COUPLE HONORED ON 50TH ANNIVERSARY The celebration of Tommy and Eunice Bolan's 50th Wedding Anniversary began with a special Mass in Holy Angels Roman Catholic Church when they repeated their wedding vows and exchanged new engraved wedding rings, the gifts of their family, which were blessed by Father Halpin, form- er parish priest in Schreiber, who came from Ottawa for the happy occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Bolan, (the former Eunice Ronald), were married in St. Andrew's Church in Port Arthur, by Father LaRue, and by sheer chance, Helen Frankish, now Mrs. W.T. Wallace of Schreiber, attended their wedding. The Mass was celebrated on July 20th, the actual anniversary date, but the dinner and reception in their honor took place on July 24th in the United Church Hall. Reeve F.V. Harness was M.C , for the dinner and Grace was said by Father Halpin, who later paid tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Bolan saying today special tribute is being paid to them, earned and deserved by their years of unselfish devotion to their family, the helping hand to a neighbour or friends and the desire to work for others in their community across t he lines of creed and politics. Reeve Harness, in his tribute, said Tommy's skill as a carpenter has often been used in the community In particular, the present curling rink stands as a monument to Tommy's perseverance.
