"Couples today have it too easy," says Clarence. "They start oiit with all the conven- iences and too much money. They don't work as hard as we did so they don't have as much reason to stay togeth- Clarence had to take time out from boiling sap in the family sugar bush when he and Caroline Eisler, who had moved from Manitoba four years earlier, were married on April 12, 1933 in the parsonage of Brodhagen Lutheran Church. And, after the wedding, he worked cutting wood for 65c a day with dinner and supper. By 1935, the Regeles bought the farm they still live on today. But, then it was only 50 acres of land with a three-room house on it. Clarence worked both on his farm and on other farms helpingwith chores and working a threshing mach- ine. For the first six years of farming, he used a walking plough to plough his fields. Caroline did all the baking, Brodhagen canning, sewing and other housework as well as helping outside with the cows, pigs, hens and crops. As her children, Doreen, Robert, Dorothy and Elsie were born, she would just take them outside to do the chores with her. And, when the Regeles were clearing the bush from their land, Caroline did the baking and cooking for seven men who boarded at their farm. "It was pretty tough for quite a while," says Carol- ine. That hard work eventually paid off for the Regeles. In 1942, they built a barn, in 1950, a shed and in 1952, they added a new kitchen to the back of the house. Clarence continued to work off the farm as well as a drainage inspector up until last year. "This is the first year he's been home all summer," Correspondent MRS. IJ L'EONHARDT - 345-2419 The Brodhagen Blushing Beauties met with the 4-H pledge read by Bev Rapien. Roll call which was, "Share, iIh the group one of the hings you had to smile about." The meeting contin- ued with talk about consum- ers' rights and responsibili- ties. Next they discussed about help for your hands. and manicures. They found out that a foot massage is a great w ay to pamper, and relax our feet. '1'o finish the lesson they „`,mpicted a crossword puzzle which involved questions from the lesson. Then every- one soaked -their hands in dish soap and water. After a good soaking they all gave themselves a manicure.

Corresppoondent JOAN CRONIN 345.2772 You weren't halucinating nor were you dreaming when you peered out the window on Sunday morning -- it was really snow! It was so depressing to see that stuff that 1 bet you wanted'to roll over and pull the covers over your head and sleep the day away We all have become quite spoiled with such a good winter that we automatically think the spring will turn out as fine, with lots of sun and warm breezes. The robins and early spring flowers are finding the sudden cold ra- ther hard to cope with but it was very short lived and we are now back to the green grass and mud. This is the time of year to roll the (awns and pick up fallen twigs in preparation for the next few months of lawn cutting. The farmers are getting their machinery all ship-shape for the busy seed- ing time as soon as the land dries. The spring houseclean- ing is being done, but only at a snail's pace with Mother Nature not providing enough sunny days to open doors and windows and air things out. . The college and university students will soon be out of school and looking for sum- mer employment and, the high school and elementary students will start counting the days left in their school year. But no matter how bad things look outside or how depressing times may get there is always someone, somewhere far worse off -than we are. The Dublin Catholic Women's League held their annual installation of officers meeting April 12 in the St. Patrick's Parish Hall.

The C.W.L. dues will be collected this coming week- end after mass and they are S3 per person for the coming year. The guest speaker Steve Chandler, who works with the Children's Aid Society in Stratford, was introduced by Mrs. Sheila Butters. Mr. Chandler spoke on the 'Pres- sures of Today's Society.' There' are a great many causes for these pressures such as the mobility of the family today. In the hustle and bustle of daily living everyone becomes so in- volved in their own wants and needs that the family lacks togetherness. In homes where the two parents are working to achieve financial security, the value of the dollar begins to replace fam- ily values. Today society is full of choices such as places to eat and movies to see when only a few short years ago one rarely ate out. Today with everyone seek, ing a career a family vacuum is created with this new independence found by the adults. People tend to live in a have -to -have world and tend to set their standards much too high,. Mso society's social way of living has seen the divorce rate rise very quickly which in the end creates a great deal of problems for the family. Mrs. Alice Louwagie thanked Mr. Chandler. It was also noted that Mrs. Margaret Looby and Miss Nell Doyle would be attend- ing the C.W.L. Convention in Windsor on May 11 and 12. 1 was informed this past weekend that the Murray Brothers annual card party was held at the home of Mr. Joe Murray in Kitchener. Staffa girl Correspondent MRS.
