Grawbarger, Restoule, became the bride of Joseph Stevenson, Hampton, at a pretty afternoon wedding on Sep- imber 9th, at Trinity United lêhurv,& Potwassan. The groom is son ottrs. T. Stevenson and the late Mr. Stevenson, Hampton. 1ev. Penman officiated. The bride wore a floor length gown of pink sheer fashioned with tight bodice and bouffant skirt. Her fingertip veil of pink net was held in place with a coronet of orange blossoms which was worn by her mother at her wedding 28 years ago. She also wore a gold wrist watch, the gift of the groom. Mrs. Herbert Edwards, the bride's aunt, was matron of honor and wore a floor length frock of white sheer with sweetheart neckline and full skirt. She wore a coronet of white flowers in her hair. Mrs. Beatnice Hummel was bridesmaid for her sister. She chose blue sheer frock fashioned with sweet- heart neckline and full. skirt, with pînk straw hat and corsage of pink roses. Mr. Harold Stevenson was groomsmnan for his brother. Following the ceremony the re- ception was held at the home of the bride's parents where the bride's mother received in a black crepe dress with white accessories and corsage of pink baby gladioli. She was assisted by the groom's mother who wore a navy blue crepe fnock with matching acces- sories and a corsage of pink roses. The bride and groom left for a trip to New Liskeard and other northern centres. For travelling the bride changed ta a navy and white suit and red accessories. The happy couple are residing in Hampton. Hoar-Chesney With a number of out-of-town guests in attendar. ce, the marriage af Miss Frances Rose Chesney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Chesrney, Windsor, ta Mr. Lloyd Sidney Hoar, of No. 7 Elementary Flying Training School, Windsor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney T. Hoar, Bowmanville, took place September l9th, in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Windsor, with 1ev. Dr. H. M. Paulin of- ficiating. Autumo f lowers in ahl their brilliant hues formed a back- ground for the ceremony, and the bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was lovely in a gown of ivory Chantilly lace, made with a long, fitted torso, long sleeves and a full skirt ex- tending into a train. She wore a peari necklace, the gift of the bridegroom, and her finger-tip veil of illusion was held ta her head in a heart-shaped halo. Her bouquet was of Joanna Hill roses ý" .W .Dim ,woat- tenaed her sister as matron of honojr, Lgore American Beauty taffetîi.Ptade princess style, with a tiered skirt, and her headdress was heart-shaped, holding in place <a shoulder-lengfh veil of the same hue, and she carried a semi- colonial bouquet of bronze bebe chrysanfhemums. Miss Olive French, in brick rose, and Mrs. Frank Conrad, in aqua- marine, the similarly sfyled frocks of embossed faffeta, made wifh long torsos and full skirts, wene bridesmaids. They wore mafching SCOTTJSH HOSPITALITY (Fergus News-Record) If you see many soldier letters, you must notice how many of the Canadian boys hike for Scotland as soon as they get an extended leave. The word seems to have got around that up in Scotland they know how to treat the boys right. And nlot one ever writes back to say that he has been dis- appointed. That seems rather strange, and we cannot quite understand, prob- ably because we were flot able to go to Scotland. We cannot under- stand how anyone could be more hospitable than the Enghish fri- ends we met a year ago, but ap- parently the Scots have a knack of making the Canadians feel at home. 110w often have you read, "They seem more like ourselves," in Canadian soldiers' letters? That would be expected, perhaps, of boys whose ancestors came from the Land of Hilis and Glens, but it seems to be equally true of al Canadians, no matter what the ancestry of their parents may have been. 0f course, the English people must fiiid our boys a problem at times. There must be many a young Englishman hot under the collar because some young Cana- dian came along and married his girl. And the boys in the Army do get into mischief at times. We heard of incidents, usually amus- ing, but undoubtedly annoying as well. Last week, Newsweek, an American publication, told of one - of these which seems te have pro- vided a laugh for the United States soldiers, but which was no laughing matter for a group of English mothers. A uine of baby carniages stood outside a big store. The Canadian soldiers mixed up the babies, changing them al around, se that mothers came out and wheeled home the wrong ones. It is said to have taken a day to straighten things out. Scotland hasn't had to put up with that kind of pranks. heart-shaped headdresses and car- ried fan-shaped bouquets of gla- dioli. Mn. Kenneth Chesney, the bride's brother, assisted the bride- groom as best man, and Mr. Dim- mock and Mr. William H. Brewer, of No. 7 E.F.T.S., were the ushers, while Mrs. William Rose was the vocal soloist, singing "Because" during the signing of the negister. A neception at the Prince Ed- ward Hotel followed. The bride's mother was gowned for the occa- sion in gallant blue, and wore a matching felt hat, and a corsage of pink roses and pale blue del- phinium; while the bridegroom's mother was in wine crepe, with a matching hat, and wore Joanna Hill roses and delphinium. The bride's grandmother, Mrs. Rose