She was the daughter of Silas and Mary Johnson, of the County of Addington. She was born in 1860. After the marriage of Geo, A. Rose and Emma J. Johnson, they took up 3 their home on the Rose homestead for the first four years of their married life. Two children were born to them --a boy and a girl. The daughter died in infancy. The son, Mr. Ausbert W. Fr: Rose, is an automobile salesman in jo: Hamilton. Mr, and Mrs. Ausbert Rose # and their two little daughters were 5 present at the Golden Wedding. ; For sixteen years, Mr. and Mrs. Rose farmed in Brock Township. At the end of that time they sold the farm and moved to Port Perry. Mr. Rose became agent for the Mutual} Life Assurance Company of Canada, of which he has been a successful agent for twenty-nine years. For eral years he qualified for the tury Club; and 1931, when Mr. Rose was 76 years old, he qualified for the Conservation Club, the highest honour possible for an insurance man. It was pleasant to note that the Mutual Life Assurance Company sent a very beautiful bouquet of roses to Mr. and Mrs. Rose as evidence of their good will and appreciation, at the golden wedding celebration. In politics Mr. Rose is a Liberal, and has been a regular subscriber of the Globe for fifty years. : Mr. and Mrs. Rose have been most : . highly valued members of the Port Lg Perry United Church for many years, Port Perry, Ont., Jan. 23rd, 1932 Mr. George A.

At such a time, we, your Brothers in Masonery rejoice with you that you have been spared to see so rich a life, and enjoy such happy companionship. It is surprising how the time goes. Each year has been rich in friendship, for you are a companionable man and your cheery manner has helped to brighten' many an evening when Fidelity Lodge met to discover the riches of the Grand Geometrician and Great Architect of the Universe. As time adv , these come more important-to us, as we gradually learn the true values of life. Our wish for you is that the way may grow brighter and the life richer year by year, until when you come to the porchway or entrance of eternal life, you may be admitted in strength and beauty, with a mind fully equipped to enjoy the greater riches that await you. We tender to you and to Mrs. Rose our heartiest congratulations on this the 50th anniversary of your wedding. Signed on behalf of Fidelity Lodge: D. W. McIntosh, W. M. ~ Geo. R.

How rich have been the lives of those departed Moore is a successful business man, a professor"of economics; a former head of the Tariff Board under the Mac- Kenzie King Government, and a Member of Parliament. His audience got the benefit of it all. His call to Liberals was to study and think out solutions to the problems of to-day. Rotary Clubs and: Kiwanis Clubs are discussing the Tariff, the Gold Stand- ard, Unemployment Insurance and the like. Why shouldnt Liberals in their Associations meet and debate these subjects thoughtfully and carefully? None are solved yet. And they have to be solved. Conservatives would say let a few of the "ch " decide what to do and herd the crowd into agreeing. Don't bother with the or- dinary people's opinions. They could not work out the problems if they tried. That is the Conservative type of mind. But not the Liberal. Back to the people for advice is true Lib- eral doctrine. In their quiet thought- ful moments, after taking pains to study the facts, the people will give the true advice to the leaders. And so the Central Ontario Liberal iation was organized and it is fully expected that it will play an important part in the future political destiny of this section of the province. Annual Meeting OF THE UNITED CHURCH In spite of unpleasant weather, there was a good attendance at the Annual Congregational Meeting. The reports showed that all the organiza- tions are in a healthy condition. One fact stood out clearly--the Church has lost heavily in its membership, through death and removals. And vet the work has been carried on well, and the finances of the church are in good shape. In addition to paying all ordinary expenses, nearly $2200 were given to missions by. various organ- izations within the church, which of course, includes Prince Albert. There were, also sent to the West several valuable bales of clothing for relief work in Southern Saskatchewan. "We the members of Port Perry United Church assembled at our An- nual Meeting desire to place on record our sincere appreciation of the life and service of each of the following of our members, who died since our last Annual Meeting: Mrs. John Leask, Mrs. Geo.

