REE § i p ® I THE PORT PERRY STAR zzE=z¥ w PORT PERRY, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1956 ret * - $2.00 per year, Single Copy Ge. Blacksmith Retires -- Served Port Perry and District 46 Years R. B. SMALLMAN One of Port Perry's old business establishments has "closed its doors. The blacksmith shop of R, B. Small- man is now only history. Mr. Smallman first came to Port Perry in 1908, at first in the employ of Mr. Samuel Graham who was horseshoer and blacksmith. Mr. Smallman soon purchased the busi- ness from his employer and has been giving the community the best of ser- vice ever since. Mr. Smallman did not content him- gelf with merely being a good black- smith, he also gave generously of his time and talents to the community and church. All his life he was an active member of the Methodist (now United) Church and transferred to the Port Perry Church when he came to the village.- In 1909 he was appoint- ed to the Offical Board and is now the oldest member in years of service on that Board. He is also an Elder of the Session. Many years were de- voted to the Sunday School, as a teacher and also as Superintendant, a position he held for 16 years, In 1922 he was a member of the Port. Perry Council, and helped to bring the Hydro to Port Perry and Uxbridge, jointly. Mr. Smallman is the only surviving member of that group, and has some rather interest- ing stories of 'how hydro came to Port Perry'. In 1926 Mr. Smallman was appoint- ed to the Board of Education, on which he served for nine years. Dur- ing this period he was for two years the Chairman of the Board and for one year the Chairman of Finance. A further contribution to the com- munity was his position on the Busi- ness Men's Association. He was a member from its inception and. par- ticipated actively in its work, includ- ing two years as Secretary. But Mr. Smallman's life was not all business. In 1912 he married Ethel M. Doubt, and provided a good home for his two sons and daughter. They must have received the best of home training for: they have all proved themselves in their chosen work. The Port Perry Star joins their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Smallman many years of happiness in our community. Wedding HODGINS - CHERRIE Grace United Church, Scugog, was the setting for a lovely, early fall wed- ding, on Saturday, Sept. 8th, at 4 p.m. when Mahle Eileen, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Cherrie, Scugog Island, became the .bride of Sgt. Hector, only son of Mr. and Mrs, T. H .Hodgins, of Prince Albert. The Rev. Broham performed the- double ring ceremony. ) The church was beautifully adorned with baskets of gladiolus and dahlias, the guests pews were decorated with nosegays of baby mums tied with white satin bows. The organist, Mrs, Bruce Snelgrove, Prince Albert, played the traditional wedding music and accompanied the soloist, Mrs. R. Murrin, of Toronto, sister of the groom, who sang ""O Pro- ise Me" before the ceremony. Mr. Jruce Snelgrove played a violin solo, { jaccompanied by Mrs. Snelgrove on the piano, and Mrs. Murrin sang 'Because' during the signing of the registet. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was radiant in a floor length white satin gown with long sleeved bodice of French lace with portrait neckline and full skirt ending in a chapel train. Her finger-tip veil was finished in applique of the same lace and was held in place by a beautifully hand made hat of satin and 'appliqued lace. She carried a lovers knot of yellow rose buds, The Matron of "Honour, Mrs. W. Peel, an intimate friend of the bride, attired in a ballerina length gown of silk organza over bronze shot satin, carried a star-shaped bouquet of glad- iolus, The bridesmaids, Misses Gail groom, were gowned in blending shades of silk organza over shot satin and carried matching bouquets of gladiolus. Little Cathryn Ward, cousin of the bride, was a charming flower -girl in floor-length matching gown and fan-shaped bandeau, carry- ing a basket of yellow rosebuds. Mr. Ted Williams of Prince Albert, attended the bridegroom, and Mr. Allan Chadwick and Mr. R. Murrin; both of Toronto, ushered the guests who came from Iroquis Falls, Oshawa, Toronto and other Ontario points.' Following the ceremony, the re- ception was held in the church hall, where the bride's mother received, at- tired in aqua crystalette sheer street- length dress with Beige accessories and corsage of yellow roses. The bridegroom's mother assisted wearing a pale blue printed silk dress and navy reddingote with dusty