Letters to the Editor THE HERALD November 1IT4 Page Grade 13 may serve a purpose To the Editor of the Herald Sir One of the first things that the attention of high school students entering university for the first Is the similarity between first year university courses and the Grade 13 program Material that has been covered in Grade Is taught again with only a minimum of new idea- being presented Not until late In the first term does new work ap pear In any quantity Indeed many students have eipreaaed the opinion that the of already material u both unnecessary and In this light Grade can be seen to be in necessary part of jthe educational system and light It most certainly is There Is however another view of this situation which shows Grade 13 to be an In dispensable part of our educational system Consider University fresh men are struck not similarities between their new and their former institutions of learning but with differences as well Each change of en vlronment has a profound effect upon the student who must analyse his new situation and adapt to it The most important change that will be noticed one which Impedes the progress of the largest number of students Is the change in the routine of study In high school where timetables are based on a dally e the student attends from morning to afternoon learning new material and working on assignments Homework Is done after the school day and in the twohour period of unscheduled classes A very similar method of study has been followed from elementary school and by the time the student reaches his last high school year it has become an effortless and automatic procedure When he enters university the student finds that have changed A timetable is designed around a weekly Classes can be scheduled from early morning to late in the afternoon or into the early evening No class lime is allotted for working on assignments lectures are a continuous presentation of rele vent material As a result the numerous and lengthy assignments cannot be completed in any thoroughness during the few evening hours that are frequently spent In ex activities and attending a few of the abundant social functions Much of the students work must be done Siewartiown The regular November meeting of Women Institute was held at the home of Mr and Mrs Robert Thomas on Thursday evening Nov 14 The roll call was answered with A Method I Use to Relieve Tension The evening bingo held In the Community Hall was a new venture for the In a ladies However the organizing committees report showed a most successful evening and many of thosWffho attended expressed their delight Road construction through came under discussion and several ex pressed concern regarding the approach from the old road to the new road

will exercise caution to prevent accidents A regular donation was made to the Poppy Fund and plans vere made for the program and for an exchange of guts at the Christmas meeting A brisk auction sale added to the treasury funds and mem left for home happy with purchases Mrs assisted the hostess in serving lunch A social half hour was enjoyed By Grant between classes during un scheduled periods For a student who is used to working almost continuously throughout each nigh school day and enjoying the Infrequent periods of relaxation there is a tendency to over enjoy the breaks in university and the three to four hours of free time during a day become three to four hours of waited time The adoption of a new routine consists mainly of developing new personal priorities ana the system of time allocation that goes along with them A student who has been subjected to the public school high school study routine Is In for a shock when he discovers that his former methods of learning must be greatly modified or totally discarded He needs time to examine his abilities and employ all his acquired knowledge and adaptive power to create and put into effect a new method of learning that will work for him In his new environment The overlapping of the Grade 13 and first year university courses can provide the student with the time that he needs to straighten himself out before going on to further his education concentrate his efforts on getting himself reorganized without seriously harming his marks If he gels behind his work because he has not yet found an efficient routine he can easily catch up when he sorts out his problems by relying on the knowledge he acquired in Grade 13 to carry him through the review material and concentrate on learning the new aspects and applications that have been CLUB The Georgetown Optimist Club honored the Candystrlpers of Georgetown Di Hospital at a special dinner held last Tuesday LieutenantGovernor of Optimists In tematlonal made presentation of a plaque to the two girls chosen to represent the town s Candystrlpers Continued from page Chuck left Mrs Marion Booth convenor Wendy Buskill Mrs Maureen Bewley assistant convenor and Optimist President Jim Halstead enjoyed the evening presented As the term progresses the new student at university is expected to become familiar with the new routine fairly rapidly Soon after the Initial weeks of familiar work are completed new material comes to occupy an ln- of lecture time until finally the course consists of entirely new work For the student who has mistakenly assumed that his first year at university was going to continue to be a facile review and has not taken time to adjust to his new en vlronment and adopt the new routine the going becomes rough at this point He will find himself in a situation as difficult to handle as the one he would have faced had he been subjected to new work from the beginning He must change his entire routine of study and at the same time learn the new Ideas and con cepta being taught Many students faced with this extremely difficult task drop their courses to avoid falling promising themselves that Thus It Is Important that students realize that the period of review Is also a period of adjustment and reorganization and Is something of which he should take the utmost ad vantage As a former student of Georgetown District High School I hope that this letter will help to Inform the unenlightened students in Georgetown of what to expect when they make their decision to continue their education past the high school level I also hope that those who think Grade 13 should be eliminated will give some consideration to the opinions I have expressed here TRIPLETS One Two and Three Over so people gathered at the home of Ron

