A double wedding of interest throughout the vicinity was solem- nized on Wednesday, Aug. 30th,, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. John son, Markham, when their daughter Lorna Elizabeth was married to Mr. Kenneth Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.‘ Walker of South Unionville, at the same time Minnie Elizabeth Irâ€" win, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Irwin of Agincourt, became the bride of Lorne J. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnson. Rev. H. Gon- die of Markham officiated, assisted by Rev. A. T. Gooding and Rev. F. J. Jones. Lorna Johnson and Lorne Johnson being twin brother and sis- ter making the event an unique 0c- casion. ’The brides were dressed alike in gowns of ivory satin fashion- ed on princess lines with White hats and matching accessories and carried arm bouquets of butterfly roses and‘ baby’s breath. Miss Kathleen Wa1-‘ ker attended the brides as maid of ‘ honor wearing a pretty gown of pale‘ green triple crepe with matching hat,‘ shoes and gloves and carrying a bou-j quet of butterfly roses and baby‘s‘ breath. An arch of cedars, artisâ€"; tically decorated with gladioli, asters and baby’s breath, formed a pretty" background for the wedding which‘ took ploce on the lawn. The wed- The exhibition game of Box La- crosse played at Crosby Memorial Rink on Friday evening last between the locals and Scarboro Grads reâ€" sulted in a win for the visitors, score 12-6. This delightful summer weaâ€" ther is not conductive for large at- tendance at such events. However, when the real battle starts the boys expect every fan to be on hand. At- tractive lucky ticket prizes are of- fered each evening with the grand prizes at the final game. Approximately 100 people assemâ€" bled at Bethesda Lutheran Cemetery on Sunday afternoon co participate in a Memorial Service for those buried there. A revival of a former service that was held annually, but for varâ€" ious reasons had been discontinued for a few years. It was an ideal September afternoon, the pleasing view of the several well tilled farms from the top of the hill where the cemetery is situated and the appro- priate impressive service in charge of the pastor, Rev. E. Huenergard, including the pleasing solo of Mrs. Huenergard, the assembling of many former members along with the pres- ent congregation and friends, made the event indeed a memorable one. The first meeting house of the early days was built on thse grounds, fol- lowed by a brick edifice built in 1862. During 1910, under the pastorate of Rev. J. Mauer, the church was raised and reconstructed on the present lo- cation in the Village, a pipe organ was installed, the gift of A. J. H.l Eckhardt of Toronto along with two memorial windows by the same gen- erous doner. The church was reâ€" decorated a short time ago and new seats installed and under the efficâ€" ient leadership of the present pastor, Rev. E. Huenergard, a successful fu- ture is predicted for Bethesda Luth- eran Congregation. Some of those in attendance from outside points were, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Eckhardt, Mr. and Mrs. N. Eckhardt, Ross Fen- W‘ick, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Eckhardt, Chas. Pringle,'Mrs. R. J. Mitchell of Toronto, Rev. George and Mrs. Lock- hart, Calgary. Labor Day bid fair to be rather unusual for our citizens. when the decision to hold the C.C.F. Picnic was announced to be held at Crosby Memorial Park on that day. How- ever, whether the various attractions elsewhere were responsible or not, the attendance was far beneath an- t'icifiationl. The Weather was ideal and the setting perfect. for such an occasion. The afternoon program inâ€" cluded an address by Capt. E. Phil- potts of Toronto, who eloquently proved himself a conscientious ad- vocate of the C.C.F. which organiza-‘ tion in his opinion will be a sure cure} for all economic ills. In the evening R. J. Scott, President of file U.F.O. and Mrs. Morton of Toronto Were the speakers. The sports program was limited to a softball competition, three games were played by the Lea- side and Owego Girls’ teams, the Owegos winning the silver cup. Fol- lowing the evening program dancing on the green concluded this event. Refreshment booths and amusement attractions were located throughout the grounds, these being under the supervision of the C.C.F. organizaâ€" tion so that no material benefit was realized locally. Would it not be more to the point if on occasions of this kind some of our own local peo- ple would be allowed at least a share in. this part of the program? UNIONVILLE Golden rod is blooming at this time of year, Waving in the sunshine, for September’s here; Purple asters nodding in the summer sun, Welcome glad September, School days have begun.
