MR. AND MRS. KEVIN•ASMUS.,
St, Augustine Romon Catholic Church was the setting for the
October 7 wedding of Morie Kathleen -Boyle, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Cyril Boyle, St. Augustine and Kevin Gerard Asmus,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Asmus of Zurich, formerly of

best man was John Creces and guests were ushered by
. Wayne Asmus, Ken Moore and Joseph Boyle. After o honey-
moon to Cape' Cod the couple took up residence' in Grosse
Pointe Park Michigan.
Wedding traditions
_, The tradition of the best
man goes back to the
- pr itive times when
marriage was by capture. -
The prehistoric bridegroom
setting out to steal a bride.
from a neighbouring tribe
would take along a str-ong-
armed friend to defend him
-while he got the girl.
The tradition of a
• • honeymoon originated with
the caveman. The bride -who
had been abducted by her
man, was hidden ,away from
her father's tribesman until -
their anger subsided and
:they gave up the chase.
• Early 'Anglo-Saxons
decreed that each wedding
guest bring a special bun to
the marriage. When all the
buns had been piled into a
huge mound on the table, the
bride and groom would try -to
kiss each other over the-tcp.
If they succeeded th it
marriage wluld be happy.
Mrs. M. Dearing opened
the meeting of the Afternoon
Unit U.C.W. of Exeter.

remember •imuch: but
sorpewhere• along the way.
the "TORCH" has been
dropped. We must pick it up

. Mott of us create images
in our .minds of famous peo-
ple- = movie stars. tv per-
sonalities, singers, etc. It is
difficult for us to imagine _
them- in different roles. and -
sometimes they're- previous
occupations are startling.' -
For examiSle, Desi Arnez.
a Cuban singer and band
leader. became well-known
on tv as the. sometimes
bewildered hiisband of that
madcap redhead. Lucy:-
Before
ucy"Before entering show
business, he was a bird cage ,,
cleaner. _-
Dean Martin was a steel
worker. and Clark -Gable
was a lumberjack.
For eleven years. com-
edienne Carol Burnett open-
ed her .weekly tv variety
show by standing in front of
.a.studio audience and
answering. their questions.
'Before she began perfor-
ming on stage. she was An
usherette directing
members of theatre
audiences to their, seats.. -
Many of today's' comics
. are bringing back' the brand
of humour characterized by'
W.C. Fields. Because of
that. I can picture him at his
earlier occupation - juggl-
ing. I.see him juggling three
objects shaped like bowling
pins` he has a fat cigar
Blenched between his teeth.'
and out of the corner of his
mouth he is :saying to his
shapely female assistant.
"Ah, yes my little
chickadee."
Joseph Wambaugh. a
successful author. gathered
the material for his novels
and television stories from
his true life experiences as a
policeman. -
Charlie Pride. who has
been one of the most popular
country singers in. the
United States for the past
dozen years. turned down a
career in professional
baseball. but he still works
out -at a pro team's training
camp ea h spring.
Babe Ruth. one- of the'
greatest baseball players of
all time7was a bartender.
- Even if you're not a
• sport fan. you've probably
heard of Reward Cosell.-
spo.rtscas.tete._, for. -an
America*. _-televi-dipn
network. If you haven't
heard him. you've probably
heard a comedian imitating
him. He has a distinctive
way with words, and I was
' not surprised to learn he had
• 'been a lawyer.
I can hear him now:
"Ladies and gentlemen of
't tie jury; you see before you
my client. the defendant - a
woman deserted by her hus-
band. scorned by her
•
Interesting
friends, a victim of the
proverbial triangle. Her fate
... is in your hands."
The previous occupations
of some famous people are
well-known. Remember
Perry Como? For several
years: he hosted a weekly tv
variety show. I recall seeing
him sitting on.a stool in front
of a music stand and croon-
ing songs that had been Ire
quested by•the•audiencein
letters.
A few years age "Mr.. C."
,vent into semi -retirement
to travel around: the -world.
He pops up once in awhile on
tv specials, and his records
are played occasionally -on
radio stations. "Mr..0:" has

Mosteknow that
•
because he became famous
for singing on a stool in a
television or recording
studio, he stood behind a
chair in a barber shop. I
wonder if he sang to hit
customers while he cut their'
hair?
And I wonder how many
potential Mr. C.s we have
crooning in the barber shops
in town.
Another rise to farhe that
most people are familiar
with. is .the story of Elvis
Presley. who gyrated his
way from a truck driver to a
musical legend.
Millions of fans were
shocked by his death and
travelled thousands of miles
to attend his funeral.
Elvis impersonators are
Odds 'n Ends
trying to keep the legend of
the "king of rock and roll"
alive by dressing like him.
singing like him .and perfor-
ming like him. Presley look-
alike coitests have been
held. "and one fellow even
had plastic surgery to make
himself look more like the
•legendary Elvis.
There will never be
.another Elvis Presley. but 1
wonder how many truck
drivers think they could sing,
and gyrate their way to
fame and_fortune.
Truck'driver to, king ,of
rock and roll; lawyer 'to
sportscaster; juggler to
renowned comedian:
barlender to• baseball
slugger; bird cage cleaner
to singer, band leader and
actor - sometimes the
stories before the fame are
-as-inieresting--as-the ones
that come after the fame.