was wrong In thinking the exhibitionist might have tried to rape her Your remarks about exhibitionists being passive and harmless are correctas far as they gobut they dont go far enough Innumerable studies of sex offenders have shown that exhibitionism nearly always a phase In their progression to more serious offenses Typically they begin as Peeping Toms Then they move Larry Bui bey College of

government Into a Si million business got on the nerves of some Georgetown businessmen last Wednesday night at the Chamber of Commerces fall dinner meeting But getting on peoples nerves Is not unusual for Bulloch Hes made a business of that too Mr Bulloch Is the president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business Thenon- organization was formed the fall of 1971 to act as the permanent voice of the Canadian businessman farmer and professional The stimulation behind its birth was the federal governments doomed White Paper on Taxation Mr Bulloch a teacher at In at that time became very Involved in the fight against the white paper With success achieved Mr decided to continue the battle on the federal level acting as a spokesman for small Independent businesses across Canada The federation has grown to the point now where It has a membership of and a staff of headed by Mr Bulloch There are ap proximately BO members In the Georgetown area Members pay anywhere from to annually for voting mem bershlp In the federation For that they receive nine times a year Mandate a four page public relationspublic opinion dealing with the current cam The federation is strictly political said Mr Bulloch who went on to note Actually this bit about political parties Is strictly a myth If you look at the platforms of the Liberals Conservatives and you I know there were any I differences between the three This country by definition Is an economic abortion Only a drunk could have put this country together the way it has been Provincial parties were no different in Mr Bullochs opinion The provincial governments are like a big octopus having con vulsion The provincial accuse the government of a con piracy against them Yet we all know that they couldnt pull Curling executive Andre Wolder Harold Martin Bill and Roger It off even If they knew how to of objective They re totally Incapable of co- Ottawa said Mr Bulloch or meeting any kind would be a beautiful place to lease to India for a nuclear test site The fault for that however he added did not lie with the individual MPs but Instead with the size of government today The federal govern fsso big today MPs have a difficult time getting a bead on if Looking at the financial situation today Mr Bulloch predicted a recession Theres really nothing we can do about it he said unless the federal government is made more effective In ope rati areas could be severed for one or two houses which would help the assessment in the rural The one recommendation which McKenzie strongly opposes states the region will continue investigating alternative means of servicing the central and northern ser vicing area and until con elusions are reached no major works will be undertaken on sewage treatment plants In the urban areas of Milton Acton and Georgetown Coun McKenzie said this could mean the region can block any attempts to expand the sewage tretment plants If problems occurred It seems as if the region is trying to direct as much development as possible to Oakvllle and Burlington he continued Theyve put as many roadblocks as they can to prevent development In Milton and Halton Hi lis on to something like underwear fetishism they steal lingerie from clotheslines then graduate to exhibitionism When this palls it is but a short step to tentative then overt attempts at forcible physical contact with the female vie tims Panic and fear provoked by resistance all too often result In murder fortunately there Is no sure way to know when the exhibitionist is about to progress from passive to aggressive behavior To women who find themselves confronted by an exhibitionist I would offer the following advice 1 Get away from the man quickly as possible Do NOl speak a word Never get Into a verbal exchange with him If you cant get away or If he follows you scream as loudly as possible Basically the exhibitionist Is a coward If a woman screams he will almost always run for his life 3 Report the incident to the police without delay They may be able to put him out of cir culation for a while Thank you for letting me speak my piece A G NY Reader Dear A G Thank YOU for GEORGETOWN DECORATING CENTRE

average couple of MA degrees and a In the crowd One woman said she had read in a reliable medical journal about a new theory of fer tilization whereby If a woman has sexual relations with two different men within on eight- hour period they can both be the father of her child In other words the sperms mix and act as one The child would then of course have the genes of both men It seems logical yet I have my doubts I remember reading in your column that it Is possible for twins to be fathered by separate males If so this theory seems plausible Inqufsltlve Dear In Wrong The win theory
