I do it this way. I look about me at all the men and women I know, and they come from all classes of society. Some are quite sad while others are joyfully alive and gay. Then I ask myself what rules apply to the happy and what rules to the sad. If you are determined to join the sad group, make up your mind that outside circumstances are extremely important to you. In other words, take the attitude that happiness is a gift from the world to those lucky people who 'get all the breaks." Once A quiet wedding of much local terest took place at Trinity Anglican Church, on Saturday, December 29th, 1956, at three o'clock, when Miss Marlene Florence Weston, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert V.

He had been in failing health for some months and had spent the past few weeks in hospital. Before coming to live in Colborne he had resided in St. Louis, where he was a railway auditor. Since his residence here he engaged in the canning business. He owned factories in East Colborne, Bamford. Simthfield and Salem. AH of these be bad sold except the one at Smithfield. He was a keen business man and an expert in financial affairs. He was "most devoted and active member of Trinity Anglican Church. Serving this Church as a Warden 1931-1934, it would be impossible to reiterate the many ways he helped in this Church. Last year he donated a staihed glass window in memory of his wife, who died March 1st, 1955. He was a member of the Colborne Lawn Bowling Club. Although a resident of Canada, he always kept his American citizenship, therefore he took no part in municipal or political affairs He is survived by one sister, Miss Winifred Joslin, Long Beach, Calif. Interment in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendj.le, Calif. ADJUST TO RETIREMENT Being able to adjust themselves to retirement may add many years to the lives of those who retire from a busy job. An active person who leaves a job for a life of idleness may actually decrease his life expectancy by years Ten years at least is not too long to spend in experimenting with hobbies and compensatory occupations to take the place of the old career. By trying out these ways of spending the long sparetime of the future, the pre-re-tired should enjoy the period of preparation and benefit from the results later. count on being a permanent member of the sad group: they are 100 per cent dependent on circumstances outside themselves. However, I'm hoping you'll have a thrilling horoscope for 1957 by making up your mind right now that young 1957 is as impersonal as a total stranger, and doesn't even know you are alive. 1957 has nothing against you, will play no favorites, and will leave it entirely up to yourself as to what you make of it. Suppose, for adventure's sake, you decided that in 1957 you will extend yourself to the limit of your abilities; that you will, no matter what your job, do it the very best you know how. Suppose just for the fun of it that you are going to try your best to give to society a lot more than society could possibly return to you. Do you begin tr> guest what would happen? I i sure you have guessed. It is impossible to give out more than you will get back; that's a sort of natural law, you know, that none of us can change. In certain connections It is referred to as a Divine Paradox, and is put this way, "It is In giving that we receive; it is in loving that we are loved; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." Wouldn't it be a wonderful 1957 here in this great free land of ours if everybody decided, all at once, to apply that law to our own lives? Within the year we would become the happiest, most prosperous and powerful country even known in this universe. Shall we give it a whirl? Canadian egg eaters: Per capita in 1 "55 Canadians ate 24 dozen eggs against 24.4 dozen in 1954. Canadians, on an average, each eat better than five pounds of turkey annually. LEE--KENNY Old St. Andrew's Presbyterian Manse, Percy Street, was the scene of a quiet wedding on Saturday, Dec. 29th, when, before a background of multi-colored mums, Rev. L. M.

RECEIVES PRESENTATION FROM HIS CHURCH Mr. Joseph Cornelius, formerly of Waldemar, near Orangeville, has come to this village to make his home with his son-in4aw and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Island. At Christmas time, Mr. Cornelius received a beautiful Kroehler cushioned chair. This was a gift from the congregation of Waldemar Presbyterian Church in recognition and appreciation of his long years of faithful service to this church. For many years he held the office of Elder and was the Bible Class teacher. It is the hope that Mr. Cornelius will have many years to enjoy this gift from the' church he so devotedly served for a long period of his life. WHY PRAY? Pray? Why pray? What can praying do? Praying really changes things, arranges life anew. It's good for your digestion, gives peaceful sleep at night And fills the greyest, gloomiest day with rays of glowing light. It puts a smile upon your face, the love note in your tone, Makes you fit to live with others, "and fit to live alone. Pray? Why pray? What can praying do? It brings God down from Heaven to live and work with you! --The Builder (Kiwanis) CASTLETON BRANCH UPPER CANADA BIBLE SOCIETY Collection at meeting...............$ 4.85 Sunday School, stamps ........... 7.00 Mrs. D.
