It seems crystal clear that politicâ€" ians are out to get all the political floss they can get through supportâ€" ing projects such as a new city hall and various culture centres. It also seems clear that they are gutless, shnrtsi;zhxd and extremely vague when it comes to launching a major and vital project such as renewing Tdéronto‘s 100 sewer system which Mayor Philip Givens now says is "a problem of disintegration that is taking place right beneath our feet."

"So." he commentâ€" ed, "we decided some time ago to give them something to talk about. We have the best dressed, best mannered children in this neighborhood. Maybe 1 am just a mechanic and can‘t afford to buy a new suit twice a vear, but no ane ever talks about our children because of it." 1 asked if it is true that it is not the parents so much but the children who really sufter in mixed marriages. Verna replied: "I think the children are the whole reason Murray and I are so happy. They know that no matter what happens, or where they go. they will always have our love, security and companionshin at home." Murray, who is a mechanic, said when they were first married, the odd. cheap cutting remark would almost bring them to tears when they went on a strole in a park. But long since then they have learned to weather the twoâ€"bit behaviour of ignorant people.

And her older sister, Sandra, 13, is one of those girls who wili soon mature into a full grown beauty. The first time I met their parents three vears ago, I askâ€" ed what it meant to be a Negro husband and white wife. If the Roman Catholic religion and Hebrew faith both profess a belief in the same God, why do they frown on mixed marriages of His children?
