First Year May Be The Toughest, But Mass Marriage Participants, Are Still Voting For Matrimony
M. StOrk Bringing Babies By Score To Montreal Couples
BY A. w. O'BRIEN NEA Special Correspondent

Montreal, = One year ago 105 couples knelt before 105 priests in the sundrenched Montreal baseball stadium and repeated the French equivalent of T do" while 10000 persons looked on.
 The first mass marriage on this continent, 1t was designed to off, set "the unfavorable publicity mar riage is getting in the worlds di- vorce courts" While the crowd cheered and a borrowed church bell pealed, the 105 couples walked arm-in-arm across a red and blue carpet to repeat the mar riage VOWS simultaneously.
 M. STORK
 BUSY
 Well, year has passed and the couples celebrate their first anniv- ersary July g. How are they get- ting on? Have they survived that perilous first year? How many deaths? How many divorces? How many babies?
 Monsieur Stork has been busy indeed. He has visited or is about to visit TT of the 105 couples, ac- cording to a report on the mass marriage just issued by the spon- soring agency, Juennesse Ouvriere Catholique (Young Catholic Workers).
 Twenty couples have already welcomed their first arrivals 57 more are expecting" Death, too, has touched the par- ticipants.
 One of the husbands, M. Paradis of Montreal, died only a month after the ceremony. He was ill for some time before the wedding day, and there was speculation about ihs being able to attend. He left before the benediction, returned >to his sick bed. 1 One of the wives, Mime. Man seau of Three Rivers, also died - the result of bearing baby pre- maturely.
 A set of twins were the first births recorded to participants in the mass marriage, coming last Feb. II to M. and Mime. Gaston Jarry of Verdun, Que. But the births were premature and the | twins died.
 First baby that lived was the child of M. and Mime. Elphege Lefebvre of Drummondville, Que Of the 1O4 husbands living. 91 are currently employed. One of these, according to unofficial reports, may have been a casualty in the brief sojourn of the Canadian First Divi- sion in France. Thirteen of the wives are work ing.
 All of the couples were asked, Are you satisfied with your pres ent salary?" in the survey ques- ticnnaire. The answer was "Oui" in 86 cases.

couples now intact are "very happy"
 Rev. Henri Roy, Jocist founder and organizer of the mass mar riage, gave the couples an exhaus- tive one-year course on the spir- itual psychological, and medical as- poets of marriage before the wed- ding.
 The ceremony was a combina- ton of modernism with the thou- sand-year-old rites of the church.
 Loudspeakers carried the ser mon of Archbishop Georges Gau- thier to the 10000 spectators in the stadium. Of that number 15,000 were dressed in the simple uniform of the Jocists.
 The young men wore white shirts, blue berets, blue trousers; the girls, blue skirts and white blouses.
 One "key couple" Henri and Therese Seguin = unrelated, ai- though they had the same sur- name-knelt before the archbishop and took the VOWS over the loud- speaker system. The other 104 couples made their VOWS to 104 priests standing in front of the kneeling stools that formed a huge semi-circle around the altar. Father Roy said the mass.
 Before the ceremony, the couples attended Holy Communion and later wedding breakfast. A fleet of 105 new autos whisked the pro- cession to the stadium.
 Each bride was presented a rosary blessed by the Pope, and each bridegroom with a crucifix similarly blessed. The brides all wore white wedding dresses and carried bouquets of lilies or pale roses. Their mates wore dark hllSineSS SllitS

 So you toured New England, We've done that before, This year we saw Grand Canyon A place you'd adore. Then we hit for the coast And headed up north, Oregon, Washington, Vancouver, Alaska and so forth. We slept heath the redwoods, We swan in Lake Louise, We saw so many mountains We were dreaming of trees. Then back across Canada Around mountain peaks the car craWls, At last into open spaces Till we reach Niagara Falls. Oh, the miles that we went The fish that we caught The grand scenery we saw, The souvenirs we bought! So you toured New England, Saw Green mountains and White, That's very nice, of course, But the Rockies good night!
