Judith Elizabeth Tanton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Milton Tanton, Port Perry, Ontario was given in mar- riage by her father to Mr. William Cecil Humble, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Humble, Brantford in a service at Port Perry United Church on Saturday, June 17, 1972. Rev. M. Reeves was the officiating clergyman. The bride looked lovely in a A-line floor length gown of crystalette over satin, ador- ned with lace and sleeves finished with two tiers of gathered frills. She carried a bouquet of yellow roses and white stefanites. Mrs. Ruth Cox of Port Perry was matron of honour and, the bridesmaids were Miss Pearl Humble, Brant- ford sister of the groom. Mrs. Ruth Gibson, Port Perry, sister of the bride, and Miss Darla Thomas, Port Perry. They were gowned in floor length dresses of flowered print nylon, with long sleeves and empire bodice in yellow, orange and white. Miss Nancy Gibson, Port Perry niece of the bride was flower girl in a similar dress of yellow. All the bride attendents carried daisy flower arran- gements. ' The best man was Mr. Jim McFeeters, Fenelon Falls, and the ushers were Terry Lang, Oshawa, George Tanton, Oshawa brother of the bride and Bob Humble, brother of the groom of Ottawa. Master Greg Warriner, nephew of the bride was the ring bearer. The reception was held at the Port Perry United Church, followed by a gathe- ring hosted by Mrs. Ruth Gibson in her home. The bride's mother greet- ed the guests at the reception in a floor length floral blue PLUMBING dress accented with a pastel blue bodice. Here access- ories and a corsage of yellow roses completed the ensem- ble. The groom's mother chose an aqua flowered, nylon print gown with matching accessories and a corsage. Following their honey- moon to Manitoulin Island, the couple chose to reside at Aberdeen Street, Oshawa. Guests were present from Brantford, Toronto, London, Ottawa, Oshawa and Port Perry. Oshawa 'man killed on Highway 7A A single car mishap early Sunday morning at the intersection of Highway 7A and Durham County Road 57 has claimed the life of a young Oshawa man. Joseph P. Strychalski, 22, of 666 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, was killed when he was thrown from a car after failing to negotiate a left turn onto the County Road from Highway 7A. The deceased was alone in the car. A spokesman for the Newcastle Detachment of the OPP said the car was proceeding easterly on 7A. After the driver failed to negotiate the left turn onto the County Road, the car slid sideways on the shoulder, struck a stop sign, and then flipped over. The accident occurred sometime between 2:15 and 5:00 a.m. Sunday morning, and was investigated by Const. J.J. Chalmers and Corp. L.R. James of the Newcastle OPP. - HEATING Sewer Connections QUALITY WORKMANSHIP PHONE 985-2581 ART PETROZZI Chatham, Ontario. July 18, 1972, Damage to the Ontario winter' wheat crop from the June 10th weekend frost has reduced total expected yield by an estima- ted 1,462,000 bushels or about 9 percent, according to the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board. The marketing board has just completed a survey of elected county wheat com- mitteemen across the pro- vince and has returned an analysis to them which was as follows: At the time of writing on July 14th, fifty-one survey forms had been returned out of the total list of 71 mailed out, Variance in the forms - returned made analysis very difficult. Some reports of total loss and some of no loss leave many questions con- cerning what the average loss from frost might be. It's also recognized that at the time of survey distribution, some areas were not ad- vanced sufficiently to take a kernal count and that some areas thought to be free of damage may prove other- wise once harvest starts. Since no official estimate of winterkill or spring water damage has been made, we have made allowance for a nominal 5 percent reduction for this factor in order to determine acreage left for harvest. So this is the way our latest analysis appears including frost damage- allowance: Seeded acres last fall 405,000. Winterkill and Frost reduces Ontario spring damage 5 percent 20,250. Acres left for harvest prior to frost damage 384,750. 2% According to survey ans- wers, the average yield is estimated at 39.2 bushels per acres, having a low of 25 and hight of 50. Thus: 384,750 acres a normal average yield of 43 bushels per acre would have meant a 16,544,250 bushel crop. 384,750 acres a 39.2 bushels will mean a 15,082,200 bush- els crop for '72. Total expected loss due to frost damage - 1,462,050 bushels. Reports of rust damage, loose smut and allowances for a few fields plowed down or cut for sileage in Kent, Lambton, Middlesex and Huron could mean a further reduction in the total pro- duction figure will be nec- essary. Because of the many variables and doubt in many producer's minds as to condition of their crop, it is generally agreed that the real truth will not be known until combines start rolling. But, for the present, it would appear that winterkill, spring water damage and the June frost nearly can- celled out the 8 percent increase in seeded acres over the 339,000 harvested last year. That acreage, by the way, provided an estim- ated average yield of 41.3 bushels per acre for a 14 million bushel crop. PORT PERRY STAR ~ Wednesday.
