of the bride, united in marriage

and Mrs. W. M. Aiken, of Clinton.
The bride was charming in a petal
white tissue faille gown fashioned
with moulded empire lines, bodice
fastened with tiny buttons to the
waist, short fan sleeves and a high
winged collar. The full flared
skirt swept to a cascade bustle
back from which rich folds form-
ed the short train. The finger-tip
veil completed 'her costume. The
attendants were Miss Phyllis Her-
man, sister of the bride, and Miss
Ruth Hancock, of Pefferlaw, who
wore identical gowns of coral moire
taffeta with matching headdresses.
Their flowers were colonial bou-
quets of Queen Elizabeth roses.

The County is building a new
bridge in the village and there are
several cabins and rolling homes
added to the village for the work -
ways a child," was taken by Mrs. ers and their' families.
J. F. Scott. In her very pleasing
manner, 'Mrs. Scott spoke of the
work of our ancestors, particular-
ly the women, who did so much
to make the country and people
what they are today. In closing,
Mrs. Scott said: "Let us be build-
ers and make this generation and
the next the better for our having
been here."
Mrs. Doig then introduced the
guest speaker, Mrs. John Nott, of
Egmondville, who spoke on the
great work accomplished by our
ancestors in raising a family and
building a home. They did not
have any of the modern conveni-
ences we have today. Farmers
raised sheep and the wool was us-
ed to make clothing, blankets and
cpmforters. The women had "pick-
ing bees" and wool was picked and
then seat to the carding mill,
where it was carded and the rolls
sent back. The women used spin-
ning wheels and the yarn was us-
ed to be made into cloth for cloth-
ing. The dyes used for coloring the
yarn were from golden rod, wal-
nut shelf black currant leaves
and indigo. She passed around a
model that was used for dressmak-
ing and from which patterns were
drafted. Using Mrs, Cecil Oke as
a model, she showed how a pat-
tern was drafted out. She spoke
of the way 'meat was cured, also
how apples were dried• for winter
use. At that time they sold for
five cents a pound. Apple butter
and cider were also made. She al-
so told thoW soap was made in a
leach and was used for scrubbing
and washing. Toilet soap could on-
ly be bought for babies. Bread -
baking was another accomplish-
ment. A farmer took his grain to
the mill and brought back a year's
supply of flour. Hop yeast was us-
ed and many a "batch" of beautiful
bread and buns was made.
Mrs. Nott spoke of many other
interesting things that went to
make up the daily work of the
homemakers. In closing she said:
"Let us always honor the name of
Mother, and Father; stand up and
call them blessed."
Current events ware taken by
Mrs. Cecil Oke. Another solo, "We
Better Bide a Wee," by Mrs. ,Gov-
enlock, was enjoyed. Two old-
fashioned bouquets were presented
to Mrs. Nott and Mrs. Govenlock.
A vote of thanks was made to Mrs.
Nott, Mrs, Govenlock and the hos-
tess, Mrs. Coleman, by Mrs. Wm.
Leeming.
Lunch was served by the hostess
and her assistants and the meeting
well, of Londesboro, who was
gowned in a white moire taffeta,
barrying a nosegay of roses. Mr.
William Aiken, brother of the
groom, was the groomsman, and
Mr. Gordon Herman and Mr. Don
Symons were ushers. The wedding
music was played by Mrs. T. Frem-
lin, while Mrs. Don Symons was
the soloist. Following the cere-
mony a reception was held at the
home of the bride's parents. Mr.
and Mrs. Aiken left later on a trip
to Muskoka, the bride's travelling
costume .being a coral gabardine
suit, with white accessories and a
gardenia corsage. On their return
they will reiii'de in London 'where

versity of Western Ontario. Mrs.

Guessing With Gasoline
Amateur mechanics often have a
habit of washing and degreasing
motor parts in an open tin of gaso-
line. Gasoline does a fine job of
cleaning, but people must realize
the potential dangers associated
with its use. Gasoline is highly
inflammable and its vapor will
explode from a tiny spark. And its
fumes may be dangerous in a con-
fined space. Use gasoline for the
purposes for which it was intend-
ed. Use an approved degreasing
agent and handle it with care.
Cool, Clear Water
Poets have often exalted the
virtues of cold, still pools of cry-
ktal clear water but few poets have
tested the bacteria content of
these same pools. Drinking from
open pools, brooks or streams is
always dangerous. Just because
they are clear and sparkling is no
indication that they are safe. Is
you well, water safe? Your local
health department will be glad to
test it for you.
Summer Sniffles
There are few things more mis-
erable than a cold in the middle
of a summer heat wave, but such
colds are not- uncommon and are
easily contracted. Many • are
brought on at night when suffer-
ers from the heat peal off the bed

by removing their breeding placLs

and apply oil solutions to larger
breeding grounds. Infants espec-
