Peggy Thatcher is a diplomat married to a politician.

“I will never argue about politics." says the wife of Saskatchewan's Liberal prem fer, Ross Thatcher

“T like people and I don't eare what their political views

are. I fee] everyone is entitled’

to his own beliefs and it isn't up to me to change his way of thinking."’

But being diplomatic about the subject doesn’t mean she isn't fnterested in politics.

Mrs. Thatcher goes along on some election campaign trips and appears at party functions She has often been a spectator in the legislative gallery. And there are no restrictions on political talkin «the privacy of her family

She concedes that despite ef. forts to continue the same sort of pace as before her husband was elected premier last April, things have changed. WAITS IN LINE

“T have no idea what his schedule will be now that he’s premier. When I want to see him I have to take my place in line behind the others.”

It wasn’t like that a .little More than a year ago. when

“Yes, I believe I heard’ the wife mention that.”

“That would be a happy re- union, wouldn't it?” we said. | ““Now between ourselves, did young Mrs. H.’s baby arrive?’ we inquired at a thought. ‘Not yet. Unless it came last night. The next storm’’ he smiled, ‘‘is likely to bring it.”

A native of Worthing, Kent, England, the former McNaughton came to

of high school when she met Ross Thatcher.

They were married in 1938 and their only son, Colin, now manages the ranch west Moose Jaw. Father and son, a graduate. of agriculture from Iowa University, are interested in life on the ranch, where they raise purebred cattle, but it holds little attraction for Mrs. Thatcher. Her idea of outdoors ; pleasure. is bird-watching. TRYING PERIOD

One of the most trying pe- riods for her was in 1955 when Mr. Thatcher resigned from the CCF and subsequently joined ithe Liberals. She said she felt |the animosity of some of his |former colleagues.

“People phoning the house and that sort of thing—that is the part of politics I don't like. When Mr. Thatcher resigned, I jsaw the hatred. It can be aw-

At home she likes to relax to) glassical music.

Her preference for green can be seen in the decor of the) family home where she makes liberal use of the shade.

She has no particular leaning in furniture but collects an- tiques which can be seen! throughout the house. |

Mrs. Thatcher prefers small, | intimate gatherings to large-| scale parties and tries to keep them to less than 15 persons.
