams CORBETT-MEADD REUNION On Sunday, July 28, 65 mem- bers of the Corbett-Meadd fa- mily from Montreal, Toronto, Guelph, St. Catharines, Cliff- ord, Parkhill, Mt. Br y d g e s, London, Denfield, 11 derto n, Ailsa Craig, Gorrie and Lucan held their 1963 two meal re- union at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Corbett. Lucan ladies figured prominently in the diamond anniversary celebration of North Middlesex Women's Institute. Shown here during the cake-cutting ceremony are, from left, Mrs. Murray Hodgins, the new district president; Mrs. George Young, 88 years old, a life member of Clandeboye WI, a member of the Lucan branch arid a former district president, and Mrs. Sheridan Revington, president of Lucan WI. John Jull of Toronto, provided traditional wedding music. At a reception held at the borne of the groom, the groom's mother received in a blue flowered silk gown with pink sweetheart rose corsage. She was assisted by the bride's mother in a green floral silk dress and corsage of pale yellow sweetheart roses. For a honeymoon trip to east- ern and northern Ontario, the bride changed to a one-piece gold pure silk gown with em- broidered top and short sleeves. She wore a corsage of yellow sweetheart roses. The young couple will make their home in Lucan, Guests were present from Detroit, Burgessville, Ailsa Craig, Denfield, Sainisbury and Lucan. WI marks 60 years one of pur mighty chain stores, and as a result, wealthy, a de- votee of the midnight dance, and as lively as a log until noon, time to go to work. Today is his day off, and he's down at the beach giving the teen-age tourist girls a treat, or he's tearing around in some delinquent's car, or he is trying to drown himself on somebody's water-skis out in the bay. Who knows? His par- ents don't. We'll be lucky if he's home in time to eat his usual eight pounds of supper before he casually mentions that he's off to the dance at the local sin-pit. As for our little black spaniel, Piayboy, he's more confusing than anybody, Recently he lost an eye when he got smart with a tomcat. He was at the vet's for a couple of weeks, while the damage was repaired. Now each time he gets out of the yard, he vanishes smartly, and no a- mount of whistling or bone-wav- ing will recall him. Ten minutes later, we get a call from the vet. "Have you seen your dog lately? No? Well, he's back again.', He has fallen in love with eith- er the vet or some dimpled lady dog who was in hospital with him, because he goes haring off to the vet's, seven blocks away, every time he gets loose. And he gets loose much too often. This week he fell fran- tically in love with avast, tired, nine-year-old male boxer who was visiting, with friends. It was pitiful. Playboy did every- thing but sing Indian Love Call to prove his passion. The boxer was bored. Today the pup is sitting on his rump in the yard, glaring with appalling ferocity about his domain, while the black squir- rels, cats, and butterflies, se- cure in the knowledge that he et Construction keeps brisk ri (Gas and Oil Already Mixed) GARDEN PARTY An ideal day last Wednesday made it possible for Mrs. War- ner McRoberts to entertain 18 of her Lucan, London and Wood- ham friends on her lawn.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Korevaar, RR 1 Lucan, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hamilton, Lucan, Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a gown of white pure silk embroidered and appliqued organza over- skirt, featuring a basque waist, short sleeves, scooped neck- line, shirred cummerbund and bouffant skirt. An embroidered silk illusion, shoulder-length veil was held by a tiara of seed pearls. She carried a white Bible, crested with red sweet- heart roses and stephanotis.
