RCAF Golden Hawks performed their near
miracles in air manoeuvering on Saturday at RCAF
Station Centralia before an estimated crowd of
13,000 in excellent weather for the event. The wiz-
ardry of the high speed craft kept in perfect forma-
tion against the bright blue sky, laced with drift-
ing clouds, was accented by the trails of red, white
and blue smoke left behind the craft. People were
so carried away, that when Emcee Flying Officer
Gibson asked for applause, the crowd responded
,with a "show of hands", as if the pilots could,hear
and appreciate the gesture. (RCAF Photo)

This week my wife -and I
had an anaiivarsary, NO, we
didn't teelebra(e it, We just had
it, There are no eeldbrations
when these milestones loom up,
out of 'the domestic fog, . We
merely observe them, with a
mixture of wonder, awes and
incredulity,'

on until I was 25, As the kids
say, "Haw crazy can you -get?"
Into each. life some rain must

Ent it . didn't forecast a full-
scale storm. It was raining
hard the day we were married
and 'it's been thundering and
lightning ever since.
One thing about our mar-
riage, 'though. We started off
on the right foot. And we've
never been' ins step -since.
Yes, -we were well organized,
financially secure_ and -emotion-
ally mature, None! of this rush-
ing into a hasty, ill-considered,
poorly-matched union that we
see so often -among the young
people today. Everything 'was
well planned and carefully pre-
pared before we leaped into the
quicksand. •-
We 'were just Starting fourth
year of college. I said, "Let's
get married." She said, "All
right." We dug -up a minister
and a few mourners, and plight-
ed the -good -old troth, We then
jumped into a borrowed cam
and took off for a honeymoon
in a borrowed cottage, where we
lived on love and borrowed
money.
And when we returned there
-was none of this business of
moving in with the folks. No.
I'd rented as smart little apart-
ment where my bride -and I
were going to live just like real
married people. The neighbour-
hood was a little on the Shabby
side—just a block from the red-
light district, but it was only
$10 a week. I made sure we
arrived after dark and she
didn't even notice 'the poolroom
next door.
* *
I wish. I could say that
ried her over the threshold. I'd
planned to, but I couldn't find
the dam' key. And there fol-
lowed our first -fight, one of
those brief and bitter ,alterca-
tions that have been so frequent
in the subsequent 16 years, as
I have looked for various keys
in front of various doors all
over the country.
Perhaps this incident took'
the keen edge off -her thrill at
entering our first borne. At any
rate, when the crumby old land-
lady finally let us in, the bride
didn't stand there and squeal
with delight. as I'd expected.
She otook one swift glance
around, threw me the first of
several thousand murderotts
looks, and burst Into 'tears.
I didt.'t understand her then-,
and I've been trying since that
September day 16 years ago
with' no more success, That was
a perfectly good room, with a
pull-out bed, a two-ring gas
burner, -and a bathroom just,
up on the next floor and clown
the corridor as little way. And
I've been spoiling that girl
ever Since.
We've been through -a lot to-
gether in the ensuing years;
better and worse, richer and
poorer, sickness and! health,
children and mortgages. And
you've only to take a look at
us to know which one has
thrived on it. * *
I've lost quite a bit of my
hair, a good many of my teeth-,
most of my illusions, and all
the arguments-. All I've picked
up is a small pot, as heap of
obligations-, and a hunted look.
The Old Lady .hasn't lost a
thing. She Still has the slim
figure, the fine dark eyes, the
dark hair; the white teeth and
all the rest of her good looks,
And she picked up tWo chil-
dren, a joint chequing account
arid a maddening air of infalli-
bility. It isn't fair. .
However, that's the way
things have gone, and I'm not
complaining. As the old proverb
has it, "A man works from sun
to sun, but a woman sits around
watching television." No, I
don't Object to -having worked
My head to the bone for the-
last 16 years to keep her and
her children in style. I've writ-
ten all -that off as ekperiegice.
Whait gets nit IS not the past,
but the future--the knorwledge
that I will have to live, until
death do its part, with- a woman.
wile Is not only better looking
and smarter than I -am; but
knows, it.

WHEN - on Sunday during the
gloomy, drizzling .afternoon, residents
of all ages in Usborne and Hibbert
TownShips (and from. further afield)
gathered to honour a native son, in the
person of the late Hon, J. G. -Gardiner,
they honoured a Man termed by his
biographer "The last of the great Cana,
dian liberals!' He meant a small "I"
Nathaniel ienson, Toronto school
teacher, writer • of history and guest
speaker on this special day said he
believed the Liberal party had made .a
great mistake when Gardiner did not
inherit -the leadership from the Hon,
McKenzie King. "What King did not
realize," said Benson, "although Gard-
irier did, was that the Hon. L. St,
Laurent could not control the Hon. C.
D. Howe and Howe, uncontrolled, man-
aged to run the Liberal party into the
ground."
Mr. Benson made it clear that from
his knoWledge of the Liberal party, the
Hon. William Lyon McKenzie and his
grandson, McKenzie King, and his per-
sonal acquaintance with Gardiner, that
he believed the latter would have made
a Prime Minister of Canada worthy of
the status that the former two enjoy
in the memories of Canadians. •
Many who gathered to honour Mr.
Gardiner must have been thrilled by
the thought. Many must have consider-
ed it unusual, 'however, • because they,
or older members of their family grew
up with Jimmy Gardiner. If they' did
not know him persdnally, they knew
brothers and sisters and relatives—and
continued to know them all of the time
that Jimmy was helping to form agri-
cultural and national policies for the
Dominion of Canada,
People find it hard to recognize
outstanding worth in those they know
well. The saying is "A prophet is never
appreciated in his own country,"
Well, that cannot be said of the
great, the late, the Hon. James G.
Gardiner,
It is good to see relatives and
neighbours gather to honour their
own,
Soon Fall
Gently the pine trees are swaying
Softly the crickets call
As they hurry around with their
message
Saying it soon will be fall!
Squirrels and chipmunks are busy
Gathering food for their store
The ducks and the geese fly off
southward
And the trees wear their gold coats
- once more.

Puppies, like children, 'love at-
tention;
We may think of a dog as a
-`cliurrifb -animal" but believe me,
this is :only because. he can't
speak our language. Most dogs
understand our language,, or at
least our tone of voice, more
than we think. 'In training a
pup to be clean in- his habits,
especially indoors, you mere-
ly speak in a sharp tone to let
him know he has done -some-
thing wrong, you will notice
he will soon catch on; In the
same way, your .pleased and
softened tone of voice registers
praise to his ears -and he -soon
recognizes -the difference.
Iry !teaching a dog, don't ever
slap him with your hand or
with a stick. The "best -thing
to use is a folded, newspaper.
It will impart enough feeling
through the fur to make him
know when he is wrong, but
its primary benefit seems to be
from the noise it makes. Later
you will find that all you need
do with a "paper" trained dog
is to threaten him, with a rolled
newspaper,
Regardless of -what breed of
dog you choose, whether highly
pedigreed poodle or just plain
mutt With appealing eyes,
please keep in mind the amount
of room you have in your home,

My dad always said, "Get a

anikseveral dogs later, agree

I have heard say, "I refuse to.

-until the spring when it can

complained later that the fol-
lowing winter the dog was all
over town -and seldom at home.
On -the other hand, the fall
puppy -becomes accustomed to
being inside during the cold
weather, except -for necessary
Shout outings; and by spring in
most -cases, is -a real "home"
dog. Of course other things
enter into this too, If you want
to keep some of your nerves,
