Resignation of Castlegar icipal b.

to all town residents but no one wil deny
a man an opportunity to advance in his
chosen profession.

Mr.. Logelin—who held his job here
for nine years—will leave a void that will

is to Make and Maintain a Good Marriage

of course, “so is Kingston Penitentiary.” But let's not

what marriage is like. Those who just think they're tough
get going and keep right on going. But we really tough
ones dig our heels in and stay with it.

And stay and stay and stay. According to all the
propaganda from movies, television, and the Ladies Home
Journal, marrige is one big, wonderful miasma of giving
and taking, of sharing, of total togetherness.

Oh, those things are there. You give and your wife
takes. She’s willing to share everything you have, from

is like that cotton candy you buy on the midway. It’s
whipped together out of hot air and sugar. It’s pink and
fluffy and you can hardly wait to get your teeth into
it. And the first mouthfull is sweet, delicious.

But pretty soon it’s gone, and you're a little sick,
and it’s all over your face and in your hair, and you’re
left with a little roll of gooey paper. That’s when mar-
riage really begins.

‘Well, Mr. Diefenbaker has a favorite saying: ‘When
the going gets tough, the tough get going” ‘And: that’s

your bank to your booze: Not necessarily equal
shares, but shares. And togetherness? You'll get total
togetherness until you look in the mirror some day,
when you're 65, and realize with’a shock that you look
more like your wife than she does.

But according to us old sweats, marriage is mostly a
matter of staying power. Stay out of jail, stay on the
job, stay away from other women, stay on‘the wagon,
stay healthy until your pension begins, and stay out of
her way when the old lady gets steamed up.

Which I plan to do when mine reads this column.
