What sometimes is forgotten I'm afraid, is that adulthood brings its shares of responsibil- ities ---and it sometimes ap- pears that youth is eager to accept the privileges of adult- hood but is reluctant to take on the resulting responsibility. And that, my friends, is where trouble begins for all concerned. And that is also why folks of my age vintage are constantly so frustrated they become bitter and cynical. Having teenagers of my own, I know how eager kids are to reach the age of 18. Overnight they can transact their own financial deals, sign their own legal documents, languish in a pub, get into restricted mov- ies and generally live life to its fullest. There's nothing wrong in that either, providing the kids are prepared to make al the dec- isions that comes with adult- hood... and live with those decisions and their possible repercussions. T remember back to the dark ages when I was 18. How very, very young T was although 1 thought T was wise and mature, fully in command of my own life and sure as shooting 1 was right about everything. I remember I wanted to get married even though T'd vowed to become a school teacher and travel the world around before I settled down at the age of 25 or 30. My father advised me to for- get it, lie said I was too young to know my own mind, Ile said I could very well be in love today, but he doubted that love would last through a full year. But I knew better. I'd never felt quite like this before and I was certain this was the real thing. So at the magic age of 18 T signed on the dotted line and got married despite my father's protests. And my father, bless his heart, knew when he was beaten and waltzed me down the church aisles as though it was all his idea. But what my father didn't tell me... and what I soon found out... would fill a book. If it hadn't been for a wonderful, wonderful, very mature husband and his unwavering belief in God and a Christian marriage, our union would have been ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS my 'window SHOPPERS Cliff i(j��, EARLY IN WHO .8N ►uuL AU THE WEEK STEMS & PIECES 10 OZ MUSHROOMS DEL MONTE 48 OZ TINS PINEAPPLE JUICE ROSE BRAND 15 OZ SWEET PICKLES GREEN and WAX AYLMER BEANS TOKAY GRAPES 14 OZ 35c 2/69 39C 29c 49t LUCKY DOLLAR FOOD MARKET Phone 236-4316 Zurich THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 BY SHIRLEY J. KELLEE doomed, At 18 I was a child compared to tite woman who has emerged from 20 years of marriage. And there are days even now when I wonder whether T'm less sure of myself now than I was when 1 was 18! By the time I was 20, I bad a baby and a husband who was in hospital and off work because of a back ailment, By the time I was 22 I had another child and a share in a pile of debts. 13y the time I was 25 I was tired of this housewife thing. I was changing, maturing and developing new insights. 1 longed for the workday exper- iences I'd missed and I wanted to be free of the house --not necessarily the children and my husband --but most certainly the Plowing Queen (continued from page 1) cillor Ken Campbell, who plow- ed in place of Stephen Township Deputy -reeve Emil Desjardin.

Once more my wonderful husband charged into the breach, Lie urged me to do whatever would make me happy and fill my life. He even offered to help with the kids and the housework. I guess what I'm trying to say is that without my husband. I might not have faced up to my responsibilities as a young housewife and mother, I might very well have given up on marriage had it not been that my husband worked at our relationship together and taught me how to work at it too. I pity, therefore, the 18 -year olds today who believe they have all the answers and don't need the advice and the guidanc of anyone else. They may not be married or even considering it. Their problems may be as different from those I had as east is from west, but I know that by the time today's 18 -year olds are 25 and then 35, they are going to have a different outlook and a whole new set of rules to live by. And I know they are going to have regrets which can get all -consuming unless they learn to face up to their choices from the past and combine their efforts to make things work no matter what. That's what it means to take responsibility. LOVE'S LAST GIFT R EMEMBR reeaat♦yl h., 1 ' ANCE Whether It's a ® MONUMENT • MARKER © INSCRIPTION You are remembering as loved one. TET. PRYDE & SON LTD.
