In a candlelight service on Saturday, July 16th, 1977, at 4 p.m. in St. John's Anglican Church, Port Hope, Mary Marlene McCaw of Oshawa became the bride of Charles Edward Watt of Toronto and formerly of Bowmanville. The officiating clergyman was the Reverend William Rainey and the organist, Mr. Charles Jones. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCaw, Welcome, and the groom's parents are the late Mr. and Mrs. William Watt. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a formal gown of Chantilly lace which was fashioned with a high neck, Empire waist, tailored sleeves with frilled cuffs and a ruffled, cathedral train. A matching lace head- piece held a fingertip veil and she carried a bouquet of gardenias and white roses. The maid of honor, Miss Marlene Tout, Oshawa, the bridesmaids Mrs. Helen Schaloske, Kitchener, and Mrs. Janice McLauchlan, Port Hope, wore identical formal gowns of voile in a pink, blue, and yellow floral print on an off-white back- ground with the flower girl, Miss Linda Francis, Windsor, a niece of the groom, in a pink polyester satin gown of the same style. All the gowns were trimmed in off-white lace and they carried nose- gays of pastel daisies and baby's breath. The bride's brother, Mr. Robert McCaw, Oshawa, was the best man and the ushers were Messrs. Klaus Scha- loske, Kitchener, Michael James, Oshawa, and the ring bearer was Master Mark Jenkins, London, the bride's godson. The groom wore a white tuxedo, and his attendants wore tuxedoes of ice blue. Receiving the guests at the reception held at Durham Temple, Port Hope, the bride's mother wore a sleeve- less pink gown with a match- ing sheer cape and a gardenia corsage. Leaving for a hon*ymoon in Cape Cod, the bride wore a three piece, red linen suite, a white blouse and corsage of white carnations. Guests were present at the wedding from Alberta, Sas- katchewan and various points in Ontario. Photo by R.L. McCaw. BETHANY Miss Betty Anie Morton was the recipient of many beautiful, practical gifts at a shower held in her honour on Friday, August 26. Her wed- ding to Tom Johnston of Toronto is dated for the early part of September. The hostesses for the even- ing, Mrs. Debbie Wood, Miss Lynn Argue, and Mrs. Pat Neals entertained the guests with three ~interesting con- tests. The first was to write a popular "phrase" on a clothes pin which would be good advice for Betty Anne in her married life. Debbie Woods conducted a contest on ab- breviations found in cook- books, and Pat Neals asked how observant we were and said to draw the diai part of the telephone-surprisingly no one had it correct. Helen Pry led in a short sing-song and then Betty Anne with the assistance of Cathy Leslie, opened her many gifts and thanked each person person- aily. A dainty lunch was served by the hostesses. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage gsoest out to Betty Anne and Tom.

Pete Rowett has been an active member of the Golden* Star Senior Citizens, but due to ill health, he and Inez are moving to Port Perry to live with their son, Jim and family.

Pete has many electrical tools and lawn mowers and a snow blower to sell and Inez has an automatic washer and dryer that she says "Can do all the jobs any machine can do." They spent many hours playing pool, but it must go too. We wish Pete better health and Inez and he much happiness in their new environments. The Manvers Community Centre and Arena Committee wishes to acknowledge all the people who donated articles for the Auction sale and all those who helped in any way to make it a success. Church Leaders Decry Union as "Contrary t A strong affirmation of family life and a condemna- tion of homosexual behavior have been issued by leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Robert H. Pierson, presi- dent of the General Confer- ence of Seventh-day Adven- tists (the church's world headquarters in Washington, D.C.) said this week that homosexuality undermines the basic structure of the home. "Any perversion that weakens the very foundations upon which a Christian nation is built," said Pierson, "can- The sale realized approxi- mately $18,000, and there are other articles e.g. an organ, yet to be sold.

In an earlier statement issued by the church's Wash- ington Conference (Consisting of western Washington State), a group of four Adventist leaders said the church "views a homosexual relation- ship as a union which is contrary to nature and to God's expressed will and is generally transitory in nature." The church has a responsi- bility they said, to oppose any efforts to promote pride in a type of behavior that is in complete opposition to biblical standards of morality. The statement, made at the church's annual campmeeting in Auburn, Washington, came in part as a response to the declaration by the mayor of Seattle of a "gay pride week." The statement is the first formal declaration of opposi- tion to the aims of the gay rights movement by leaders of the Adventist denomination although the church has always affirmed the sanctity of monogamious, heterosexual marriage iromt its organiza- tional beginning in 1861.

EARLYI WARNING SMOKE SIGNAL BY WESTCLGX Around-the-clock protection for houses, cottages, apartments; hotels, motels etc. Why is "Smoke Signal" so important? Because when tires start, while they are still smouldering, smoke and toxic combustion gases are silent killers. "SMOKE SIGNAL'S" loud, early warning could be crucial. "SMOKE SIGNAL" uses the dual chamber ionization principle to detect invisible "products of combustion" particles which are present as soonas a tire starts. This ionization principle is recommended by tire authorities for fast, relaible detection of ail types of tires. Battery operated. poes not depend on regular 110 VAC. Don't wait!
