Seventy Years Wed.

Air. and Airs. Thomas Jones, uivurhydd Farm, Llanwrst, recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of their marriage (states an overseas writer). They are 95 and 90 respectively. Mr. Jones still works on the farm, and Mrs. Jones visited Llandudno for Christmas shopping. Both enjoy perfect health, have nine children alive out of 11, 33 grandchildren —three sons and five grandsons in the ministry. They received congratulations from the King and Queen.

Wonderful Service. ■When, a short while ago, a nurse in one of the big Paris hospitals wa presented with the Cross of the Legion of Honour there were grouped round her over 30 people whose lives she had saved (says a London writer). Madame Georgette Colin has probably saved many more by her skilled nursing, but these she had saved by allowing the transfusion of her blood. She is 52 years old; she has served .in hospitals for nearly a quarter of a century; she has given her -life-blood 36 times, mostly to patients so poor that they could only give her a "Thank you” in exchange. Yet Madame Colin probably thought she had done little to deserve the honour of having this cross pinned on her white blouse.
