He does the only sensible thing, in the circumstances. He sits down with pencil and paper and lays out a plan of cleaning up, painting, and general im- provements. He reads it trium- phantly to his wife. He's so sincere she's really impressed. She's proud of him. A new leaf. First job he'll tackle is the front lawn. Then the cellar. Half an hour later, she dis- covers the new leaf is just the other side of the same one he turned over last year. She catches him cleaning up the front lawn by chipping grape- fruit skins into the coal-truck craters with a golf club. They have words. She dons her boots and rakes the lawn, sending him to the cellar. When he doesn't ....ow up for supper, she figures he's really bucking down to it, and goes down cellar to call him.

Aft- er dicing with death through a long, cruel winter, when his old side-kicks were aPpearing with monotonous regularity on the obituary page, I imagine he's pretty pleased with himself. In fact, I know he is. I was talking to one the ether day. As he sunned himself in front of the post office, he told me: "Didn't think I'd make It, back there in January.

Former resident weds We all know what a young man's fancy is supposed to lightly turn to in spring. But when you get right down to it, young men are vastly uninter- esting, except to themselves, recruiting officers, and, of course, young women. So we will ignore the fancy of young men this spring, es- pecially since it's lightly turn- ed to the same sort of thoughts in the other three seasons too. Let's examine the fancies of some of the more interesting age groups. Sole aim of very small males, in the spring, seems to be mud. They love mud. It has the same fascination for them that it has for small pigs. They like to walk in it, kneel in it, roll in it, push small girls down Ina, and bring as much as possible of it home with them. Slightly older boys have a fan- cy in the spring for an ything that is dangerous, foolish or ir- ritating. On the first day the temperature is above 40 they want to go hatless and bare- foot. They build rafts that sink. They dig caves in the sides of crumbly sandpits. They cross swollen streams on the slip- pery trunks of fallen trees. They walk on railway tracks. The mature, or married, man is stunned by spring. A few weeks ago, his home was quite attractive, with that nice white snow covering everything. Now it's nothing but a big, fat eye- sore. Paint peeling, eaves- troughs dangling, cellar window broken and a potato sack stuf- fed in it. Storm window for the southeast side of the kitchen still leaning against the house, Girls re-stage 50th birthday Owing to other activities, the Lucan-Clandeboye CGIT meet- ing was held after school last Monday in the United Church schoolroom.

It was decided to again have a candy table at the Shamrock Tea. Nancy Hardy led in the wor- ship service, the theme of which was "A Life is Changed". Mrs. Hodgins, the leader completed the discussion on "Why Mis- sions?" and was assisted by the Rev. G. W. gach. Baskets of white and colored mums formed the setting in St. Andrew's Anglican Church, La Salle, Ont., at 4 pm Saturday, Feb. 20, fora double-ring cere- mony, when the Rev. Stanley Smith united in wedlock Sarah Elizabeth Frances Veighey and Terrence Patrick Culbert. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davidson (David) Veighey of LaSalle and the groom is the son of Mrs. Mary Squire of London and the late Mel Culbert, formerly of Lucan. Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a street- length gown of Alencon lace over white peau de sole. The empire bodice featured a slightly scooped neckline and full length sleeves. An A-line skirt com- pleted her ensemble. A tiara of pearls and crystals held her bouffant shoulder-length net veil. She carried a cascade of white roses. Miss Rosabelle Veighey, stu- dent at the University of Tor- onto, as maid of honor, was her sister's only attendant. She chose a turquoise and gold bro- cade sheath and carried tur- quoise tinted carnations. The best man was Mr. Brian G. Fry of London and ushers were Mr. Peter C. Veighey and Mr. Mark G. Ferguson. The church organist, Mrs. Marsden, provided traditional wedding music and accompanied Mrs. Lloyd Gatland of Lambeth, who sang "The Lord's Prayer" and "0 Perfect Love". At a dinner in the church hall and a reception at the bride's home, the bride's moth- er received in a pink and white suit, black accessories and deep pink rose corsage. She was assisted by the groom's mother, in a blue silk suit, matching blue petal hat and light pink rose corsage. For travelling the br ide changed to a green and white wool suit., black accessories and corsage of white carnations. The young couple will make their home at 456 Wellington St., London.

Arthur (Tiger) Welsh 67, who at one time lived in the house,- now occupied by Mrs. Burns Smith, Alice St., Lucan and attended the Lucan High School. He was a decorat- ed hero of two World Wars, enlisting as a third class air mechanic while taking a teach- er's course at the University of Toronto in 1916.

After World War I he was postmaster at Sunderland, his birthplace, until the outbreak of World War II, when he joined the militia and was given com- mand of one of the batteries of the first anti-tank regiment. He won the DSO twice — first for capturing 21 German pris- oners and later for rescuing a trapped Canadian regiment. Major General Chris yokes nick-named him "The Tiger" for being one of the world's fightingest anti-tank officers in the Italian campaign. He also served 10 years as an Ontario cabinet minister and was sheriff of Ontario County and registrar of the Ontario Supreme Court at the time of his death. Besides his wife he is sur- vived by one son Anthony, a teacher at Bancroft and one daughter Mrs. C. Wilson of Omemee. FORD...Quietly takes your breath away!

It used to be that a Six had to be weak on power to be strong on economy. But Ford's new 240 Big Six is very economical and it delivers a walloping punch, especially with Cruise-O-Matic transmission. The new 240 Big Six is standard on Custom and Galaxie 500 models, It is more powerful, more durable, smoother running and more economical than last year's Six. There are other advantages to buying a 6-cylinder Ford besides getting the most powerful Six in Ford's class, There's Ford's Cruise-O-Matic with 3 speeds for easier passing and gas saving. And two driving ranges. The second starts you in 2nd gear--helps prevent you spin- ning your wheels in mud or snow. You've heard of the silent ride it's the first thing you notice and it is wonderful, The ride'is also smooth. So before you buy any new 6-cylinder car, check out the silent riding Ford with the new 240 Big Six. See your Ford Dealer. Ask about a six-cylinder convertible ... Spring is coming. JR.
