The country benefits when it can draw on the skills of all the people for whom it has financed long years of training. The community benefits when its work force is strong and depend- able. The working mother ben- efits when she can take her children to a well-run municip- al day nursery knowing full well it is a steady, reliable aid; the employer benefits because he has a much wider choice of workers who are collectively happier and less prone to absent- eeism. Finally, the children benefit because they are in a structured environment which most often results in a total learning experience for them. Any way you want to look at it, municipal day care centres are the answer for modern day living. It isn't copping out. It is simple using all the country's resources to the very best adv- antage. And that's only good business in my books. THIEL - REICHERT Donna Marjorie Reichert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Reichert, Clinton, exchanged wedding vows with Kenneth Charles Thiel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Thiel, Zurich, on Saturday, November 10, 1973 at 7 p. m. in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich.

The soloist, Mrs. Belva Fuss, Hensall, cousin of the bride, ._ sang "Two Shall be One" and "The Wedding Prayer, " accomp- anied on the organ by Mrs. Jack Turkheim. Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a gown of nylon lagoda fashioned with a high neckline, long full sleeves, empire waist and det- achable chapel train elaborately trimmed with chantilly lace and tiny sequins. The mantilla headpiece held a cathedral length veil also edged in chant - illy lace. She carried a bouquet of white shasta daisies accented with red star flowers. Mrs. Carol Davidson, London, ixed flo;`ers more popular If you've got a gardener in the family --or just someone who likes houseplants --you don't have to choose only one plant per pot. "Mixed pans, " as they're called, are becoming popular because they offer a variety of plants in a single container. "Often a mixed pan will in- clude a pepper plant, some asparagus fern, a geranium, a begonia, and perhaps coleus or dusty miller, " says Dave Sang- ster, a horticultural specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. For Christmas, a typical mix- ed pan might include a single red poinsettia surrounded by white chrysanthemums. If you purchase a mixed pan, be sure to find out what color combin- ations you'll get when the blooms appear and the temper- ature and watering required for the plants in the collection. After blooming, many mixed pan plants can either be repotted as si'•.le houseplans or planted outdoors (lett spring. Joseph Church sister of the bride, was matron of honour. She wore a hot pink A-line gown with a high neck- line and long fitted sleeves; elegantly trimmed with ruffles and white brocade lace on the bodice, around the sleeves and collar, accented with matching pink bows of ribbon in her hair.

The bride and groom were honoured at still' another surpr- ise party by friends and relat- ives in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Thiel, Zurich. roIis my window dow From time to time, I'm rem- inded that working mothers are the forgotten people. Like the time just a day or so ago when my eldest son indicated once more to me that he expect- ed top performance at home from me no matter whether or not I was a career girl. Well niy good friends, as I've said before I'm no women's libber. I have no intention of burning my brassiere or convert- ing my signature to Ms. from Mrs. But I sure believe with all my heart that working mothers are necessary to this nation and should be treated as special people with special problems requiring special considerations. Where I personally ani conc- erned, of course, there is no problem other than that within my own household. My children II are all of an age now to be almost self-sufficient during the 1 daytime hours and the only static I I get from them is a dwindling supply of grocery items on the shelf; a cold sandwich for lunch instead of a hot snack; an unpres- sed shirt; an unmade bed; a messy kitchen when friends ar- rive. And although I repeatedly advise my family that they are as much a part of the house as I am, that it is their duty as much as mine to do the householc chores, they occasionally miss the pampering of a mother who has nothing else to do with her days but make life ever so pleas- ant for her loved ones. So I try.. I really and truly try to be as much of a mother as I am a car- eer woman although I'm always slipping up and being told about it. But at times like those, I am reminded that some working mothers do not have things so easy as I do. I begin to rememb- er back to the time long years ago when my children were little and I was going out to business every day. I remember making two and three trips to the car -- first with the day's supply of bottles and tinned goods, next with the diapers and the sleepers, and finally with the baby. And I remember those dreadful tinges when the babysitter called to advise she was sick or had an emergency call on a family matter, What to do with the baby? How to get to work on time when plans were changed at the last minute, And I remember the everlast- ing fear that the babysitter with whom your child got along so You will save power and money by turning off lights you are not using. Contrary to popular belief there is no surge of power when a light is switched on. Power ex- perts say this is a myth.

KELLER well would serve notice she was quitting and you would have to begin the search all over again for anew place, a new sitter, a new source of strength. Many people believe that a woman's place is in the home and most certainly, a mother has no right to leave her young- sters for a job. To that I say nonsense --stuff and nonsense. Employers will be the first to tell you that if you suddenly took away all their working mothers, there would be some large staff gaps to be filled. While I'm a firm believer in close family life, I'm also convinced that no woman -- married or single, childless or otherwise --should be denied ttie privilege to work away from home if that is her bag.
