AH LOVE, SWEET LOVE
If you were wagering that
this columnist would miss the
opportunity to talk about PET's
marriage, you have lost. I
haven't been so utterly thrilled
about anything for a long, long
time and there is just no way
that I will be still about the
wedding of Pet and Meg.
Those of you who read this
column faithfully will know
that I am a Trudeau supporter.
True, I was cold to the prime
minister at first. It took me
a while to learn to trust him,
but now I am possessed of
Trudeau-mania... and I'm
proud of it.
I don't really know how to
express my feelings about Pierre'
marriage except to say that I'm
tingling all over just thinking
about it. No, not that kind of
tingly. It's just the I'm so excit-
ed brand that comes over one
when you feel that you are on
the threshold of something wond-
erful.
It has occured to me since
Pierre's marriage that we are
just now about to learn what a
real swinger of Prime Minister
really is. Any fellow who can
court a young lady as lovely as
Margaret Sinclair right under the
noses of the Canadian press...
and actually marry her in a
church in one of Canada's most
up-to-the-minute cities... with-
out one word of rumor or gossip
to spoil it, is certainly a man
of rare alewekii
I couldn't believe Ely ears
when I heard the word. I really
thought Trudeau was one of
those perennial bachelors who
would always be an escort but
never a groom. Somehow I
thought of him as a man who
enjoyed the companionship of

women without desiring the
marital ties that accompany a
permanent arrangement.
But when I came to the real-
ization that this man actually
wooed and won the lovely Meg -
and had chosen to make her his
bride in a carefully planned,
quiet but romantic ceremony
with only a few close relatives
and friends present - I was ready
to cry. As one girl said, "It's
almost like a fairy tale, isn't
it."
Did you see the way Trudeau
behaved in front of the telev-
ision cameras in company with
his new bride? I tell you, it
was almost like watching a
love story. The man obviously
adored his wife and yet there
wasn't one gushy, nervous or
over -zealous gesture to show
it. I don't know. Somehow it
was in his eyes and in his man-
ner of movement. He was cons-
cious of her at his side and yet
he was completely at ease, as
though this was the way things
were meant to be.
There was a picture in one
of the dailies of Pierre Elliott
Trudeau going home from the
House of Commons for his lunch,
Even this brought out the goose -
bumps on a great many women
I know. It's true.
"I wonder what she had cook-
ed up?" one girl wondered.
"I wonder if they even ate at
all, " came one gal's thoughts.
You see. It is perfectly clear
from thos comments that the
Canadian wemerr.ie sot consid-
er Pierre Elliott Trudeau a sto-
dgy old fellow with a too -young
bride. Indeed not. There is
amply evidence that this nat-
ion's women think of the prime
minister as a virile he-man
who would please any woman
he would choose to make his
wife.
It is also plain that women -
maybe even some men, too -
think of Pierre as a human
being, a flesh and blood creat-
ure who loves and has deep
feelings just like the rest of us.
Add this new side of Pierre
to his recent outburst of "fuddle-
duddle" in the House, and you
have a picture of a man with
whom anyone can identify.. and
will, He's the first prime minist.
er this country has ever had who
behaves like the average man
yet thinks and produces like
a natural statesman.
He's the Canadian copy of
the late John F. Kennedy ---a
man first and an administrator
second, yet completely in harm
ony with the masses.
Congratulations, Mr. and
Mrs. P, E. Trudeau. May your
love endure beyond all else.
