celebrate
Many people who have
lived a long time will tell you
life was much better when
they were young. But Edna
and Russell Bolton of
McKillop Township, who
celebrated their 50th Wedding
Anniversary on June 13, are
exceptions.
Both have seen many
changes in the years since
they were married at the
McKillop United Church
manse in 1927 and most were
for the better they feel.
"I think things are better
today," Mr. Bolton said.
"Work is done by machine
instead of hard hand labour
and young people today have
a better chance to get an
education than we had."
Mr. and Mrs. Bolton are
both natives of McKillop
Township and have farmed
near Winthrop since they
were first married. They
have two sons - Arthur and
Malcolm.

50th Anniversary
Arthur is now farming on
the "home farm" and his
brother is the agriculture
representative, for Bruce
County and lives in
Walkerton.
When the Boltons started
farming 100 acres was the
standard farm and virtually
all the work was done with
horses.
"There were a lot more
people in the area then and
you depended on your neigh-
bour a lot more," Mr. Bolton
said.
Mrs. Bolton clearly
remembers the large
threshing gangs of 14 or 15
men who would move in the
night before they started
work.
"The meals they ate
weren't light meals and you
couldn't run to the corner
store," she said. "The pace
was fast enough then, but it
was different. There wasn't
as much tension."

"I'he depression hit not long
after they were married.
"They were hard times.
There was no money to do
anything and then the war
came and there was money to
do everything," Mr. Bolton
said. "The depression made
us take care of the pennies. It
made us pretty close with
money for the rest of our
life."
Despite the technological
changes which make it
possible to travel to town in 10
minutes instead of an hour
and a half, some things
haven't changed.
11 they could have planned
the weather, the Clinton
firemen would have had some
sunshine for their picnic on
Sunday, June 12." However,
in spite of an overcast sky
there was no rain and the
firemen, wives and children
enjoyed an afternoon of fun
.rod games at the Bayfield
River Conservation Park.
Highlight of the adult ac-
tivities was a tug of war
between the men. The team of
Craig Cox, Doug Cantelon,
Harvey Carter, Mark
Jenkins, Jack Carter, Randy
Glew, Dennis Flkeischauer
and Clarence Neilans had just
about proven their superior
strength when the "other
guys", composed of Fred
Lobb, Al Finch, Bruce
Schoenhals, Paul Draper,
Doug Cartwright, Jack Peck,
Ross Jewitt, Dean Reid and
Gerry Cox gave a mighty
heave-ho and brought the
former to their kneos.

and abetted a teeny bit by a
couple of the fair sex. The
moral behind this story is
never to underestimate the
