Mr. and Mrs. Clare Curtin, Lindsay, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Leishman and boys, Reaboro, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Holland, Newcastle were Saturday evening dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Grahame Fish. 1 talked to a secondary school student who came to sec me because be was planning to quit school. This was a little disturbing because be did not possess tbe typical cbaracteristics of a dropout. Usually a dropout is disinter- ested in school, generally he or she is failing and has a poor attendance record. This boy was just the opposite. He was passing al bis courses and bad passed everything last year. In addition bis -attend- ance bad been good except for the previous few days and be had neyer been involved in any disciplinary situations at school. Wby tben would a young man want to quit scbool when everytbing seemed to be going okay? The real reason in my opinion was that be was overreacting to a problemn he faced. Tbere bad been a disagreement at home and quitting scbool was bis solu- tion. Quitting scbool was only one of several possible solu- tions to the problema but in bis anger and concern it was the only one he could tbink about. Overreaction is probablyý the most common situation ob- served by anyone wbo works with young people. It .is also not rare among adults and inevitably we ail overreact at one time or another. I would define overreaction as the process in wbich an individual responds. to a situation by taking steps which are out of ail proportion to whatever provoked tbem. It's like tbe man wbo couldn't catch two mosquitos that got into bis living room so he fired at tbem witb bis shotgun. Needless to Isay bis response to the problem was a little out of proportion and like most overreactions caused a much greater problemn than be solved, if in fact be even solved it. People overreact for al kinds of.reasons. Frequently their mood causes it. Wben anyone is feeling tired, sick or disappointed tbev are mucb more apt to overreact. Wben a child spilîs bis milk at, dinner, timne be may fînd that no big fuss is made one day, yet another day when bis oarents can't take it they go wild about il. react is that they take action before tbey get the facts. Tbey react on the basis of what tbey heard or saw without finding out what really happened or wby. I tbink of the father who was cut 'ting tbe lawn one day when some children came running to tell hlm that a stranger around the corner had pushed bis son off bis bike and was beating hlm up. The father took off quickly and seeing a man bent over bis son, promptly attacked hlm. Unfortunately tbe man be attacked was the wrong one and was in fact a man who cbased away the bully and was assisting the boy who had been beaten. Overreactions take place ail the time and its very bard to mentally stop and' ensure that enougb facts are available to make a sensible response to a difficult situa- tion. The only thing more difficult to deal witb than a person * overreacting is wben two o. more overreact. One person says sometbing and the other overreacts. This so ankioys the first person that be overreacts and this process goes on until some littie situation bas re- sulted in an almost unsolvable feud. We ail overreact but we must try to keep it under control and de escalate tbe situation wben we recognize it bas bappened. In the scbool situation we endeavour to bave the people involved discuss the problemn and recognize that tbey have allowed it to get out of control. Rarely does this process not meet witb success and its a great learning event that can belp ail persons involved deal witb future problems. ELIZABETH VILLE Churcb services were beld. Rev. W.W. Kennedy brougbt us a message asking, "If you were accused of being a chriýtian would tbere be enougb evidence to convict you? " The choir sang.
