Personal Shopping Only We Reserve the Right to Limit Quantities MR. AND MRS. GORDON MILLER married 50 years TABLERITE BEEF ROUND BONE OR CHUCK STEAKS Canada Choice, Canada Good LB Tzeachten Hall was attractively decorated with early summer flowers and greenery when the family of Mr.

and Mrs. Gordon Miller honored them on June 25 with a buffet supper and reception to mark the couple's 50th wedding anniversary. Assisting the family was their uncle, Alfred Pihl, New Westminster, Mrs. Miller's brother-in-law. Pink roses and white Esther Reed daisies were on each table with a white trellis, covered with red roses, forming a setting for the three-tier anniversary cake made by Mrs.

Lome Keith. A centrepiece of golden colored flowers and the corsages for Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Anson' Miller and boutonnieres for their husbands were a gift from Mrs. Anne Butterfield, Vancouver.

Rev. and Mrs. Anson Miller came from Thunder Bay, Ontario, to attend the celebrations. Rev. Mr.

Miller had proposed the bridal toast at the wedding 50 years ago and again proposed a toast to Mrs. Miller at the reception at the anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were married on June 29, 1922, in a navon, Saskatchewan, Mrs.

Miller's birthday. She is the former Maud Mallory and taught school in Frontier, Saskatchewan. The couple farmed for 12 years south of Bracken, Saskatchewan, and then moved in 1934 to Sardis where they bought 20 acres. They have one daughter, Mrs. Ernest (Jean) Faessler, Surrey; two sons, Lome, Sardis; Keith, Surrey, and seven grandchildren.

Keith was master of ceremonies and Lome responded to a toast on behalf of his father. Mrs. Faessler described the meaning of a little garden scene she had prepared which depicted the lives of her parents. Presiding at the pourer's table were Mrs. Alfred Hos-kins, Mrs.

Henry Maurice, Mrs. Solon Crowell, Bracken, and Mrs. Delbert Elliott. A poem composed by A. B.

Marcon was read by Keith Miller. Mrs. Miller is a member of Ruth Rebekah Lodge No. 4, Mizpah Unit of Carman United Church Women and Ved-der Crossing Women's Institute. Mayor William Van der Zalm of Surrey sent a dozen pots of palms to be used in the hall decorations; Henry Maurice made the trellis and small wishing well where the guest book was placed and Mrs.

Henry Maurice and Mrs. Harry Stenhouse of Edmonton arranged the flowers. Among the 147 guests who renewed friendships begun, in many cases, many years ago were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stenhouse, Edmonton; Mr.

and Mrs. Donald Hagen, Frontier; Mrs. Solon Crowell, Bracken; Mr. and Mrs. Roland Peachy, Lethbridge; Mr.

and Mrs. Clyde Feero, White-court, Alberta; Mr. and Mrs. Harlowe Robinson, Post Falls, Idaho; Mr. and Mrs.

BONELESS LEAN SHOULDER CUT Barbecue Steak ib.98 Ground Beef TABLERITE Bologna lb. 49 It is about time that ycu learned about the wild life and natural growth in St.

Albert. Both of these things grow in abundance in my back yard, and because I look at them each day and every day, I thought it would be nice to share. They say you feel better if you talk about it. It is difficult to differentiate between the wild life and the natural growths because so much of the stuff falls into both categories (like the Phantom, for instance) but I shall try. Our trees must be the most unusual in town.

After we learned to plant carrots, we found a great deal of unused earth around the plot. In true Phantom tradition, Mike strongly felt that this was a waste, and must be stopped. So we now have, each individually and plainly labelled, a plum pit tree, an olive-pit tree, a peanut tree, a canned beet tree, a caterpillar tree, a doggy-mistake tree germs for the worms, a dime tree boy! It will grow a curried shrimp tree did you get the pink a bubble gum tree and an arrowroot custard bush (courtesy of Underdog, who dug up the original squash surprise tree, and was made to realize the importance of a replacement). These varieties are diligently watered each morning by the Phantom, phyllum Maximus Curious; by the twins, sub-phylum Doublous Troublous; by Underdog, genus Bilious Ludicrous; and by the neighbor's puppy. Growth of our little trees is watched closely by the Mad Gardener, our neighbor somewhere up the street.

He is the sort who spends 36 hours and $94 clearing the township backway behipd the fence, planting it with cedar shrubs and Kentucky blue grass and azalea bushes and pumpkin plants. He is always on the lookout for new and rare varieties of anything except children. He is being driven mad by the number cf little white markers in our yard. He peers intently through his reading glasses at 80 paces trying to figure out what wondrous species "those people next door" have to outshine his magnificent efforts, and sends his daughters over to babysit while it is still light outside. The future of our unusual gardens is imperilled by the presence of Underdog, who has decided that if his cousin can have teeth, so can he.

He is putting through six of them at once, and feels an impassioned urge to bite everything within a radius of four miles. This includes the cats, the dogs, the neighbors and his immediate and loving family. Also the marker sticks, the flowers and the dirt. While Chris madly churns up the earth finding things to eat, Mike scuttles along behind patting the earth back into its original position, putting back his beloved markers. We are not sure how we did it; in fact, we are beginning to be dubious about the effect his grandfather has on Michael; but remains that Mathematician and I have somehow produced either a dipsomaniac Irish gardener or a parsimonious Scottish farmer.

What on earth will Canada do with one of those for a prime minister?
