The number registered was an even total of 200. The adults were very busy, hap- pily chatting, and studying the family chart, supplied by Miss Effa Wright, but the younger set occasionally stole the show, quite unconscious of the admiration they attracted. At 3 p.m., President E. A. Werry called the company to order with a hearty welcome to all. Minutes of the 1952 Picnic, and of the June Executive meeting were read by Secretary Mrs. Mrs. George Wer- ry, and approved. SEVERAL SPEAKERS Brief speeches were made by: Rev.

A werry, Enniskil- len (54 years last May). OFFICERS ELECTED The report of the' nominating G | committee (Ralph Larmer, Mrs. | Harold Werry, Bert Luke, Mrs. C. Marlow, W. G. Werry), was pre- sented by Ralph, who moved its adoption: President, Clarence F. Werry, Oshawa, RR 2; Vice - President, Dr. John Werry, Bow- manville;: Treasurer, Mrs. Lloyd Ashton, Bowmanville, RR 6; Sec- retary, Mrs. S. Geo. Werry, 14 Cadillac Ave. N., Oshawa; Corre- sponding Secretary, Miss Nora Werry, Oshawa, RR 1; Committee of Management, Mr. and Mrs. John Borrowdale, Oshawd; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Swain; Blackstock; Mr. and Mrs. Meredith Moffat, Mr. and Mrs. P. Tresise, Oshawa; Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mountjoy, Oshawa, RR 2. A. L. Pascoe moved a vote of thanks to the ladies of Hampton Women's Institute for their gener- ous and courteous attentions during the day. The incoming president, Clarence F. Werry, was introduc- ed and accepted the honors, and responsibilities, in a neat speech. A motion was carried to meet in the same place on the third Sat- urday, July 17, 1954. Farewells were made, lingering- ly, and a very grateful people wended their various ways home. The day had passed pleasantly, and without mishap; clouds had obscured the heat of the sun and yet held back the rain, except for two or three sprinkles, until the last cars were leaving. Thus the temperature for the day had been comfortable. Of the nine brothers and sisters who came to Canada from Corn- wall, Eng., between 1833 and 1846, four were represented at this gathering: Ann, the eldest sister, who marred John Hockin; William, the fourth member, who married Elizabeth Honey; Peter, fifth mem- ber, who married Eliza Stephens; and Elizabeth, seventh member, who married William Philp. A let- ter from Montregl was from the randdaughter Sarah Werry logg, youngest member of the family. Rebecca married Jonathan Elford, and they had no family, Joseph moved West and has been lost track of. Marie married Rich- ard Philp, and in the death of the late 'Mrs. Walter Jenkins, nee Ad- die Philp, passed the last of the second generation of that family. It is hoped members of the young- er generations, who live at some distance, may attend at some fu- ture dates. Thus, through the family picnics, interest in the connection has been sustained throughout the 80 years, and we trust will be maintained with mutual pleasure and benefit for many years to come.

Rickard fav- ored with a solo, "I Know I shall Not Pass This Way Again', on entertained for dinner, Sunday, by | Atom Experts By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (AP)--The U.S. atomic energy commission has proved it can change the color of diamonds--but it isn't changing colors any more. After bombarding 200 diamonds with radiation and thereby chang- ing their color, the AEC has stopped, temporarily at least. A fellow at the AEC said Thurs- day the commission wants to size things up and determine a policy before tampering with diamonds. No, he said, he knew nothing of a report that the AEC had quit lest it throw the whole diamond in- dustry in a tizzy. But Dr. George Switzer, a gem expert for the Smithsonian Insti- tution, said: "The situation already has the Jewelry trade in a stew." 5S Diamonds By Radiation Recolor Apparently it only has been re- cently that diamonds have been changed in wholesale lots. The AEC has taken white or yellowish stones and.turned them brown, for instance. : Switzer says if diamonds of a fairly common color could be changed to a rare color the values obviously could be increased, and this is what has upset the jewelry trade. Benjamin Blanken, who has been in the jewelry business here for 30 years, says he wouldn't want to speculate on what the ' atom busters might do to the diamond trade. But in his view the perfect diamond is' colorless, and so far as he knows no one has figured out a way to make a colored dia- mond perfectly clear. "Actually," he says, "a color is a flaw."
