Auxiliary Prepares for Tag Day Education with, Terry Hlawkinis * Have you ever had someone tell you how well mannered your children are? You know, the type of situation where your son or daughter stays over at a friend's bouse and -lie friend's mother tells you later how nice it was to bave your child in their home. "He was sa mannerly,, so pleasant, a pleasure to have bim visit, tbey say, and you blink and say, " are you talking about the right cbild." You can't believe these words. Could they really be talking about my child. The one wbo yells around the bouse, forgets to make bis bed, argues with bis brothers, doesn't excuse bimself from the table and is sometimes even rude to you. Whatever could have bappened to bim tbat he performed so well? The tbing that happened is that he just passed the big test. And so did you. It seems to me that when a cbild performs well outside the home then yotu and be have done your job well. That to me is the true test, because the child will live and perform outside bis parent's home most of bis life. That of course is why we train our children. We want them to be able to cope independently in the world outside the home when it becomes tîme for them to leave. And treating people pleasantly, being thoughtful and acting mannerly are important factors to instill i them. Without these cbaracteristics they WilI turn off a lot of people and place themself at a disadvantage when they need flot be in that position. There are enough tough breaks in life without adding to them by having bad manners whicb aggravate others. I suppose one -of the big contradictions about teaching good manners to youngsters is that wbile they may show good manners outside the home, tbey don't always do so in the home. One migbt expect it to be the other way round. However when one remembers that the home is the training ground and the world is the testing ground it is more understandable. The f amiliarity with people and circumstances itbe borne as well as the constant presence of the people concerned are bound to result in some problems and relapses at times. However the insistance by parents that respect and manners be a part of daily life will instill the concept in the children wbich in spite of relapse will stand the test in the long run. It's the steady plodding, neyer giving up that pays off. One cannot afford to ever give up. The stakes are too bigh. It's not s0 much bow one's child turns out as a child that's important as bow one' s cbild turns out as an adult that really counts. The setbacks of youtb bave to be acknowledged in ligbt of the fact that one is a cbild only a few years, but an adult most of their life. This of course does not'mean one can ignore the setbacks a child bas or accept them. The setbacks, be they in manners or anything else have to be corrected quickly because tbis is the training ground for adulthood. No one likes to be treated rudely. 1 don't even tbink that rude people like to be treated rudely themselves. Manners and showing respect. to others is sometbing everyone appreciates. The cbild wbose parents insist on bis or ber learning this are giving tbe cbild a real advantage botb for the present and the future.

Volunteers will be on duty in Bowmanville, Newcastle and Orono. and media today following the unveiling of a room-sized model of proposed harbour development. William Selby, Chairman of the Oshawa Harbour Commis- sion, explained various aspects of harbour develop- ment using the huge scale model to illustrate the benefits planners see as accruing to the city. Reporters were told that scientific studies including hydraulic testing are current- ly being conducted by Depart- ment of Public Works to gauge the effect of development of the harbour. An important part of that development is removal of high land (Gifford's Hill) just east of the present docks and the creation of 140 acres of new land. The new property would house bar bgour-support industries as well as the growing number of light industries seeking the advantage of cheaper, fuel- saving water transport. Other Commissioners explained other aspects involved in the harbour plans. Ray Lunn said this city could become a major terminal with the start of a "Ro-Ro" (Roll on, Roll off) service between Oshawa and. Rochester. In addition to bringing benefits to Oshawa, use of fuel-saving ships to carry The people who seem to get the most out of recreational boating, trailer -their boat to the best places for action. With the trailer 50 important in boating, it's important to know how to properly use and maintain it. Here are a few suggestions from the experts at Allied Boating Association of Canada to help you broaden your boating horizons. On the highway, slow down, especially with a heavy boat in tow. It's safer and it saves fuel. Allow more time and room than usual when you're passing another vehicle, and make sure you've cleared the other guy before swinging back in front of him. And swing a little wider than usual for turns, too, to'avoid going over a curb or, worse stili, a pedestrian's foot. Keep plenty of distance between your car and the one ahead. And when you pull into a parking lot, find a place where you won't get locked in, watching out for low signs and canopies. Launching a boat seems to frustrate more drivers than it should. By keeping a few basic ideas in mi, and with a little practice, it doesn't take long to become an expert. When backing a trailer, remember that the car's steering wheel must be turned in the opposite direction frorn the way you want the trailer to go. If you want the trailer to go to the right, turn the steering wheel to the left, and vice versa. The best way to learn is to practice in a large empty parking lot. Practice backing the trailer in a straight line for 50 feet or so. Once you can do thîs, the rest will come easily. You will save tîme and avoid confusion at the launching ramp if you release the tie-downs and tilt the motor up just before going onto the ramp. This is also the time to make a last-minute check to be sure the drain plug is in. Before starting out on your trip, always check to be sure ail the trailer lights -- tail lights, brake and turn lights -- are working. Carry a few spare bulbs. Make sure the hitch is secured and safety chains are in place. Keep your trailer in good operating condition. Check tire air pressure frequently and keep the trailer wheel hubs grea.sed, especially if you 've dunked the wheels while launching repeatedly. Check ail the trailer tie-down ropes and straps for signs of wear. And -- importantly -- when you load the trailer, position gear 80 there's more weight ahead of the trailer axle on the tongue.

Marinas are big business elsewhere on the continent and are becoming so in Oshawa, he said. The Commissioners agreed that the harbour project, involving multi-millions of dollars in ships, cargoes and port facilities is business on a large scale. They termed attempts to paint it as anything less as "absurd". Ships tying up in Oshawa corne directly from the world's business and industrial capitals. In addition to their cargoes, these ships carry promise and potential to the city. The Commissioners were unanimous in feeling the promise, is likely to corne dloser to reality as fuel shortages increase and demand increases for fuel- stingy ship transport.
