and to those who are returning after being away all summer we are de lighted to notice how many of the new teachers here are coming with a backlog of valuable teaching experience two of the inexperienced teachers are young actonians coming back home to begin their chosen career and of course we have a special welcome for them at the high school the streaming in troduced a few years ago is operating satisfactorily and to the benefit of the students the division into streams is perhaps one reason why the grade 13 results were better this year the school uniform did not find as wide usage last year as it might have the red grey and white scheme looked very smart and parents who outfitted young students are convinced they were saved money no one can insist the boys and girls wear uniforms but hopes are high again lets hope the parents cooperate the students agree and theres more uniformity this year church and community groups start meetings again and day by day the 10-

infidelity but wedded bliss is impossible if one part ner habitually gets drunk and beats the family runs away and never comes back or is confined indefinitely in jail or a mental hospital mr mcgachy noted that canada long ago adopted the british divorce law of 1870 or earlier making adultery the only ground for divorce and is still stuck with that law he expressed a hope that canada will follow the british example of 1937 add cruelty desertion and incurable lmnity and possibly incur- i able drunkenness and longterm impris onment to the list of the causes the financial post writer said that no religious group minority or majority has a right to impose its opinions on the whole community the law on marriage he says is not concerned with sin but only with the security of the state at the first of each parliamentary ses sion innumerable members present pri vate bills to parliament that die with adjournment if so many of our parlia mentarians are as concerned as they would like it to
