ee Page The Haileyburian Thursday, June 11, 1959 Across the Kitchen Table By MRS. MAC There has been a great to do in the papers recently regarding the banning of plastic bags for com- mercial use because of the dan- ger of young children getting smothered while playing with them. To me, it seems the height of foolishness to condemn _ the plastic bag, which is one of the greatest advances in years, in the Sanitation of food, because a few mothers are careless or thought- less enough to give a small baby a plastic bag to play with. It's bad enough to give them something like that but to go and leave them alone with it, is worse. I grant you, they can be dangerous, but what about poisons, strong medicines, electrical outlets and appliances, to mention only a few? Anyone of them have just as much potential danger as the plastic bag, but we have to learn to live with them. Education, outside the schools as well as in, is a necessity and a good product should not be banned because of the carelessness of a few. OS aT It was rather nice to learn last week, that the month of May was the warmest experienced during any year since 1894, Even tho' we growled mightily about the few cold days, the records don't lie. And aren't the flowers coming on apace? I was afraid that some of my roses would have been wint- er killed, but not one of the seven- teen varieties, (I have climbers, tea roses, florabundas and the good old fashioned pink rose,) suf- fered from the cold as much as I did, at least, they didn't complain as much, and they are all leafed out beautifully. Three years ago I got a small flowering crab and this year it's over six feet high and has twenty lovely clusters of blossoms. (Yes, I counted them!). ' A Prayer To make rough places plain and crooked straight, To help the weak, to envy not the strong, } To make the earth a sweeter dwell- ing place, In little ways, great, And in the world to help the heav- enly song, We pray, Lord Jesus, grant to us Thy grace. or if we may, in Newsprint accounts ffor some 15 per cent of Canada's exports. Ladouceur - Bouffard A very pretty wedding took place at the Holy Cross Cathedral, Hail- eybury on Saturday, May 30, 1959, when Marie Rose Georgette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bouffard of Rouyn, Que., became the bride of Alfred Joseph Ladou- ceur, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ovide Ladouceur of North Cobalt. Rev: Father L. Brunette performed the ceremony. Sister Auguste play- ed the wedding music and Miss Marie Bouffard, sister of the bride, sang very sweetly during the cere- mony. Given in marriage by her broth- er, Mr. George Bouffard, the bride was lovely in a street length gown of blue embossed lace with a dus- ter to match, white hat, blue shoes and gloves and carried a white prayer book covered with flowers and white streamers. She was attended by Miss Ther- esa Ladouceur as_ bridesmaid, daintly attired in a street-length gown of yellow nylon over taffeta, yellow flower, covered bandeau, white shoes and gloves, and wore a corsage of yellow roses. Mr. David Ladoucer was best man for his brother. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party went to the Silver Room of the Hotel Haileybury where a sumptuous luncheon was enjoyed by a large number of rela- tives and friends and the tasty evening meal was served at the Community Hall in Cobalt. Receiving at the reception was Mrs. George Bouffard, attired in a two piece brown flowered gown, and Mrs. Ovide Ladouceur attired in a navy blue flowered gown with a navy duster. In the evening the reception was held also in the Community Hall in Cobalt, where dancing was kept up till midnight, and the couple re- ceived a very large number of pretty and useful gifts and carry with them the best wishes from a host of friends for a long and happy life. Friends attended- from Elliot Lake, Blind River, Garson, Sud- bury, Englehart, Rouyn, Latchford, Guiges and the Tri-Town. After a short wedding trip the happy couple will reside in Elliot Lake where the groom is employ- ed.

The idea of the reunion was con- ceived in 1935 and as many as pos- sible of the original members of the contingent meet in a different city each year. It is interesting to note that the contingent was made up of 59 Scouts from Ontario, 33 from Saskatchewan, 26 from Al- berta, 12 from Quebec, two trom Manitoba and one from British Co- lumbia, all under the command of Lieut.-Col. F. Minden Cole, Assist- ant Commander H. G. Hammond and Capt. R. S. Wilson, Commis- sioner for Ontario. Among the Ontario group were Scoutmaster H. H. Henshall and Scout Graham Hennessy, both of Haileybury and Clifford E. Taylor. of Cobalt. Mr. Henshall now lives in Berlin, New Jersey and Clif- ford is Dr. C. E. Taylor of Tim- mins. 'There were 24 at this year's re- union, including Captain Hammond who is now 88 years of age. En- tertainment included a chartered motor boat trip through the Thous- and Islands and a tour through the St. Lawrence Seaway area. If it's all the same to history, it need not repeat itself.
