ce a It was exactly 60 years ago — on Christmas Day 1990, when Tony and Greta Pauls said ‘‘I ‘do’’ in front of the minister, his wife and their witness, the minister’s son. They were married in the United Church Manse in Swift Current, Sask, Their honey- moon was a trip by train to Regina. When word leaked out that they had just married, many of their friends came to see them off and shower them with rice at the train station. Tony Pauls remembers well what he paid the preacher for performing the ceremony: the sum total of three dollars, which for him at that time was a whole day’s wages. Tony Pauls was born in the U.S.A., but raised on a home- stead in Alberta, just southeast of Edmonton. His brother and sister owned three hardware stores, and they convinced him to leave the farm and manage one of the stores in Neidpath, Sask. This is where he met his future wife Greta. During those days, stores were open seven days a week and the only day of the year the store was closed was Christ- mas Day. What better day to get married than on your day off? And so, on December 25, 1930, Tony and Greta became husband and wife. After a short honeymoon, they settled down in Neidpath. They had three children, all born in Swift Current, Sask. since it was the closest hospital to Neidpath. When the Second World War started, the Pauls family moved to Edmonton, where Tony was employed re- building planes for the pilots who would fly them during the war over in Europe. - After the war the family | once again packed their bags and moved to Abbotsford, B.C. The Pauls lived there for the next 43 years. Tony Pauls proceeded to make his living again in hardware, this time his own hardware store. All through their lives, the Pauls have been very com- munity-minded people. Back in Neidpath, Tony served as chairman of the school board. 101 - 3220 Eby Street, Terrace, B.C.
