Mayor Gagnse is a former resident of Timmins, having been on the s‘:aff of the Hollinger for a number of years. The family have many friends here who will be interâ€" ested in the report of the observance of the silver wedding. The following is the article from The Rouynâ€"Noranâ€" da Press:â€" Mayor and Mrs. Gagne Honoured Friday was a‘ day Mayor and Mis. Romauld Gagne won‘t soon forget. From early in the morning, when a high mass was celebrated in their honâ€" or, until late at night, as friends dancâ€" ed at a party where they were the guests of honour, they were continually aware that they had been married for 25 ysears. Their silver anniversary brought them hosts of good wishes by word, by wire, and by presents. Rev. Father A. Pelletier, assisted by Rev. Pathers Simard and Lemay, offiâ€" ciated at the solemn high mass in the morning at St. Michael‘s church. His Excellency RBishop Rheaume, of Timâ€" mins, was present in the sanctuary. The choir, under the leadership of Leopold Larouche, was larger than usual. Some of the members of Rouyn‘s first choir took part, reminisâ€" cent of the day when Mr. Gagne was president of that musical organization. After the mass there was a reception at Le Foyer, where Mayor and Mrs. Gagne and their relatives from other parts of Quebec and Ontario greeted townspeople. Rodrigue Gagne, mayor of St. Bruno de Guigues and brother of Rouyn‘s mayor, was there, Ubald Gagne, another brother, from Earlton, Mrs. Dusureault, Montreal, Mr. Gagne‘s sister, and many others. Make Presentations At eight o‘clock in the evening, Mayor and Mrs. Gagne were guests of honour at a banquet at Le Poyer. Among those at the head table were His Excellency Bishop Rheaume, Rev.

Dr. Rioux offored congratulations particularly on behalf of the school commission. â€" Mayor Gagne was one of its firs; members, he remarked. When talking to pupils in Rouyn schools, the doctor said, he often uses St. Lin as a bright example of a small community that has turned good men, among them Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Rev. Father A. Pelletier, Msgr. Monahan andâ€" Mayor Gagne. . Speaking for the St. Jean Baptiste Society, Dr. Rioux said that Mr. Gagne had always been prominent in Frenchâ€"Canadian organizations. Proâ€"Mayor Albert® Plants brought the greetings of the other councillors and the town ecmployees, as well as his own. J. P. Cote, Val d‘Or, a pionser of the north who has known Mr. Gagne for many years, said that the reason Rouyn‘s mayor has been successful in so many things is that he is couragsous and energetic. Ernest Carrier said that allhough he was not of the same political belief as Mr. Gagne, he had always been a firm friend and that young people might well emulate the sexample of their friendship in which they have courageâ€" ously and respectfully discussed their differing beliefs. Rev. Father Richard reminded the mayor that when Rouyn South was first dumped in his lap, he didn‘t seem to like the infant much. But, he said, the mayor is now coming to love the growing child. He thanked him for his interest in the new community. Boyhood Friend Rev. Father Pelletier has known Mayor Gagne since childhood. They went to school together and, in maâ€" ture life, Mr. Gagne seemed to preâ€" cede the priest wherever he was sent. When Father Pelletier went to Timâ€" mins as Father Therriault‘s assistant, Mr. Gagne was working at theâ€" Holâ€" linger. When<â€"he came to Rouyn to open the new parish of ‘St. ~â€"Michael‘s Mr. Gagne was at the wharf to welâ€" Bishop Rheaume said the CGagnes had asked the benediction of God on their 25 years of married life that morning and that he felt sure they would be in a church 35 years hence, again dAsking blessing. When he first came here in 1925, the bishop said. he had learned that Mr. Gagne was a fine citizen who took his social duties seriâ€" ously. In the beginning there was just one Catholic parish. Now there are three. He hopes to see two more parâ€" ishes in the community before he dies. As Mr. Gagne rose to thank the people gathered at the banquet the assembly sang "Il a gagne ses epauâ€" lettes." After expressing his own apâ€" preciation and his wife‘s for the honoys paid them, he said he was particularly pleased to see Mrs. Dumulon, the pionâ€" eer woman ‘of Rouyn, and now postâ€" mistress. He had always tried to do addressed part of their renrarks. As his helpmate, they said, she hnad had great influence on him and through her own labors she has helped the church and the community.
