Is established
But the happy couple agreed on
one salient point-young married
people today-attracted by parties,
theaters and night clubs, do not
spend enough time in their abode
to make a real home.
Mrs. Robinson admitted however
that at no time was their marital
happiness jeopardized by unem-
ployment until two weeks ago. Mr..
Robinson, q toolmaker at Scovill's
for the past "a years, is currently
out of work because Of the strike.
At the time Of their marriage, six
years before the turn OF the century
Mr.. Robinson brought home to his
bride a lucrative salary amounting
to $l2 a week, for a full six-day work
week.
And the young couple always had
few dollars left over on the day
before payday. A loaf of bread could
be obtained for a shiny nickel, but

made a lovely bride, Mr.. Robinson
declared.
Mrs. Robinson said she wore a
white landsdown bridal dress with
high leg-o-mutton sleeves. nigh
lace collar, and q voluminons skirt
measuring eight yards around the
hem. The couples attendants, Miss
Elizabeth Warner and Arthur Blew
lit, will attend the golden anniver-
sary celebration. Miss Warner wore
q light blue gown modelled like the
brides.
They were married by the late
Rev. DR.. John G.. Davenport. pastor
Of the Second Congregations
Church, at the home of Mrs. Robin
sons mother, Mrs. Morris Alcott,
distance relative OF the famous
writer, Mary Louise Alcott.
Over 100 guests attended the we'd
ding celebration, but q severe snow
storm delayed the couples wedding
trip for weeks. Guests from Win
sted, who drove a team Of horse
for II hours to be in attendance
did not return home for week be-
cause of high snow drifts.

One of the most tragic situa-
tions in life is TO be alone, unloved
and uncared for in old age" he said.
1t was apparent that both Mr..
and Mrs. Robinson were proud OF
their progeny which includes two
sons, two daughters, three grand
children, and two great grand
children.
But the couple also entertain UNI
shakable convictions about proper
child raising. Declaring that rear
ing family was "the biggest
achievement in a married couples
life" Mr.. Robinson related he had
never used the whipping rod but
once, and then 1t hurt him more
than 1t did his naughty offspring.
Being q companion to children Is
the No. rule Of an effective child
raising program. Mr.. Robinson said
asserting. he almost suffered fatal
catastrophe once while skating
with his youngest child.
Apparently keeping abreast with
the times. the couple was also will
ing to analyze the reasons for
Americas alarming divorce stats
tics.
Mrs. Robinson was Of the opinion
that young people today marry aft
er too short a courtship. She and
her husband were schoolmates II,
the old Mill Plain school, which i
now the home Of Ernest Raymond
on Woodtick road.
The man Of the house, however
offered q different reason for thu
broken home, asserting that {

Marriage-hke life-is punctuated
with ups and downs, but Astounding
In far more joys than tribulations,
corcurred a grey-haired, smiling
couple who viii mark 50 years Of
connubial bliss on Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest P. Robinson,
Woodbine street, well-known resi-
dents of the East End for more than

The happy pair-enjoying the full
blessings Of good health and an
alert mind were both o: the opinion
that people are far happier mar
ried than single.
Mr.. Robinson, slightly stronger in
convictions than his wife, pointed
out the full blessings Of the marital
state are realized in ole age when a
couple find themselves surrounded
BY devoted children and their grand
children.
