This year, on all their full-size modeL.,„Pontiac's engineers have turned their attention to the little bumps and bruises of everyday driving life. They've fitted two steel boxes filled with a resilient material between the front bumper and the frame. On minor impact, this. material cornpresses to absorb energy, then returns to its original shape. And the bumper returns to position. In addition, they've provided you with the option of ordering a thick strip of rubber-like material that runs flie—Wfidtlrof -b-oth-front-and-rear--- bumpers to help guard against scratches and dings.

Upon arrival• rose corsages were pinned on ,the guests of honor. Mrs. Emmerson Mitchell was, the mistress of ceremonies and opened the evening's program welcoming everyone. Dena and Debbie Wey sang a duet entitled "When I'm sixty- four" accompanied with their guitar'. MiSs Karen Young played a piano solo. Mrs. Jack Bryans played a piano solo, followed by a tree contest conducted by Emma Shortreed. Mrs. Ray Huether introduced Mrs. Harvey Brown, a former . organist at Walton, who played a piano medley. An instrumental and duet followed with Mrs. Herb Traviss at the piano and Mitchell with the violin. Beverly, her mother, Mrs. Allan McCall, and 'the groom's mother, Mrs. Stuart Stevenson, along with the groom's grand- mother, Mrs. Pearl Stevenson, were then asked to come forward and take their places atthe d,eco- rated chairs when Becky Nolan read the following address: To Beverly: On, this occasion, as we gather here, like this, To welcome another bride to be, into matri- monial bliss. Yes„ Beverly, you're,the honoured guest of this very throng, Who have gathered here to wish for you, the best in a journey long. It's just to wish you luck, and the best in life, As you both, go through your lifetime as man and wife. Our advice is free, but we think At is good, As you do your household chores the way you should. You never, never, give him bread That's hard as rocks and heavy as lead. Be sure your cakes are fluffy and light, And your tarts and meat are cooked "just right". His shoes must always be shiny and bright, His trousers pressed to look just ...right. Take care that his socks are all•complete, And buttons sewed on his shirts real neat. But with high ideals, and love sincere, The storms of life you need not fear. For God will lead you all thd way, To the peaceful calm of your happiest day. To confirm these wishes, we' present these gifts to you. And hope life holds richest bles- sings, all your lifetime through. 1 The shower gifts were pre- sented by Beverly's girl friends and while they were being opened a pretty tree of bows was assembled. Beverly expressed her thanks ' for the gifts and the •evening prepared for her. Each one that attended sighed their name on a table cloth withtameo Paints made by Mrs. E. Mitchell._ U:C.W. MEETING The McKillop Unit of the U.C. W. met at the manse with 18 members and 1 Visitor present. Mrs. Charles Mccutcheon presided- for the devotions.

AV1 the time normally spent by the board and the tea- chers in that area can, presumably, now be devoted to topics of education.

I would answer with sublime confidence, "Sure. Just along the hall to the boiler room, turn right, and it's about three 'doors down on your left." Now, I haven't a clue where Mr. Jacklin's room is. I think he's moved somewhere, and the place is so big I couldn't tell the kid how to' get there if I did know. It took me half an hour to find the new ,staff "lounge", which turned out to be a square, bleak, underground hole with no windows and a -couple of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. In the proposed cafetorium (a bastard word if there ever was one), the windows were sealed off because it would be air- conditioned. Then it was learned that it• wouldn't be air-conditioned. Can you imagine what it will be like in there with the smells of cooking and five hundred bodies, on a hot day. It seems to me that school architects are in a class by themselves, like car- penters who would never tackle anything bigger than an out-door privy. Perhaps I wrong them. Perhaps they are hampered by rigid budgets. But I can't imagine any firin that specializes in designing schools being asked to build something that combined aesthetics and utility. However, there's always a bright side to things. The public address system is not working. The bells are not working. These are two boons, and I hope they never get them working. None of the teachers has gone stir- crazy yet, despite the architect's fetish for windowless rooms. In fact, there's a certain gaiety and esprit de corps among the staff, the sort of thing that always emerges in a great disaster, like a bomb- ing blitz or a paralyzing blizzard. And the kids love it. Kids love con- fusion, especially in their teens, when they begin to resent bitterly regulations, rules and rigidity. They can wander through the ruins, pretend they got lost, chat with the work- men, and be late for crass: That's-living. Shower Honors Walton Bride _Dennis read the scripture from Genesis 6.

Of walking the plank been a combination When school opened, about fifteen hun- dred kids and eighty teachers walked into something that looked as though the Irish Republican Army had been using it for a couple of years as a testing ground for bombs. A new addition, about the third since I came here, was in its glorious death throes. That means it might be finished In six months. It was begun a year ago. It wasn't so bad during last winter and spring, because most of the construct- ion was outside: brick piling arid steel work. In *fact, it was quite lively es- pecially in the spring, with the Italian workers ogling the girls through the windows and being ogled back, and drink- ing beer on the job, and yelling and laughing. But during the summer, the termites, the inside workers, got into the mausoleum and the result, for a while at least, is complete chaos. The termites are the electricians, plumbers, floor and ceiling men and others of that ilk. If you aren't tripping over an electric cable or walking through some fresh-poured concrete, you're liable to be showered with sparks by a welder working overhead. The library isn't ready, there is no cafeteria, and the gym is not finished. These are pretty important areas in a school that size. Did you ever try to teach poetry with a jackhammer blasting a few feet away? It's like trying to have an elegant garden party in the middle of a monsoon. Did you ever try to teach anything in a room that has one naked, light bulb at the back and is so hill of somebody else's junk (equipment), that you couldn't see your students even if you had lights?
