"KNOW CANADA" Folk School To Promote' Native Arts and Culture Last month a, widely-discussed article appeared in a Canadian magazine in which the anonymous writer strongly condemned life in a small town with its supposed lack of educational advantages and total disregard of any cultural en- terprises. The writer wanted 'high-tail' it back to the city. bviolisly he had not heard of community activities such as the annual Ontario County Folk School which is being held next Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- Ham Lawson at Greenwood. Culture? Discussion? Craft Training? Poetry, Photography? Music? Recreation? Here all of them will be found in plenty. A European idea, the Folk School is just now catching on in Canada.

Mayor Talks On Education The regular monthly meeting of the Brock Street Home and School Club was held in the school Tues- day night. The meeting opened with the singing of "O Canada', Mrs. A. Harkness at the piano. Two min utes' silence was observed in hon- or of the late Queen Mary. This was followed by the Lord's Prayer. Due to a lengthy program of entertainment the business portion of the meeting was brief, dealing with a Field Day for tht pupils in June and a Home Baking Sale. Dates for both will be announced in the near future. Albert Edwards then took over as President and expressed his ap- preciation at having the honor of doing so, as it was the first time in the long history of the school that the circumstances were thus. A very humorous and side-split- ting skit, "I Went to Your Wed- ding"', was presented by Mr. Bill Hill and his troop of Rover Scouts. They were assisted by Eric Lat- robe, Blake McCoy, Hugh Perry and John Harkness. The wedding guests were escorted in by Don Gillchrist. Mr. Edwards then introduced the guest speaker, Mayor Jermyn, who stated that his visit brought back happy memories of some 20 years ago when he taught at Brock 'Street School for four years. He was pleased to see in the audience people like Gaynour Whitney and John Harkness. Mr, Jermyn com- mented on the education standards of today and those of 20 to 40 years ago. Mr. Jermyn stated that the aims of education should be: a good citizen, a pupil should be taught that he has a part to play in his country. He should be open- minded, respect the moral laws of his country, and safety of his fel- lowmen, and that he should go out and vote, The Mayor stated that in the middle thirties, a famous educa- tionalist introduced a system of teaching which was anything but beneficial. For example, arithme- tic was taught by painting piec- tures. The result of this system was that all discipline was lost. Abstract t hinking could not be taught by acting. Mayor Jermyn claimed that 60 per cent of all Canadians get their education in elementary schools and they are not afraid to work. But the system of higher educa- tion makes one shiftless and lazy. The system certainly has tobe revised. 1 His Worship went on to say that the* young people of today live on canned music and blood and thun- der comic books. He pointed out the serious effects it has on the INSULATE YOUR HOUSE NOW FOR winter with PAL-O-PAK loose fill. Chea and better, Free estimates. Made In Whitby. Phone 2374, Whitby (Apra2) young ple.

To be (to Probation Plan May Cut Crime TORONTO (CP)--Reforms Min- ister Foote said Monday night he opes soon to have an improved probation system in Ontario which will help law-breakers to mend their ways without sending them to prison. He said in an address prepared for brodacast over a Ontario network in a free-time political series that a study of British ex- perience has shown availability of a full probation service contributes to keeping down the prison popu- lation. "I hope that we may shortly have a probation system in On- tario which will rehabilitate many offenders in civilian life without the necessty of them being com- mitted to institutions," he said. LIVELY CENTENARIAN KELWOOD, Man. (CP)--Andrew McCutcheon celebrated. his 101st birthday by doing a lively step- dance for his friends and relatives. Native of Arthur, Ont., he came to Manitoba in 1896 and has been a resident of this town for 17 years. In the last few years child de- linquency has increased a thous- and-fold. The cost to the province is tre- mendous for the upkeep of juvenile courts and homes for delinquents. His Worship stated that Dr. Dun- lap was revising the system and the trend was towards days of old. Home and School clubs could cer- tainly give assistance. Individuals collectively can do something about it. Children should *be en- couraged to make their own way; should be capable of entertaining themselves and not be bored stiff when they have already seen the show or heard all the records and read all the comic books in wn. . Children should be taught music. His Worship recalled that one time there were seven music teachers in town and all kept busy, but at the present there was only one and that one only taught part- time. Children should be . taught dramatics, not especially during school hours but on their own time. Encourage them to do some- | thing for themselves and be able to provide their own entertainment. In closing, Mr, Jermyn stated, "that to be eternally giving, you weaken the person to whom you are giving". 4 Seymour Whitney at this time thanked Mayor Jermyn for the fine message that he had present- ed to the Home and School club. Lou Pritchard showed two fine films, "Pete the Piper" and "Fishing across Canada'. A lovely and appetizing lunch was served. accomplish the new arena with DOWN TO BRASS TACKS ROBT.

Method of the survey will be to obtain preliminary financial pledges from 50 citizens. If a certain total is met in this survey, the Board is confident that the. $100,000 project can be accomplished. If not, it is pro- posed to raise money immediately for an ice plant which would be installed in the present arena, to be operating by next November. The plan for a new rink would not be abandoned in any event, but merely deferred until it appears to be financially possible. At the first meeting of the Board, it was clear that the bulk of public support favors an entire new pro- ject. The question to be settled now is simply whether or not citizens are ready and willing to pay for what they are demanding. Present at the last Board meet- ing were: F. J, McIntyre, chair- man; Mayor Harry Jermyn, Judge F. J. MacRae, Go Mahon, D. J. Cuddy, QC, Morrison, Norman Irwin, bers of the Board, and Corbett, representing The Gazette. » n Mo A.
