minister was reported ft the daily press as telling group of foung people to rebel he t the high scho co un- magirfetive and dull tnticized the conform- ty demanded by principals what have hair tuts to do with education and generally conducted himself like a university sopho- cre instead of the supposed community der which hi position demands he ended his oration when he was told by some of the youngsters that their parents don t understand them don t lis tan to anything they say by advocating tscussion groups between parents and people when- such statements are made to ng people is it any wonder that today having trouble with our children their difficult adolescent years thank god we went to high school n a teacher s authority was recognized by both students and parents if miss jones told a girl to leave the room and don t come back unt i you get that paint off your face and put on some stockings it was done oh there was griping and some black looks but never did a parent appear to tell miss jones she was destroying her girls selfexpression time for some sense sunday we watched a television pro gram which struck fear in our heart it was a documentary on the effects of lsd a new drug which according to the program is becoming widely used among vwvenity students it apparently causes a state of introver skn and hypnosis is being promoted by an xharvard professor who runs some kind of establishment where young people visit t gain the unusuaj exper ence which the drug engenders it is an even more frightening manrfes on than the easter trips to florida the trouble at california universities where students are resenting alt authority and demanding to run the whole show lves the open rebellion against con vflntion so prevalent today on the one hand we should not get rconcerned for it would be unnatural if youngsters all of a sudden away from and in an exciting new world didn t icfc over a few traces cleanuptime here the weekends fine weather brought out the gardeners in full force everywhere n town one saw people out raking up the winter s debns casting longing looks at their vegetable and flower gardens h is nice to see accumulations of trash disappearing the town is planning to rent a street sweeper and soon the sand lend calcium used for winter control will be disposed of main street had one wash down recently by the town works staff to iget nd of some of the dust we hope all residents will join the cleanup and help make the town a beauty ispot it is particularly important to gather i waste paper bottles and pop carts bits of broken glass which seems always to plague our high school principal had the knack of letting things go ust far enough then clamping down the lid that applied to clo thing hair styles and what have you teen ers today don t need to think they have discovered how many weird and wonderful ways you can spoil natures beauty until the principal stepped in boys at our high school affected corduroy trousers in rain bow colours bell bottoms turtle neck swea tors with ouside braces gaudy suede shoes and when the girls started wearing boys shirts and pants authority descended and put an end to the whole craze as for high schoolers rebell ng at the courses offered and the teaching methods set by the department of education this young minister shows he s st ii wet behind the ears how on earth can boys and girls in their mid teens be expected to know what is good for them academically has he for gotten that a good deal of our schooling is geared to discipline ii s not so much what you are learning as that you must learn it a form of teaching that when one gets out in the world he does not just choose the things he likes and wants to do but must tackle the bor ng unpleasant aspects of his ob with

place last week when russell thompson sold his taxi business to james ross and thomas clapham of toronto the new owners will operate the business under the name of georgetown taxi but when drugs tex and degeneracy replace the relative harrnlessness of rad cal poll tea i theories a bit of drinking pacifist clubs then its time to take a good hard look at where today s world is headed if universit

discipline needed there than is be ng ex amplified a university has much more absolute power than even a high school to discip line its students it can set its rules demand that they be followed and dismiss any person who doesn t want to play by those rules we have royal commissons into almost every aspecof i fe today perhaps the time has arrived for government wh ch pays a good share of un

loose and the our cleanup efforts another thing often overlooked is to keep the space between sidewalk and road tidy grass clipped and free of weeds we have said before that a painting is enhanced by its frame so it is that no matter how attractive your lawns the pic ture canb e spoiled by an unkempt road aide and some stray trash even if t is tech nically not on your property we particularly

very pleasantry suprls- ed at the genuine interest shown to us by people driving by stop ping taking time to encourage us in our vause many people also have ques tioned our cause- as rumours have persisted and will do so until certain issues are straigh tened out the strike that is being car ned on now by the e w bliss employees is not in any way a financial battle with the com pany in my opinion the member ship gave up many many good points to management in trying to reach an agreement we were certified in october and ncgol lations began on nov 3rd the one and only thing that the members would not give up was the union shop looking at it with an eye to the future we could see that if the com pany continued to grow as it had in the laat year by the time our two year contract expi red and we did not have a union shop we would lose everything chiropractor donald a gay dc appointments made daily call tr 73401 30 mill st gaoftfatown house ot commons r resumed its normal

seal of talk has taken place over the cbc and the the pro this hoar haseven days the cbc waa set tfpty parliament in its pre sent form to keep political lnfl aenee out of the broadcasting media it would be terrible have broadcbrtrng policy de pendent on whichever political party was in power the parlia ment cannot and should not in terfere- with the programming of cbc who in fact run their own affairs the house of com mona has a standing committee on broadcasting and this has begun sittings on this problem we tried and worked so hard for minister of trade and com merce mr winters recently sent letters to all american firms in canada asking them to con tinue in the good will of man agement and business what amazes me is that this american firm which has many branches and their head office in the usa the majority of them unionized and working with contracts would start ap here and deprive us the rights of a union which their own people have and flagrantly and openly defy our labour rcla tions act then have everyone believe we are trying y hit them out of business by hold ing thorn up financially this was by no means a split decision by secret ballot 99 per cent of the members favoured this action gratefully olga murden member of local 876 chiropractor garald w corbett dc open dally by appotntmtnt house calls arranged 1776631 11a main st north me mandersonqc

problem not only the problem of this hour has seven days but into the problem generally between management and programmers- hv it seems probable that the cbc mr cowan in the mail bag which covers the news will it self be the main item of news for the length of time of these hearings it does seem ironic to me that the programme id ques tion which was often unkind to say the least to parliament finds itself before a parliament ary committee for hearing and justice it also is ironic that the broadcasting media which has often applauded the actions of the honourable member of yorkhumber mr ralph cow an her finds themselves on receiving end of these actions this home of commons com mittee met on thursday morn ing and wanted to meet again m the afternoon hut this re quired unanimous
