Blyth ,,523-4241 ' Repeating vows after 25 years of marriage is becoming quite popular. A picture in the news recently had 25 couples repeating their vows, all of them married for 25 years. It must have been impressive.• But where did the photographer ever find 25 counles.married 25 years? - As divorce rates -climb, the gamble of ma'rriage gives longer odds every year. I am of the opinion that simply repeating the marriage vows is not enough to keep couples coming back for another 25,years. What those services should do is include a few sug- gestions to.keep things running smoothly for another 2 1/2, decades. The service should include a clause whereby one partner promises aliivays to take out the garbage. Another clause should make final and unbreakablearrangements about who packs the, lunch for the next 15 years. And the person who does the shopping should agree to buy material out of which lunches are made.. There is nothing more distressing to me, sometimes a lunch-maker, to go to the refrigerator and find nothing to make a lunch out of. Those renewal vows should also 'say that a husband does not have to shiver with passion anymore when his wife scratches that spot between his shoulder blades that he can- not reach. And the wife should not have to greet him at the door every day in a see-through gown with a blue ribbon in her hair and a 'martini in her hand for him. We are both night people and I should not expect her to apologize when she steps on my feet at 6 a.m. while I am tripping over the bags under my eyes. I should not expect, her to apologize when she mistakenly pours me a bowl of cheese croutons instead of puffed wheat. BY DEBBIE RANNEY Morris Township held a meeting Monday night to discuss the Retch subdivision in Belgrave and an agreement they had made with developer Sam Pletch. At, a meeting of Morris Townsip held last year the council was supposed to have signed an agreement saying they would accept eight lots in the subdivision as a guarantee until the • subdivision was completed. But at Monday night's meeting the developer wanted to change •the agreement so he would be responsbile for' the maintenance of the lots till one year after Some clauses should be included for children, too, so they will be told that these two turkeys standing in front of the minister are really two individuals who have laughed and cried and strained and struggled for 25 years to give the kids a decent home. Children, it seems to me, find it difficult to believe that two people who have lived together for 25 years cal still be in love. Maybe they Want to, get away on a second honey= moon now and again. I can truthfully and earnestly say that marriage is the greatest, of institutions. Why, many ydung people spurn the idea is something I find difficult to accept. Common-law ar- rangements seem too easy to break and too easy to start. "That piece of paper" — the marriage licence — was im- portant to me when, it was issued. It cannot keep people together bdt it is the written proof of a cOmmitme,nt that is not lightly taken. Marriage is a wonderful learning opportunity whereby the independence is equal; the dependence is mutual. Lord Byron said polygamy may well be held in dread, not only as a sin, but as a bore. My marriage has never been boring. It is as exciting — even more exciting today — than it was when I was young and stupid and searching for true love.— Goethe said that the sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is, he said, an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity. The idea makes.sense to me. If I have another life to live, I hope I can meet the same person who has shared this one, with me so richly. She has made of this marriage something so precious that it is ineffable.' I'd like to meet her again next time and maybe pay my debt by giving her happiness and contentment. , She is all my dreams come, true, all my fantasies fulfilled.

The days of the cnam-smoiong reporter puffing his way through Perth County Board of Education meetings are officially over. The board passed a motion-last Tuesday night bringing to an end all smoking during both open and closed board meetings. Trustee Ronald. Bong, .,,who,.. brought the motion fonvard, told the board "it's not our right to tell people whether or not they can smoke or drink alcohol." "But is is our right,to.Protect our bodies from the harmful effects of cigarette _smoke," he added. Mr. Boyce suggested that a couple of no smoking signs be , hung in the board room to back up the motion, and also. that the board • perhaps. should "consult a lawyer." "The only time it's a problem," he continued, !'is when the press is here." He said a ban on smoking would also save board members money on their dry cleaning bills. Mr. Boyce insisted that while present members of the board are very good about sr>, • • • .

His lawyer Bob, Campbell' later said he would, accept a motion to pass the by-law to accept the. fats. Morris council however wanted more information on where they stood legally and an engineer's estimate of cost and they also wanted to see a copy of the original signed agreement which they Couldn't remember signing. Council decided to defer decisions until the next regular council meting. meeting. Seef -moOtihgs ...pidnoed.' Elevator Division Receiving NEW CROP CORN not smoking,. "after the election, a chain- smoker might be sitting beside you," Trustee Betty McMillan took Boyce's motion one step further, declaring that the ban should include closed as well as open meetings. "Everyone should have the right to breathe pure alt," she said. Trustee EariBowman said members of the press should be asked if they would willingly not smoke before a ban was forced on then. Trustee Robert McTavish agreed: "I don't know what you're going to do the first time someone decides to make an issue of it," he told the board. "We'd be in the position of not. being able to do that much about it," he. added.
