As a result of this Mr. and Mrs. George Lawrence, 31 Main Street Exeter, who celebrated their six- tieth wedding anniversary last weekend decided to come to Can- ada. Mr. Lawrence was a glass blower by trade in his native England, making bottles. When machines came into use for this purpose shortly after the turn of the century Mr. Lawrence was forced to find another occupation and first turned to mining before coming to Canada to work on the farm of Mrs. Lawrence's uncle, Thomas Troop on the eighth con- cession of Hullett Township. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence met when they were both attending school in Yorkshire and were married September 3, 1905 at St. Peter's Conisborough, York- shire. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence have resided in Exeter for the past 11 years and prior to that lived in Blyth after leaving the farm. The couple have two children, Mrs. (Annie) L. E. (Ed) Johnston of Exeter and George Thomas Law- rence who lives near Goderich. Mrs. Johnston was born in York- shire while the son was born in Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence are both in their early eighties and enjoy good health. They have never returned to England for a visit and indicated they are still happy with their decision to come to Canada. The couple received a telegram from the Queen marking their an- niversary celebrations Saturday as well as many other gifts, cards and visits from friends. The couple have five grand- daughters and eight great grand- children. The celebrants were at home to their friends and relatives afternoon and evening Saturday, September 4 at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. L. E.

I am sitting at a picnic table, looking over a beautiful, small, blue lake, ringed with golden sand and white birches. Twenty feet from shore, a devoted couple swims quietly among the lily- pads. They are wild ducks. Far- ther out, a loon raises its ar- rogant head on its snake neck, then dives. When I look up, slim, swaying spruce lean together to circle blue distance that makes the head swim. In their branches, four and 20 blackbirds talk over last night's party. On the left, our Indiana neighbors whistle for their setter, who is trying to catch a duck. On the right, our Illinois neighbors shriek exultation over a string of 8- inch perch.

And inside the tent, wild- eyed, wan, and woebegone after two straight, sleepless nights under canvas, broods my wife. It's been a grand holiday trip so far, but something tells me we went at it backwards. After two days and nights cruising the inland seas, being wined and dined and waited on hand and foot, we were unceremoniously bundled ashore at the lakehead. We couldn't face it like that, cold, so we holed up in a hotel for a night. Next day, we were up at the crack of noon, and off on our camping trip. That is, after lunch, and putting up our hair, and taking it down, and shopping for grub. We finally hit the road about 4:30 and belted off on our adventure, The scenery was superb: huge humps of rock, swathed in green; dark serpents of rivers, gliding far below; diz- zying glimpses of Lake Superior, blue and splendid and almost frightening in its immensity. Say, this camping was great, so far. Then came the dawn, at our first campsite. Or, to be literal, the dark, And us in the midst of it, trying to put up the tent. In- side out, as it turned out. The charcoal wouldn't burn. We couldn't find anything - the salt, the coffee, the breadknife, the hot mustard. Nothing. We were sitting forlornly, side by side, on a cot, swatting mosquitoes, eating burned sausages and blueberry muffins, and burning with envy of our neighbors, every one of them in a luxurious trailer. A plaque had informed us that we were camping right on an historic canoe route, used by early explorers and fur traders. It's still a popular route. This occurred to me about 4 a.m. as I lay there staring starkly at the roof of the tent, my wife whimpering in the next cot. About every four minutes, a transport truck thundered past on the high- way, sixty yards behind the tent. At one-hour intervals, a train hurtled clattering by, about 200 yards away. And every so often, a jet liner screamed past right overhead. And I lay there, sick with envy of those hard-bitten fur traders, on their canoe route. Not for them the stumbling over tent pegs. Not for them the char- coal that refuses to light. Not for them the never-ending, muddling search for the egg flipper or the toilet paper. And above all, not for them the endless recriminations. I can't quite imagine the following con- versation taking place on the canoe route, on an August even- ing, say in 1742. "Hey, Pierre, w'ere de hell did you put de kleenex?" "Dat's all right for you, Jac- ques, but oo was de one oo said we didn't need no French dressing, and 'ere I 'ave de sal- ade ready, and no dressing?" "By gar, Jacques, for two bea- ver 'ides I never go wit' you again on a petite camping trip. All de time you boeuf, boeuf, boeuf!" No, it couldn't happen. Oh, well, that's progress. Guess I'll go in and give the old lady another tran- quillizer, strike camp (it takes only three hours to "strike