Review Place Your Classified Action Ads 445-2008 Wedding Announcement Amid the fury of a mid-winter storm and the contrasting tran- quility of candle-light, roses and organ music, Donna Cathryn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Cleroux and Marcel Raymond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Antoine Chaloux all of Russell, Ontario, solemnized marriage vows Fri- day evening, January 28, 1977. Joy and warmth was expressed in a setting of crimson and white as Rev. Walter Gawa performed the double-ring ceremony at the Kenmore Baptist Church. Mrs. Jack Twiname was organist for the occasion and Greg Cleroux, as flute soloist, offered a rendit- ion of '"'Wedding Song"' during the service. A sacred highlight in the service occured during the Cere- mony of the Candles when two glowing red candles, symbolizing the lives of Donna and Marcel, were used to light a centre candle of white, thus representing their union in Christ and each other. The red candles were then extinguished. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was radiant in a classic creation of white peau de soie with chantilly lace trimming the sheer hooded cape which extended into a slight train. She carried a traditional sheaf of red roses on her arm. Sisters of the bride, Paula Jayne Cleroux as maid of honour, and Sarah Jill Cleroux as flower girl, were attired similarly in scarlet peau de soie and carried baskets of red and white carn- ations, mums and baby's breath. Attending the groom was Henry Nyentap of Russell, as best man. Ushers were Real Chaloux, brother of the groom and Greg Cleroux, brother of the bride. For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Cleroux chose a gown of slate blue and a corsage of red roses. Mrs. Chaloux selected a black and white gown with a corsage of deep shell pink roses. The bride, for travelling, wore a three-piece screen print en- semble in muted shades of soft green, apricot and gold with an archid corsage. Mr. and Mrs. Chaloux will be residing at 1971 St. Laurent Boulevard, in Ott- awa. Guests were welcomed from Bangor, Maine, Guelph, Ottawa, Arnprior, Petawawa, Carleton Place and Winchester, Ontario.

The Dugdale Family The World Is Mine Today, upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden hair. I envied her: she seemed so gay, and I wished I were as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg, and wore a crutch, and as she passed -- a smile. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two legs, the World is Mine. And then I stopped to buy some sweets. The lad who sold them had such a charm. I talked with him -- he seemed so glad -- If I were late, 'twould do no harm. And as I left, he said to me: "I thank you. You have been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind." Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes, the World is Mine. Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play. It seemed he knew not what to do. I stopped a moment, and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"' He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew -- he could not hear. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears, the World is Mine. With legs to take me where I'd go -- With eyes to see the sunset's glow -- With ears to hear what I would know -- The World is Yours! What will you do with it? Russell Bogie Benders The Russell Bogie Benders had their annual Snowmobile Rally on Saturday, January 22, 1977, and what a success it was. There were 106 snowmobiles registered and all but five finished the 33 mile course. The winning time was 3 hours and 13 minutes and the trophy winner was Bill McVey from Metcalfe, finishing in the exact time. Congratulat- ions Bill! The Rally was followed by a bean and turkey supper perpared by members of the Club and later in the evening, dancing to the music of the Clyne Brothers. Just before the dance trophies were awarded for the various events in the Rally. Many thanks to all who donated trophies and prizes. The Russell Bogie Benders would like to thank everyone who participated in and helped with the Rally, the supper and the dance afterwards. By all ac- counts, it was a very successful rally and we are looking forward to next year's events. Just a note in closing . . . The club is still open for membership and we are hopeful that weekly runs can be planned. Anyone interested in joining the Russell Bogie Benders is asked to call Bruce Woolsey at 445-2897. Readers' Views... "Seek and ye shall find" During the debates and meet- ings that took place prior to the construction of the new Russell Arena and Recreation Centre, statements were made to the effect that a new enterprise of this magnitude would encourage 'New Faces' and 'Enhance' our town. Quite true. Since our new Recreation Centre opened its doors we have witnessed a success story. It has proven to be a hub of activity. Every day it seems, something is happening. Cars fill the parking lot to the point of overflowing. WONDER- FUL, our governing and admin- istrative body of that day was one hundred percent correct. We now have a Recreation Centre that serves us year round and draws people from great distances. NOW! How do people arriving from the nothern portions of our area, if they travel via the 417, find our fair Village? If one leaves Ottawa and travels on the 417, and many do, on their way to Russell they will find a very large sign which says 'Boundary Road-Russell, mile. A short distance beyond this you find another large sign, Bound- ary Road -- Russell -- Exit. At the end of the exit is a stop sign, and if, when stopped, you look straight ahead you will see an arrow sign which reads, Russell 9. But, buddy once you've turned that corner you're on your own, cause unless you're a chinese fortune teller you ain't going to find Russell, and if you do it's just plain luck. Somebody in this flaming county just don't want us on the map. On second thought, though, maybe it would be to darn embarrassing to ask our elected to properly sign our North Road. After all, I still call it "The ribbon to Hell' and now it's all buried in snow and drifts.
