Many older people were alarmed by this, forgetting perhaps how stultifying outmoded manners and standards were for them in their own early years. Well, the six ties were troubling, as even periods of essential change always are, and one of the most troubling happenings was the apparent breakup of the family. Apparent because the flight from the nest took place over a com- paratively short period of time and now the family hearth seems no longer so broing and restrictive as it once was. Keeping in touch with ones kin is a form of pocket history; generations interweave, news and ex- periences are exchanged and everyone profits by broadened horizons. Family reunions dot the summer months as never before. Familes are certainly no longer the same but they sure haven't disappeared. Read on. We are grateful to Pearl Couves for the following account: A good holiday would be looking up one's family tree and that is exactly what Pearl and Art Couves did. Fired by the enthusiasm of their daugh- ter, Lilian Reesor, Mr. and Mrs. Couves flew to England last spring to meet relatives and extend an in- vitation to a Familyreunion proposed by Dr. Cecil Couves of Edmonton for August 1, 2, 3, 4. the reunion was tremendous success and closed with a church service in which the min- ister, the organist and the soloist were all members of the Couves clan. Between 80 and 100 people were pre- sent, representing six Canadian provinces, England, of course, and many overseas territories. Locally those who travelled west for the occasion in- cluded Mr. and Mrs. Art Couves, Mrs. Danny Reesor and children, Mr. and Mrs. Art Brown from Scarbo- rough and Mr. Ed Couves of Alderwood. Prior to 1900 most of the Couves men were seafarers, their home port Grovesend, England. They settled in or retired to all parts of the globe. Cap- tain Charles Crafter Couves invented the Couve's Wave Subdiver. A number of Couves are still Trinity House Pilots in charge of steering and berthing ships between the Thames mouth and the port of London. Lilian Reesor was the guid- ing genius of all this and is to be heartily congratulated on the results of her re- search and zeal.
