It has proven to be Emergencies .......341 Mouths of Babes by E. P. Chant Here's a simple little test: name one thing that bas not gone up in price during the last year. One thing - the value of stocks. Everything else has. Everything. From the beginning of time, most men have found it to be very much to their advantage to eat to sustain their life and to provide a break in an otherwise monotonous day. Now man is just barely able to swallow the prices being thrown at him, much less being able to pay them. But it is not only food; it is lodging (you cannot find a good cheap cave anymore for under $40,000) and taxes for these lodgings. Of course, these lines of attack are used over and over, again and again. So, let's look at the good side of inflation - reasons for keeping it around for our own good. (1) Inflation keeps our government busy and out of mischief. (2) Inflation always is ready for an editorialist without a story. (3) If we did not have inflation now, we would just be waiting for it to come along, and most of us hate waiting. (4) Inflation is good for balloons. (5) Inflation keeps us from thinking about pornography (because we can't afford it). (6) Reading reports on infla- tion is good for insomnia. (7) Inflation makes good dinner conversation. (8) You don't have to be rich to experience inflation. (?) (9) If we had deflation instead of inflation, what would we have to complain about. (10) Without inflation, Bob Stanfield.would be more inarticulate than usual. (11) Without inflation, Pierre Trudeau's campaign platform would have been "How to be bald and not really look it?" (12) Without infla- tion, nobody would know or care if you vere dead because they would have been able to pay for the funeral. (13) Without inflation, "rise in prices" would become an overworked term. (14) With- out inflation, Statistics Can- ada would have to go back to scoring bowling. (15) Without inflation. Berle Plumptre would have to go back on old age pension instead of $40,000 a year. (16) Without inflation, we couldn't have price wars. (17) Without inflation, child- ren would not be able to ask why the dollar is worth ninety cénts. (18) Without inflation, we would be happy and contented and we couldn't have that because we have forgotten how. All kidding aside, it is time for government, both sides, to get together and prove that they should have the right to rule over us because they know how. If they cannot do that, well, maybe it's time to get rid of them. BURKETON Mrs. S. Tabb, Bowmanville, visited with Mr. and Mrs. A. Swain and family recently.

She has been performing professionally for 22 years during which time she has appeared on such televison shows as "Luneheon Date", "Here Comes the 70's", and "Drop In". Janis is an Aquarius in her early twenties. Many of be horoscope characteristics show through in her music as clearheaded, independent, humane and strong-willed. But mainly, like many Aquar- ians, she is a true individual. She admires the work of Carol King but does not try to imitate in any way. An exceptionally versatile guitarist, she is able to change from folk to classie in just a flick of a switch. Her voice is quite unique. She may not always bit the right note but it always ends up sounding good. It is hard to place Janis Cramer ina specific category, for she is one all ber own. Songs by John Denver, Elton John Cat Stevens anlthe Beatles are just a few of those you might hear during the night, but in the future she hopes to entertain people with material of ber own. As Janis says, "It's always easy to find the time to write a song, but AnnonceTwïo A duit Tainig Appoinmen ts For Durham College John Woodrow has been consumer affairs columo for appointed Director of Durham the Oshawa Times, College's Adult Training Div- Mrs. Elsie Werry, also of ision.

