PADDY'S MARKET New and Used Furnhture and Appliances Trade-Ins Accepted on Appiances - Easy Credit Terms Available - Telephone 263-2241 Hampton By Sharon Brittain Today I shall try to remove some of the mystique which bas corne to surround art and artists in general. Many people have corne to view' artists as a certain group of talented beings whose natural ability just flows onto the paper or into dlay. However, nothing could be further from the truth! I would venture to guess, that for the vast majority of artists, the most difficult aspect to overcorne is, to get started in the first place. In. other words, one must break away from the distractions of everyday living and start to work. The old saying, 99 per cent perspiration, 1 per cent inspiration holds true to art also. "What about the 1 per cent înspired individuals"? I can hear you ask now, "Why I can't even draw a straight line! " Looking closely at most pieces of art, you will find, that there are really no straight llnes anywhere! As we discover, the ability to draw a straight lîne then, is not a pre-requisite to the successful study of art! Most adults remernbering school and classes, think in terms of everyone being taught the same thingat the same time with frequent tests to find out what one knows. Teachers of arts or crafts classes deal with each student on an individual basis. This really works out to the student's advantage. The "would be artist" with the least knowledge, with an unluttered mmnd, is able to gather a wealth of information from everyone in the class, rather than having to wait for the teachers ýattention. As in learning ail skills, there is one important pre- requisite! An interest and desire to learn; the ability to ask questions will also be of benefit, but this is not an absolute necessity. In art- classes we are trying to develop ourselves as indivi- duals, re-discover our crea- tive abilities, which are hid- den in everyone to a certain degree. Many students and observers have the idea, that there is a right way and a wrong way to paint or do one's thing. Sometimes individuals rit love to try, however they are afraid, for fear of being wrong or flot being able to learn the right way". Remember one thing! There is very littie, which is dog- matically right or wrong. To be sure, there are certain skills and details in ahl areas, such as how to handie a brush etc. which makes mastery of your craft easier, however, as Turn your bac on ius!

It cannot, be stressed too strongly, that art is for everyone, it's a tonic, a rediscovery of oneself, a happy realization that there are good tbings within every- one of us, just waiting to be brought to the surface and to be sharedwith fellow artists, friends and family, and soon you will find yourself caught up in the joy and excitement of "'seeing things in a whole new way!

He aiso spoke at È,i Federation held in Port Hope Monday, Y, by Beverley Protein and Hair Reconditioning There is hardly a person alive who doesn't envy the individual with a, luxuriously beautiful head of hair. This singular attribute is a universal desire of everyone, both maie and female, regardless of age or station in life. Fortunes are spent, willingly and hopefuily on any product that might .. . just might ... produce the kind and q uality of hair seen in te ads on television and ini magazines. By the same token, these same people sit in the sun for hours, they use home bleaches, home permanents and do numerous other things that could and usually do, cause unsightly damage to the hair. The , proper reconditioning of hair is probably the least understood, yet most necessary and P.preciated service any beauty salon can offer you. The fact that hair is 97% protein assures us that protein and protein alone can help add strength to damaged hair. Proteins form an essential part of our food requirements and are found in ail animai and vegetable matter in one of three classifications. Simple: Composed only of amino acids (building blocks of protein). Conjugated: Simple proteins coni bined with other non-protein type materials in a forni other than Sait. Derived: Proteins obtained by the action of heat, enzymes- or chemicai agents froni naturaily occurring g roeins. In the human ,ody, roteins are not limited to the hair. Our skin contains protein. Hemogiobin, theý materiai in red blood ceils that carnies vitaiiv needed oxygen, is a protein. Insulin, a hormone that controls the proper level of sugar in the biood, is also a protein. Enzymes, such as pepsin and trypsin, break down our food and digest it. Ail enzymes are protein. Proteins protect us froni infec- tion and disease through anti-bodies. Anti-bodies are proteins. We see, hear, touch, taste and smell with the heip of proteins in. nerve celis and the brain which p ermit them to carry these various signais to us. In short, proteins are integraiiy invoived in whatever we do, and are truly the Most important molecules of life.

