Our Lady of Mount Carmel
church decorated with
poinsettias, evergreens and
lighted Christmas trees was the
setting for the marriage of
Jacqueline Alayne Taylor and
Wallace George Peters at 4 p.m.
Saturday, December 26. Rev. J.
G. Mooney officiated at the
double ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. Taylor
of Edmonton and Mrs. Margaret
Peters of St. John, New
Brunswick, is the mother of the
groom.
Given in marriage by her
father the bride wore a
traditional floor-length white
lagoda crepe gown styled with
empire waist appliqued with lace
and matching train
complemented with a net veil set
off by a juliet cap. She carried a
bouquet of red roses and white
mums.
Fail to name
top woman
Though women en masse were
big news in 1970, for the second
consecutive year Canadian
women's editors have been
unable to name an individual as
the top feminine news maker for
1970.
In the annual poll conducted
since 1951 women's editors of
newspapers and radio and
television stations have been
asked to vote for women who
have made the, most news in
their fields and for a woman
who has been most newsworthy
for the year.
This year 34 of them were
named most worthy women and
41 others scattered votes among
nine women.
The winners in the various
categories are: public affairs,
Anne Francis; sports, skier Betsy
Clifford; entertainment, singer
Anne Murray; literature, Anne
Hebert; news story of the year
most affecting women, the
report of the royal commission
on the status of women.
Miss Francis was chairman of
the royal commission on the
status of women. She was
appointed in 1967 by the then
prime minister Lester Pearson.
The report was tabled in the
House of Commons December 7.
Miss Francis works as a
freelance writer and broadcaster.
During the Second World War
she wrote a column about
women's war work in Winnipeg
and later wrote another for an
Ottawa newspaper on debates in
Parliament concerning the rights
of women. Her husband is John
Bird, parliamentary
correspondent for The Financial
Post.
Miss Clifford in Ottawa
recently won her first World Cup
ski event at the Criterum de la
Premiere Neige competition.
Earlier in the year she was
named to the Sports Hall of
Fame for her achievement in
becoming the youngest
competitor to win a gold medal
in a world skiing championship.
Last January when she was still
16, she won a giant slalom in the
world alpine skiing
championship in Italy.
Miss Hebert of Montreal is a
novelist and poet and her most
recent book, Kamouraska, is set
in 19th century Quebec, It has
sold 30,000 copies in France
Where it was published, and
more in Quebec,
Miss Murray was voted most
newsworthy woman in
entertainment in 1970 by a large
margin.
In a relatively short time the
24.year -old singer from
N.S, has come out of
regional television to the big
time, Her recording of Snowbird
has sold a million copies. She has
a CBC contract, contracts for US
network appearances and dates
with a US record firrn,
In the poll were several votes
for Mrs, Pierre Laporte, widow
of Quebec's murdered labor
minister, and Mrs, James Cross,
wife of the former British trade
commissioner hi Montreal,
Last summer, I read with
alarm that from the age of 35, we
begin to lose between 10,000 and
50,000 brain cells a day.
Since I am a couple of years
(or so) past the age of the
beginning of this brain drain I
began to seriously consider if
something could be done for the
remaining cells to make them a
little stronger and help them last a
little longer.
It was to polish up these cells
that I decided to take a night
course. There were dozens to
chose from, but I finally decided
on a twelve week writing
program.
Twenty three persons
enrolled...all ages, all sizes, both
sexes, whose vocations ranged
from dental assistant to
university historian.
The teacher was a
self-possessed young man in steel
rimmed glasses, turtle neck
purple sweater (complete with
heavy neck chain), with his legs
encased in tight, yellow, flaired
pants. The quickness of his
movements and the jerking of his
head intrigued and reminded me
of a fast footed killdeer running
up and down the sand screaming
its song to the wind.
I prayed his message would be
more effective.
But, right off, he disconcerted
us by passing on the information
that most writers are starving to
death.
"If you plan to write," he said,
"you had better have a good
trade, like teaching or welding, to
keep you in bread and butter."
With that, three of the men got up
and switched to welding. I would
have followed them but my hands
aren't steady enough for the
work.
Next, he said that we in the
group must learn to trust and love
each other. This was to assure us
that when we tore each other's
writing projects to pieces we
would know it was done without
malice or predjudice (as the
lawyers say). Instantly, we
became suspicious of each other.
"Just let one of these 'amateurs'
start pulling my work apart. . I
snarled under my breath.
Nevertheless, we spent the
greater part of our first writing
lesson stripping our souls bare in
all kinds of sensitive ways.
No need to bore you with the
content of the whole course, but
if you were in school back in my
era, you might be interested in
knowing what's happening to
poetry these days. To me a poem
has always been something like,
Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a
Country Church Yard, or The
Charge of The Light Brigade.
Well, I found out these
writings are as dead as a do-do,
and you'd be smart not to
mention you ever heard of them
when you're out with the clever
jet set.
We studied poetry and prose
of some modern authors to help
us understand why they were
successful enough in writing that
they didn't have to have a second
sideline (like welding or
teaching).
One type of contemporary
writing is called, 'concrete
poetry', so called I believe,
because it hits you so hard. One
such poem is "Fried
Shoes". . that's not the title,
that's the whole poem, mind you,
and our teacher told IA the author
had made a mint from it. I was so
inspired that I could hardly wait
to get home that night and set
down several of these
poems. . ."Steamed Pants",
"Stewed Socks", "Waffled
Collars" and others, and send
them off to one of the tonier
Facts N' Fancies
By Gwyn
magazines. Sad to say, they were
all returned. I guess the world can
only stand one concrete poem
every decade or so.
Another night, the teacher
instructed us on gaining self
confidence. "You must go
around telling everyone that you
are a writer. Soon, you will begin
to think of yourself as a author
and your self-confidence will
bloom.
"When you leave this class",
he urged, "tell the first person
you talk to 'I am a writer'. You
will be amazed at what it does for
your ego."
I did it. But, I must admit I felt
pretty silly sitting down on a
stool in Ritchie's and announcing
to the nice friendly Italian waiter,
"I AM A WRITER. Now, may I
have a cup of coffee, please."
I can't really say that my self
confidence was greatly improved
by the uneasy and side-long
glances he shot my way as I drank
my coffee.
During some sessions we
listened to records of modern
authors reading their own words.
It was exhilerating, even when I
didn't understand a word of what
they said.
Actually, I enjoyed the whole
course tremendously even though
.Rebekahs .select
1971 secret pals
Following the regular meeting
of Pride 'of Huron Rebekah
Lodge in. the lodge rooms last
Wednesday evening the secret
pal party was held when each
member presented her secret pal
of the year with a gift. Names
were drawn for next ear's pals.
Noble Grand Gladys Skinner
presided for the business
meeting. Vice-Grand Loretta
Ball reported on the sick and
shut-ins, births, deaths and
anniversaries. Five sunshine
boxes were sent to members.
Mary Fisher stated the CP&T
committee would meet Tuesday,
January 12. The secretary
Gladys Skinner read a list of
anniversaries to be observed
during the year. Members were
reminded of the Oddfellows
banquet. Initiation will be held
at the next meeting.
A dessert euchre will be held
February 10 at 1:30 and 7 p.m.
Plans are being made for a draw.
A number of the members have
celebrated birthdays since the
last meeting.
my editor boss tried to dampen
my spirits each week by reading
my work and grumbling that my
style, composition and grammer
wasn't improving a bit. (Those
`unimportant' things were
thrown to the wind in the first
class).
We did turn in writing
projects, however. These were
analysed by the teacher and
classmates. We students were
