Bell on Tuesday Evening On Tuesday evening, September 5th, when Olga Bell returned home about g pm. she was completely taken by surprise to see the yard full- of ullof motor cars, and the house packed with about ninety ladies of the church and community, who had as- sembled to present the bride -elect with a - miscellaneous shower, There were kitchen utensils, table linen, dishes, bedding, silver and furniture. The first thing on the programme was a mock wedding by a group of "derides" who entered the living room to the strains of a wedding march played by Jean Ivison, The characters were: Bride, Mrs. Wm, Bell; groom. Mrs. Alex McMurtrie; bridesmaid, Doreen Calder; grooms - Man, Beatrice Cooper; bride's father, Mrs. Morley Cooper; officiating par- son, Mrs, Harry Caldwell, erbo with characteristic efficiency did iter part to perfection, to the great amuse - anent of the guests. A coaster wag- gon, decorated in pink and blue, was Laden to capacity with a traetion of the gifts. and drawn into the pres- ence of the bride•elect by two little girls, Marilyn Mousseni and. Beth Morris and presented to her with the following address, read by Mrs. Al- lan Johnston: "Dear Olga—When you were a kid at school some fellow pupil probably wrote in your auto- graph album some such words as these: 'Olga is your name; Single is your station. Happy will be the lueky one, Who makes the alteration.' t He surely will be, because as Rob- ert Burns is reported to have said, out of ten points assigned for the qualifications of a good wife, one point ought to be given for good looks, one for mental endowments and education, one for skill in house- keeping and seven for good disposi- tion. Judged by this standard surely you score one hundred percent. We could easily eulogize you because you are socially minded and have shown Your unselfish and practical interest in everything that goes on in church and community; but we have not come here to praise you. We have 001115 merely to express - our kindly feeling towards you and to wish you every happiness in your new venture. Sinee'niueh of a wife's time is spent in routine household deities, we would like to see you begin your housekeeping with a few of the nec- essary gadgets to lighten or facilitate your labor. Please acceptthese gifts as a small token of our affectionate regard and our sincere desire that your wedded life may be long and happy." Olga managed to recover from her surprise enough to thank the visitors. A bounteous lunch was serv- ed and the visitors retired about mid- night, Drumhead Service at Exeter Next Sunday The veteran's parade and drum- head service will be held tis oris PSept.ark.

Schools which will participate are Seaforth public and separate, Eg- nlondville school and the Brueefieid school (S.S. No. 3, Tuckersmith).
