Wins choir ribbon
for three months
Harry Dickson, nine-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Keith
Dickson, wears the Anglican
junior choir boy's medal for
attendance, attention and co-
operation.
No other member of the choir
has ever held this medal for
two consecutive months, so
Harry is justified in smiling
very proudly for he has held it
for not two, but three, consecu-
tive months.
To-day he is feeling very
badly for he came down with
the mumps after church yes-
terday, so will probably have to
pass on the medal next month,
Harry's 13-year-old brother
is also a member of the Jr.
Choir and his mother joined the
senior choir yesterday.

The new observatory, will
provide a centre, for research
projects, becoming more dif-
ficult at the university's on-
campus, Cronyn Memorial Ob-
servatory because of the city's
smoke and reflected light.
The Elginfield site has an
elevation of 1,075 feet and is
far enough from London, to
minimize interference from re-
flected light and smoke and yet
close enough for access for stu-
dents and universal personnel.
A great load has been lifted
from my mind. Fpr a while
there, I thought that chap, Rich-
ard Burton, was not going to do
right by our Liz. Now I can
sleep o' nights.
And I was delighted that they
were married in Canada. Even
though it took place in Montreal,
and everybody is aware that
Montreal is a wicked, wicked
place, being married in Canada
is a pretty serious proposition,
as we all know, don't we?
I Wonder if anyone pointed
out to the happy couple that a
Quebec marriage can be dis-
solved only by an act of par-
liament. There could be some
mighty exciting times in the
House of Commons in a couple
of years. Or six months.
Can't you just hear the se-
paratistes bellowing that the
English are trying to ram this
divorce down the throat of La
Belle Province, and thereby in-
suiting her sacred traditions,
detaining her ancient glory and
honor?
Anyway, it was a fine cere-
mony: the English-born Ameri-
can film star of Jewish faith,
married to the Welsh Presby-
terian stage actor by a Uni-
tarian minister in a French-
Canadian city. On Sunday.
A pretty select company at
the wedding, too. A fewfriends,
a gaggle of lawyers, and a brace
of public relations men. None
of those maiden aunts weeping
all over the bride's make-up.

prempting
The groom had been through
the ropes only once before.
This celminated in a Mexican
divorce last December, which
is reported to have cost him
$1,500,000. Questions Would you
pay that to get rid of your wife?
Depends on whether you had it,
you say? Sorry I asked,
I'll bet I know what you're
thinking, you're thinking I am
writing this snidely, with tongee
in cheek. You're -wrong. I'm just
glad things are settled so my
wife can get back to the ironing.
A lot of people, including
some who wouldn't give a nickel
to their blind leper cousin if he
ran around with girls, have
taken a very dim view of the
behavior of the glamorous pair.
People have told me, with great
satisfaction, that Toronto' s
upper . crust deliberately ig-
nored them.
Admit it, girls. Who would
you rather be than Liz Taylor?
Four husbands behind you, four
kids, a couple of million bucks
in the bank, and Richard Bur-
ton and a ring, all, at the age of
32. Admit it, chaps. Where is
the hardship in getting home
from work and having Miss
Taylor throw herself on your
bosom?

They may not be Abelard and
Heloise, Charles II and Nell
Gwyn, or Napoleon and Jose-
phine, but they have given us a
love story with enough color,
dash and flair to stir even
Canadians in the grip of March.
• Mr. Burton is the most elec-
tric actor I've ever seen. Miss
Taylor is a lady I would de-
finitely cross the street to chat
with. Good luck to them. And if
it's any help, my wife says,
"This will definitely last. She's
found the right man."
