MACK * Local Poet Wed Fifty-Five Years + Praises Oshawa The hospitality of friends and the kindness of neighbors have made Oshawa the ideal place to live for Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Mack of Arlington Avenue who observed their 55th wedding. anniversary last week. They were married in Bat- tersea, a district of London in 1893, and came to Canada in 1904, and according to Mr. Mack they have never regretted the move for an instant. They have seen many changes in Oshawa and they think it is all for the better. Some things that Mr. Mack mentioned partic. ularly were the growth in population which was between four and five thousand when he first came, and the old hotels which have disap- peared. Finnegan's hotel, he recalled was where the Mark's Theatre now stands, the Queen's occupied the present site of the Robert Simpson Co. and a third was on the spot occupied by the Canadian National Express Co. Mr. Mack who loves a game of checkers and is a keen fisherman has another unusual pastime which gives him unlimited enjoyment. He has a flair for writing verse, and any incident, grave or gay, he can set to metre and rhyme. He has collected many of his poems in a scrapbook which is a treasured pos- session. It contains congratulatory letters from George McCullough of The Globe and Mail, Col. R. S. Mc- Laughlin and Mr. Harry C. Hatch, all of whom had received topical ditties from this prolific rhymester. Mr. Mack has also been an adept at playing the banjo and the con- certina and as many of his verses lend themselves to song he has been able to sing them to his own ac- companiment. : "It's not highbrow poetry," he modestly confessed, "it just comes to Anniversary * in Line and Verse me, from the things I see and hear about, and the people I meet." This is probably why the simple little verses have such an appealing down.to-earth quality. ; One is dedicated to a little child who died tragically as a result of burns; another sings of the ma. Jestic trees across the street, brav- ing the winter storms and affording summer shade. A third is a merry little ditty about the Oshawa buses and the types one sees getting on and off.' Others are connected with incidents in the verse maker's life; some are of a patriotic nature, and many reflect the companionship shared with his wife and help- meet. In the autumn of their days, Mr. and Mrs. Mack are made happy by the fact that all their eight children are married and comfort- ably settled. Their four sons are Mr. W. A. Mack Jr., of Orillia, Mr. Edward Mack of Grimsby, Mr. Nor= Mr. W. A. Mack, of Orillia; Mr. Edward Mack of Grimsby, Mr. Nor- man (Buster) Mack of London, Ont., and Mr. Fred Mack, Oshawa. Their daughters are, Mrs. Garfield | Ramshaw (Edith) of Oshawa, Mrs. Albert Chandler (Daisy) of To- ronto, Mrs. George .Houfstater (Betty) of Michigan, US.A., and Mrs. William Rodman (Rose) of Judging by some of Mr. Mack's lines he still has a soft spot in his heart for his Motherland, but his song of Canada portrays the deep-rooted affection he has for the land of his adoption. It concludes: * I think of all the wondrous years I've spent upon this land. The liberty, the friendliness I've met on every hand Oh Canada, Oh Canada--Our | Canada." i Oshawa. They have 17 grandchil. | dren and five great-grandchildren. | Mildred Louise Dunn Becomes a Bride In a double ring ceremony at Knox Presbyterian Church on Sat- urday, the Rev. H. F.
