mttt puree editorial page teackem iwtdtej it is good to see the guidance teacher awl the staff at the high school take the bull by the horns over the perplexing and confusing questions which are currently creating so much concern among parents and youth the family life education series which guidance teacher brian skerrett has insugurated at the high school has attracted much interest in town and district and the last discussion on drugs was well attended by all the groups concerned- it would be easy for the staff at the high school to gloss over all the happenings among students as so much poppycock and tum their heads the other wsy the fact they have chosen to become involved in the students problems and offer the benefit of their advice and the experts shows that they are not only involved but concerned about the students under their care we wouldnt doubt that much of the criticism of the teaching profession and its monetary motive would rapidly dissipate if this involvement was universal across the province taxpayers should and would appreciate a teaching profession which made some effort to influence students not only in school hour but beyond payi santa young people are struggling to establish their independence and older people are frustrated by their inability to communicate effectively with them teachers whether they are aware of it or not play a key role in the development of the young although it is sometimes obscured when parents run across someone in the profession who thinks of it as a 9 to 4 job despite the protests young people are looking for solid foundations on which to base then- lives they arent easily fooled they can detect a phoney the proverblsl mile away discussions and meetings are certainly not going to solve all the problems connected with drug abuse and the socalled new morality but they are bringing thcra into the public eye and contributing tome much needed thought it is ridiculous for adults to constantly dwell on prohibitive behaviour when we cant produce both informed opinion and history to back up opinions we are sure that most of the adults and young people who attended the last meeting of the family life education aeries came wy better informed than when tered planning to give someone an expensive gift estate and gift tax changes outlined in last years federal budget make it important for

wise to investigate all the ins and outs of the new changes unless they would prefer to play santa to the government wctk and ieuate the fascination for youth of the life of the hippie and the mounting crime wave which suggests many people want an easy substitute for earning a living are symptoms of a change of values in society there are signs that this value substitution is already accepted practiced and gaining in popularity many people would rather go on the dole than work they sponge on someone elses labor but scorn work as unworthy for themselves scientific advances have freed us from most of the backbreaking toll which used to be the lot of rrost human beings work is easier hours are shorter and pay is better leather prestige slated for the forefront in leatherweor next fall is the wet look more boots and softer textures and colors for both men and women the financial post reports at the same time prices for this prestige fabric the old robber barons who took most of the profits and handed workers crumbs are gone from the scene but the loafer is increasing hes the reverse side of the coin from the old time capitalist he also lives on the fruits of someone elses labor we need to strike a balance between work and leisure if we are every going to create a just society it must not be all work and no leisure neither should it be all leisure and no work individual fulfillment and the survival of civilization depend on the bulk of the people accepting work as not only a means of making a living but as a way to round out their lives will probably go up

rotten wives and do you know why because the mothers of there polentul wives hve moiled them rotten they hsve overprotected them tried unsuccessfully to impose their own dubious taste on them and refused to show their daughters to leim anything practical tike sewing or cooking this is not s blinket condemnation but it certainly applies to many people i know nor must i blame it all on mothers many fathers aid and abet i spesk from experience these middleaged spoilers are driven by several motives most of them were growing up when things were tough all over and they are ruthlessly determined that their kids are going to have all the advantages they couldnt hsve thus we have a plethora of lessons in music ballet figureskating we have the very latest fashions and fads regardless of cost we hsve cars for kids who would be dangerous on a tricycle another motive is fear by shielding their children from lny and all unpleasantness including work they hope to keep them straight and out of the clutches of drugs sex and hippledom more often they drive them into trying something out of sheer boredom with their diet of pablum another reason for the cocoonlike overprotection is love you dont like to see someone you love in trouble whether its emotional financial or legal and a final motive is plain laziness mothers say id rather do it myself than have to nag at her or him so do fathers thus many of the things which middleaged people consider virtues punctuality diligence courtesy cleanliness go by the board but when you have to tell an ibyearold girl to wash her feet theres something wrong my neighbor whose son is at college was wakened early saturday morning by a longdistance collect naturally call from said son his car had collapsed and he wanted to buy another one choking back his natural fury father said he would think it over result he and his wife drove about 300 miles to see the kid audjtet something settled oft the cuffi a woman with horse sense never becomes a nag war knocks the 1 out of glory public opinion is what people think people think some stretch pants have no other choice example two our daughter is at college my wife writes about three tunes a week and her letters consist mostly of do this and dont do that the kid needed winter boots and a winter coat this of course is very unusual in canada and demands urgent action and of course at 18 shes much too young to buy them for herself and of course she might be lonely in that big city with no friends so we drive through 4s0 miles of that fog and rain counting hotel bill tips gas and a couple of dinners out those boots and that coal cost about four times what they should have and then the brat uys she isnt lonely at all thats the only reason i went and i told her so however and despite we had a pleasant weekend dining out we sat beside a young couple he was a czech not long out very smooth very handsome she was a newfoundlander very friendly very open then a sikh indian turban and beard came in and sat nearby looking desperately lonely i asked him over the chef a young czech who was a friend of the other one joined us and said hed like to take my daughter out kim spilled something on her mothers best blouse we adjourned to our hotel room for a couple of pleasant hours the newfy girl asked kim if shes like to share an apartment i wouldnt be surprised if a czech did too my wife worried about the smooth czechs the sikh lost his melancholy dont think ive strayed from my theme our kid is spoiled rotten she cooks like a onearmed paperhanger and couldnt sew two burlap bags together my deepest sympathy is extended to her future husband the acton free press phone 6533010 buimwt nd editor il off oumsisai m tcj tttuhed ajwy ahjwttiw m u uulsw si afton 0u uswbav

its employees these days if you wonder why the boss has been looking at you in a strange manner lately it could mean one of three thing 1 you ue s female and your design b more interesting than the

company is conducting art employee performance appraisal program and the boss is trying to pigeon hole you because you coo like a dove this business of appraising employees is not a new one by any means but the manner in which the personnel officer goes about it la much more scientific than it was few years ago the old method of appraising a new employee consisted of hiring someone and then keeping an eye on them for the first 10 years after a decent interval of two or three more years you could expect a word of commendation from the foreman or the superintendent and a hint that you could aspect to be kept on as a permanent employee if you continued to show the promise exhibited in the probationary period times hsve changed some plants have a continuous stream of employees coming in one door and leaving through another so the appraisal must be more methodical and above all quick and to the point here is how on firm does the hatchet job and we reprint it for the benefit of