Chesney, of Paris, was in air force blue, and wore a black hat and pink roses and bebe chrysanthe- mums. The couple left later for a two weeks' trip north, the bride tra- velling in an olive green dress, with a brown hat, and on their neturn will live in the Waverly Court, on Goyeau street. Guests from a distance at the wedding were Mrs. Edith Ander- son, of Toronto; the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney T. Hoar, and Miss Marion Werry, of Bowmanville; Aircraftman Aldin J. Hoan, of St. Thomas; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wilson and Mrs. Philip Gassien, of Detroit. Women TOURING CANADA Major-General Jean Knox Controllen General and Dinector of the Auxiliary Territorial Ser- vice of Great Britain, who will pay an officiaI visit f0 headquan- tens of Milifary District No. 3, Kingston, on Friday, Octoben 2. General Knox, who will inspect personnel and establishments of the Canadian Women's Armny Corps in that area, is the only woman major genenal in the Bni-i tish Commonwealth and the youngest major general in the world. CommunityPattern By Norma Elizabeth Hooey, Burketon, in The Farmer's Magazine Cartwright is a community of farmers; and in war fime, their wives play the role of the active farmer in what has previously been known as the exclusive wark of the maie. In addition ta run- ning a household in their capable manner, they have broadened to field and stable, where they are becoming as much at home behind the tractor and binder as they have been behind the wheel of an automobile. They are enlarging flocks of poultry, milking cows, and some are the pnoud possessors of fine flocks of sheep. They plan meals that are full of nourish- ment, and the conservation of sugar enfers the problema of menu planning. Last week I attended a com- bined meeting of the township branches of the Red Cross at one of the homes. Thene was the same spirit of zeal in this organization. These women, who are so busy duning the day, are willing ta spend their spare moments at night piling up the enormous quantities of sewing and knitting that find their way ovenseas fromn this centre. Neanly 1900 kniffed articles, 350 articles of clothing, 282 hospital supplies, 319 quilfs have already been sent by the Red Cross Society. The new quota for the summer is langer than ever, but the women hastily endorsed the motion that the whole amount of sewing and knitting be under- taken. They plan ta send a sub- stantial quantify of honey over- seas, as Well as jam, for the ladies have no intention of lefting the supply of bernies in the district go ta waste. A Donnybnook Fair is planned ta be held in Blackstock, and from previous records of attend- ance, if is obviaus that this event will be a success. The boys and one nursing sister fromn the com- munity who are serving ovenseas, are delighted ta receive fromn time ta time the boxes of comforts and necessities sent by the local Wo- men's Institufe, church organiza- tions, and the Red Cross. Numer- ous quilfing bees have been held in the Halls by Women's Insti- tutes; and long inta the evening the zealous members stifch on, creating quilts thaf are as beauti- ful as they are full of comfort. Individual self-sacrifice is evident as well, for many are forwarding ta relatives in the British Isles parcels that must be received with sincene gratitude. The schools are nof behind in thein war effort. They hold con- certs. make afghans and knitted articles for the men in the ser- vices. They support the Navy League, the Red Cross Society, and one of their favoites-the British Wan Victims' Fund. The combined schools hcld Moving Pictures of Canada's Past, pre- scnted by Dr. L. B. Williams, and nealized $47.55 for the British War Victims' Fund. One of our schools beld an auction sale and raised over $30.00 for war work. My own school,-and I am veny proud of the efforts of my twenty young- stens, has contributed $7755 for war work and parcels overseas. Salvage is another feature 0f the wonk carried on, and my pupils collected aven twa tons of papen, mron and glass. Other scboals are warking in their particulan fields. In closing, I would like ta men- tion the work of these cbildren in the general pattern for war tume. They are a group of intelligent and earnest young people, who are faking a keen infercst in the events of the day. They are fanm- ing their opinions of this gneat canflict, and I am glad ta see the swclling patriotism fowards the Mother Country; and the acts of gracious living which these girls and boys are extcnding ta those less fonfunate than we. It is very apparent ta me as I work each day with these yaung Canadians, that aur stnuggle to save demo- cracy holds greaten newards than even we have dreamed. New Curate: "And wbat did you think of my sermon last Sunday, Mns. Jones?" Mrs. Joncs: "Beautiful, sir, and so insfructive. We didn't knaw whaý sin was until you came bere.' Everyone has a possession he pnizes above all others. If may be a Bible, a glove, a rare book, a pressed flowen, or a newspapen clipping yellowed with age but whatever it is its value cannot be estimated in tenmas of gold. Out af Orono there is a man who has passed the 95th milestone. In a life that long one would have the oppotunity f0 gather many things which could be cherished. 