Gordon Leask, Taun- ton, their many friends and rela- tives decided that, as it comes only once in a lifetime, it should be fit- tingly remembered. Accordingly on the evening of October 5, in order to be a reai surprise, sixty close friends and relatives assembled at the comfort- able home of the Gordon Leasks, to find the master of the house in overalls and slippers, and his wife calmly winding the clock and put- ting the cat out fgr the night. It was a real rise! Such ex- citement for a few moments! Such scurrying around and dressing up in "best bib and tucker." Beautiful baskets of 'mums and roses appear- ed as if by magic. One outstanding basket of delphiniums, 'mums and roses, was further beautified by silver ribbon and silver bells. In every room of the spacious home lovely flowers lent their beauty and charm. Especially appreciated was the gift bouquet from the Solina Women's Institute of which Mrs. Leask is a valued member. All this time several young matrons were busily transforming the dining room into a-bower of wedding love- liness. Pink and white ruffled streamers from the chandelier fes- | tooned the table which was covered | with an Irish lace cloth, and silver | bells were everywhere. Coral and | yellow roses entwined the table- | mirror, on which reposed the three- | storey wedding cake, made and | decorated by Mrs. Elmer Wilbur, and which tasted even better than | it looked. When the excitement had finally | subsided, the bride and groom of | twenty-five years were escorted by | Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Brooks, Bow- { manville, to chairs in the living- | room, to the strains of Lohengrin's | Wedding March, played by Mrs. | Robert A. Holden, Oshawa, aunt of | the bride. Mrs. Elmer Wilbur pre- | sented a corsage of bronze and gold | 'mums to the bride, and little Miss | Sharon Wilbur pinned white rose- | buds on the lapel of the groom's | coat. Mr. Everett Vice, as master |.of ceremonies, called on Mrs. Frank | Gilbert to read an eulogistic ad- dress to Marjorie and Gordon, com- menting on their happy home, their hospitality, and their enactment of the "good neighbour" policy to one and 'all, ably assisted by their charming daughter, Eunice, and their stalwart son Ewart. At the proper moment, Messrs. | Herb Rogers and Henry Ball pre- | sented the honoured couple with | gifts. A large silver "Old English | Reproduction" tray and a solid wal- | nut coffee table with glass remov- | able top, all beautifully wrapped land adorned with roses. 'The son and daughter of the house, Ewart | and Eunice, presented their parents | with lovely Gruen Precision wrist | watches in latest designs. A heart- felt response by the recipients was followed by community singing with | Mrs. Holden 'as accompanist, de- | lightful solos by Mrs. Laurence Malcolm, Nestleton and Mr. Robert A. Holden, Oshawa, and an appro- priate reading, "Sandy Maclashan's Courtship," by Mrs. W. J. Leask, Bowmanville. Card games were en- joyed during the remainder of the evening. At the head table were seated the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Holden, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Rogers. The bride, assisted by the groom, cut the wedding cake with a silver knife; and a delicious and satisfying lunch, served by a bevy of charming young ladies, was enjoyed by all.

Today the basic sup- plier of news to almost all daily newspapers is a $1,000000-a-year co-operative, with world-girdling connections, which they operate themselves. That transitiod from monopoly to co-operation, from external con- trol to complete independence, is the subject of "(CP) The Story of The Canadian Press," just publish ed here. The author is M. E. Nichols of Vancouver, retired managing di- rector of the Vancouver Daily Province and before that of the Winnipeg Tribune, He was president of CP from 1931 to 1933 and a CAP director for many years. Mr. Nichols says he wrote his 327- page book at the suggestion of other newspaper men who "earn- estly believe that the achievements of The Canadian Press deserve a place in Canadian history." L. W. Brockington, K.C., of Ottawa, who writes the foreword, goes even farther. "It could well be argued," Mr. Brockington says, "that no single happening helped more than the founding of The Canadian Press to fashion the pattern of modern Canada, to harmonize our warring economies in a growing unity and to give shape and substance not only to our apprehension of our- selves but also to our knowledge of the world forces which govern our destinies." Mr. Nichols starts his story in 1907. The Canadian Pacific, which then had a virtual monopoly of collection and distribution of news in Canada, doubled its charges for the news service supplied to the three Winnipeg daily newspapers. The author then was president and editor of the Winnipeg Tele- gram. E. H. Macklin was general manager of Sir Clifford Sifton's Manitoba Free Press and John W. Danoe its editor-in-chief. R. L. Richardson was owner of the Win- nipeg Tribune. These four decided to defy the corporation. They formed the Western Associ- ated Press, an agency destined to do the pick-and-shovel work for erection of CP. W.AP. started from scratch, in a single room. Its lineal descendant, The Canadian Press, has an annual budget of more than $1,000,000; a new head office building in To- ronto; bureaux in all major Cana- dian cities; offices manned by Can- he <> To make sure you're getting J ce BAYER tablet > Your Raincoat and Parka Needs RAINPROOFING DON'T FORGET YOUR adians in London, New York and Washington; and well-established contractual relations with other agencies which blanket the world. Turning-point in the early battle came in 1910. The W.A.P. appealed to the railway commission, which controls telegraph rates, against the high tolls its members had to pay for news transmission. In 1910, when the railway com- mission declared in favor of equal rates for all press material, the battle was over. Canadian Press, Limited, was formed early in 1911. It became a holding company for the AP serv- ice, with four almost-autonomous units: W.AP. in the west, a similar organization named Eastern Press Association in the Maritimes, and separate organizations for morning and evening papers in Ontario and Quebec. An annual grant of $50,000 was provided by Sir Robert Borden's Conservative government. Septem- ber 1, 1917, a national news service began to function, under Canadian Press, Limited, at last as a cen- tralized unit. In 1923, by act of Parliament, it became The Cana- dian Press, incorporated under the non-profit clauses of the Federal Companies Act. A year later, the Liberal govern- ment -of Prime Minister Mackenzie King withdrew the grant. The annual CP meeting in 1925, that the co-operative should "never again accept assistance from this or any other government." Since then it has stood alone, each year bringing expansion. In 1941 it set up a subsidiary, Press News Limited, to supply news to radio stations. By autumn of this year, Press News served 81 of the Mr. Nichols recalls, went on record 100-odd private stations--about double its competitor's total--and provided the basic service of the Danadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion. Latest CP venture mentioned by Mr. Nichols is a co-operative Can- adian paiture service, started Sep- tember 6 this year. . F.D.C.
