February_21. 1979 Education with Terry Hawkins "It's not fair". We've ail heard that statement many a time. Most of us have said it more than once too. I frequently hear young people refer to something as not fair. Somew'here they have the idea that everything should be fair. 0f cours.e it should, but in reality it just isn't so. Who ever said life is fair? It's not fair that somne people have poorer health than others - but it happens. It's not fair that sonne people are born with more intelligence' than others - but it hap- pens. It's not fair that some people are poor, or some people fail, or some people have a divorce, or some people get robbed or that buildings burn down or it rains on your birth- day, lots of things are not fair, but they happen. It wasn't fair that another driver slipped on the ice and bashed in the back fender of my car. It wasn't fair that I had to wait in the freezing ramn while the accident was investigated. It wasn't fair, but it happened., I arn sure that other driver feit that his bad luck wasn't' fair either. When unf air things happen to a person, l that person has an obligation, in my opinion to stand up for his rights, within reasonable limits. This is less true when it's "bad luck" that has been unfair to you and more true When someone is unjust in their dealing with you. In this case one should appeal for a fairer deal. However W'hen one gets unfair treatment you can't let it "eat you up. " If one actually expects life to be completely fair and resists each unfair act then that person is dooming himself to a life of anger, resentment and unhappiness. A per- son who suffers from these problems is surely not to be envied. It must in- deed be a dire unfair thing that would drive a person to bring these consequences upon himself. Not ahl apparently unfair things are in fact that unfair. True, an ear- thquake that destroys one's home and harms one's family is unfair and particularly so because it is com- pletely beyond one's control. An un- provoked attack by a mugger is equàlly unfair. However, somie ap- parently unfair things happen because we are careless,' thoughtless or even because we are unfair to others. For example, a student may think it unfair that other students won't be friends With him. That's surely unfair, but maybe it's because he teases everyone. A student may think it's unfair that he or she gets detentions for being late. However, was it fair for that student to create extra work for others, interrupt a teacher's lesson and disrupt his or her fellow students not only once but probably on a number of occasions. A student may feel that it's unfair that they can't write an examination makeup when they mîssed an exam because they got their timetable mixed up and arrived a day late. It is equally unf air to expeet others to "'bail" one out of their problems. In the case of people in these kind of situations, it's important to be of assistance to them, but W~e must not destroy the opportunity to have them learn one of life's important lessons. We do them an injustice if we don't let them face reasonable consequences for their actions. Dare we teach them that their teachers, parents or society in general will help them every time they create a problem for themselves? It would be a very unrealistic picture to paint for them. What chance does one have of get- ting a jb if they arrive a day late for the job interview? What chance of, going on your long planned vacation if you arrive an hour after the plane or ship departed? It may not seem fair to be left behind but that plane wihl be gone and no amount of w'ailing will bring it back. The fact that your car broke down on the way to the airport is unfair but of no con- sequence. The world would simply say "tough, you should have allowed more time. " Lif can be tough and at times it can be very unfair. We have to cope with that and teach our younig people to do the same. We also have to teach our young people the skills to take care of themselves so they can avoid situations which bring seemingly unfair consequences. Teaching these skills is no easy task but it is essential that it be doné because the alternative is t o allow a person to enter a frame of' mid-. where anger, resentment- and. self consuming bitterness prevail.

The Borelians production, "The Second Time Aroundt' to bîe held in Town Hall, 1873, Port Perry, Feb. 22, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. promises to be very entertaining and well worth seeing. Emmy Cox, a lady with a,,good deal of stage and T.V. experience has a major part. Emmy gave her first performance at the age of three. We trust many from this area will be on hand to see it. Emmy Cox is one of our friends from the Caesarea area. We understand tickets are still available by contact- ing Port Perry Star or Irwin Smith Music Ltd.> CaesarleiE-qchre lub Pres.

Secretary John Goss an- nounced that a "German Spring Fest '79"~ wil be held April 7th at the Centre,' featuring a German band, entertainment and authentic German food. It would appear to be a most interesting- and exciting evening in every way - fine food, entertaining folk from our own community and the Centre a wonderful setting for this "gala"' event! The Recreation Club would appreciate suggestions re - this well equipped Hall for future events. It's always good to see a community develop and prosper and reap the benefits from a modemn up-to- date Hall such as this.
