Mrs. M. B. Dymond presented cach guest to the bride and groom as they stood In front of a floral background of gold- en mums, The bride of 50 years looked most charming in a Carribean blue lace dress, with side draping of chiffon. Mrs. Storey Beare, only daughter of the couple, mingled with the friends, recalling many previous gatherings in the home of her parents. Mrs. Merle Letcher, presided at the Tea table, beautiful with a centre piece of golden mums and tapers. Flowers and candles around the room made a ply and happy setting for the guests to enjoy a social cup of tea. A dinner for 28 relatives and inti- mate friends of long-standing, was held on the Tuesday evening, October 28th, in the Flamingo dining room. This was another happy occasion-- the tables appropriately decorated with mums and candles, with a three- tier wedding cake placed in front of the bride and groom. Following the dinner, Mr. Storey 'Beare, as spokes- man, paid personal tribute to "mum and dad Murray", and expressed the sincere hope that all would be together for their Diamond Anniversary. Mr. Beare called upon some of the friends for a few words, and then asked the Bride and Groom to cut the Wedding cake. Dr. M, B. Dymond, was asked to propose a toast to the bride and groom, and following jovial remini- scences, congratulations and best wishes, the guests were invited to rise and drink 'a toast. The groom, res- ponded to this toast in his own ini- mitable manner. A pleasant and happy evening was brought to a close with the friends joining hands and heartily singing "Should Auld Lang Syne Be Forgot". | This had been a very happy occasion, and as the guests parted company with Rene and John, as they are so affectionately known to so" many, the thought expressed by each one was a sincere "Lang May Your Chimney Reek". Telegrams and letters were received from Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Premier leslie Frost, Minister of La- bor, Hon. Michael Starr; Minister of Transport, Hon, M. B. Dymond; and hundreds of cards and gifts were mute evidence of the esteem in which "the Murrays" are held, not only in our own community, but wherever they are known.

Meeting - Financial Needed A general meeting of the Minor Hockey Association was held in the Club Room of the Port Perry Arena on Tuesday, November 11, at 8 p,m. The main topic discussed was O. M.H.A. Insurance for Minor Hockey players. This Insurance is provided by the Ontario Hockey Association for all minor hockey players at $1.00 per player per season. This insur- ance covers the boys with $260.00 for each accident which might occur plus £50.00 for each individual dental in- jury, with each of these sums being $5.00 deductable. This is very cheap insurance, and it was decided to make it compulsory for each boy to have this insurance before he plays organized hockey this year. A form will be sent home with every boy for his parents to fill in and sign. This form should be sent back to the secretary (Bill Harrison) accompanied by the $1.00 premium immediately as we have to file a forin with the, O.M.H.A. as to the number of boys who will be covered with this insurance. The 26c. fee which we charged the boys to play in the past few years was also discussed. It was decided ear- lier in the season to drop this 25c. fee and not charge the boys if we received enough donations to cover our expenses. The donations have not come in as fast as we had hoped for. 'If within the next two weeks we don't receive any more donations we will have to revert back to charg- ing each of the boys 25c. for playing. A letter was received from the Hon. M. B. Dymond stating that he had been talking to the Athletic Commis- sioner for Ontario about our Club. He suggested that we write to the Commissioner and give him an out- lay of our plans so that he could de- cide whether or not he will be able to help us by supplying us with some equipment. The Secretary was in- structed to write to the Commisgioner on this matter. Remember parents it takes a con- siderable sum of money to operate an organization such as ours, so if you feel you can spare a little donation the secretary will be very happy to receive it. Remember there will be another meeting at the same time and place next Tuesday. - Don't forget to send in your insur- ance premiums. Obituary ALAN KENNETH WERRY | Once again a gloom was cast over this community when it learned of the tragic death of Alan Werry, in a motor accident on No. 2 Highway, one mile West of Bowmanville. Deceased was born in Toronto, on Oct. 20th, 1935, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Melville Werry,. who now reside on Highway 7A, South and West of Nestleton. ' Alan was employed as assembler at General Motors, Oshawa. His