Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Nov. 14, 1973 3 Many Items on Sale at Kiwanis Club Swap Bargain-seekers peruse the goods on sale at the Kiwanis Winter sports Swap nel in the Bowmanville Library on Saturday, November 3rd. Over 250 items, mostly ski or hockey equipment, was registered in the sale but unfortunately a light turnout of buyers kept the club's profits to a bare minimum. Even the fact that two skidoos and an elegant fiberglass sailboat were on sale outside the library didn't help draw in a crowd. One Kiwanis member suggested afterwards that the club may continue with the sports equipment sale in the future, but as a service project to the community rather than a fund-raising effort. by Terry Hawkins One of the geatest charact- eristics of human nature is that we tend to look at the good side of things and not worry about the unattractive part. This is borne out by the fact that when you think of the ast, you tend to think of the appy events and the things you enjoyed. When you meet someone you haven't seen for a long tine, you usually recall the good times you had together rather than your troubles. Fortunately, it seems that our memory does not recall the unpleasant times so vividly. You probably can't recall the pain of a childhood accident nearly as well as the joy of a birthday party. This characteristic of man to remember the pleas- ant and forget the ba dis a great one. Witho ut it we could not survive. This desire for pleasure is also very much with us in the resent. How often do our ooks, movies and TV shows have happy endings? Quite often - because this is some- thing many of us like to observe. And while this may not be the way life really is - it does not mean we can't enjoy ourselves watching this type of story. Sometimes, however, people become so involved with this tye of situation that they actually forget that life is not rosy all the time, and ignore or go around the unpleasant happenings even though they are there - and have to be reckoned with. Applying this to an actual situation, I think you will see what I mean. Take a student who wishes to dro a subject in Secondary School. He's having trouble keeping up with his class. He is not happy with the subject and wants out. It could be any subject at all, but let's say it's Mathematics. Would it be good for him to eliminate the subject that is a drag for him? The answer denends on a number of things. For example, an important consideration would be: Could he still graduate and obtain a Dip- loma if he eliminated this subject? Now let's - say he can graduate without it. Should he drop tThis is a question he might \yell ask his teacher or Guidance Counsellor. But he won't get a "YES" or "NO" answer - only the individual himself can provide the ans- wer, but what he will receive is help tb consider his prob- lem. Before the interview is over, the student's train of thought will have been consid- erine the advantages of his proposed decision and the ifisadvantages and cons- quences - both long and short term. How many vocational careers would he eliminate by dropping Math? If he hasn't considered this, maybe he should. Think of all the jobs he would absolutely eliminate by dropping Math . . . account- ing, most scientific careers, computer work - the list is enormous. What educational situations require this subject as a -pre-requisite for ent- rance? Again the list is vast. He must consider this side of the problem before he can The Iast thing you needfl us an expensive pair of glasses. AT KING OPTICAL GLASSES ARE ONE LOW PRICE!

EAST OSHAWA Phone 728-1261 make a sensible decision. After considering these fact- ors and many others, he and his parents make the decision not the counsellor or teacher -they act as a catalyst. AI] they do is get the person thinking in a logical direction to ensure all aspects and ramifications of the problem are considered. When one has looked at all the aspects of the situation - then one can make a logical decision. All of us get behind and lose interest at one time or another and to make life more pleasant, we some- times chuck it. This can be good -or itcan be bad. There is no sense wrecking your physical or mental health by working on a problem that you cannot hope to master. On the other hand, it is not good business to get in the habit of dropping something every time it gets hard. Our ho e in education is that the problem has been considered and that students will not trade today's problem for an even bigger one at a.later date. The most important point here is that help is available at the school and students do not have to make these major decisions without counsel. O.P.P.

DRIVING TIP "Inattention Causes Collisions" Motorists: Any good driver knows that driving is a serious business and requires your full attendtion every second the car is moving.
