The bride, formerly Lois May Reader, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reader, and the bridegroom is tke son of Mr. and Mrs, George Luke of Raglan. --Photo by Hornsby Studio Wilson Family from Scotland Plan to Settle in Oshawa By SOPHIE BROWNLEE "Wi" a hundred pipers an' a' an a' " Well, there may not be a hun- dred of them but"there are four, just come to Oshawa "fra bonnie Scotland" a fortnight ago, and they all play the bagpipes as all true Scotsmen should. Mr. and Mrs, Ro- ' bert Wilson, Sr., and three of their | sons, Allan, Arthur and Gavin with Mrs. Allan Wilson, arrived at mid- night in Oshawa from Coalburn, Lanarkshire, two weeks ago to make their home here. At present they are living with another brother and son, Mr. Robert Wilson and Mrs. Wilson and their four children, Howard, Harold, Betty and five- year-old Bonnie Jean. Twelve people mean a great many meals and dishes to wash and beds to make, but, Mrs. Robert Wilson, Jr., assured us that everyone does his or her share to help and from all appearances they seemed to be having a grand time all together, once more. There is yet another son in Whitby Mr. "Jock" Wilson and two more in Scotland, Thomas and David, as well as two sisters, Mrs. Walter Hannah (Jessie) and Mrs. Joshua Dell (Jean). To get back to the pipers, Mr. Wilson, Sr., and Gavin, Allan and Arthur all belonged to the Coalburn Rechobites. their local pipe band. Although they have been in Oshawa only two weeks, Gavin, Allan and Arthur are members already of the General Motors Pipe Band and they will all be going to Hamilton this week-end to take part in the Pipe Band trials at the Highland Games, there. Mr. Wilson, Sr., was a pipe major "back home," for many years. As they arrived at the station from New York they were piped by their brother Robert and Mr. Jack Stewart, and so the transition from Scotland to Canada was not too sudden. Mr. Wilson had applied for pas- sage six months before they receiy- ed word that there would be room for them on a ship leaving for Can- ada, and then they had only three days notice, Of course there was a great deal of last minute packing and séurrying around. "We didn't sleep very much dur- ing those three days," said Allan, "but fortunately father had sold the house just after he applied for passage." They had a good crossing, but due to the fact that they had to be vaccinated just prior to sail- ing, none of them felt too spry. There seemed to be too much food | about, not only aboard ship but here as well. This of course seemed more apparent compared with the meagre rations they had in Scot- land. Coalburn is a mining town, and all worked in the mines except Ar- thur, who was a dairyman. Allan was an electrical engineer, and Ga- vin a transport worker. Mr. Wilson, Sr., worked as a stone miner, one who sinks shafts and looks for coal deposits. They came to Can- ada because they wanted to get out of the mines, where they have all worked all their lives, and get other jobs here. Mr. Wilson, Sr., would like to get work that isn't too heavy, a caretaker' job, for instance. The boys aren't too particular, just as long as the work doesn't remind them too much of the mines at home. Mrs. Wilson, Sr. said that she was glad to see the last of the dirt, which is part of every coalmining town whether here or in Scotland. The coal dust, too, isn't healthy, and it was good to hreathe the good clean. air of the Atlantic and of Canada, they said. Mrs. Allan Wilson said that in Scotland she worked as a clerkess, which immediately made us think of a person who served behind the counter in a drygoods store. But she explained that in her country it meant one who did bookkeeping and sténography. She, too, is an- xious to obtain work in Oshawa, in her profession. Gavin and Arthur, who are both a bit shy, and who haven't had much chance to meet nice Canad- ian girls, think that the ones they have seen on the street, are "cheeky" and perhaps not as pretty as las- gies at home. Both Mrs, Wilsons like the Can- adian styles but think that the ma- terials and workmanship aren't as good as at home. Mr. Wilson expres- sed the opinion that the cost of living is about the same in Canada as in Scotland. Kenneth Bent Weds Hazel A. Hamilton Hazel Annabelle Hamilton, of Oshawa, daughter of Mrs, Walter Hamilton of Brougham and the late Mr. Hamilton, became the bride of Kenneth Percy Bent, son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Bent, all of Oshawa, last Saturday afternoon.

Feature Silk Lames In French Display Montreal. -- (CP) -- Rich dam- ask fabrics and silk lames with more than 20 per cent silver and gold threads running thrugh the materials were displayed here re- cently when a 150-year-old French firm held its first North American press showing since before the war. Hundreds of samples, including more than a dozen dress lengths, of plain and woven patterned fabrics, moires, taffetas and faille were shown. Some of the cloths were hand-woven, and ay skilled weaver can produce about one yard a day. Fabrics of this type retail up to $18 a yard. Most of the range, how- ever was substantially lower. Many of the secret weaving pro- cesses used in Lyons famous centre of fine textiles, have remalned unchanged for 400 years since King Francis I granted special privileges to a small group of weavers. The collection shown in Montreal includes satins for bridal gowns with floral designs woven in self and metallic threads. There were fine tissues especially adaptable for negligee and others for fur coat linings. A good rubbing with camphor- ated oil will remove a white "bloom" on dark woodwork which is caused by steam.
