CAN Bea A\TYEA - , v3 Oh Ye is xs A A TRS A 3 3 -\ I I ---------- There are mo doubt many "human interest" stories are lost, because people are either not interested, or do not think of them as such. A good friend of this paper, Roy Scott telephoned us re- cently and told us about a fine elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henningsen, Seagrave, who last Thursday could look back on 62 years of married life. This in itself is worth pub- licity, but what became the highlight of our visit to the Henningsen home, was not the fact they had been married for 62 years, but the interesting and rewarding life the couple has lived, and in particular their 7 years in the Philippines. The second human interest story was brought to our atten- tion hy Vie Stouffer. The story this time was of a _ Recreation Tips Children need the protection of a lifejacket that is govern- ment approved and the correct size when playing around water or riding in boats. There are two sizes available; up to 45 Ibs. and from 45 to 90 Ibs. It 1s important that your child wear the size that corresponds to his weight. The Ontario Safety League states emphatically that over- sized and undersized jackets are dangerous for children. It is also important for child- ren to become accustomed to the feel of a lifejacket support- ing them in the water under the supervision of an adult. Then they will not panic if they should accidentally: fall into the water wearing their lifejacket. IT GETS A FELLA DOWN If you are about to enter an institution, it helps considerably to know the written and unwritten rules, what the grub is " like, and what you can get away with.

Even the vows are delivered ver- bally. This, of course, is one of the great flaws in marriage. ta In my opinion, no wedding should take place until both parties, in the presence of witnesses, have signed a written con. 'tract. During the drawing-up of the con- tract, every man should be represented by a lawyer who has been married for 20 years, every woman by her mother. What a deal of heart-burning and soul- searching, recrimination and retaliation, --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 possi: bilities 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 20-year-married lawyers. But let's get on. No matter how airtight the contract, it is the unwritten rules of the institution that will make you come up gasping for air. For the men.

My wife has been trying to remold me for two decades, and I'm proud to say I'm not a "better" man than on my wed-- ding day. In fact, I'm worse, as far as "talking things out." That's a lot of pop- pycock written by women who have been divorced twice. Marriage is a ruddy armed truce, that's what it is.
