"Don‘t Kid Me" They informed him they had been married for years. He gave them a look which clearlf toid them not to try and kid him! Why anyone knew that married people don‘t get romantic! The eouzl: Md.’ he‘d never been romantic, or married. ly the farmer tried to get the car out . . . but to no avail. It ':dr. cided they would have to a tow truck from town, and proâ€" The pair wished the ground eould swallow them up but inâ€" stead the farmer Proceeded to give them a severe lecture on the morals of young folks today. However they didn‘t meet with a very warm reception! In addiâ€" tion to being dragged out of bed, the farmer took one look at the location of the car and eyed the couple suspiciously. . f It was certainly obvious that the car was not in the middle of the field because they had missed a turn on the highway . . . or to admire the view. _ Each year, hundreds, if not thousands of men and women are forced into retirement because they have reached theâ€"age of sixty or sixtyâ€"five. These people do not want to retire. The prospect of sitting around waiting to die has no more appeal to them than the people twenty years younger. They know that so fam as their capacâ€" ity to think and do a good day‘s work is concerned, they are perfectâ€" ly capable just so long as the job is not too strenuous physically. Canada and her employers are as guilty if not more so than any other country. Read the want ads. Nearly every one specifies "not over forty or fortyâ€"five years of age." ‘Yet there are many men and women today who are far more capable and more willing to put in a full day‘s work than are many of the younger people who find no trouble obtaining employment whenever they feel like it. Went for Help f Not to be dismayed, they slrugâ€"! gled nobly to get it out . . . all to no avail. Finally, with the minâ€" utes ticking by, they realized they would simpl’ have to get help. A nearby farmhouse nalural’;\ seemed the logical place. s The rain of the day béfore had made the field muddy and the ®ar had sunk in far enough to prevent them moving it. Right now there are many young men wearing out the seat of their trousers at a job which could probably be handled more effiâ€" ciently by an older man. The young man would then be avaflable for work that required the physical endurance of the young, and the older man would be selfâ€"supporting and happy in his ability to earn a living. f The story is enough to cause even the most romantic of hearts to waver! Everything was just the same as it had been years ago. The row of poplars was still standing, the wild rose bushes were in full bloom and scented the night air, and the moon was bright. They were glad theg had come . . . until they â€" realize it was nearing eleven and they had better leave To their dismay they discovered the car wouldn‘t budge‘! _ This country would be far better off financially if people were allowed to work just as long as they wanted to and were able to intelligently handle the job.â€" These older people would then be able to look after themseives and live a fuller life becausg they could afford the things they need. The country would benefit for there would be no necessity for pouring out hundreds of thousapds of dollars for the maintenance of people who are still young anough to support themselves. y : % A short time ago I heard the woeful tale of a young married couple from these parts whose sentimental memories of their courting days led them into an fmbarassing adventure, to say the east. Drove to Rendezvous It so happened that this romanâ€" tic rendezvous was square in the middle of a field just outside town. So was there that they drove. Canada is fast approaching a stage wheére a large percentage of our population will be of an age to retire. The added burden on the average taxpayer could well be the straw that breaks the back of the financial camel. lt is never a healthy condition to have some people depending on uthers for enough to keep body and souk togeâ€" ther. Let the oldsters who can, earn their living. They‘ll be ‘@ lot happier and a lot better off in every way. The young couple in question are the parents of two small chilâ€" dren, one of school age. They deâ€" cided one evening to take in a movie. Making all the arrangeâ€" ments with their babyâ€"sitter, they infomred her they would be home about 11 o‘clock. Made Fateful Decision Now don‘t be shocked, because I imagine even Grampa had a faâ€" vorite treeâ€"shaded lane where he could stop the buggy to say sweet nothings to Grandma{ _ _ At any rate, they decided it‘ would be a most romantic gesture on the part of an old married couâ€" ple to reâ€"visit that parking place! Everything started out fine. They drove downtown to the moâ€" vie and enjoyed it. It was after they had left the theatre that they made their fateful decision. They got talking about the days before they were narried when the{ could go to a show without calling all over town for a babyâ€" sitter. One thing led to another and they remembered the special spot they used to "park".
