At School Advisory Committee Parents Discuss Discipline Methods of discipline were one of the topics of discussion at a recent meeting of the Newcastle Public School parent advisory committee. Principal Ed Taylor ex- plained to the 15 parents who attended the meeting that he uses a discipline card system at the school. Each time a student seriously misbehaves, his narne along with a descrip- tion of the offence and actions taken are written on a card. When a student's name ap- pears three times on one of these cards, his parents are contacted. They are informed of why the student is being punished and what the nature of the punishment will be. Mr. Taylor said he has found it necessary to keep these car- ds because parents don't often believe these things about their children. The cards are a form of detailed proof. Mr. Taylor said he does use the strap but has done so only once this year. The Ministry of Education and the Northum- berland and Newcastle Board of Education guidelines state that a principal may use the strap at his own discretion but must notify the student's parents first. Things like continual disobedience and outright rudeness to a teacher bring on strapping, said Mr. Taylor. They tend to upset the whole tone of learning. Strapping is usually a last resort and only done if the principal believes it will do the student some good. Parent Trudi Reid ex- plained why she does not agree with strapping a student no matter how serious the of- fence. In society today, she said, we are taught that violence is not tolerated and children learn social behaviour by exposure. Strapping, she argued, is a form of physical violence. "How can you expect children to grow up and not fight other people if you use physical violence in the school?" Mrs. Reid also said she does not like the idea of children learning in an atmosphere of fear. "Every child knows the threat of the strap is hanging over his head". Vice-principal Bob Tren- num agreed he would not want his children learning in an at- mosphere of fear but added that if children know fairness is exercised in the school, that they can talk to the teachers, and can have fun and react with other children. "I don't think the fact that someone in the school is strapped will necessarily create an at- mosphere of fear." The value of assigning lines to a student as a disciplinary measure was questioned by parents. One parent called the exercise a "totally non- productive waste of energy." He suggested that rather than giving a student lines to write for punishment, the teacher should assign him an exercise in some subject in which he is not doing well. Most of the other parents agreed with this idea. A Message From Ministerial Association You Are My Valentine By Rev. Anthony De Jager February 14 is Valentine's Day. Do you, know how Valen- tine's Day began? The story goes that at the time when christians were persecuted in the roman empire, a priest named Valentine was im- prisioned. While in prison he performed a miracle by restoring sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Before he was beheaded on February 14, 270, he sent the girl a farewell, pinpricked on the heart-shaped leaves of violets growing by his cell: "De The Expropriations Act Vanentino tuo" ("from your Valentine"). I am not in a position to guarantee the historical ac- curacy of this story. This is certain, however, that Valentine's Day speaks of love, love between boys and girls, men and women. Valen- tine's Day is a love- celebration, and as such it is a day we need, because the message of love and the reality of human love is what life makes worth living. It is with love as it is with the weather: everybody talks about it. In the meantime we live in a world in which anger NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO EXPROPRIATE LAND IN THE MATTER of an application by Ontario Hydro for approval to expropriate land in the Township of Darlington now in the Town of Newcastle, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, for the purpose of a right of way for electrical transmission lines extending from Wilson Junction to Oshawa Area Transformer Station to Mount Pleasant Junction.

The trouble is that many confuse love with a warm emotion, a romantic feeling, that comes and goes. The Bible teaches us that life flourishes and warm relationships exist, where there is not only erotic, but also, and in the first place, agapic love, the deep kind of love, that makes us to give ourselves away to others un- conditionally. Jesus, the perfect Lover, says to you and to me: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Where that deep christian love blooms, there people can celebrate life and love, not only on February 14, but every day of the year. new generating units expected to produce electrical power by 1981. When construction is completed in 1983 the station will have doubled in size. Four new reactors will have been added to the existing four and the total capacity of the plant will be enough to supply electricity to a city nearly twice the size of Toronto. By yearend, more than 350,000 cubic yards of concrete had been placed, approxi- mately 100,000 linear feet of cable pan put in place and 115,000 linear feet of piping installed. This year more than 600,000 tons of structural steel is scheduled to be erected. There were approximately 1,300 tradesmen on site in 1978 and this work force is expect- ed to grow by about 400 later this year. Pickering units 1 - 4 have been among the world leaders since the initial half of the station reached full power in 1973. Unit 5 is expected to begin producing electricity in 1981 and units 6, 7 and 8 will come F llthem out! Send them in!