hob- bies were T.V. Repairs, Dancing Skat- ing and Swimming. His Church con- nections were with Blackstock United. He is survived by his parents, two brothers Earl Lloyd of the Canadian Engineers, Chilliwack, B.C.; Mervin William of R.R. 1 Newcastle; and two sisters May Georgina and June Eli- zabeth at home, . Funeral service was held Nov. 1st, 1958 at McDermott-Panabaker Fun- eral Chapel, Port Perry. Rev. EK. S. Linstead of Port Perry officiated. Interment was in Nestleton cemetery. Pallbeartrs were -- Messrs. Wayne Wilson, Roger Oubndew, Ross McKee, Elwood McKee, Don McColl and Bill Laskaris, Among the numerous beautiful flowers were tokens from U.A.W.A. Oshawa; Junior Chamber of Com- merce, Oshawa; Neighbors; General Motors of Canada; Cushion Paint Shop; Blackstock Students and Staff and Group of boys who worked with him on week-ends in his brothers garage, Newcastle. Friends attended the funeral from Oshawa, Ridgeway, Toronto, Port Credit, Lindsay, Peterborough, West Hill, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, made but once a year, Port Perry and Janetville, Minor Hockey Hold General Aid Urgently Port Perry Figure Skating Club The first session of the Port Perry Figure Skating Club on Tues- day, Nov. 11 was a huge success--to say the least. Approximately 100 skaters were on the ice. An area was roped off for the pre- schoolers and beginning skaters. They were given assistance by Mrs. Arthur Brunton, Mrs. Gordon Goode and Mr. Ron McKenzie. The rest of the skaters, about 75, over the age of seven were divided into two groups. Mrs. George Stone instructed the Seniors and Miss Geor- gia Brock, the Juniors. A practice session followed and the afternoon finished with a Grand March. The Committee was very pleased with. the turnout of enthusistic skat- ers, however it was felt that the num- bers were too large and the ice areas too small for efficient instruction. It was felt if only one group were on the whole ice area at a time with one teacher and an assistant, each child would get more individual attention and would benefit from the instruc- tion. It was decided that the ice time i and instruction would have to be time- tabled as follows: Time--4.30 - 5.30 Large Ice Surface Junior--ages up to and including 12 years. Roped-Off Area Pre-Schoolers and Beginners. -- 5.30 - 6.30 Large Ice Surface Intermediate & Seniors--over 12 years. Roped-Off Area Same as above plus any Juniors who wish to practice. NOTE -- Each hour will include a lesson and practice time with assist- ance from the teachers. We hope this time-table does not inconvenience the mothers of these enthusiastic skaters, but it seems to the only fair solution at the present time to cope with the number of po- tential members. Remember that there is free skating on Mondays and Thursdays so the children do have an opportunity to practice then. United Church WMS.

LAURA COONEY In failing health for the past four years Laura Roberts, widow of Joseph Cooney, died at Peterborough on Tues- | day, Nov. 4. She was in her 80th! year. A daughter of the late Humphrey and Mary 'Roberts, the deceased was born at Port Perry where she lived for 63 years. She had lived in Peter- borough for five years. Mrs. Cooney was married at Port! Perry in 1906. Her husband prede- ceased her a number of vears ago. She was a member of the Church oi Water Shortag e Most Acute in Years The fine autumn days which we have all enjoyed have been the cause of the most acute water shortage in many years. A large proportion of the wells in this area are dry and water is being hauled to supply the needs of the many farmers and other residents. This has led to another problem. Un- authorized people have been found trying to force open the hydrants in order to fill tanks. This results in damaged water hydrants, waste of water and the extra pumping nceded to keep the water tank filled. Any person scen taking water from a town hydrant should be reported ut once to the town clerk or to the police. In order to safeguard our water supply and equipment the council have uthorized Alan Martyn of Prince Albert and the Country Cartage Ltd. of Sunderland to obtain water from the town. In this way the town will be able to keep track of the amount of water taken and so guard against depléting our own tanks which are also used for fire fighting, as well as seeing that the equipment is not damaged. : Please take note that anyone who attempts to take water without writ- ten authorization from the town of- fice, signed by the town clerk, will be prosecuted. Let us all hope and pray that rain will soon come to fill the empty wells befort the freeze up. | Fair and spend the afternoon there. England. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. [..