NewArt Teacher Bringsp Wealth of Energy plus Im glination +0to B.HS by Jean Ahlvik Jane Eccles is enthusiastic about her job. She is the new Head of the Art Department at Bowmanville High School. Although she finds the work load heavy (she has seven classes andapproximately 190 students) she loves the fresh- ness and willingness to learn she finds in her Bowmanville students. Her husband, artist Ron Eccles, commutes twice weekly from their Blackstock farmhouse to Toronto where he teaches at the Ontario College of Art. I watched Mrs. Eccles with a class of 33 grade nine students. She had them divid- ed loto two groups, one working at wall hangings and another doing paper mache fish which would eventually decorate the room as brightly colored mobiles. Dividing into two groups is Mrs. Eccles' concession to practicality. As she explained, 33 adolescents all moving about getting paints and paste, etc., was more than her serenity or facilities could handle., It was very easy to see the enthusiasm she spoke of. As we talked, a steady stream of kids brought up their pro- blems either shyly or proudly pointing to some fantastic creature as "tlieir" work. I asked Mrs. Eccles about the philosophy of teaching art at high school. While freely acknowledging that few, if any, of her students would ever be artists, she pointed out the positive advantages of active expression. She feels that art can help develop self awareness and confidence as well as the more obvious things like a sense of order, excitement in color, and confidence in one's own'taste. Although the program sounds very much a "doing" course, art history is treated in an interesting way. For example, the students are presented with a problem that has been solved in a unique way by a particular school of paintng. She showed me some work where the students had been working on problems first identified by the Egypt- ians. After the students had "solved" the problem in their twentieth century way, they were more appreciative of the Egyptian solution. The first year course intro- duces the mainstream move- ments of modern art. Second year students study Canadian art in some detail, beginning with what Mrs. Eccles calls "The Brown Gravy School" of Kane and Krieghoff and working up to contemporary art. These students have recent- ly taken a day's tour to Kleinburg and Toronto. They visited the McMichael Gai- lery, The Chinese Exhibit, several commercial galleries as well.as boutiques noted for good design in jewellery and fashion. It was an ""art conscious trip rather than an art gallery trip." Third year students concen- trate on the art of Mediterran- ean antiauitv. Late in the vear it's not always easy to find the mood". Abstract painting is one of the many hobbies that Janis enjoys doing when she's not playing in numerous bars in the Toronto area. She taught herself to play guitar by listening to recordings of various artists as she canno.t read or write music. In the near future, she hopes to take some time off for a holiday, start writing her own material again and spend a lot more time with her husband and home. It's a pleasure to listen to this tall, slender brunette as she sits so calmly and majestically on stage. they work on some plaster casting. The senior class (year 4 and 5 combined) again work on modern art. However, their assignments are more individ- ually tailored. The theory is that the mature students have found certain interests and strengths to build on. They do more plaster casting, paint with acrylics on canvas, use light in plastic sculpture' and generally stretch their imag- inations. Their art history begins with Constable and progresses to present day with a smattering of the Primitives and Eastern art thrown in. Philosophically, they try to grapple with the spiritual thinking of Western man as exemplified in his art. Mrs. Eccles limits her own acrylic painting to summer vacations. This past summer she was one of a group of 10 artists who took "Art to the People of Peterborough". Sponsored by an Arts Council grant, they mounted a formal exhibition and were available to teach and discuss art with the residents during one week of the Peterborough Arts and Water Festival. A graduate in fine art from Guelph University, Mrs. Eec- es tci a Bac eior oî rduca- tion at University of Toronto and went on to post graduate study in art at the University of Iowa City, Iowa. The Book thot Makes; Di ference Fatalistic pronouncements are in the air. Statesmen, news analysts, and scientists have donned the garb of prophets of doomsday. Their predictions were underlined when scientists this year turned back the hands of the "doomsday clock' indicating their conviction that mankind dallied on the brink of global holocaust. A popular book is entitled "The Coming Dark Age". More frightening than the predictions is the apparent sense of helplessness and inevitability th-at is in the air. The consensus seems to be that nothing can be done to avert planetary disaster. That fatalism might be justified if men were robots or mechaistic beings incapable of change. In that case, nothing could make a differ- ence. But are we prepared to sit on our hands and accept the inevitability of imminent ex- tinction? Mankind bas faced crises before and has seen deliver- the Book that makes a difference. The historian W.E.H. Lecky and others have contended that the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth centuryx saved England from a bloody rerun of the, French Revolu- tion across the channel. John Wesley, one of the leaders of the revival, described himself as "a man of one Book", and he spread the teachings of the Bible throughout Britain. The Book made a dif- ference. On a smaller scale, a nineteenth century Canadian Presbyterian missionary wit- nessed a similar spiritual transformation. John Geddie went to the South Seas to share the Good News of God with the people of the islands. He translated portions of the Bible into native languages and devoted himself to spread- ing its message. At his death, the islanders reared a monu- ment to him and simply, but eloquently, described the change that had come to their homes: When he landed in 1848 There were no Christians here, And when he left in 1872 There were no heathen. The Book made a dif- ference. Chairman Mao's little Red Book has demonstrated in our own time the power of a book. The Bible, the Book of peace that speaks the message of God to our troubled times, is needed as never before around the world. As people accept its message, society is changed for the better. As decision- makers are touched by its message, the direction of human history is changed. It's a Book that makes a difference.
