WI The main points The main points of the Select Committee Report are: • the committee welcomes the creative aspects of reproductive technology and believes its recommendations do not imperil IVF clinics treating infertile couples. • the committee supports therapeutic experimentation on the human embryo, that is experiments intended to enhance the prospects of development of the embryo. Freezing of embryos may, in allowing for a more opportune time for implantation, also be permitted. • the committee does not support destructive non-therapeuf c experimentation on the human em ryo. T se are experiments which, whilst advancing medical science, inevitably and in the nature of the experim nt, d stroy the embryo. • the committe largely build its recommendations on the Declaration of Helsin i ( 1964) "co cern fo the interests of th subiect must always prevail over the inter s of science and society."

What can couples do to enrich their marriages, to keep them fresh and interesting over the long term? Marriage is meant to be a means of transforming spouses, or helping them to be more mature, caring and loving persons, writes Neil Parent. But this doesn't happen automatically. "If a marriage is going to enrich spouses, it will have to be enriched" through good communication, spiritual commitment and reaching out to
others, he says. Parent is representative for adult education at the US Catholic Conference. Theologian Theodore Hengesbach writes that couples enrich their marriage when they take time to enjoy life together. And it need not cost a lot of money - especially for couples who follow his suggestions for adventures". "shoestring Hengesbach is a teacher and administrator at Indiana University at South Bend, Indiana.
Marriage enrichment is preventive maintenance for marriage. It reminds couples to take time alone together to focus on qualities in their relationship rather than on problems, Jim and Mickey Steinitz of Collingswood, NJ, tell Katharine Bird. The couple's 10 years in Worldwide Marriage Encounter have helped them deepen their understanding of marriage commitment and learn communication skills, they add. Ms Bird is associate editor of the NC religious education series.
• \1arriage for me is an environment for intimate friendship which enables each partner to flourish and grow. But like a garden that needs watering and fertilizing so that seeds can flower, a marriage needs care and attention to keep a couple' relationship growing. An important part of marriage for couples is having fun together, taking time to re-create the sweetness and zest they once found in each other. If couples can't enjoy each other, relating to each other can become one more monotonous thing they have to do.
DOD
But in the whirlwind of job responsibilities and pressures, family and social obligations, couples need to find ways to have fun together that 61 easily into their lives. If having fun takes lots of planning, time, energy and money, most people won't bother or will put it off until their annual vacation. Here is a list of what I call "shoestring adventures" for couples "shoestring" because they take httle or no extra time, planrung or money; "adventures" because they lead to the unexpected Let' s begin with a cocpte of "twofers." combirung something we have to do with something fun - like shopping for a trash barrel Following a hand-lettered sign led my wife and me down tree-hned back country roads to Fred the barrel man Along with the barrel,
by THEODORE HENGESBECH we got a charming uute conversation with Fred about his apple and pear trees. Another "two-fer" was dropping our daughter off at her summer job and dnving a few extra nules to park where we took a short walk before returning home. Often on long trips we leave the highway and follow a parallel for 25 miles. \\e get to our destination a httle later but more refreshed and often with something mteresung to remember and discuss, like the homemade cake shop in the out -ofthe-way village where we took a break My wife and I also like to take full advantage of tax-supported services and facilities. ational parks provide outstanding scenery, walking trails and free naturalist programs Recently we went on a two-hour

maintenance enrichment is Marriage maintenance for "preventive marriage," said Jim Stelnitz, It reminds couples to "take time alone together to focus on qualities in the relationship rather than on problems," said Mickey Steinitz. Leaders in Worldwide Marriage Encounter for IO years, the couple also served as its diocesan coordinators, When couples are first dating, Steinitz observed, they "spend a lot of time being together, not doing anything productive," just spending time together. But after marriage "there is always something to be done," he said. Couples can forget how important it is "to block out time to be alone together."

�Education Brief
trial
Having fun together can ennch a marriage by providing couples a chance to tighten their bond of friendslup in easy, relaxed settings. It helps them to create a marital enviroment that can be a continumg source of strength. With a shared
set of happy memories, couples may find themselves more willing to put forth the extra needed to overcome problems.

Running a cattle ranch in close proximity to a wildlife park on the African continent has its drawbacks as Glade Pike ruefully remembers. The lions quickly develop a taste for your livestock and the elephants display scant regard for your new fences. Added to that in the days of Rhodesia's UDI was the danger of attack from terrorists - a threat that finally saw the end of the Pike ranching venture and indirectly led to the death of Glade's father and partner, Bertram. It was a pity it had to
end that way because Glade's forbears on his mother's side had established roots in Rhodesian soil. They were the Burnetts, among the first white sett I rs · n t e country in which th in 1890.
Laurence Glade Pike - he· prefers you to call him by his second Christian name - was born at Umtali in what was Southern Rhodesia on November 12, 1938. He received his primary schooling at the Jesuit-run St George's College in Salisbury (now Harare) and his secondary education at Milton High School in Bulawayo (still Bulawayo). After matriculation he spent four years at Durban University in South Africa to gain a civil engineering degree before joining Rhodesia Railways with which he served for 17 years including postings to
