CARTERS ENJOY GOLDEN WEDDING (Continued rrom Page One) span of 60 years together. Tho Carter family celebrated the goldeh wedding throughout the flay but they did it without pomp, in a simple qUIet way that somehow seemed to harmonl&o with the ocean. slon. Not all of 'tho six children could bo at tho house which has been homo to them tat 20 years but thoy tent greetings Instead. And during the entire day friends of tho Carters, who havo been In tho draride Rondo volley since they camo here by team some 84 years ago, called to con gratulate them and to' Wish them all happiness. " ,;We didn't want to have another wedding ceremony. Wo thought It would be nicer to have a quiet day together, with as many of our child ren here as can come,'' said Mrs. Carter this morning as she chuttetj for awhile In their pleasant homo, located in a nelghbdrhod that skirts tho more thickly populated part of tho city, and Is Just now bright with summer flowers and lazy summer sunshine. ; ' ' 1 ' 'J ' With' Mr. and Mrs. Carter today wore their daughter, Mrs. Grant Swalburg (sally Carter) and her children, Betty and Bobby, and a son Jim Carter, who lives In tho Orande Ronde volley. Whether any of tho four other sons and daughters could be with their parents as they reached tho half century mark in their married life was not certain at noon today. All of the four ore In Oregon and It was hoped that some of them would arrive before the day was over. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were married Aug. a, 1862, In Washington county, Arkansas, in the Cone Hill region where 'they made ' their " home for nearly 20 years. Their Wedding then was a quiet one, Mrs. Carter recalled this morning. " Sho was Mory Yates before ' her marriage and 'she was born In Arkansas. Mr. Carter came to Arkansas ns a young man from Tennessee." his boyhood- home, aim but two of their ' dhlldreri were born In Arkansas. ! Mr! Carter had been west twice before, tho family finally decldod to beconio Orogonlans. Once ho had como with his family by ox team, along With a party that In cluded tho late Solly and John Montgomery, Mr. Carter's slater and brothor-ln-law, who were long time residents of La Grande. A second time, young Lamar Carter brought his wire and family west by train for a visit. And a third time thoy come, this tlmo to make their homo. They brought their family goods and IhO four children In a wagon. The trip was a long ono, ovor roods that mny have hod more romance but certainly had less comfort than the smooth stretches of highway today. That trip lasted from April until November. Tholr son, Jim; was then a baby. Once In Oregon tho Carter family lived In soveral' parts of tho county. For several years they hod a home four miles above Hilgard at tho old Bwopahlro mill. Hero their boh, Har- vey, was uorn. lawt uiey uvcu in Perry where Mrs. Swalburg wos horn. Ono year they made, tholr vhomo In Eugene, but they soon returned to tho Grande Rondo volley, and estab lished themselves In tho present Carter home. This was at tho time the Palmer mill was being construc ted and they watched tha.t section of La Orando in its development. The children, in addition to Mrs. Swalburg and Jim, are Horvoy. who lives In La Orando but Is now ot Wallowa Lake where he Is director of tho annual boys' camp: Mrs. Rene Lenoir (Mary) who lives In Port land; John, whnso homo Is Bend; and Clirrord, who Is on a rarm 50 miles bolow Salem at Lyons.

' It has been In tho Carter tanilly since the new church was built. The Carters have been long-time, actlvo ond re spected members In the Methodist Episcopal qhttrch here. Another possession that Is or much interest Is a quilt, nuulo more than 60 years ago by Mrs. Carter's mother, as a present for tho young bride.

U. S. Trade With England, Canada Stumbling Block lly Frank I. Weller (Associated Press ' Staff Wrltor) , OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 2 W) The stupendous portion of the trade of Oreat Britain and Canada which IS with the United States proved the greatest stumbling block today to all negotiations for lntra-emplre trade deals at the conference here. With all Its dominions and col onies, tho British Empire handled only about 28 V4 per .cent of the world's trade In 1030 while tho United States alone handled 12'a per ceht, almost half as much. In tho United States was sold, in 1830, moro than one-third of all tho linen manufactures exported by the United Kingdom; 43.2 per cent of all tin) tin, and nearly 19 per cent or all British exports of leather and leather goods, other than wearing apparel. On the other side of the ledger, the United Kingdom took one-sixth of all the Imports from the United States, some of the outstanding items being four-fifths of the American oxports of hams, more than hair tho tobacco, worth $70,400,000, and 30 per cont ot the total exports or motion picture sound equipment. Tho United States bought more than B0 per cent of Canada's total exports of fresh fish,- hides, skins and pulp wood, and between 80 and 90 per1 cent of her exportB of news print and wood pulp. , America, In turn, sold in Canada moro than half Its total exports of corn, vegetables, oranges and crude potroloum, nearly half Its Iron, and steel and a third of Its foreign sates of radio apparatus. The United States bought 16 per cent moro or Canada's exports than tho entire Empire did, 60 per cent moro than the United Kingdom and 28 times as much as Australia and New Zoaland combined. About one-third or the total long term foreign Investments of the United States, amounting to more than 6,000.0OO,O00. are in the Brit ish Empire, most of them In Canada and Newfoundland, but nearly $700, 000,000 In the United Kingdom It Heir, nearly $600,000100 In Australia and New Zealand and several mil lions in British Africa, the Wost Iri dles and Malaya.
