hure 4iflwau needed it it easy to understand the feelings 6f members of planning board after council turned down their recommenda tion for a plan of subdivision for the t seynuck c griese property they promptly resigned members of the board obviously feel theres not much use being on a board whose recommendations are turned down as regularlyas theirs are v it would be in order to ask whats the use of having a planning board at all under these circumstances actually however members of the board and council are not very far apart in their thinking both want the pro- pertyaoj have a proper plan planning board felt the town should absorb the cost until the property is developed then the money would be returned in small chunks council by a marginal 54 decision did not savor this part of the recom mendation they decided the owner should bear the 1300 cost since he was the one who would benefit most their decision was handed down with the delicacy of a lumberjack at a ladies tea party we think the cause would have been better served if the decision had been delayed until both parties met to discuss it but thats all water under the bridge now the planners have resigned and apparently theres not much chance theyll reconsider the board has served the town well they are able men and served without remuneration devoting hours to plan ning and research which are becoming more complex with each passing year council could be more diplomatic when they deal with a situation like this one editorial page thaijcr haj uide ihtereau it is indeed a privilege for acton to have a leader in mayor les duby who is not afraid to actively promote and belong to such organizations as the central ontario regional development association and the ontario municipal associations town and village section it is an honor not only to him but to the town he represents when hes chosen chairman of these two organiz ations first of all it is recognition of his talents in this field but it is also an awareness on the part of others with wide and varied interests that he rep resents an area with similar ideals it focusses attention on the town as a community which has its problems but is willing to go out in the market place in search of fresh ideas for their solution for this is what these boards are for discussion of mutual problems and advancement of new ideas as well as being a springboard for the provin cial governments attention two reso lutions advanced by the acton repre sentatives on one board have already been endorsed by corda for in stance and have been headed to the ontario government with the backing of the entire association these may have been problems which seemed purely local but obvious ly fdund a sympathetic chord in repre sentatives from other municipalities in dicating many are common speed and better roads have elimin ated much of the distance which nur tured parochial thinking and local rival ries in days gone by people now are discovering the person next door is not much different than they are in fact they may have the same set of prob lems how will they solve them what approaches have they tried what methods dont work these boards act as clearing houses for such iinformation representatives get a wide education and avoid many of the mistakes made by others- in simi lar straits as well as picking up useful ideas those who knock the idea of partic ipating in boards of this ilk because of cost are certainly not comparing the figures on the credit side of the ledger with those on the liability column a

veritable garden of eden staff photo sugar and spice by bill smiley if you are about to enter an instit ution it helps considerably to know the written and unwritten rules what the grub is like and what you can get away with as a 20year inmate of that great in- stitution knowp as marriage may i be of help to those thousands who are going to leap before they look in this merry month of june in this particular institution unlike most the written rules are almost non existent even the vows are delivered verbally this of course is one of the great flaws of marriage in my opinion no wedding should take place until both parties in the pre sence of witnesses have signed a writ ten contract during the drawingup or the contract every man should be rep resented by a lawyer who has been mar ried for 20 years every woman by her mother what a deal of heartburning and soulsearching recrimination and retalia tion such a document could prevent what would be in the contract any thing- you like- who handles the money who does the dishes who gets up with the baby who gets out how many nights a week how high the bedroom window is to be up number of children the pos sibilities are illimitable there should also be a clause stating that the whole contract will be reviewed and redrawn every two years this would provide a regular and endless source of income for 20vearmarried lawyers bu lets gi on no matter how air tight the contract it is the unwritten rul es of the institution that will make vou come up gaspirg for lir for the men some things you should accept without question first voull never win an argument so dont argue just quietlv admit vou are wrong and then go ahead and do what vou know was right all the time second shes going to make vou a better man een

defensive about everything compare him aloud with your brothers your father and your male neighbors he feel guilty all the time and you can make him jump to it like a trained chimpanzee for both sexes a few general tips marriage despite the womens magazin es is not a beautiful fusing of two minds hearts and souls nor is it simply a mat ter of give and take neither is it a form ula of sharing of communication of talking things out thats a lot of pop pycock written bv women who have been divorced twice marriage is a ruddy armed truce thats what it is the only difference is that there are no big powers to get invol ved if it turns into a cold war or a hot one depending on the situation you have to fight it out for yourself after a few year you get mighty good at skirmishing advancing and re treating consolidating your position and setting up an ambush about kids have them early and have lots after the first novelty of liv ing with a strange woman or man wears off it is in them that you will find your greatest joy and sorrow they keep you voung they drive you crazy and keep vou from going insane lets see i think there was one other item oh ves the grub its usually pret ty good
