Alf and Ethel (Whitehouse) Sut
ton of Ethel reached a milestone
few couples do. They celebrated
their 65th wedding anniversary
Nov. 2.
The couple wed at Georgetown
Anglican Church with Edna Harris
and Edward Ross as their atten
dants.
Their daughter, Muriel Helen
Sutton (dec. July 8. 1998), was
born the following year.
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton both worked
for the postal service in Brampton
and Georgetown before retiring to
Ethel in 1974.
Though spending 21 winters at
their Florida home, they kept very
active in their community. They
were members of the Anglican and
United Church and were busy with
dancing, school functions and an
orchestra with which Mr. Sutton
was involved. He also' spent 40
years with Boy Scouts of Canada,
59 years with Lions International,
54 years with the Royal Canadian
Legion and 20 years with the
Masonic Order A.F & A.M.
While Mr.Sutton was busy with
his activities, Mrs. Sutton got
involved in the women's division
of the same organizations. She has
been with the Lionesses for 49
years and sang for many years with
the Sweet Adelines.
Mr. Sutton said they were so for
tunate to be able to spend 21 years
in Florida, close to where their
daughter lived for many years. She
had returned to this area in 1997.
“We are vyorking people. We try
to do things in the community. That
may be the secret to a lot of
things," he said. “Don’t isolate
yourself from the community. If
(both people) are involved with
activities it helps keep a perspec
tive on what is going on."
anything."
The Suttons marked their special
occasion with dinners with family
and friends.
As for tips on making it to a 65th
anniversary, Mr. Sutton said. “It
certainly has to be a matter of give
and take. One can’t blindly demand

Rev. Ross recites
‘In Flanders Fields’
Remembrance Day Service at
Knox United opened after prelude
by organist Bernice Gross with
Rev. Paul Ross welcoming all.
The service was on remembering.
In Flanders Field was said by Rev.
Ross followed by The Last Post,
two-minutes silence and The
Reveille followed by God Save The
Queen and O Canada. Prayer was
given by Rev. Ross.
During the children’s time
several articles were drawn from
the mystery bag. These were
mainly army toys, ambulance,
tractor, trucks, etc. They were
meant to be played with and play is
wonderful, said Rev. Ross.
However, when real wars happen
and equipment is used it is a
different story. Peace must be kept
and wars prevented. That is what
God wishes and what people must
try to do.
Old Testament scripture was
given by Rev. Ross from Joel 3.
Here the Gentiles are told to
prepare for war and to be strong.
The New Testament from
Matthew 10, again spoke about
turbulence and the necessity to
carry Christ’s cross and follow his
word to save lives.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was “The
Forgotten War”. He went back
through the years to the Crimean
War, Boer War and the Great Wars.
Throughout the years there have
been wars. The main reason seems
to have been the desire for riches.
Countries wanted what the other
country had.
“Is this correct? Can we think
that God does not desire peace?”-he
asked. Lives are lost, people are left
handicapped, countries are
destroyed.
The Durnin family greeted the
congregation as they came to the
service.