rose ac- cessories and corsage of white and pink carnations, A delicious supper was charmingly served by the ladies of the W.A, who had spared no effort to insure a com- plete success. Rev. Mr. Braham, act- ing as toastmaster introduced Rev, F. G .Joblin, a long time friend of the bride's family. With a few well-chosen remarks he proposed the toast to the bride. The Rev. R. H. Wylie of Port Perry, also present for the supper, proposed a toast to the parents, The couple left on a wedding trip to Toronto and points East, The bride chose a fitted blue gabardine suit with beige accessories and wore a corsage of pink carnations. On their return they will be stationed at Camp Borden. "Insurance is the greatest thing in the world", said the insurance agent. "No man should be without it. I even catty a $60,000 policy, payable to my wife." "It's too much", declared the har- assed prospect. "What excuse can and Mary Lynn Hodgins, sisters of the you give her for living?" This year's International Plowing Match will go down in history as one of the best on record from the stand- point entries, dttendance, exhibitors, and caterers. This may sound like a bold prediction in view of the fact the weather. Despite rain, however, the show must go on. We invariably have some unfavourable weather to contend with each year, but on the whole it does not seem to affect the general programme. Over 200 firms interested in dis- playing and demonstrating various kinds of farm equipment and 20 food caterers have purchased close to 2 miles of frontage. Most of them will occupy tents, hence the term "Tented City" now used to identify the dis- play area. It will have three streets for spectators and four roads for ve- hicular traffic. The latter will be used only by those who have pur- chased space, Tented City will have almost the equivalent in services of a municipal- ity such as hydro, water, garbage dis- posal, wash rooms, telephones, tele- type, newspaper, radio, T.V., fire and police protection and the best of eat- ing places. Besides several firms are providing a comfortable place to rest and one at least will as usual be ser- ving tea during each of the four days. Visitors to the match. will tind get- ting to the plowing demonstration fields no problem at all. Tractor drawn wagons under the sponsorship of the Junior Farmers of Ontario County will provide free transporta- tion service throughout the area. Parking will be located close in to "Tented City" and here again visitors will find this a real convenience as compared with having to walk a half mile after parking the car, as has been the case at some of. our pre- vious matches. Entries in 'plowing classes and applications for tractors are pouring in at the office of the Secretary-Manager, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto. This is the third year we have asked for advanced entries. Previously these were accepted during the match. . We fully expect there will be a total of seven Provinces participating in the Canadian Class scheduled for Oct. 11. These include British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Ed- ward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. We expéct entries from Illinois, New York, and Michigan states as was the cage last year. The two winners in this class will repre- sent Canada in the world Plowing Match at Peebles, Ohio in 1967. The Ontario Championship Class, scheduled for Oct. 10th, will draw the top plowmen in the Province, includ- ing previous Provincial Champions. From this will be picked two of the best to enter the Canadian Class on the 11th. The Secondary School Class also on the 11th will interest twenty- five schools. Two pupils make up a team and their entry is made by the school Principal. The Inter-County Class will also be keenly contested. Teams of two boys each are chosen by will be one of the important classes on the-last day, October 12th. Incidental- ly there are 47 classes in the prize list, which is almost an average of 12 per day. Two of these will be contour plowing. Competitions in farm 'welding will be held on each of the four days. This will be open to bona-fide farmers and farmers' sons. All equipment will be supplied and entries will be accepted up to 10 a.m. each day at the Admini- stration Building, Hon. W. A. Goodfellow, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, will officially open the match 'at 2.00 p.m. on Oct. 9th. Preceding the opening, guests will be entertained at a luncheon, then taken on a tour through "Tented City" on a tractor drawn wagon.
