CELEBRATE 25TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Mac Donald, Roxborough avenue, were honored at a_ surprise party on Saturday night to celebrate their silver wed- ding anniversary. Arranged by their only daughter, Miss Barbara MacDonald, the gathering was held at the home of Mrs. MacDonald's sister, Miss' Helen Wiggins, Prince street, and attended by over thirty friends and relatives who presented the pair with a set of china and a chrome canister set. Mar- ried in St. George's Memo- rial Church, Mrs. MacDonald is the former Miss Mar- guerite Wiggins of Oshawa. Mr. MacDonald was born in Scotland and has lived in Oshawa since boyhood.

CLEVELAN? MYERS, Ever so many letters come to me about the child whose teacher reports him as being in- attentive at school. It seems that the teacher usually implies that the parent should exhort or punish this child to make him more attentive at school. Some- times, indeed, the teacher def- initely advises such parental action, In the first place, the teacher should know how futile, even harmful, such advice- may be. UNFORTUNATE INCLINATION Unfortunate the average par- ent, even without prompting from the teacher, is inclined to order the child at home to be attentive at school and to scold or punish this child at home for any reported lack of concentra- tion at school, No one, not even the teacher, can cause a child to pay strict attention and concentrate by \telling him to do so.

(CP)--A spill from a_horse- drawn carriage and a small mishap involving a skunk are the only accidents marring Mrs. Lola V. Paterson's long driving career. She is 86 now, and still behind the wheel, in the horse and buggy days. A horse bolted and she was flung from the carriage. In 1914 when she started to drive she ran over a skunk. "I never killed anything but a skunk in my life and I was sorry for that for a long time." Recently she took a test to After 50 years of safe driving with never a ticket, Mrs. Pat- erson was named Delta Munic- ipality's Good Citizen of 1961-- for 60 years of community services and good neighborli- ness, She was given an award by the Chamber of Commerce.
