My -grandparents
celebrated their sixtieth
wedding anniversary this
summer. Another c9uple,
who are friends and former
neighbours of theirs, marked
a similar occasion a few
weeks eerily, and since then
i've noticed newspaper
accounts of a few other
couples, who have been
married fifty years, sixty
years and even longer.
Sixty years! That's a long
time to be hitched to one
person.
Most of the couples --I've
talked to or read about grew.

Microwaves
on increase
Microwave cooking is
becoming increasingly pop-
ular these days. In 1972.
there were 12,000
microwave ovens in Cana-
dian homes. By 1977, the
numbers increased -to 76,000.
Recently, Ann Thomassen,
food consultant at the Food
Advisory Division of
Agriculture Canada directed
tests on fiooking chicken by
microwave.
"It took 11 to 15 minutes
•on the highest power of a 700
.A --watt--microwave oven - to
roast a 2 pound bird. For a
bird, the same size. it took
about 11/4 to 11 hburs at

Odds 'n Ends
How marriages have changed.
. years ago, consisted of
riding up and dowh the main
street of town in a horse and
buggy.
Most weddings took place
in the bride's home or the
church manse. The bride and
groom's parents, immediate
family and closest friends
might be there, or there
might be .ust the minis
and the - o
sign the marriage cer-
tificate.-_
After the ceremony, the
.couple was sometimes
driven around town in a
horse and buggy .or wagon,
and later they returned to
the bride's home for a dinner
prepared by mothers, sisters
and aunts.
At the end of the.day, the
bridal cotiple slipped away tb
their new homer which was
furnished with the bare
necessities they had been
.able to buy and a few wed-
ding gifts. Many of the gifts
were second-hand furniture
that had been in the family
tor years - Aunt Lizzie's iron
bed that mother had used in
the guest room or Grand=
ma's rocker that had sat in
the front room.
Honeymoons, in those
days. were rare. The newly-
weds- lost no time settling
down into married life.
It was a quiet simple
beginning to sixty years of
marriage. Quite a contrast to
the elaborate weddings of
today that take months of
planning and thousands of
dollars. There are gowns to
be made, tuxedos to be
rented and forty, fifty, one
hundred or more guests to be
wined and dined and en-
tertained.
The wedding dayi 4f most
.1978 bridal couples are much
different from those of the
1918 couples. and un-
fortunately, that's not the
-only difference in their
marriages.
The chances of today's
marriage lasting "until
death do us part" are -slim
and growing slimmer each
year. Three in every five
marriages in Canada end in
divorce. From 1965 to 1975,
the number of divorces in
Cartada multiplied five
times. -
The U. Census Bureau
predicts that in 1.985 one in
three . Americans will
divorce. Although eighty
percent of them will
remarry, the chances for a
successful marriage the
second time around will be
worse -than the first-time.
Young women are advised
to become career -oriented,
before marriage, because,
according to statistics. in a
few years they'll be divorced
with two vr• three kids to
support.
Things have changed,
people have changed. and
marriage is no longer ,the
"institution" it was once
considered to be.
