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.

Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 9, 1991 Bli

The school was a two-room
school, with a principal and a
teacher. The principal made
$60 a month and the teacher
was paid $50.

While living in Abbotsford
he again began to get involved
with the community and served
as an alderman for six years.
He was also president of the
Chamber of Commerce and
was involved in the Rotary
Club, Also, for 20 years, Tony
Pauls served in one form or
another on the board of the
United Church, He also served
on the school board. So it is no
wonder when they decided to
move to Terrace about three
and a half years ago that Tony
got the ball rolling by planting
the seed for affordable seniors’
housing. He and his wife mov-
ed one year ago into the Twin
River Estates. They like it there
a lot.

They chose to move to Ter-
race to be closer to their fami-
ly. Daughter Shirley lives: here.
It was also the valley, the
mountains and our moderate
climate (with the exception of

this winter) that attracted them Tony and Greta Pauls:

The 87th birthday of Mae
Fysh up at Terraceview could
have been over-shadowed on
Dec. 4 because of the Lodge’s
annual bazaar andtea. But
thanks to a gorilla, she had her
special time. At lunchtime,.
Mae and all the residents were
pleasantly surprised when the
gorilla arrived carrying
balloons. Residents and staff
gathered ‘round as the happy
birthday song was played and a
red rose hidden inside the large
balloon, together with a
banana balloon, were pre-
sented.

Mae’s daughter, Wilma Cos-
