The bride is the daughter of Mr. John (Tim) Gilt, Jr., well-known in G-oderieh, and Mrs. Galt, "Gairbrain," 4110 'Cedar Hill Road, and the eldest grand- daughter of John Galt, for many years Postmaster at Goderich t The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. 11. Hannay,. 1331 Victoria avenue, Victoria. Following is the account ,of the wedding from The Victoria' Daily Colonist: • The picturesque church, decor- ated for the -Harvest Festival, was an attractive setting for the cere- mony performed by Rev. Canon Frederic Pike before the altar graced with flowers given in. mem- ory of the bride's maternal ,grand- mother. A gown of French shot taffe' in muted autumn shades was worn by the bride given in marriage by her father. The Basque bodice de- signed with low neckhne and el- bow -length crushed sleeve's was off- set by the wide, waltz -length skirt featuring released pleats at the sides. Her small soft hat was of the same material trimmed with cham- pagne-tOned veil which matched her shoes. She carried a period bouquet of Johanna Hill roses. Attending the bride was her only sister, Mrs. Geoffrey Goodwin, at- tired ih spruce green velvet cut low at the neckline and styled with a full, waltz -length skirt. Her small hat of French shot taffeta matched the bride's gown and she carried a small cascade of Marcel chrysanthemums. Mr. Thomas A. Fraser, Caulfield, West Vancouver, acted as grooms- man and ushering were Mr. John Galt Wilsone Vancouver, and Mr. Geoffrey L. Goodwin, St. Cath- arines, Ontario. As the -couple signed the regis- ter, traditional wedding music and "Cavatina" by Raff were played. Flowers in autumn tones decor- ated the reception rooms at "Gain braid" where the newlywed's re- ceived with their parents. Mrs. Galt, chose a French .,broadelotir dress with matching velvet jacket nd hat and corsage to tawny yel- low roses while MTS. Hannay was in a smart black and white en- semble iwith rosebud corsage. Presiding at thentea table centr- ed with an arrangement of white chrysanthemums • and lighted by tall white tapers, were Mrs. R. S. Twining and Mrs. V. L. Eardley - Wilmot. The three -tiered, all - white wedding cake centred the bride's table. Mr. R. S. Twining proposed the toast to the bride's happiness. For an extended motor trip through the United States and the interior of British Columbia to Edmonton, the new Mrs. Hannay donned a rose brown velvet en- semble, the jacket fitted at the waistline to a peplurn from which fell the soft contours of the flared skirt. A matching hat, brown aer cessories and a corsage of heather from the gardens of "Gairbraid" completed her ensemble. At the end of October, Mr, and Mrs. Hannay will travel to Beaver Lodge, Sask., where the groom' is superintendent of the Eldorado Mining and Refining Company operations. Goderich Township Believed Built By A. S. Garrett (In Tb ,London free Press) The tree -sheltered buildings en ! the old Woon farm crown a height of land at the end of one of the longest lanes in Huron County. They can be seen in the distance from the Bayfield -Clinton road, a paved thoroughfare. One of them is the quaint log structure referred to herewith. Ancient Map An ancient map of 1862 shows John Fox as then the owner of this property — lot 42, „Bayfield road, G-oderich Township. He is believed to ,have -built this log house, probably more than 100 years ago. Later the farm was owned by the McLaughlin family and in 1878 they sold to John Woon. The place has been in the' Woon name 'ever since, now owned by his son, John G. Woon, of R.R. 1, Clinton. The Woons lived'in the log dwel- ling until 1908, and at that time also rented the farm across the road. John Woon, sr., died in 1911. The next year, John G. Woon built the present residence on the home place and since then the log house has served other purposes. Change In Road Regarding the unusually long lane on the ,place, John G.- 'Woon wrote: "The road was surVeyed first right below the house and then changed later, after some of the building on the farm was done. The. buildings are in the right place for iworking the farm any- way . . ." The Bayfield River wends its way through this area, passing along the back of the Woon farm. When the elder John Woon locat- ed there in 18'78, three neighboring families were the Glens, Tricks and Elliotts:' Descendants still live in the vicinity. When the writer visited the Woon place, not long ago, it was occupied and operated by tennants — the Stryker family — of Dutch Zone 2 of the Ontario 'Farm Forums met at Wingham, with the chairman, Mrs. Gordon Greig, Blue - vale, in the chair.

Each county gave a report, on the past year's activities, andthe prospects of new forums for '1955- 56 were discussed. ,Wellington county reported that there was a forum in that county composed of new Canadians only.. A discussion hour dealt with reasons for forums' breaking up, what steps must be taken to get improved .leadership, and how improved leadership can -overcome di ffi cal tie s. A committee was appointed to study the possibilities of co-ordin- ating the educational work Of farm organizations. Named to this com- mittee were Rev. A. H.

DESPITE RELUCTANCE Despite his reluctance to do so, Magistrate D. E. Holmes in court here last Thursday imposed a jail, sentence on a woman convicted on a charge laid under the Canada Temperance Act. Sentence of two weeks in jail and a MI e of $50 and costs or an additional .two -weeks was imposed on Mrs. Myrtle Hodges, Port Al- bert. It was a second conviction. Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays painted out that awornan had been sentenced to jail previously by the magistrate when convicted for a second time under the CTA. "That woman appeared quite willing to accept the conse- quences," the magistrate said. "I feel a jail term should be imposed, but 1 don't like the idea of sending a woman to jail."
