Mrs Milne s brother C Roberts of Vancouver was unable to attend because of ill health The Presbyterian young ladies Twilight Group catered to the tea to which guests came from Toronto Michigan Hamilton Guelph and surrounding parts and also News and views by LORRAINE There a great deal of talk these days about how today children s pituitary glands arc functioning earlier and that young 12 year olds arc sexually more advanced than their adult counterparts were at the same age Consequently we arc to understand that this modern early teendating routine is only be accepted as a natural healthy development 1 wonder then if by the process of relativity we cannot safely assume that the pituitary glands of the parents of these children are regressing at the same rate so that acting on brain motivation hey are breaking down thinking processes In their functioning condition they arc letting good disciplinary sense fly out the window because it s much easier to be permissive than to coolly say New church liturgy described to CWL The and Saunders with table selling and L meeting was held floral arrangement instruction informally at the home of Mrs and furniture arranging only

success Gracous Living Pf presentation by the Toronto iL Bums Corporation which had S been set for March 30 under the culminated a may of Mrs Marjory good fellowship type meeting Said a young 16year old recently who would be better qualified to state the view of his peers All my friends act as if they want adults to let them do us they wish but we vc discussed the Tact that we d really rather have limits of participation laid out for us We like to have discipline because it not only gives us something to beef about and take our frustrations out on but also it gives us an out if we want to keep away from situations and don t want to make like chicken Now 1 think it great that all these little gizzmos arc functioning so well and cfficicnty frankly the wonder to me is that any human organ is working properly at all if the pollution predictions arc correct However if any adult is not too ancient to think back a few years we can remember our own little boy girl flirtations and interests sometimes as early as nine years old Only our parents t as pituitary conscious as we today and they just chuckle it off as gib win pains By many of the kids were still enjoying G 1 T and Girl Guide hikes always hopeful that there be a chance of meeting up with a boy scout pack along the way but it wasn t a dire necessity Children who were to go to a Saturday afternoon show with boys to smooch in the back rows were the ones whose parents had to work or had other things to do than raise children But it was all there even back in those dark ages and the chances were just about the same that by 16 those same girls and boys would be hitched up and raising own little lesponsibihtics So things really haven t changed too much Since medical science been able to find any more glands functioning in girls or boys today that wcren there even thousands of years ago it a safe bet that it isn really the kids maturing faster today but the parents just think they are and rather than ask the children they simply accept what Mrs So and So or Dr Such and Such has been telling them without asserting their own brain processes enough to say Prove it So far there seems to be a great trend towards generalizations Remarks and statements covering vast fields of youngsters rather than recognizing individual kids of whom there are just as many Who says that all pituitary glands arc working so early There is a terrific rash of so called knowledgeable people these days who are in actuality what could be termed as It is a known fact that once you promote ideas which are often excuses for our own inadequacies many people will apply them to their code of living because it easier Consequently we arc in danger of allowing our children permissiveness and pushing them at too early an age into an adulthood for which they are not ready Sad hide girls and boys not allowed lo enjoy their short childhood years anymore because brilliant people have said that their glands are all speeded up Rush push push and the poor kids be courting each other in the hospital nurseries and the nurses will have to be teaching the young parents how to look after their babies at home while teaching the infants in the cribs lessons about sex control Silly isn t if For my part I think it just a case of the pendulum swinging too far one way and will just as assuredly start swinging back and it will be when this present generation of free thinking revolutionists grow up and have offspring of their own Then you really wilt see hard core discipline with tough core rules ROCKWOOD MILL END STORE MAIN ST
