Odds n' ends
by Elaine Townshend
I feel guilty. I let leftovers sit in the frig
for days, and they ended up in the garbage
because I didn't feel like eating the same
. dish again.
Most people .in Third World countries,
like Bangladesh and Vietnam, can't afford
even one meal a day. Each morning they
line up for a cup of milk' provided .by an
overseas relief agency and for most, it's
the only sustenance of the day.
I also feel a little guilty because I bought
two new sweaters for winter, not because
the old ones wouldn't have kept me warm
but just because I wanted a change.
If people can't afford one meal a day,
they certainly aren't going to be able to buy
clothes even though what they're wearing
may be turning into rags. Some people
receive one used article of clothing a year
from a relief organization, and it must
stand up to twelve months of constant wash
and wear. ,
I saved
mnot
on to ey buy, a carpet for the
Jiving room, because the floor was bare
or cold but because I wanted a colour more
suitable to the furniture.
Many people would feel extremely
fortunate to have a floor to sleep on. They
sleep beside railroad tracks because they
have nowhere else to go.
I complain about a nagging coughor sore
throat or a flu bug that laid me low for a
few days. Meanwhile millions of people are
dying because of lack of immunization,
medicine, doctors and hospitals.
was remfrided of appalling conditions In
Third World countries a few weeks agW
when I viewed a slide presentation given
by Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova, founder and
executive'director of the Unitarian' Service
.Committee of Canada, which one 'of
Canada's oldest and largest overseas relief
agencies.
Sure, the presentation was designed to
Sharing
play on Ate emotions of the audience, to
evoke our sympathy and to rouse us to
action.
How else can we be jolted out of our '
complacency? Hew can we be made aware
of how fortunate we arc, how wasteful we
arc and how little we share? How else can
we be reminded that many people are not
as fortunate as we?
Practical questions come into our minds:
How much good can one person do? How
can we be sure our money and gifts get to
the. people who really need them? If those
people can't grow enough food to feed
themselves, why don't they cut down on
the population growth? Haven't they heard
of family planning?
Relief organizations of Canada and other
nations are concerned withi4more than the
inimediate needs of underprivileged coun-
tries. They are providing on-going pro-
grams in ,family planning, foster parent
plans, immunization, medical care, edu-
cation and training in • basic skills,
improved agriculture and community
development.
.The purpose. is to help people help
themselves, and an excellent example is
Korea, which raised herself from the
wreckage of war to stability and independ-
ence with the aid of foreign relief agencies.
How much help call one person give?
Perhaps not much, but if everyone felt
their contribution wasn't worth giving, the
agencies that have done so much good
around the world would never have been
formed and would never have survived
over the years.
We shouldn't give at random, though,
just to ease our consciences. We should do
a little research and find a repurtable outlet
that weleel we can trust. Then, if we give,
it is hopefully because we appreciate our
good fortune and sincerely want to share it.
The days when eight or ten'
families shared one telephone
line in the Seaforth area will
soon be another "remember
when" story.
Bell Canada plans to have
all the rural lines converted
to a four-party maximum
service by December 13 of
this year and also to have
private or two-party service
available to 'most customers
in the rural areas.
This conversion to,. four-
party maximum lines is part
of a four-year $600 million .
program now underway
throughout Bell Canada ter-
ritory.
Kathleen Diehl. of the Bell
Canada office in Stratford,.
said telephone users in. the
Clinton area have already
made the transition to four-
party service. The teonsition
was completed by Oct. 13.
' Other areas which will he
changing to the four-party
maximum service include the
Mitchell and Centralia ex-
changes.
Miss Diehl said the con-
struction forces have already
placed additional -cables in
'the Seaforth area to handle the
changeover.
She said as the company
regroups lines, some Bell
Canada customers will have
the four-party service before
the Dec. 13 deadline. How-
ever, customers will pay the
.old telephone rates until the
entire Seaforth exchange is
converted.
In the past. a rural,
residential customer, paid •
$3.45 per month to be on an
eight or ten party line. After
Dec. 13, the same customer
will pay $3.80 for the four-
party 'service.
