He was disap- pointed to miss the Canadian National at Hully Gully which was cancelled because of the' The other day, one of my regular readers (yes, there is another one besides my Mom) asked rine if my hus- hand ever threw things at me in response to the way i make fun of him in my column. Well, that question got nie thinking -- and as we celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary this week, 1 can honestly say that Victor's never been really, really angry about things i've writ- ten. Annoyed, yes, perturbed, yes, hut never really angry. Maybe I'm just lucky that he's not the violent type. ( OK, i can hear some of'his buddies laughing -- he's really' not violent: only when he puts on skates and hockey equipment does he get nasty.) But perhaps 1 have been a little rough on him over the five years i've been writing the column -- and we've been married. For example. he didn't get mad when i wrote that col- umn about painting the house. That was the time he yelled at me because the side 1 was painting was streaked and messy, while his was smooth and neat. Then we found out we were using two different kinds of paint - his can was superior quality and went on a lot better. So it wasn't my fault at all. But he didn't even get angry when i told everybody that. And that was before we were marriod -- he still had a couple of weeks to call off the wedding. Nor did he get upset the time 1 told everybody about how he got the speeding ticket and Pepper jumped up on the window of the truck and push- ed down the button, locking Victor out of the truck while he was talking to the policeman. Then Victor got a ride home with a friend and had to break into the side door of the house to get the spare keys. in doing so, he knocked over the Christmas tree. 1 • • r READY FOR ACTION — Shown prior to Wednesday's Dave Scatherd golf tourna- ment at the Oakwood golf club at Grand Bend with proceeds going to handicapped children are Bud Gowan, Bill Keunecke, Dove Scatcherd and Tony Relouw.

Mary's musings By Mary Alderson That was one of his better Christmas shopping excur- sions and he didn't seem to mind my telling everyone about it. Of course, there's been more columns about speeding tickets and locking keys in cars in the years since. Victor wasn't very angry either, the time I wrote about the boat falling off the back of the trailer into the river and floating downstream. in a storm by itself while we panicked on shore. We paddl- ed the canoe after it, Victor jumped into the boat and rescued it, leaving me to flounder alone in the canoe. 1 finally beached it and walked home. No, he didn't get mad when i told any of these stories or many more. i guess you'd call him a ''good sport". Which brings me to what i think is an essential ingredient of a good marriage. A sense of humour. If you can't laugh at yourselves or each other, what can you laugh at? Thanks. Victor, for making me laugh, whether intentional or unintentional. Thanks for providing me with so many columns over the past five years, and thanks for giving me the ideas for many more. Thanks for trimming my hair at mid- night, when you're tired and you've already done 25 hair- cuts that day. Thanks for feeding the dog every night when I'm tired and want to go to bed. Thanks for doing your half (or more!) around the house and thapks for putting out the garbdge every week. Thanks for bringing home Chineese food when L didn't feel like cooking. And thanks for all the times you brought home roses for no reason at all. Thanks for the last five years -- they've been great. May the next 55 be even better. • Karen Rodman, Rural Organization Specialist (Agriculture) Tiger Times 1 from - Stephen Central Jr. Olympics - Monday Stephen Central held their June 11, our school par- track and field meet June 1. ticipated in the Jr. Olympics The first place winners are as sponsored by the Royal Bank. follows: There were four events.

Townshend it took 560nglican delegates to the sciat elec- toral session of the synod of the Diocese of Huron almost as long Saturday to elect a new suffragan bishop as it did the federal Liberal delegates at last week's Ottawa conven- tion to name a new prime minister.

Robert Townshend, rector at St. George's Anglican Church in Owen Sound, was named the new assistant bishop. Townshend, 46, married and the father of three children, was born in London and graduated from the University of Western Ontario before taking course work for a master's degree at St. Augustine College, Canter- bury, England. He was or- dained to the priesthood May 13, 1963. A few minutes after Huron Bishop Derwyn Jones told the assembly Townshend would be official consecrated at the ca thedra l on Sept. 12.

Elwood Morden of Hamilton, former minister of the Granton Wesley charge of the United Church, was the guest speaker for the anniversary service. Rev. Morden entitled his message "Medicine for a Weary World". Freedom is what we have, Christ has set us free. We are confused by inflation, conflict of warfare and problems at home. A cheerful heart is good medicine, also a cheer- ful spirit. Cheerfulness belongs to the Christian faith, it is part and parcel of the joy in Christian life. The Gospel of Christ can give you more freedom of spirit than all the drugs and relaxing pills and other remedies. Let us enjoy the cheerful medicine of the spirit as we attend this anniversary ser- vice, said the speaker.

