November Wedding Solemnized In Christian Reformed Church Clinton News-Record-—Pg. 3 Thurs., Dec. 1, 1966 struck three. Or could it have been the fact that I was defying the laws of nature and of my miom and dad? Who knows? I pnly remember I loved to stay up late -— the later the better. Then I got married. There is nothing like mar riage to take the kick out of living. Just a fewx words from the minister and everything that had seemed so maddenly mysteriously romantic becomes crystal clear. Th’e illusion of blissful contentment is gone. In its place fs a rugged routine marked “No Other Choice” and you are tired — automatically. I used to vow I’d never get in the rut that had claimed my mother and father — and every other fogy I’d ever met —■* but the other night I realized I was comfortably settled into the same bed-by-ten-thirty — sleep-till-six-thirty schedule I had once deplored. I found too the night isn't half so thrilling when you sit up alone rocking Hattenany" In Legion Hall Tomorrow, Dec. 2 Members’ of the* Senior Course “Hats for You” are put-' ting, the finishing touches on their hats in preparation for Summary Day, says Sharon Carroll, Home Economist for Huron County.

Shirley Keller a prying baby who won't be gtiiled! As I swayed to and fro to the tune of my son’s ofl-key wall” ing, I thought of the time when he’d be big enough to conceal his troubles like everyone else! My mind wandered into the future when I’d probably lose sleep as he sowed those pro verbial ‘wild oats’, biif at least it Would be quiet then, I told myself. I looked at the finger-printed walls and grew weary in* the knowledge they needed a good washing and a coat of paint, I observed the spot where the Christmas tree will sit and got wearier as I considered the Shopping I needed- to do,’ I saw the ironing piled deep iii the basket and my eyelids drooped from sheer exhaustion. At last — silence. The wail- ,ing had become whining, the whining had diminished to Whimpering, the whimpering had softened to a whisper — and then silence., t The baby was warm and soft and cuddly. I tyas sleepy and relaxed and so-o-o lazy. Now I recalled what is so good about the night, It’s the best tame to hear yourself think — and to listen to the sounds of - a soul as it searches for life’s mean ings. 1 slrKii'. Si:: Kf N-.
