gregational meetingto receive the

committee to other churches, and
how, in co-operation with Mr, W. H.
E. Schmalz, architect, a master plan
had beenworked out to modernize
Northside Church, which had been
built over 70 years ago. The plan,
which includes a new entrance, new
lighting, new pews, changes in the
galleries, new chancel, a modern
kitchen, and an addition to the rear
of the church, had been divided into
four different phases, each of which
would be complete and paid for be-

estimated at $30,000.
Dr. Paul Brady, another member
of the committee, outlined plans for
the first portion of the work. This

rear of the church which would
house the new heating unit, and
- would provide a modern church par-
lour and a new primary department,
as well as a side entrance to Church
St. The kitchen would be enlarged
and remodelled and a stage would be
erected. This building and the com-
plete new heating system would cost
in the neighborhood of $15,000.
Other members of the committee,
Mrs. Lloyd Morrison,' Mr. Jas A.
Stewart anis Mr. Ross Savauge,
spoke briefly on other phases of the
proposed changes,
Following a short discussion, the

joyed. by all. The following address
to Mr. and Mrs. Dundas was read ''by
Mrs. Earl Mills and 'they were pre-
sented with a wall mirror and tri -
lite floor lamp by Thos. Storey and
Gilbert Smith.
"Dear Willis and Elva,—Mang
years ago, the great poet, William
Shakespeare, used the phrase, "Part-'
ing is such sweet sorrow." Tonight
this expression very adequately ex-
presses the feelings in our hearts.
The departure of a family from any
community invariably leaves a gap.
This gap is particularly noticeable
when made by a family such as
yourselves and who have grown up
and developed within the commun-
ity. We shall miss you both greatly.
Your cheerful acceptance of all the
duties of good citizens, your very
gracious hospitality, your hands
outstretched to welcome strangers
and your cheerful smiles will long.
be remembered by all of us. Never-
theless, our sense of personal loss
will be "sweetened" by the know-
ledge that you are able to retire
from the arduous labours of farm
work while you are still in your
prime, and able to enjoy the pleas-
ures of. living without the ties of
home responsibilities. We are so
glad to know that your new home is
not so far distant but that you will
be able to return very frequently
among us, and we are looking for-
ward to many happy re -unions. We
ask you to accept these gifts as a
memento of, the many happy years
we have spent together. May you
have many years of health, happi-
ness and prosperity in your new
home, is the wish of your friends
and neighbors." Suitable replies
were made by the recipients, after
which all joined in singing "For
They Are Jolly Good Fellows." The
serving of a fine lunch ended a very
enjoyable evening. Mr. and Mrs.
Dundas have moved to Seaforth.
FRIENDS HONOR MR. AND
MRS. THOMAS LEEMING
An enjoyable evening was spent al
the Leadbury school last week when
neighbors and friends gathered to
honor Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Leeming
prior to their departure to their
new home in Walton. The early part
of the evening was spent in "Lost
Heir" and a short programme, and
Mr. and Mrs. Leeming were asked
to come forward. The following ad-
dress was read by Mrs. Gordon Mc -
Gavin and the presentation was made
by David Watson and Alex Dennis,
the gifts were a radio and a table
lamp.
"Dear Maud and Toni—Our com-
munity is suffering strange up-
heavals, with the removal of old
families who have lived all their
lives in this neighborhood. "The old
order changeth, yeilding place to
new" and time brings many changes;
some are happy ones, others are the.
contrary. In your case we rejoice in
the good fortune that brings about
your departure, and we look for-
ward to welcoming our new neigh-
bor, but it is with regret we realize.
you are so soon to leave our midst.
The roots which you have sent out,
have gone deep into the very core
of our life, and have become the tra-
ditions you have built into the years
you have been here. We think of
you as the founders of a fine home
where we have all enjoyed your
hospitality. We think of you . as a
fine example of true neighborliness,
the first to respond when help, was
needed. We remember that you were
never too tired or too busy to do the
little things we intended to do. We
think of you as good people, who
have had ideals and stood for the
best things of life. We think of you
as "Thesolid steady country folk,
The very warp and weft of any na-
tions without which asunder it •had
cleft; The brawn and sinews of its
soul, the wholesome, happy, country
folk, 'God bless them, one and all".
We are glad that you are not go-
ing too far away. To us you will al-
ways be "the folks away frons home"
and for you we will always have
that old-fashioned welcome "Come
in! We're glad to see you" when you
come back to see us.
We are pleased tonight to have
this gathering with you, and we ask
you to take with you to your new
home, these gifts with the wish that
you will have comfort, health, and
continuing happiness for many
years to come. Signed on behalf of
your friends and neighbors.

NEWLYWEDS FETED
IN EGMONDVILLE
About 25 of the neighbors of Mr.
and Mrs. Hugh McLachlan, Eg-
mondville, (recently married couple)
met on Monday evening, May 23rd
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmore
Stephenson to extend congratula-
tions and best wishes to the newly
married couple. A pleasant evening
was spent playing crokinole after
which Mr. and Mrs. McLachlan were
called to the 1 rent and presented
with an address and a wall -mirror.
Mr. McLachlan replied very fittingly
for himself and' Mrs. McLachlan, ex-
pressing his appreciation - of the
spirit of good will that •prompted the
gift. Following the presentation the
ladies served lunch which brought to
a close a very pleasant evening.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. McLachlan,—
We, your near neighbors and friends
take this opportunity to congratulate
you, and wish you the greatest hap-
piness in ,your matrimonial venture.
Since you gave us all a great sur-
prise we have planned a little
surprise for you, and speaking of
surprises, it is said 'that husbands
are of three varieties, prizes, sur-
prises and consolation prizes. As we
were not at your wedding we find it
necessary to use our imagination in
describing the event. So, something
like this should meet the case. "The
blushing bride wore a very pretty
dress, and the groom was charm-
ingly clad in a three-piece suit con-
sisting of coat, vest, and trousers,
the vest was sleeveless and met in
front and was gracefully fashioned
with pockets". Since inarriage is a
business partnership, we trust and
believe that your business of living
together will be a successful one. It
is said that nmaking a -husband out of
a man is one of the highest plastic
arts known to civilization, It re-
quires science, comMon sense, faith,
hope and charity. '
A long time ago I heard a toast
given to woman, lovely woman. In
closing the gentleman quoted, "Fair
woman in her house of ease, uncer-
tain, coy and hard to please". Then he
faltered, fumbled , but with a wond-
erful air continued, "But seen too oft
familiar with her face, we first en-
dure, then pity, then embrace." As
a token of our friendship, and best
wishes in your+wedded bliss, we ask
you to accept this little gift. May it
reflect your happiness for many
many years.
