Golden Wedding KINRED— BRIDLE On November 29 two old and esteemed residents of the Tumut district, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kinred, celebrated their golden wedding. The occasion was marked by a gathering of old friends at "Sulby," the residence of the 50-years-married couple. A "wedding tea" was partaken of. The tables, beautifully decorated with golden Iceland poppies, were laden with good things, a wedding cake, finished also with touches of gold, completed the sumptuous repast. After justice had been done to the good things provided, the usual toast list was proceeded with, Rev. T. A. Gair (C. of E.) presiding. The toast of the "Bride and Groom of 50 years," was proposed by the Chairman, and supported by Messrs. E. G. Bridle and A. E. Wilkinson, Mr. Fred Kinred feelingly responding. Mr. and Mrs. Kinred were the recipients of some beautiful and valuable gifts, and many good wishes were also conveyed by numerous telegrams, letters and telephone messages. We are sure these worthy citizens also have the good wishes of the people of our town and district. They were married at All Saints', Tumut.
