GOLDEN WEDDING OF
MR. AND MRS. R. W. -AGAR
On Tuesday, Feb. 21st a very
Pleasant evening was spent at the
home of Mr, and Mrs, Harold. Agar
in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Robt,
Agar, who on that day celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary,.
During the evening humorous read-
ings were Head entitled "Leivinsky M
the Wedding", "The Hunt", "Ma and
the Auto", Progressive euchre was
played. Music played by Mr, and
Mrs, Erwin Agar was heartily en-
joyed. After a delicious lunch serv-
e ed by the hostess the address was
read by Mr, Sam •Scott, lMr, and
Mee. Agar were presented with a
beautiful table lamp and a hassock.
Mr. Agar thanked the neighbors for
their kind remembrances after which
all joined in singing "For They are
Jolly Good Fellows".
Dear Mr, and Mee. Agar --It was
only a few days ago that most of
us learned that today was your
fiftieth anniversary of your anar-
riege. As friends and neighbors we
felt that we could not allow the oc-
casion to pass umnarked. Therefore
we have gathered here tonight to.
offer you our heartiest congratula-
tions and good wishes that go along
with them. It is hard to believe that
it is almost thirty years since you
came to live in our midst, and during
that time the warm hospitality ex-
tended to all who called at your
home, and the helping hand so readily
and generously given in any time of
need, has endeared you both to the
hearts of all assembled here tonight.
We regret Mr. Agar, that you
have riot been enjoying the best of
health of late, and we hope that you
will soon he restored to normal
strength and vigour. In closing it is
our warmest wish and prayer that
all wise Providence will grant you
both abundance of those things which
really make life worth while. We
feel you can fittingly repeat the
words of a familiar song, "We have
gone a long way together" and your
friends and neighbors will say the
second line like this, "We hope you
still have a long way, to _ go". As tan-
gible evidence of what has just been
said'in this address and as a token
of our best regards and sincere good
wishes, we ask you to accept this
gift. Your friends and neighbors.

MR, AND MRS. J. MoGAVIN
HONORED BY FRIENDS
A very pleasant evening was
spent at the home of Dor. and Mr's,
Cecil Oke, Kippen Road, Tucker -
smith, on Friday evening when
some forty friends and neighbors
gathered to do honor to Mr. and
Mrs. McGavin on the occasion of
their 50th wedding anniversary
which they had celebrated in Janu-
dry. The evening was spent playing
erokinole and euchre, prizes going
to the following: Crokinole ist, Mrs,
Robt. Tyndall and Mr. Arthur Niel.
Olson; consolation, Miss Teresa Ettle.
F,uc'hee, Mrs. Walker Hart and Mr,
9'Iannie Etue, consolation, Wm.
Cameron, A wool blanket was pre-
sented to Mr. and 1Mrs, McGavin
and a ball point pen to Miss Mary
McGavin, Mr. Edwin Chesney read
the address. The gifts were present-
ed by Mr. Wni, Cameron and Mr.
Wilfred Coleman. Although taken
entirely by surprise Mr, McGavin
made a very fitting; reply on behalf
of himself and Mrs. McGavin, He
also extended thanks to Mr. and
Mrs. Once for opening their house for
the occasion and to those who made
the .evening such a pleasant one.
Mr. Walker Hart then entertained
in his usual good manner with songs
and accompanied himself on the
guitar, A delicious lunch was served
bythe ladies. All joined in singing
"For They are Jolly Good Fellows".
The following is the address: To
Mr, and Mrs. MeGavin on the occa-
sion of their 50th wedding anniver-
sary. Dear Johnnie and Vic, --A
short time ago an event took place in
your lives which those of us who are
married all hope to celebrate, your
golden wedding anniversary. You al-
lowed the event to slip past so
quietly that few of us were aware of
it until we read the announcement
in the papers. We felt we could not
et the occasion pass without recog-
nition and as there was a birthday
n your family this week it appeared
to be an excellent opportunity to in-
vite you to join us and celebrate
both events. We have always found
you to be kind and helpful neighbors
and my wife and I have many happy
memories of bountiful Sunday sup-
pers at your home, after an after-
noon's snowshoeing, and we know
yam other neighbors can recall
many happy hour's spent with you.
Most of us here remember your
father and mother's diamond wed-,
ding anniversary and our wish for
yen both is that you may enjoy many1
spore years together and that we
will all be on hand to help you cel-
ebrate your diamond. As an expres-
sion of esteem in which you are held
in this community we ask you to ac-
cept this remembrance. Signed, your
neighbors. IY

A request from ,Salvation Army
for ,g'i' nt to Bethesda Hospital in
London caused some discussion.
Rev Sills said he learned at the
county council tiat ten girls had
gone to this hospital from Huron
two years ago and last year there
were fourteen, and that the grants
from the county and Huron munici-
palities totalled to an average 'of
about $250 per girl. This seemed ex-
cessive in view of the fact that the
girls are required to work for thou'
keep before the baby is born and
afterwards until it is adopted. Conn
chlor McMaster said the hospital is
filling a great need and in some
cases the baby is adopted within
seven days. The council decided not
to increase the usual $25 grant.
In his street committee report,
Councillor Close admitted having
given permission to the hospital
board to run a tile from the hospital
cesspool to within four feet of the
town drain on James street. He con-
tended that permission had not,.been
secured from. the Heaith Unit and
the tile put too close, with result a
neighbor had to move out of the
house for several days, the smell in
his cellar was so bad. On top of this
trouble, he had given permission to
one of the workmen to remove a
couple of dead trees in front of the
hospital and a tree had fallen the
wrong way, breaking the telephone
line. He disclaimed any liability to
the town for damages. He ,reported
the town has 600 bags of cement on
hand for summer work, also recom-
mended 'purchase of a cement mixer
instead of renting a mixer at $2,50
per day.
Councillor• Wallace Ross reported
for the property committee. Some
slates on the town hall roof need re-
pair. Councillor Christie reported

f from the Seattle Times which were

give sone idea of the severe winter
conditions at the coast in mid -Janu-

TI 18 to 24 inches thiels, there are pit;

t way, sunken pleasure boats wrecked
by the storm, an attic full of snow,
and a house carried away by an
earth slide.
Schools were closed in the city
when transportatign was tied up by
snow.
Reeve Sills stated that the cost of
indigents and relief is getting fairly
high. He recommended that the town
set up a special account to keep
track of hospitalization accounts, so
they would be recoverable later when
occasion arises. There have been
cases, he said, where a man or wo-
man receives hospitalization, and up-
on their death their property mesas
to the children, who though able,
had contributed nothing to the hos-
pital expenses. It was only fair to
the taxpayer's, that the town be re-
imbursed out of such estates,

County are banding together to con-
duct a Huron County Crippled Child-

benefit by medical and surgical
treatment, but whose parents are
not in a position to provide such
care. •
However, the Survey is expected
to determine the name of every child
in Huron County, handicapped in
any way, irrespective of family fin-
ancial considerations. With this end
in view the full cooperation of the
public is earnestly requested.
Teachers, doctors and clergymen,
as well as the members of the Lions
Clubs of Huron County, are cooper-
ating to the fullest extent in assuring
the success of the survey. All names
must be in the hands of the Secre-
tary by March 10. The Clinic itself
will be held in the Public Health
Unit, Clinton, on May 10.

Survey comprises the following:
