Marriage act raises age
Changes in the
Marriage Act, including a
new 16 years minimum
age for marriage, the
elimination of a 15 -day
residency period and the
abolition of legal action
for breach of promise,
come into effect in
Ontario August 1.
The Act is ad-
ministered by 'the
Registrar General's
office .which falls under
the aegis of the ministry
of consumer and com-
mercial relations.
The new legislation,
passed by the Ontario
legislature in November,
1977,also allows justices
of the peace to perform
marriages and increases
the marriage licence fee
to $20 from $15.
"We want to make it
more difficult for, young
people to marry," said
consumer minister Larry,,
Grossman. "Current
legislation in this area is
outdated and I really.
don't believe individuals
under the age of 16 have
either the maturity or the
stability to undertake the
responsiblities of.
matrimony."
Under current
legislation, persons 14 to
18 may marry with the
consent of .one parent. A
girl 13 or younger may
marry if she has a doc-
tor's certificate attesting
to pregnancy.
The new Act disallows
any marriage§ under the
age of 16, regardless of
pregnancy and requires
consent from both
parents for persons under
18, although there are
provisions for one -parent
or separated families.
The change, added the
minister, "is consistent
with the new Children's
Reform Act effective
March 31, 1978 which
abolished the status of
illegitimacy." All
children now have the
same legal rights
whether+ or not they are
born within a marriage.
In 1976, the latest year
for which figures are
available, there were 279
Ontario brides and four
grooms under the age of
16.
The elimination of the
residency period came as
a result of Law Reform
Commission recom-
mendations. "The 15 -day
wait," explained Norm
Vetere, deputy registrar
general, "caused a lot of
unnecessary com-
plications for persons
now living out of the
province who wished to
marry in Ontario."
The growing popularity
of civil marriages
prompted the move to
allow justices of the
peace, under the direc-
tion of a judge, to per-
form marriage
ceremonies. Of the 50,000
marriages performed in
the province last year,
more than 8,500, or about
17 percent, were civil
ceremonies.
"This put a lot of strain
on the judicial system,"
said Mr. Vetere. The
appointment of more
officials to perform
marriages, he added, "is
supported by many
church officials who feel
that some people do not
want and should lot have
religious services."

Goderich, a Universit$i of
Waterloo student, is
spending nin atravelling
mer
...
taking
library to campers in
Huron County.
The mobile library,
now in its second year of
operation, allows
holidaymakers to keep up
their reading. Campers
can borrow books from
the touring library as
they would from the
library back home.
Ms. Coulter is only one
of three students hired by
the Huron County
Library under the
Experience '78 em-
ployment program..
devised by the Ontario

employment program by
other libraries in the

Library System.
The , students are un-
dertaking a variety of
responsibilities, from

collection at the Elmira
Public ' Library to con-
ducting historital
research on the village of
Erin.
Bill Zambusi , co-'
ordinator of programs
and services for the
Midwestern Regional
Library System, said the
summer employment
program helps libraries
to complete important
work that often cannot be
undertaken by regular
staff on top of their usual
duties.
"Libraries have cer-
tainly benefitted from
this program since its
inception in 1975," he
said.
The 21 students are
being paid according to
their level of education,
their previous work
experience and their
qualifications. Most will
work from between 8 to 14

TRUTH
Truth can appear to us to be as hard and cold as ice.
God's truth is as warm and soft as sunshine on a Spring
day.
Jesus Christ was not primarily a revolutionary. His
mission was not to destroy existing society or forms of
government. He said in Luke 4:18, "The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because He has annointed mo to
preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal
the broken hearted...."
During His life on earth He exposed wickedness and
religious pretension, but never used His divine power
to harm or punish even the'most wicked or cruel. He
used His power for relief of sickness, even to raise the
dead and give joy where only sorrow and despair had
been.
He gave His life, not to protest or defeat, but in love for
the eternal blessing of the person who confesses that
he is a sinner and receives Christ as his Saviour. Romans
5:6 John 1:12.