Also, two-party customers
outside the built-up areas
will have mileage charges
increased. When the con-.
version is eomplete, only two
of the four phones on a
four-party line will ring when . •
an incoming call is received.
The Tuckersmith Municipal
„Telephone SyStern started
implementing four-party
maximum service in 1971.
Mel Graham, secretary-
treasurer of the company
said today there are only a
few lines remaining which
haven't been converted to
that system. The remaining •
multi-party lilies belong to
cottagers living along the
'akefront.

One aspect of Ontario's
new Family Law Reform Act
which has been slow to gain
recognition is the area of
marriage contracts. A con-`
tract which states how a
couple's property is to be
divided, or outlines their
support obligations towards
each other upon marriage
breakdown or sets out their
rights and obligations under
the marriage is now legally
valid
Most married couples or
pesons contemplating mar-
riage do net like to: think
about the future possiblity of
a diverce or separation, says
Guelph lawyer Gary Hearn,
so the marriage contract may
never become a newlywed
ritual. In fact, he says, it
would probably be a waste of
time and' money for mast
young' couples to consider
such' a move because their
individual assets are usually
limited. For older people.
however, or couples who
have been married several
years and have acquired a,
.number of assets, Mr. Hearn
suggests the marriage con-
tract might be a very good
investment.
At the present tine mar-
riage contracts will be pri-
marily contemplated by
persons .contemplating
marrying for the second
or third time, couples where
the age difference between
the parties is apparent or
parties contemplating se-
partition in the very near
future. Many ot' these people
probably have already gone
through difficult divorce pro-
ceedings or have been se-
parated before, suggests Mr,
Hearn, and recognize the
value of protecting their
individual' assets. 'Such pro-
perty as a home, auto-
mobiles, cottage, household
furnishings and in some
cases. bank accounts are
considered by law as family
assets, regardless of which
spouse owned, them at the
time of the marriage or
acquired them during the
course of the marriage. If
divorce should follow several
years after the marriage,
these family assets are con-
sidered to be shared 'equally
between the parties. subject
to an application being made
to the court for an unequal
sharing.
A couple can draw, up a
marriage contract, however,
to designate which items are
per, onal assets and which .are
really family assets. The
provisions of such a contract
will generally predominate
over the family reform legis-
lation, except in the cases of
certain rights in the matri-
monial home and custody of
the children. Neither spouse
can relinquish his or her
rights in these situations
except in a separation agree-
ment.
A marriage contract .may
be drawn up before a couple
marries, or at any * time
during the marriage, says
Mr. Hearn, but should be
revised periodically as both
the family • and personal
assets will be constantly
changing, The lawyer re-
tained to draw up the con-
tract will need information
about the kinds of assets
each spouse owns individ-
ually as well as jointly, the
type of expectations ex-
pected from the marriage
relationship, the financial
means' of both the husband
and wife, the. number of
children, and exactly how the
couple would want their
assets divided if a separ-
ation became a reality. ,
,Although it is not required
by law, Mr. Hearn advises
that each spouse should
consult, a different lawyer. It
may simnlv he a matter of
t
asking a second lawyer to
review the contract for either
husband or wife, You should
fell., understand ,the Mni,
cations, of a marriage con-
tract before you sign it, says'
Mr, Hearn, just as you
should understand any legal
document before committing
your signature to it.
Mr. Hearn is concerned
about the number of people
who buy a car. sign a lease,
take out. an insurance policy,
or arrange a mortgage with-
out investigating/ their legal
rights and obligations, He'll
be offering a non-credit
evening course this fall
through the University of
Guelph's ,Office of Con-
tinuing Education which will
outline these rights and
obligations. "Understanding
the Law" is designed to
help people understand a
number of legal documents,
including the marriage cote.
tract. It will also cover topics
such as small claims court
and consumer rights. What
recourse have you if you
aren't satisfied with service
to your car or the paint job on
your house, or if you think
you've been taken by a door
to door salesman?
"I'm expecting a number
of qu estions about the new
family law legislation," says
,Mr. Hearn. People will be
concerned about the impli-
'cations of the new Family
Law Reform Act with regard
to family assets, rights in the
matrimonial home and sup-
port, as well as whether or
not they might benefit front a
marriage contract.
