Dislike Surprise Visits Even 'Dear Ann Landers: Recently I read a letter in your column from a woman pho resented visits from her lergyman. I suspect that letter was written by a member of my rish. « I wonder how the apostles and the disciples and the clergymen who followed them for 1800 years let members of their were going to no phones in those days. The woman who complained would probably ex- pect the Lord Jesus Christ to ive her a ring in advance.-- flock know the call. They hai t. Louis Cle rgyman Dear Saint: I received dozens of letters from clergymen of all faiths who were unhappy be- cause I supported the writer's notion that clergymen should not drop in unexpectedly. Hun- dreds of other women wrote to tell me they loved the advice and thanked me for it. So it boils down to this: Many clergy- men prefer to drop in without first calling but the pvomen don't like it. Dear Ann Landers: resence of her 12-year-old son ler attitude was a healthy one --that the human body is beau-| ;, tiful and that children should not grow up hiding themselves made because their parents them ashamed. : According to the mother's let- ter a friend criticized her and then you sided with him, saying that a 12-year-old boy is well on his way to manhood. Then you dragged in that ugly word se- duction. Only an evil mind From Clergymen Dear No Fig: You don't indi- cate whether you are married or single. If you are married I hope you don't have daughters. Robert Louis Stevenson was when he wrote, "We all have feelings that would shame hell." The experts tell us that sexual fantasies begin long before pu- berty, and an active imagina- tion has no regard for propriety, cultural taboos or anything else. Parents should not parade nude before children who have reached the age"of six.

Introduced by Mr. David Con- way, the guest speaker began by listing the reason given by students in a recent Secondary School Survey for dropping out. (1) Relation to School, Econ- omics, (2), (3) Personal, (4) a small percentage had no spe- cific reason. With the coming of Automation, 70 per cent of jobs require Grade 12 education. The Department of Education has installed a reorganization program with courses to suit the students' ability. Five year courses for the above average, four year courses for the aver- age ability and two year cour- ses for the below average, which gave the student a chance to learn a marketable skill, enab- ling him to sequre a position. Some parents were to blame for drop outs by keeping a stu- dent in a course that was too difficult for his ability. Let him achieve what he could and en- courage him by giving him a pat on the back occasionally. Was it so difficult for parents to take time and spend one night a week with their child- ren?

Mr. Ross warned the parents about children riding double on bicycles. It was a dangerous practice and against the law. He also mentioned the School would hold Open House March 7.
