will be known as Suncoast Enterprises.
Tables, chairs and shelves were moved
into the building two weeks ago and 31
people from the Clinton and Goderich area
are presently employed doing contract

Bert and Marion Harris
celebrate 60th anniversary
The secret to a long and successful
marriage is to work together fifty-fifty, says
Marion Harris of Goderich. She and her
husband Bert celebrated their 60th wedding
anniversary with an Open House at the
Goderich Legion Hall on Saturday.
Marion McDougall, daughter of Peter and
Jessie (Stirling) McDougall and Bert
Harris, son of John and Mabel (Westaway)
Harris, first met at a neighbour's farm in
Goderich Township. They were married en
December 22, 1923 in the Presbyterian
manse in Bayfield by the Reverend Alfred
McFarlane.
Following their marriage, they lived in
Detroit where Mr. Harris worked as a street
car conductor. After four years there, they
moved back to Goderich Township where
Mr. Harris worked as a rural telephone
repairman for 10 years.
During the depression, they borrowed $300
as a ten per cent down payment on an 80
acre farm on the seventh concession of
Goderich Township. They had one horse and
two cows. Times were tough. Mr. Harris had
to completely rebuild the house and barn
and the couple had five children to feed at
the time.
"We came through it with a lot of hard
work," recalls Mrs. Harris.
After 23 years on the farm, they moved to
Goderich where Mr. Harris worked for
Champion Road Machinery Ltd. from 1957-
61. He next worked as a bar steward at
Legion Branch 109 for seven years before
retiring.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris now live in the senior
citizen's apartment building on West Street
in Goderich. They are both members of the
MacKay Centre for Seniors. Mr. Harris, who
served with the Merchant Marines in World
War I, is a life member of Legion Branch 109
and Mrs. Harris has been a member of the
Legion Ladies' Auxiliary for 30 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris' children include Bill
and Ken of Holmesville, Bob of Seaforth,
Mrs. Walter (Audrey) Mottershead of
Nanaimo, B.C., Mrs. Gordon (Yvonne)
Dougherty of Sheppardton, Grace Hut-
chings of Clinton, Mrs. Steve (Dianne)
Argyle of Bayfield and Catherine Harris of
Clinton. A son, Gerald, died in infancy. They
also have 20 grandchildren and 12 great-
grandchildren.
