PROSPECT « Although Prospect is badly snow- bound, and has been for sometime, about fifty old and young folk gath- cred in-the schoolhouse on Wednesday evening of last week. "The-object of the "gathering wad to offer the com- munity's good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Vernon, who have just stepped off into the matrimonial sea. Mrs. Ver- non was Miss Elma Reesor, of Port Perry. The bride and groom were given a Ruth Leach was her sister's brides-' hearty clap when called to the plat- form, and a very youthful bride and 'groom with veil and plug hat, etc., ap- peared from the rear of the building. To the strains of the wedding march this tiny couple, who turned out to be Norma Yeo and Joyce Edgerton, car- ried the community's gift, a mantle clock, to the newly-weds. The pre- sentation letter was read by Wallace Armstrong and went as follows: Dear Bob, \-- Well, well, so you've gone and done it! Yes sir, you have broken the hearts: of all the sweet young ladies for miles around, Just look at the woeful expressions on their faces here to:night. Now, just what do you think of yourself? And the many lonely bachelars left, too--Look at the queer look on their faces. One would almost think they were jealous of you. "Thus it has been since the begin- ning of time. Men have always gladly left their homes and pals and taken upon themselves a ball and chain to carry through life, When woman smiles, how helpless is man's strength! "But although we like to kid you along a bit, Bob, we are really happy with you for we know you have taken a step toward complete contentment. wt hoi have taken you place as a man ' . hy according to the laws of both our God and our Country, and-as you face the future, hand in hand with a worthy partner, our good wishes are yours. "Youn were born not far from here, and is" was in this same old school- house you learned you A B C's along with a great many who are present to- night. It was here in Prospect you grew up to manhood, sharing with us, your neighbours, the good times and the bad times alike. You have always been willing and able to assist in com- munity ventures, and all through the]: years have shown an example of good fellowship which we appreciate. Where ever the future years may take you, please remember that a hearty hand- shake awaits you back in Prospect. "And now, Elma, we people of Pros- pret want to take this ppportunity to welcome you among us, you and Bob are making your new home in Port Perry we hope to see both ow you real often. Of course, we realize that you will be a very busy person, for taking care of this hus- band of -yours and keeping your eye on him will be a full-time job for any woman, Pat him gently with the rolling pin sometimes and make him behave himself. "Speaking of this new home of yours, Bob and Elma} and the many happy vaers you will share it together, makes us wish that we could take some small part in making things com- plete for you, hope you will find room in your.home for this clock. "It is a token of our esteem for you, and as it ticks and chimes throughout the years it will continually speak for us and tell you that the peopleiof Prospect; old and young alike, are thinking of you and wishing for you both--prosperity, health and above all, complete happiness." Bob's answer was short and appro- priate. - He invted all to visit them in their new home. Thanked them for the friendliness they had offered and expressed a wish that this friendly feeling may be carried on through the future year. The remainder of the evening was taken up with cards and dancing to the music of Mrs. Hughes, Floyd Hughes, Jack Hope, with Ralph Som. erville calling for the square dances.
