PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 'MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1948 Col. and Mrs. R.S. McLaughlin Married 50 Years Ago Today By JO ALDWINKLE An avalanche of songratilasions by telegram, telephone, cable an rll has descended at Cedar Lodge, Bermuda, where Col. and Mrs. R. 8, McLaughlin are observ- ing their golden wedding anniver- sary today. Although pressed to stay at home in Oshawa for this notable anniversary, they decided after the first heavy snow storm of the year, that they should seek the balmy air and warm sunshine of their home in Paget, Bermuda. Married at her parents' home in Kinsale, the former Adelaide Louise Mowbray, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ralph R. Mowbray, start- ed her married life in what is now Llewellyn Hall, King Street East. Before her marriage Mrs. Mc- Laughlin had been a school teach- er at nearby Tyrone, and in bring- ing up her five daughters she saw the unlimited possibilities of the Home and School Association to which she gave untiring service and leadership. At a conference held in Sackville, N.B., last fall of the Canadian Federation of Home and School Associations of which she is honorary president and life member, she received from Mount Allison University the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Vision Becomes Reality From early days Mrs, McLaugh- Hn had a vision of a large and ef- ficient hospital that could serve the needs of a growing industrial town and the surrounding district, and her singleness of purpose was an inspiration to the women with whom she worked to that end. From the opening of the original unit in the summer of 1910 to the present impressive building her unfailing help and guiding hand have supplied the impetus, Her vision has become a reality. She is associated with over twenty women's organizations, and gives freely of her time in attend- ing meetings. When at home she loves to read, delving into biogra- phy, travel and fiction with equal enjoyment. Knitting and crochet work are also favorite pastimes at which she excels. One particular- ly attractive piece of handwork is a large knitted afghan in brown, beige and rust tones into which she has worked her initials and the date, Though tolerant and under- standing in all things, Mrs. Mec- Laughlin has one aversion. She does not smoke, and she does not approve of women's smoking. Educated in Oshawa Col. R. S. McLaughlin was born at Enniskillen, Sept, 8, 1871, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Laughlin. He attended public and high school in Oshawa and enter- ed his father's carriage factory in 1887, becoming a partner in 1893. In those days he was an intrepid cyclist and cut a fine figure around town on his "Penny- Farthing" until he experimented by riding with the smaller wheel in front of the larger, when his father decided the whole thing was dangerous. About this time he was driving a smart Kensington buggy out to Kinsale quite regular- ye Enjoys Hunting, Fishing He has always been fond of out- door life and sport, particularly fishing and horseback riding. With the countryman's love of horses it was an easy step to acquire racing thoroughbreds, the beginning of the now famous "Parkwood Sta- ble", which has produced three King's Plate winners, Horometer, Kingarvie and Moldy. For many years president of the Ceneral Motors of Canada, T.imited, "and now chairman of the board, Col sacsaugtilii Lies lo keep ..us tine ger on the pulse of industry, and when in town goes to his office every day at about 9 am. and works till 5 p.m. vaking a brief hour for his lunch. For relaxation in the evening he is fond of read- ing, and although he will pick up a travel book or biography at times, he is always interested in books on national economy. Noth- ing gives him greater pleasure, however, than to spend an hour or two reminiscing with an old asso- clate of his carriage factory days and bringing to light faded photo- graphs, recalling many memories and familiar faces. The Colonel is a life-member of Cedar Lodge, AF. and AM. and three years ago he received a fif- ty-year jewel. Later in the same year he was appointed Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge of Canada and invested with the regalia. of his office. He is also a member of other Masonic orders, Attached to Their Home Botlhh Colonel and Mrs, Me- Laughlin have travelled widely in this country and in Europe, but they are never happier than when they are at home in Oshawa. They are both fond of flowers and take pride in the produce of their hot- houses and greenhouses. Ome of the most anticipated events of the season is the chrysanthemum tea when they are at home to hun- dreds of guests who are privileged to view the magnificent prize blooms. They are lovers of music and the theatre and go to perfor- mances in Toronto regularly. They are members of the United Church of Canada and attend services at St. Andrew's here. They have five daughters who are well remembered by Oshawa peorle, They are Miss Isabel Mc- Laughlin, who lives in Toronto; Mrs, Churchill Mann (Eleanor) of Ottawa; Mrs, Vancouver; Mrs. J. B. Pangman (Hilda) of Montreal; and Mrs. E. 8. Turner (Mildred) of Miami, Florida. If making others happy is the secret of true happiness then 'Col. and Mrs. McLaughlin must know that inward grace. Their public benefactions have included the Band #Shell, Adelaide House (the YW.CA), Camp Samac, the Girl Guide House and McLaughlin Hall (the nurses' residence) but many bless them for their little, nameless acts of kindness and of love, On this day of golden memory the people of Oshawa are grateful for their golden hearts and wish the host and hostess of Parkwood an autumn of health and ' content- ment.

When what look like rust stains appear on your freshly laundered clothes, it may be that you have not rinsed the garments sufficiently. If there is any soap left in clothes, it often turnes rust-brown under the heat of the iron. To remove such stains, wash the clothes again in soap and water, and do a thorough job of rinsing this time. Sun-bleach- ing is helpful to remove these stains.
