However, for this week it is dedicated to the parents 'from the pen of John Milton, "They also serve who only stand and wait." +++ Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wise are back from a Florida holiday. They were ac- companied by daughter, Margie and her friend, Jennifer Wood. While visiting Disney World, among the thousands of sightseers at that popular attraction, they were to meet Martha Rath - burn of Goderich. Also, while in Florida they visited briefly with Rev. Park, former minister of Wesley -Willis United Church. + + + The wanderlust took Grace and Sam Castle of Dunlop Street on a three week bus tour through the Deep South as far as Mexico. They returned last Tuesday. Seven days in Padre Island south of Texas was their longest stay in one spot then there were visits to such well- known places as Chat- tanooga, New Orleans, San Antonio and the site of the Alamo, Dallas and Neuvo Laredo, Mexico. One day while eating in The Cattleman's Restaurant near the King Ranch in Texas, Sam engaged In conversation with two local cattle ranchers - or at least the one who acted as spokesman. This Texan related how he and his par- tner, "Me and Bo," operated a 6,000 acre ranch with 700 head of cattle. Rounding. up the cattle was accomplished by one of the pair in a helicopter while the other did the *ground work with ,the aid of half a dozen well-trained dogs. If you meet Sam ask him about his meeting with the Texans, "Me and Bo" ; it's quite a story. +++ Mrs. Margaret Thorndike, East Street, is back from a month-long holiday in Florida. In • North Palm Beach she visited with her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Brown, who are also back home this week.

On Monday evening, March 13, at the Legion Auxiliary meeting, Mrs. Helen Bisback was presented with a 25 -year pin for being an active member of the Ladies Legion Auxiliary. • +++ It's always nice when a former resident writes back to us. Mrs. Mary Blacker, now residing in Stratford, sent us a clipping from the Beacon Herald concerning her granddaughter, Lyn Gregory, who was one of 22 students from all over Ontario chosen to serve as Pages in the Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park, starting in May. Lyn is the daughter of Ross and Katherine Gregory of Stratford.

You'd probably criticize, complain, say some un- complimentary remarks about 'the quality of his work and the number of holidays he takes. Maybe some doctors, and other professionals for that matter, are overpaid but what I complain about, more than their -salaries, are the wages that some of our en- tertainers, particularly our athletes, are making. Did you realize that Phil Esposito on the NHL receives a salary of $325,000 a year, just to entertain the public? In fact, most players in the NHL are earning money close to the $100,000 mark if not more, except poor little Joe Contini (whoever he is) of the Colorado Rockies who only makes $30,000, the lowest on the list. " Now L.happen to be interested in hockey and enjoy the game, but not enough to see salaries like that paid out to men who are basically providing a minority of us with sport entertainment for eight months of the year. Sorely the services of a doctor, a lawyer, a farmer, maybe even a journalist are as equal if not more im- portant than that of a hockey player. However, it seems that the public values their social pleasures more highly than services needed to maintain a healthy, prosperous and relatively comfortable life. Why should some man, trying to move on two thin blades over a sheet of ice and hit a black object with a stick be paid more, than for instance, a farmer who supplies the country with milk, meat, grain products and vegetables to keep our stomachs full? Granted we do need some social pleasures to keep our sanity and maintain our happiness, but I think I'd rather get my own stick and puck and have a game of street hockey instead of paying the price of a seat at Maple Leaf Gardens to support Daryl Sittler's $165,000 salary. �i>!t 414 *IN )4n Twyla Phillips, of Egmondville, models a cotton khaki pleated dress at the fashion show March 8 at the Clinton Legion Hall.

Twelve high school students are going to get a chance to sharpen up on their F ench this week. The students, and a geography teacher from Central Huron Secondary and his wife, are going to France for 10 days. The group will be leaving on a charter air flight from Toronto March 16. This would have been their last day of school regardless of the teacher strike in Huron county. Friday, March 17, is the first day of the 10 -day Easter break. The students will spend most of their time in Paris although they will go on a two-day bus excursion to the Loire Valley, just outside of the city. They will take a cruise down the Seine River and a walk down the famous Champs -Elysees Boulevard. They will , visit the Notre Dame cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon's tomb, Louvres, and the Eiffel tower.

How can I -get it back? In order' to avail yourself you must apply to a county court judge within 30 days of the confiscation in 'the county where the car was seized. The judge will then set a date for a hearing, whereupon you must serve notice upon the Minister of National Health and Welfare not later than 15 days before the hearing date. At the hearing you must show the court that you are innocent of any complicity in smuggling narcotics and that you acted reasonably in lending your car. If you're successful the judge will issue a declaratory order stating that your in terest in the car is un- diminished. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES - FITZGERALD Specializing in WEDDINGS • PASSPORTS INDUSTRIAL WORK 482-9502 or 3890 What my fiance and I both want to know is, if it's possible to make out a marriage contract stating that if it doesn't work out, we will dissolve it or agree to a divorce after a 3 year period. As we're not planning on having children we won't have that on our consciences. Phew - quite a question/ frankly we think Ann Landers would have been more at home with this sort of thing, so perhaps you should direct it to her. however this much we can tell you, and that is, our law does not recognize this sort of contract. It is con- sidered absolutely void, as "contrary to the nature of marriage". Unless Canada introduces divorce by consent, you cannot contract to get a divorce. 482-3752 if busy: 482-9796 HIGHWAY south edge 4 CLINTON Would you give me the low- dow re promissory notes, please?