camp"), and get rolling for the next episode of unadulterated horror. By IVIRS. JANET DESJARDINE My school door closed on June 29, 1965. A few days later Mr. and Mrs. Pepper came in and did a thorough cleaning job. How happy I felt to be clean and tidy over the summer months. Then one day about one month later I heard footsteps coming in the driveway and a key turned in the lock. It was Ross Turnbull and he left carrying a whole arm- ful of the old record books. What was up! I didn't have long to wait. Saturday, September 4th dawned clear and as the morning wore By E. C. HARVEY ROSE GARDENING SIMPLIFIED At one time roses were a lot of trouble and very frustrating, until the last few years we could not control Black Spot no matter what we did, then for a few years we had fungicides that would keep it fairly well under control, now we have fungicides that will eliminate it. When we compare roses that bloom from late June until frost, with perennials that flower for two or three weeks of the grow- ing season, we have to admit on a basis of results obtained from work involved that roses are away ahead. The rose is the world's favorite flower and every year they are being improved, larger and more bloom, a greater variety of colors and more disease resistant. THE ADVANCE ROSE CULTURE Hybrid Perpetuals were super- seded by Hybrid Teas, later the Floribunda roses were developed by crossing the Polyanthas with the Hybrid Teas, then sometime later the Grandifloras were de- veloped by crossing Hybrid Teas with Floribundas. The result is a vigorous tall growing rose with the Hybrid Tea type of bloom, some single and some in clusters with stems long enough for cut- ting. Some of the outstanding roses in this class are, Queen Elizabeth, Carrousel, Bucc a- neer, Montezuma, Star F ire, John S. Armstrong, War Dance and the 1965 All-American rose selection Camelot. Of the older Hybrid Tea roses away, it became quite hot. The twelve o'clock whistle sounded in the distance. Shortly after, the school-yard became a real bee- hive of activity. Picnic tables Were set up in the eastern part of the yard. A registration table was placed near the school door, and inside a picture collection was displayed on the table. The reason, have you guessed? Of course a reunion of all the pupils who had, at one time or another, attended this place of learning, since the year 1894 when I was built. the following have proved very satisfactory over the years, New Yorker, Arlene Francis, Peace, Helen Traubel, Mirandy, Garden Party, Countess Vandal, Char- lotte Armstrong, Mission Bells, Mojave, Sunset Glory, Sutter's Gold, White Queen, Tiffany, Con- desa De Sastago, Eclipse, Mary Margaret McBride, Signora, Ka- therine T. Marshall. Of the newer ones we have All-American rose selections, 1960 Hawaii, '61 Americana, '62 South Seas, '63 Tropicana, '64 Granada, '65 Mister Lincoln, '66 Polynesian Sunset. The following Floribundas al- ways make a good showing, Fash- ion, Golden Slippers, Jim i n y Cricket, Masquerade, S par tan and Vogue. Some of the newer Climbing roses, New Blaze, Gladiator, Red Empress, Royal Gold and Sierra Sunset. WHEN TO BUY ROSE BUSHES The Nurseries lift the bushes in the Fall, some are sent out for immediate planting but the greater number are put in stor- age and sold dormant in the Spring. Most growers prefer to plant them in the Spring while others that buy in quantity find they have more time to plant them in the Fall, either way is satisfactory. Buy from a re- putable firm the same as you would any other commodity. The American Association of Nur- serymen's standard for a No. 1 two year old bush is three or more canes nine to twelve inches long and at least one half inch in diameter. Of the 39 teachers, who had spent one year or more teaching here, 8 were present, 16 had passed away, and several more, were unaccounted for. Everybody ,spent a happy time reminiscing, particularly the older ones. I noticed the more recent pupils enjoying a game of football and softball, also the teeters and swings. A short program was held, with prizes being given to the oldest pupil present - namely Lloyd Taylor, now living in Exeter; the oldest teacher present-Mrs. Lulu (Snider) MacGregor, now living in London, and the pupil having come the greatest distance - Mrs. Charlotte (Spackman) Al- ton of Victoria, B.C. Fergus Turnbull acted as chairman, his son Ross who represents this section on the Hay Township School Board said a few words, as well as introducing the chair- man of the Board, Ian McAllister, who gave a short address. Mr. Ray Waghorn a former teacher now an inspector of public schools at Brantford made a few fitting remarks. Mrs. Alma (Hendrick) Westlake, Mrs, Ada (Keller) Tel- fer and Mrs. Martha (Rader) Merner, also helped in bringing the program to a successful close. Following this a picnic lunch was enjoyed by all. Looking over the registration, at least 200 had registered. Seven o'clock the yard was all cleared and the key again turned in my lock. Certainly I'm sad but happy too after having witnessed this glad reunion! What will be my fate? I do not know, but to all my former pupils, the best of luck. God bless you all and adieu.
