accordance with the standard of
life which they have maintained
in the past,
As part of the right of support,
a wife has an implied right to
pledge her husband's credit for
necessaries which is very dif-
ficult to rescind. The extent of a
husband's liability for his wife's
debts is difficult to define.
An advertisement in the local
newspaper warning tradesmen
that he will not be resonsible for
his wife's debts is of little value
according to my information. A
better idea is for the husband to
contact the local tradespeople
separately and let the latter then
take the responsibility as to
whether they give credit to the
wife or not.
The wife is not responsible for
her husband's debts except
where he entered into a contract
on her behalf and with her ex-
press authority.
And that, dear readers, is just
some of the information included
in "Law and the Woman in
Ontario." Should you be in-
terested in hearing what the law
has to say about property rights,
dissolution of marriage and
inheritance, these subjects will
be continued in another column
at as later date.
Voting
It points out that nowhere in
Ontario are women disqualified
from voting by reason only of
their sex. Any woman may vote if
she's a Canadian citizen or a
British subject and lived in the
country the year prior to the
election, The age qualification is
21 years in Federal elections and
18 years in provincial or
municipal elections,
Before an election a voters' list
will be prepared by enumerators
and once your name is on this list
you need only go to the appointed
polling station on election day to
cast your vote. If your name does
not appear on this list you will
have to contact the returning
official in your riding and have
your name added.
Anyone qualified to vote may
run as a candidate except
government employees, people
holding government contracts
and those guilty of corrupt
practice.
Marriage
Providing no lawful cause
exists to hinder the marriage
anyone who is 18 years of age
may be married three days after
the issue of a licence, or the time
specified by a Special Permit.
Instead of a marriage licence,
the couple may have marriage
banns announced by their
minister, the final announcement
being made five days before the
wedding, This alternative is not
available to those who have had a
previous marriage dissolved by
divorce or annulment.
Marriage may be solemnized in
either a religious or civil
ceremony. Civil marriages may
be performed by a judge in his
chamber or by a magistrate in
his office and must take place
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Girls, if you happen to have
your eye on your step-father,
forget it. Under the law you can't

Being English, the Helms miss

to notice anincrease of interest in
the game in this area.
They all love to watch hockey
and Richard played last year
and hopes to enroll with the

The Ronald Helm family
moved to Exeter this summer
from Montreal because Mr, Helm
is employed as an engineer with
Bell Areospace, Grand Bend.
They've taken up residence at
240 William Street where Anne
Helm is enjoying being the
chatelaine of their large home.
Originally from Yorkshire,.
England, the Helms Nye been
used to the faster pace of larger marry him. Nor can you wed
your uncle, nephew, brother, son,
husband's father or your niece's
husband.
Marriage of minors
No one under 18 years of age
may be married unless consent in
writing is obtained from the
father, or from the mother, in
cases where the father is dead or
not contributing to the support of
the young person,
Persons under 14 years of age
may be married only if
pregnancy is involved.
Living right next door to Anne
Helm is another new neighbor,
Dorothy Bowes, wife of the new
manager of Victoria and Grey
Trust Company.
They moved here in the early
prefer it over a big city," she
says.
Before moving to Exeter.
Dorothy had always worked
outside her home. Consequently
she finds .life quite different now
that she is home full time. "The
first week was like holidays but
by the second week I didn't know
what to do with myself." She is
hoping to find some part time
office work..
In her spare time Dorothy
hooks beautiful rugs and plays
golf, She is considering taking up
curling this winter,
Sharing the Bowes household is
"Tuf fee," a pedigreed American
white Eskimo dog. Although he's
11 years old 1W5 still got lots .of
spunk and takes his job of
guarding house seriously.
A very friendly, out-going
person, Dorothy is an active
worker with the Ladies Legion
Auxiliary, and she and her
husband are members of the
United Church of Canada.

It was St. Paul who said,
"There is no male or female , .
in the sight of God." In the sight
of God, yes, but in the case of
man it's taken several hundred
years to bring his thinking up-to-
date with St. Paul's.
Until fairly recent times,
women have not occupied a
position of equality with men. At
one time they were universally
regarded as inferior beings or
even as a form of property.
Now, women have a legal
status generally the same as men
under both civil and criminal
law,
A little booklet put out by the
Ontario Women's Bureau of The
Department of Labour called,
"Law and the Woman in Ontario

Change of name
I was surprised to read that
there is no law which requires a
woman to adopt her husband's
surname upon marriage. This
change of name if merely a
custom. However, after
marriage, a woman's passport is
no longer valid and she must
obtain a new one, which indicates
not only her own surname if she
chooses to continue using it, but
also her husband's surname. -
Support
One of the duties the law places
on a husband is that he must
support his wife. He must do so in

Exeter pleasant and more
relaxed.
The children, eight-year-old
Richard and six-year-old
Elizabeth "like it very much"
according to their Mother and
have already made many
friends.
Anne, an avid reader, is "very

cook, three time winner
Mrs. Eben Weigand is a three-
time champion of the Exeter Fall
Fair. Winner of 1968 and 1970, she
again led the field with her ar-
tistry in baking.
An artist in the kitchen she
really is, and friends keep her
busy baking them special bir-
thday, anniversary and wedding
cakes.
"I like to do it," she says,
"because I love to cook."
She likes to do many other
things as well. Her hooked mats
are beautiful to behold and her
nimble fingers turn out quilts,
embroidery and other sewing as
well.
Her daughter, Norma, is 24 and
has owned only two ready-made
dresses in her life. She much