If ever we needed to think constructively, to-day is the day. And, like it or not, we have to think of other people beside ourselves. Ideas are revolutionizing the world, In that revolution some people gain, and some people suffer; but, consid- ered as a whole, the world is a better place in which to live than it was a hundred years ago. The standard of living is higher for the mass of the people. Consider the case of "rayon." This extremely popular material has al- most displaced wool and cotton. A change like this threw many péople out of employment, and the great manufacturers who dealt in cotton and wool set their chemists and inventors to work to find new uses for these materials. Lately has come the an- nouncement that wool can be made into a very fine grade of leather, and a big order has been placed by a manufacturer of automobiles, who will use the new leather for upholstering. This wool leather is said to be very durable and pliable, and even patent leather that will not crack can be made from it. We are now in a period of the world's history when constructive ideas are the most valuable assets we In discussing the successful com- pletion of negotiations for the flota- tion of the Province of Ontario Loan, 'Premier George S. Henry stated that he was entirely confident that in- vestors throughout Canada, and especially in the Province of Ontario, would readily subscribe the entire issue within a short time. He men- tioned that many investors had in- dicated an interest in the prospective issue, and that it would be found that the unusually high esteem in which Province of Ontario bonds have been held for many years would lead to their rapid absorption by investors. It tain the high credit standing which the Provit ot 1 had been the constant aim of the Ad- he pointed out, to main- > enjoyed, and expressed From the point of view of investors the terms had an emphatic appeal, and ugh interest rate was some- that to which the The Value of Ideas in # Changing World have. They must be ideas that fit NOW. There is no value in crying for "the good old days." They are gone, and we cannot bring them back. In some respects we do not want them to return, for they had their troubles a hundred years ago, as we have them. Their depressions were more de- pressed, and their poverty was more ugly and cruel. No person hag a mortgage on ideas, unless it be on the basis of "necessity is the mother of invention." Con- centration of thought and persistence of effort are the essentials. Ordinary people like ourselves can think quite as well as other people if we set our minds to the task, and have sufficient faith in our ideas to believe them to be worth while. In this connection there is a grow- ing need for the farmers to think and to confer, 'Pheir problems are in- creasing much as the problems of the manufacturers of cotton and woollen goods. These people cannot sit down and wait for relief. They have had to think and plan and act. But the ideas came first--thinking is essential, Three industries are in process of reconstruction--Transportation, Tex- tiles, and Agriculture. In each of these new ideas must be found. Any of us may be able to help. Thinkmg of a constructive character is essen- tial. The Provincial Loan out, further, that the Province was in a relatively comfortable financial position and that the deficit on_ordin- ary account for the fiscal year ended October 31st, 1931, would be compar- atively small, amounting to only $552,282, He stated that not only from a financial point of view would the Province of Ontario be highly regard- ed but also that the wide range of economic activities in the Province, based upon a diversity of natural re- sources, gave to the citizens a reason- able stable income from which the Province might readily draw for the debt. charges. "After all," he stated "Canadian people gave a convincing demonstra- tion of faith and confidence. in their country when they over-subscribed the 8 | Dominion National Service Loan, and when it is realized that one-third of the population of the Dominion is in the Province of Ontario, and consider- ably, more than one:third of the wealth of the Dominion is, according to Tecent estimates, centred in th "2 Province, there is no reson to doubt, -| so far"as I am concerned, that we will have gratifying reponse to te issue which will be made to-morrow." On Tuesday afternoon of last week, a silver tea was held by Mrs. Camp- bell and Mrs. W. Crawford, at the home of the former. When the ladies assembled a hymn "Blest be the Tie That Binds" was sung. A watch con- test was then held and was won by | Mrs. Robt. Archer, who received as a prize, a pair of silver salt and pepper shakers. Next on the program was a "shooting match" at which nearly all proved to be very poor marksmen. However abundant amusement was afforded the on-lookers. The match finished with Mrs. Geo. Nesbitt and Mrs. Leslie Graham ties; this neces- sitated shooting off which they did, tieing a second time. Once again they each shot, the laurels finally going to Mrs. Graham, who received a pretty embroidered .towel as her reward.
