The new guideline, have no role to plav." designed primarily for grade 11 and 12 students stresses six topics: human families, sex- uality, values and valuing, consumer health, venereal disease and stress. Mr. Wells said that he realizes that topies that make up a well-rounded health education program are often considered hot topics. "Often the mere mention of the term sex education in schools causes many peonle to worrv. MAPLE GROVE 1st Maple Grove Cubs On Saturday, May 10th we had gur Trees for Canada 1975 day.

By all means, parents should dia- logue with their teenagers about these things that so directly affect their life. If every parent did so, everyone might be better off. Certainly things would be easier for the schools. But it doesn't work out that way, unfortunately. Most of our young people are clearly in need of more sound information and perspective than they are receiving at home," Mr. Wells said. Mr. Wells said the whole subject area "can be a sea of sensitivity." The guideline, he said, stresses the need for taste, discretion and sensitiv- ity on the part of teachers when dealing with specific topics in the areas of human families, sexuality, venereal disease and human growth and development. Teachers should introduce such topics carefully and deal with them only in the context of a well planned program. The school's department head, principal, supervisory officers and par- ents must be made aware of the course content and its purpose, Mr. Wells said. The guideline also suggests the continued study of other health related subjects, in- cluding alcohol and other drugs. The physical education sec- tion of the guideline emdpha- sizes activities that students may continue to pursue after leaving school such as golf, tennis, archery, badminton, curling, swimming and camp- ing. The traditional secondary school team sports are also included. "I as Minister, and the Ministry of Education as a whole, attach a very high priority to physical and health education in our schools. Few areas within our education system can have, potentially, as lasting and beneficial an effect on our young people," Mr. Wells said.

Oshawa Bowmanville Phone 579-1242 Phone 623-4477 Albert Buma, a pressman in the pump parts department, at Bowmanville plant, gave away some of his "old blood" for the first time recently and felt better for it. For Jim Murphy, of the same plant, giving away old blood is old hat. He's done it 37 times. "I'd been thinking about doing it for a while," said Buma, '"mostly because I wanted to help save a life. People had told me I'd feel better if I got rid of some of my old blood. I felt better alright, but it was in my mind, I didn't feel any better physically." Murphy, who has been with Goodyear since 1950, recalls giving his first blood. "It was about 1958 and my supervisor asked me if I'd mmd giving to one of the men who worked here and was pretty sick. I'd never done it before, but I said 'sure'. Since then I've given jst about every chance I've had." Buma, a five-year man at Bowmanville, said he would give now every chance he got. "There was nothing to it. I thought it would take longer, but I was only there for about half an hour." Murphy says he went to a movie after his first donation and promptly fell asleep. "I woke up when it was over," he said. "I don't know whether it was from giving blood or whether I was just tired, but I'd never fallen asleep like that before. Both men feel that if they should need blood some day, they want to be sure they pay their debt ... beforehand. -Wingfoot Clan Durham College Announces Scholarship Winners for '75 Margaret Romano of San- ford Side Road, R.R. 1 Uxbridge, is Durham's top student fqr 1975.

Todays Education Improved Over The Years Are today's young people as well educated as we parents were, back when we were in school years ago? Ontario's Education Minis- ter Thomas Wells thinks so, and he .says it strongly: "Education in Ontario today is superior to anything we ever enjoyed in the past, and you only have to look, at our young people to prove it." "Compared to when most of we parents were in school, I'm convinced that, taken as a group, our youth are today more articulate, more aware and just plain smarter." "They have more depth, more background and more hard knowledge. They can think better, reason better, make decisions better, and learn better. They are more self- confident and more adaptable. They are more aware of their country, their relationships with others, and their place in the world," Mr. Wells said. The Mînister says that the foundation of education lies in the early grades, where child- ren must get a solid grounding in the basic skills. The new curriculum policy for Ont- ario's elementary schools "stresses beyond any shadow of doubt" the over-riding importance of the basics in our schools, he says. "Over recent years, our schools have been doing a good job. It amazes me that it is always the criticism that is played up, when so much of the evidence points the other way," he said in a speech marking Education Week. . Includes home installation. .