George Meek said during an interview in Bowmanville ~, last week that in the 1980s S educat;rs will have to con- vince taxpayers that educa- tion is a top priority. And convincing taxpayers ~$ that their dollars should be spent on education might become more difficult because fewer persons willl ~~have any connection with the S school system during the next decade.to5pecntf Forty o4pecetf persons over 18 have no direct connection with the school S system now, Mr. Meek said. '~He added that by 1990 two- thîrds of the population will r'not be connected to the s:hool .nd enrolled in schools. However, Mr. Meek noted nd that with fewer students in the rs'5 classrooms and fewer young people entering the work force, it is important that schools do an even better job of educating in the future. a i Referring to the young people of the 1980s and 90s, Mr. Meek said "You and I are Ss going to be depending on them A a great deal to be the leaders a in our society." o r He added that because of a 1, growing number entering the ranks of the senior citizens, IS these youngl people of the 80s n, and 90s wi carry a heavier * s load on their shoulders. The leTeachers' Federation presi- 1,t 1990s it is estimated that for, air every one person who is iS retired there will be three ot people working. At present there are seven persons work- tre ing for every one person who ,nt is retired. nd Mr. Meek said that good lie communications with the public is one way to keep a taxpayers interested in the iat school system and convinced th that it is a priority. "We're ýve doing a good job in the schools ýp generally," he said. But, he he le led to ids hse eup ein added that it is important to build a public understanding of what is going on in the schools. Communications with the public means getting persons involved ini the educa- tion system whether they are parents of school-age children or not. For example, the public could get involved when adults teach elective courses or when students visit nursing homes and other parts of the com- munity. Mr. Meek, who was visiting education officials and teachers in the Northumber- land and Newcastle Board of Education May 14, also said cutbacks in provincial grants are another concern to the Men Teachers' Federation. He pointed out that in 1975, 62 cents out of every education dollar came from the Province of Ontario. Now, that amount bas been reduced to the point where 51% cents of each dollar is provided by Ontario. "Over four years they have reduced their provincial commitment," Mr. Meek explained and added that "it bas made it very difficult for school boards to plan."> Mr. Meek said the teachers are concerned that school boards will be forced to reduce services because they are receiving less money from the province. "Boards will be pressed to the point where they will either have to cut programs or increase class size," he explained. He added that the most likely option is for school boards to increase the size of classes while keeping most of their special programs intact. Mr. Meek's visit to this area included a speech at the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation dinner in Port Hope. The Federation represents 15,000 men teachers in the province including teachers,' vice principals and consultants. Over 200 members of the association are from the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education. announce that il has IS UNDER Iy rem odeled and we would be happy yone view them. h~ e following services and female residents: Il 'e atmosphere d-private accommodations -<Qm doctor andlor hospital' Sweek supervision ~5813 -Y- Hwy. 35 & 115 At Kirby Corners VANTIQUES - ART- BOOKS "CANADIANA' Paintings By: Maureen Remington, Jessie Siemon Raku & Functional Pottery By Peggy MacKenzie DaiIy 10-5 Closed Tuesdays & Sundays Doris .loberts 8_8 Box 220, Orono BUS. 981'-5476 LOB i MORes. 483-g garden groWoI ANNUALS - PERENNIALS Petunias (20 Varieties) FuitlLineo f Annuel Fiowers Vegetable Plants Tomatoes (15 varleties), Cabbage, Caullflower, Broccoil, Spanlah Onlons, Leeks, Parsley, etc. Fruit Trees - Raspberry Bushes Strawberry Plants, etc. Sandy Loam Topsoil Bring your own containers and d your car .... $2.00 SmaiI trailer ...-. ....... -................ $5.00 Sorry no trucks or deliverles.