11e has two things with which he would not part. One is a fur cap and the othen a taîl silk hat. The tal silk hat he wore at his wedding 65 years ago. There is a story fold of the finding 0f a man living in e the trenches i France long after the war, wha did not know the war was over. A parallel ,, , case cropped up in Bowmanville last week. In Juvenile Court, Tuesday, Magistrate Gee questioned the father of one boy and the mother of another as to their religion. Both replied "Methodist" ta the amazement of evenyone in court. After ail, the Methodist Church (except for the Free Methodlsts which number 3,461 according f0 this year's Can- adian Almanac) ceased to exist in Canada on June 10, 1925. On that date the United Church of Canada came into being, absonb- ing the Mefhodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches, and the Local Union Churches of Western Canada. Bofh parents admitted. that they were nof at- tending negularly and had not been there for quite a while but were non-committal when the THE MIXING BOW[ BD' ANNE ALLAN Hydro Horne iconomias Succulent Seasonal Fruit Hello Homemakers! It's the suc- culent fruit season - when meals are as husky as appetites. You will want desserte thaf are ne- fneshing - tempting, juicy, raw fruits provide the answer. Since vifamins and minerals have made the headlines, we are "fruit-con- sciaus" and we know, fao, that raw fruits cobtain more of the necessary healfh-giving elements than cooked anes. And dan't forget thaf cante- loupes, honeybalis, honeydew and Persian melons, and wafermelons nequire neither cooking non su- gar. Other nefneshing fruits now in season - plums, peaches, pears and grapes - may be served either singiy on combined wifh other fruits. Wben you bning your Red Cross companion home for lunch, it's easy and correct ta serve a des- sert of crackers and cheese along wifh a bowl of deliciaus piums or clusters of rich-looking grapes, washed and cbiiled. For effective- ncss, mix your fruits and calons! Serve a deep purple plum with a golden peach and an ivory-whif e pean - lovely ta look at, delight- fui fa caf. Recipes Honeydew Melon wlth Grapes 2 honeydew melons, 1 bunch of white grapes, seediess pre- ferred, 8 teaspoans corn sy- nup. Cuf melon inta four pieces. Sprinkle each with a teaspoon of syrup. Arrange the sections of melon on a service tnay and gar- nish each with a smail bunch of grapes. Luncheon Fruit Plate On the lunchean plate, arrange tender, crisp, crinkly spinach leaves and, in the centre, a mound of cottage cheese. Then arrange sliced fruits alternating and aven- lapping in a swirled effect. Use sliced peaches and red appies, grapefruit sections and balis of melon. Provide French dressing, salad dressing or mayonnaise. Three Melon Cup In sherbet glasses place firsf a nnw of cubed watermelon pieces, then anc row of cubed canfeloupe. Place Persian melon baîls on top. Serve witb a wedge-sbaped piece of lemon on lime. Take A Tlp Readers who paf iot icaily in- quire about saving hot wafen may like some suggestions fa heip theni carry on their good work: 1. Neyer run the hot water fap unnecessarily. 2. Neyer let hot water taps drip. 3. Save ail youn personal laun- dry and do if ail together. 4. Soaking dirfy ciothes over- night saves hot water. 5. Wash ail prepanation dishes along with the meai dishes, bav- ing thoroughly scraped fhem. Use washing soda in the wafer ta ne- move the grease. 6. Neyer wash under nunning water. 7. Fi the bath by running the cold water first, then adding cnough hot waten to make if luke- warm. 8. ýUse less water in yaur bath tub. The Question Box Mns. B. D. asks: "What causes magistrate asked 'how long?" The mnother of the one lad shifted the blame on the church (Meth- odist?> by suggesting that they were waiting for the minister f0 cail. No, she did not know the name of the present one or the previous one, for that matter. Well, if she has waited 17 years for the Methodist minister to cal on her, we'ne afnaid she will have a long time to wait yet . . . un- less she moves f0 a community where there is a Free Methodist Church.

Soldiers' Rest Room Has Catered To Over 4,000 Uniformed Men Oven 4,000 unîfonmed men from ail parts of the world have en- jayed the hospitaiity of the Sol- diers' Rest Room in Bowmanville since it was opened in Decemben, 1941.,1 Mns. Sftanley Beckett, spokes- man for the War Services Club which nperatPei the room, said yesfenday that the executive be- lieved if was the anly one of ifs kind in Canada where everything was 'free for the asking."

The lafchstring is ouf 24 houns of the day. Two ladies are on duty af the room every evening and are sup- plied from the membership of the fhree co-operafîng womcn's -,on- ganizations. In the winfen there are two on duty each affennoon as weil. Sunday nighf is open nighf and there is usually enfertainmenf and a sing-sang. As many as 50 men have gafhered there on a Sunday night. In the cold weather as many as 15 have spent the night there. Tea or coffee, sandwiches and cake are senvcd f0 the men free of charge. Thrôugh arrangements with the governmenf, the commit- tee is able fa procure the nequired tes, coffee and sugan. Mrs. Beckett pointed ouf that the door is "neyer locked" and that a man may came in and make himself comforfable, and if there is no one there he may go ahead and get himself something ta caf as the supplies are handy.
