Dr. and Mrs. Jamieson Celebrate Their Gelden Wedding in Toronto RECIPIENTS OF MANY HONORS AND GOOD WISHES _ FROM THEIR TOWNSFOLK. â€" CIVIC PRESENTATION MADE TO THEM OF A "BOY FOUNTAIN." â€" MRS JAMIESON HOSTESS AT LARGE TEA IN TORONTO. Having spent the fifty years of their wedded life in Durham, sharing the sunshine and shadows of the lives of its citizens, the town this week re joices with Dr. and Mrs. D. Jamieson upon the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary Tuesday. _ Still at the helm in governmental affairs, the Doctor works every day in Toronâ€" to, necessitating his residence there for the winter months. But once the signs of Spring appear, they think of their real home â€" Durbam, and back they come. The citizens are just as glad to see them return. | After graduating in medicine, the Doctor practiced one year at Ceda-r‘ ville, then came to Durham, where he shortly . afterwards married â€" Isabel Bradshaw, Toronto. They commenced homemaking in the present Kelly residence, later purchasing the Cochâ€" rane homestead on Lambton St East, Many â€" changes and improvements made from time to time, have so "Jamiesonized" it, that it will henceâ€" forth stand as their monument. In it their son, David Bradshaw was born and reared and now in Ahis own home immediately beside, stands on guard as it were, over the comings and go ings of his honored parents. The life of this couple is so interâ€" woven with the business liie of Durâ€" ham and the political life of South Grey, that it is an open book to our readers and further comment is unnecessary. _ The Dector‘s business acumen has penetrated every manuâ€" facturing industry the town has had. Speaking along this line the Durham Furniture Co‘s success today is larâ€" gely due to his foresight. His politiâ€" cal successes were fully backed by the electors for in his long years cf medical practice, he knew the~side lines and concessions of the adjacent townships as no other man. If the kindivy and unassuming nature Aad not accompanied him however, his trips would have counted for nought. In 1898 he made his first run for the Provincial Legislature and representâ€" ed South Grey as its member from that year to 1919. _ He entered the! ficld again in 1923, was successful, and again sat in the House until 1926. The years 1916â€"1919 he was Speaker of the House ,an honor accorded to few. For the past few years back he‘ tas been Chairman of the Mothers‘ Allowance and Old Age Pension Bd., and spares no time or effort in putâ€" ting across his duties. In his multifarious duties, his wife has been a staunch support. Possesâ€" sed of a sympathetic temperament, she became the friend and confidant of many. Through contact with much suffering seen in the Dr‘s office, it had been a long dream to have a hospital established here. Due toher untiring efforts, with a few other inâ€" defatigible women, it has become a realization . But we are digressing. We want to tell of the big day there was in Torâ€" ento Tuesday, when a committee from Durham, appointed by Town Council, and a fow friends went to the city in person to convey the greetings of the town in a civic manner. . Mayor W. H. Kress read to them the address given below, coupled with a blue print of a Boy Fountain‘ which will be erected this spring at their Durâ€" tam home. This fountain is 6 ft high, the first pan 2 ft 5 inches in diameâ€" ter and the second pan 12 ft. in diâ€" ameter. It is a handsome piece of statuary and semething, we underâ€" stand, Mrs Jamieson always wanted, but which the Dr said he couldn‘t afford! It is the work and design of the Olmsted Iron Works, Hamilton. The Furniture Company was also represented by Peter Gagnon and an illuminated address, accompanied by a basket of roses, was their gift. The Red Cross Society also presented Mrs Jamieson with an address and platâ€" inum bracelet: Durham ladies bridge club presented Mrs Jamieson with a ecersage boquet of roses. There were rumerous private gifts from town friends as well as many congratulatâ€" cry telegrams. century, join as one in extending to you their felicitations upon the attainâ€" menat of this your Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary . * During your long years O among us, the esteem in 1 have been held, has ever gressive, and wehaveno h saying that our admiration greater than it is on this vocasion.

Two Goals in Overtime, Give Durham a 3â€"1 Victory Ter minutes overtime were necesâ€" sary to decide the Walkertonâ€"Dur: ham Intermediate O. H. A. clash here last Friday night, and to a 1â€"1 finish at full time, Norman Dean, gritty litâ€" tle Durham defenceman, added 2 more goals in the 10 min., giving Durham a 3â€"1 decision over their closest rivals. It is always a battle royal when Durham and Walkerton meet, and Friday was no exception. With keen: ice to start, a fast clip was set, and maintained most of the contest. Durâ€" ham took the ice minus I. Elvidge, crack right winger and leading scorer who recently underwent an operation and the team put up a brilliant effort without him. The game was a goalâ€" tenders‘ taittle, for both McDonald and Oberle blocked almost everything in regular time, with McDonald hayâ€" ing a few more stops than his opponâ€" ent. y Against Walkerton‘s shifty, speedy and everâ€"dangerous front line of Rayâ€" bould, Walker and Dudgeon, Durham displayed a wonderful defensive game the forwards backâ€"checking relentâ€" wW.

Mr MacDonald will make an exâ€" I cellent Warden, having native abiliâ€" ty, tact and judgment, a splendid memory and a ready Aelivery. _ We congratulate him and the township upâ€" on receiving this honor.

Neustadt: Reeve Allan, of | Shallow Lake. ‘ Warden MacDonald in a short adâ€" dress, expressed his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him and | Bentinck by the council as a whole, and by those who had withdrawn their nominations. It was fortunate Ifor the county that Gquite a number |‘of experienced men are â€"again repreâ€" senting the: various municipalities on the council, he stated, since there exists at present "a period of Adepresâ€" islon such as none of us can ever reâ€" Imember." Declaring that he did not believe tthm'e was any immediate prospect of »lbetter times, Warden MacDonald deâ€" Icla.red that rigid economy would have !to be exercised by the council, urging ‘lnhal the burden of taxation must be | made as light as possible. . He was f.sat.isfled, he stated, that all members .| of the council will strive to do what | they believe to be best for the county. Controlled Inflation Must Come, says J. C. Reade J the great problems' and movements toâ€"day affecting our Dominion. Mr. Reade declared that inflation must come in Canada soomer or later, and the longer it is delayed, the harder it will be to control. _ Miss Macphail stated the C. C. F. to be the garâ€" ment of an ideal of a better, happier and fuller life for the masses of Canâ€" adian citizens. We regret a fuller reâ€" port must be â€" withheld until _ next week.

Her death is a link broken with the Durham of 50 years ago, few of these early reall dents surviving toâ€"day. She was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Solomon: Putnam, born at Merrickville, a deâ€" scondant of United Empire Loyalist stock. It may be interesting to readâ€" ers to know that Catherine Hale in her volume "Canadian Houses of Roâ€" mance", writes of one which early belonged to deceased‘s grandfather at Merrickville.
