They determined this should not pass unnoticed but thought the fall gathering would be an ideal time to offer congratulations as a community. Cool weather earlier in the day and some probs of rain caused fears that the event might have to be held indoors. But it proved a perfect evening, cool enough that millers and other bugs did not attend, even around the flood light erected high on a pole. Members suggested to their president that his wife should sit with him while he conduct- ed the programme. As car after car arrived, and the circle around the bonfire grew and doubled, it still occasioned no great wonder for there had been a special advertising drive and Marsha said to John, "It must have paid off." When most of the crowd had arrived John welcomed them on behalf of the club members and announced there would be some music, a devotional period and a sing song, then corn and weiners. would be served hot off the bonfire. John, himself, Roland Bowman, Ruth Kellogg, Croft and Liza Dinner sang several songs accompanid by their own guitars and auto harp, while a special light was beamed on the music sheets. Other members replenished the fire as it burned low. Devotions were begun by Roy McHolm and Morley Bickle played the portable organ for the singing of The Lord is My Shepherd, one psalm for which no hymn book is needed. Bruce Hendry led in prayer with everyone joining in the Lord's Prayer. John read the 150th psalm, one of praise and Rev. Kennedy gave a meditation on it. After the singing of "O for a closer walk with Thee" a benediction was pronounced by Mr. Kennedy. The president thanked Mr. and Mrs. Farrow for their considerable work in making such excellent arrangements and for the use of their property; also all others who had assisted in the prepara- tion. Song sheets were handed out and John led a sing song assisted by the singers mentioned, while the crickets hushed to listen. The trees, on three sides of this spot echoed back, "She'll be coming round the mountain" and many other favourites. When it was announced it was time to eat, Lloyd Kellogg asked John to vacate the chair for a few minutes and he told them of the plans made for this night. He passed on congratulations which had been phoned by Dr. Mac Freeman of Kingston who was unable to be present. An address of best wishes for many more anniversaries, and appreciation for the public spirited service of both Marsha and John at Wesleyv- ville and now at Welcome. was read by Tom Wilson. A gift of coffee table and nest of smaller tables was presented on behalf of the friends by Harold Symons and Laverne Farrow, a pen andpencil set bu Elmore Scott, a silver bud vase and rose by Mrs. H. Symons and a brooch by Mrs. Barbara Croft. John thanked his friends and said they had a' quiet family dinner on the date but didn't think anyone knew of the anniversary. Marsha also expressed her thanks. Just before the address was read, a beautiful three tiered wedding cake, made and decorated by Ruth Kellogg, was placed on a table before the bride and groom and individual dieces were wrapped for all present. John and Marsha came to Wesleyville from Bow- manville in 1957 and the next year was made choir leader and he has continued in that position ever since,rnow at Welcome. He has served as steward and elder and now president of the ACTS. Marsh, too, among other things,ahas taught Sunday school and served in the W.A. and later UCW where she served her term as president. They have four children, Nicki, Niel, John Jr. and small daughter, Elizabeth. Mrs. Groeneveld Sr. makes her home with them. It is hard to estimate numbers when a crowd fades into the shadows beyond the firelight, but judging by the pyramids of golden corn and baskets of weiners which disappeared, there must have been between 100 and 150. In those years, they have made many friends. Glad to report Mrs. George Tufford is feeling much better, but sorry that Mrs. Marylin McGuirck is back in Sunny Brook Hospital.

What was it like to be a student then and how do those same people see themselves now? A series of' interviews with a number of classmates from a California high school shows their views. of others and of themselves. Surprisingly the "golden Youth" who "had it all" were remarkably similar to the rest of their contemporaries both then and now. A few of the surprises were the quarterback who became a masseur, the gang leader who founded a business empire and the cheerleader who now teaches women's history. Taxi A taxi driver sees it all, from birth to death and everything in between, in the back of his cab. This is a collection of true stories all set in Toronto in which the author shows what it's like to share a small space with a series of strangers who may talk to you, throw up on you, proposition you or stick a knife in your throat. The last story makes it clear why this driver is now in a different business. Years of Sorrow, Years of Shame The treatment of Japanese - Canadians during World War II is one of the darker blots on Canadian history. Broadfoot, the author of Ten Lost Years and Six War Years uses the same style, a collection of personal stories, to remind us of this unhappy time which we should never forget.
