Perth B of E passes ""
smoking ban
The days of tne cnain-smoiong reporter
puffing his way through Perth County Board
of Education meetings are officially over.
The board passed a motion last Tuesday
night bringing to an end all smoking during
bath. open ..and closed-board meetings.
Trustee' Ronald Btiyce'r who brought the
motion forward, told the board "it's not our ,
right to,tell people whether or not they can
smoke or .drink alcohol."
"But is is our right to protect our bodies
from the harmful ' effects . of cigarette
smoke," he added.
' Mr. Boyce suggested that a couple of no
smoking signs be hung in the board room to
back up the motion, and also that the board
perhaps should "consult a lawyer."
".The only time it's a problem," hc..
continued, "is when the press is here."
He said a ban on snioking would also save
board members money on their dry cleaning
bills.
Mr. Boyce insisted that while-present
members of the board are very good about
not smoking, "atter the election a chain- ,
smoker might be sitting beside you."
Trustee Betty McMillan took Royce's
motion one step further, declaring that the
ban should include, closed as well as open
meetings.
"Everyone should have the right to
breathe pure air," she said.
, Trustee EariBowman said members of the
press should be asked if they would willingly
not smoke before a ban was forced on them.
Trustee Robert McTavish agreed: "I don't
know what you're going to do the first time
someone decides to make an issue of it," he
tc Id the board.
"We'd be in the position of not being able
to do that much about it," he added,
The motion passed, when eventually '
brought to aivote, and the two-hour meeting
passed without any cigarette-lighting inci-
dents.
The Huron County board of education
does not h,aye any similar ban on smoking
durii.g its' meetings.

If
' Repeating vows after '25' years of marriage is becoming
quite popular.
A picture in the news recently had 25 mimics repeating
their' vows, all of them married for 25 years. It must have
been impressive. But where did the photographer ever find
25 couples married 25 years?
As divorce rates .climb, the gamble of marriage gives
longer odds every year.
I am of the ,opinion that simply repeating the marriage
vows is not enough to keep cotiples coming back for another
25 years. What those services should do is include a few sug-
gestions to keep things -running smoothly for another 2 1/2
decades.
The service should include a clause whereby one partner
promises alivays to take out, the garbage. Another clause
should make final and unbreakable arrangementS about who
packs the, lunch for the next 15 years. And the person who
does the shopping should agree to buy material out of Which
lunches are made.
There is nothing more distressing to me, sometimes a
lunch-maker, to go to the refrigerator and find nothing to
make a lunch-out of.
Those renewal vows should also say that a husband does
not have to shiver with passion anymore when his wife
scratches that spot betWeen his shoulder blades that he can-
not reach. And the wife should not have to greet him at the
door every day. .seenthrough.gown with a blue..ribbon in

We are both night people and I should not expect her to

Morris Township held a meeting
Monday night to discuss the Pletch
subdivision in Belgrave and an agreement
they had .made with developer Sam. Pletch.
At a meeting of Morris Townsip held last
year the council was supposed to have
signed an agreement saying ,tigey would
accept eight lots in the subdivision as a
guarantee until the subdivision was
completed. But at Monday night's meeting
the developer wanted to change the
agreement so, he would be responsbile for
the maintenance of the lots till one year after
Some clauses should be included' for children, too, so they
will be told that these two turkeys standing inefront of the
minister are really two individuals %Ito have laughed and
cried and strained and struggled for 25 years to give the kids
a decent home.
Children, it seems to me, find it difficult to belieVe that
two people who have lived together for 25 years can still be
in lave. Maybe' they want to get away on a second honey=
moon now and again.
I can truthfully and earnestly say that marriage is the
greatest of institutions. Why many' young people spurn the
idea is something I find difficult to accept. Common-law ar-
rangements seem too easy to break and too easy to start.
"That,piece of paper" -- the marriage licence — was im-
portant to me when, it was issued. It cannot keep people
together but it is the written proof of a commitment that is
not lightly taken;
Marriage is a wonderful learning opportunity whereby the
independence is equal, the dependence is mutual. Lord
Byron said polygamy may well be held in dread, not only as
a sin, but as a bore. My marriage has never been boring. It
is as exciting — even more exciting today than it was
when I was young and stupid and searching for true love.-
Goethe said that the sum which two married people Owe
to one another defies calculation. It is, he said, an infinite
debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity.
- The-idea makes sense-to-me; If I. have-anotherlifelti
I hope I can meet the same person who has shared this one
with me so richly. She has made of this marriage something
so precious that it, is ineffable.
I'd like to meet her again next time and maybe pay my
debt by giving her happiness and contentment.
She is all my dreams come true, all my fantasies fulfilled.
