E. Madill Secondary School and attended a luncheon. Vern Inglis of Mildmay is seated directly to Mr. Peterson's left. Premier Frank Miller called a spring election for May 2 on Monday. , David Peterson visits Madill S.S. David Peterson, leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, came to Wingham last Tues- day to entertain some ques- tions about ,his party and politics in general. Due to speculation about a possible provincialelection in May, Mr. Peterson took the op- portunity to inform students of his party's policies, while at the same time presenting his views on the policies of the Conservatives. Murray Elston, MPP for the riding of Huron -Bruce, was also present to answer some questions. Mr. Elston is currently the Liberal critic for the Attorney General at Queen's Park. Mr. Peterson gave a quick rundown of his party's policies and then was avail- able to be questioned by the students of Madill who at- tended the meeting. The visit by Mr. Peterson was a great experience for students who have had little experience in political mat- ters. Although there were quite a number of students at the meeting, there was a poor showing of eligible stu- dent voters who could have. taken this opportunity to question the Leader of the Opposition before the elec- tion. Perhaps, with the upcom- ing election, Premier Miller will visit F. E. Madill. I, for One, would have many ques- tions to ask him. —Julie Mulvey 13C Horticultural society meeting in the library BRUSSELS —,The hor- ticultural society met in the library last Monday with 32 members and guests in attendance.

Their meeting and falling in love was to change the course of history. In 1977, in the middle of a plowed field, 16 -year-old Lady Diana Spencer met her prince, Prince Charles of Wales, England's future king. He was "going with" her sister Sarah at the time, but he couldn't ,,help but notice, "What a jolly, at- tractive, 16 -year-old she was." Little did he realize at the time, that Diana would become the princess he'd long been searching for. After several months of history's most public court- ship, Buckingham Palace announced that the world's most eligible bachelor was to be married. Charles has joked since then that "the rest of the country chose her — I just popped the ques- tion ! " Their wedding enthralled the world; it was pomp and pagentry, splendour and ele- gance. It seemed time was at a standstill, that the world could forget its problems and enjoy this historic, fairytale lovestory. The ceremony was breathtaking and noth- ing short of sensational. But what was it that attracted Charles to her,,, and the,rest of the nation, for that mat- ter? The fact that Diana isn't either stormy, showy or stuf- fy appeals to us enormously. There's a warmth that radiates from her, a special feeling of caring. She's simply sweet, and human. And she proved it to us. She blushed when reporters pressed too hard on her rela- tionship with Charles; on some trying occasions with the press she was known to burst into tears; at the "wedding of the century" she flubbed his name, prom- ising to 'love, honor and keep Philip Charles Arthur George. She was doing what all ,pf us would have done in her place, not used to all the never-ending attention, not quite sure how to deal with it.. It was enchanting and new because she showed she was vulnerable. She was just like us — she got her famous haircut dte at a hairdresser where we could all go; she shopped in stores we could all shop; she loved soap operas on the "telly", ro- mance novels and Duran Duran, just like all the rest of us. Right from the start,`she showed us she was just -like anybody else, and she's been doing it ever since; that's what endears her to us. The result? Minima of people have sat up and noticed this new, young royal — and the rest of the family for that matter. She was like a breath of fresh air. Diana helps ' bring the monarchy closer to us, and gives us a better understanding of what royalty is all about. That their life isn't all tree plant- ing and boring ceremonies,. as some people still believe. A great deal of their time is spent doing just that, but Diana has given us another, more refreshing view of royalty. - People are now" forever fascinated with the life of Diana and the royals. After Charles and Diana married, it might have been expected that everybody .would have stopped making such a fuss over them both. Diana would settle into a new, less glamorous role of wife and mother. Not so. Far from disappearing from view, Diana, the carefree teenager was flowering into Diana, the sophisticated princess. The births of their two sons, William and Henry, touched the hearts of mil- lions, as the joy on their faces reflected their love and happiness. All of a sudden, every country was clamour- ing for a visit from her, and in 1983, from June.14 to July 1, (Diana's birthday) Cana- da was one of these lucky countries. J The whole nation was de- lighted and the crowds — full of Diana -watchers - were enormous. "Di -mania" had struck again.. _ Diana had taken yet another step in bringing us and the monarcy closer together. As the story goes, let's hope Diana and her family "live happily ever after." —Julie Stewart -Fifty years ago, in Oshawa, Ontario, the Mc- Laughlin Motor Company was founded.