By Jack Rlddol) MPP More than 150 Ontario farmers made personal calls on every Member of the Legislative Assembly last week as part of a major lob- bying campaign organized by the Ontario Federation df Agriculture. Being that the farmers are so concerned about the future of agriculture and its impact on the economy of Ontario, that they were willing to take time off the land to come to Queen's Park, the regular order of business was set aside for an emergency debate: Opposition, members sup- ported the four -point program designed to improve the agricultural industry in On- tario, fully recognizing that the health of the farm sector is directly linked with economic growth and employ- ment in related industries. The OFA recommends a $67.4 million emergency payout to red meat producers based on 1983 production level. in the last three years the red meat producers of the province have been among the hardest hit farmers in Canada. The OFA also recommend- ed that the Ontario Farm Ad- justment Assistance Pro- gram be continued after 1984 and be renewable for a three year period. The eligibility for OFAAP should also be ex- panded and the interest sub- sidy be lowered to 10 percent from the present level of 12 percent. The OFAAP pro- gram Vas introduced to assist food producers with low equi- ty in dealing with high in- terest rates. To protect food producers from the rise and fall of in- terest rates the OFA urged the government to guarantee Farm debate that producers will not pay more than the negotiated rate plus '.2 percent on operating loans. The OFA also proposes that loans for investment in capital items both in buildings and machinery be available at 8 ,percent interest repayable over 10 years for an amount up to $50,000. An interesting debate -took place in the legislature and the farmers were pleased that their message permeated the public forum for all to heed. Driver Licence Photos ' Beginning in 1986 photographs will be required on all Ontario drivers' licences, in an effort to pre- vent borrowing and theft of licences. According to the Transportation Minister, James Snow, the $15 fee for a three-year licence will in- crease by $3 to $5 to cover the $6 million program. It was also announced that the province will keep a record of all defaulted speeding and moving viola- tion tickets in a computer, to be in a position to force drivers to pay all fines before renewing their licences. This plan could generate more than $4.5 million in revenue from defaulted tickets. Photographs are "one of the best way to prevent suspended drivers from bor- rowing or stealing someone else's licence to continue driv- ing", the Minister told the Legislature. Provincial police have found that many people who have lost their licences through careless or drunken driving are,back on the roads with borrowed licences. "This deliberate flouting of the law endangers all other motorists. Photographs will help keep these drivers off the road." British Columbia, Prince Edward island and Alberta already require photographs on drivers' licences. "Lemon" Legislation A wide range of measures designed to help protect car owners from repair rip-otts and new -car "lemons"' are being considered by the On- tario tovernment. A spokesman for the Ministry of Consumer and. Commercial Relations said that "there are problems in the industry." Figures were cited which indicated that nearly. 3,000 criminal charges for repair, fraud and odometer tamper- ing have been laid in the 4''2 years since the Ministry began teaming up with Metro Toronto Police in the hunt for abuses. The Government is con- sidering the imposition of a warranty on used cars, as well as forcing repair shops to • post a schqdule of rates and provide written estimates to customers before performing repairs, according to the Ministry. Child Welfare Legislation The Minister of Communi- ty and Social Services, Frank Drea, has announced that he will retract clauses of the pro- posed child welfare legisla- tion which would have given him sweeping powers over the province's 1,800 voluntary children's agencies. He has informed the Legislature that he intends to amend the pro- posed Child and Family Ser- vices Act to empower him to take over only the province's 51 government -financed Children's Aid Societies without Cabinet approval. With this latest amend- ment, the Minister will need Cabinet approval if he wants to seize or dissolve the Board of Directors or any other agencies with volunteer Boards of Directors such as Children's mental health cen- tres, family counselling cen- tres or other child -oriented services. It is anticipated that this announcement will be welcomed by many child agency representatives who have been protesting recent- ly over what they perceived to be excessive takeover powers for the Minister. Expenses Liberal MPP Remo Man- cini (Essex South) was ejected from the Ontario Legislature following a heated debate in which both Opposition parties charged that members of the Govern- ment were hiding their true expenses. The controversy developed after the Speaker tabled the annual report of in- dividual spending by Members for the fiscal year 1983-84. Opposition Members have in the past argued that the publication gives a distorted picture because Cabinet Members can "bury many of their costs within Ministry budgets." Rising on a point of privilege, Remo Mancini noted that the Speaker is pro- vided with a free apartment, yet the publication indicates that he has no accommoda- tion expenditures. 9 Wanted Immediately Experienced cook or someone with cooking experience Hessenland Restaurant RR 2 Zurich 236-7707
