Nearly all famil- ies hi the community had some re- latives or friend to call on them. Such holidays mean much to those and since it is an annual holiday all look forward to it, and despite all the warnings, the most distressing part is the accidents involvea in it. Too many it leaves in its trail lonly pain and grief, and for those of to- day as in the past, we can only offer sympathy to the bereaved. Ryder -Bedard. On Saturday last Miss Euleen Be- dard, daughter of Mr and Mrs Leon Bedard of the parish, became the bride of Mx. Prank Ryder of London. The ceremony being performed in the garish church iby Rev. Father 1 WilliaJm.Bourdeau. Besides the im- mediate :families there were guests from Detroit, Windsor, London, God- erich and other points. As is the cos - tum, the reception was held at the bride's hoarse making the whole a real wedding party, and where all enjoyed themselves to their heart's content till the wee hours of the next dawn. .Leaving their best wishes to the newly wedded, that they may live their new life in happiness. Mr and Mrs. Riyder left on Sunday for an eastern trip, on their return they will reside in London. Canada's Premier Coming! On Friday forenoon of this week this parish will have the honour to welcome Mr. L ouis St. Laurent, the Honourable Premier of Canada. Pre- parations have been already made, and a dinner will be served in the Parish Hall. It is beyond the mem- ory of this little isolated French parish to have been privileged before to give welcome to such a distingu- ished guest and regardless of politics we :should be present to give him a cheery welcome as a visitor. Today, for most of us, politics means little, for it is not like the man in the back concession, who is versed enough in politics, to forsee future benefits, nor is it the chap on the street corner who has much know- ledge of the affairs of our country. That is left to our leaders, those that cultivate their minds for years ion the work and as well gifted to be polit- ician. Regardless of it all, be it the party it may, we should be thankful that we are not marched under fire to cast our ballots, under a fixed mark, voting our franchise and fre- edom away. In this good land of ours, we give our votes according to conscience, and if or not we fail to elect our party, we still enjoy the freedom of speech, of press, and a- bove all to be able to render thanks to God for the many privileges grant- ed to us!
