BATTLEGROUND Mr. Mickleburgh said the -schoaol ef today was a battie- gre'und with a lot of changes. The schol of yesterday is just liot good enough in this atomic age. "It lias* mucli more to do"', he said. In speaking of change the guesqt said that it was neyer an easy mnatter. but if we let the schools go on as they have we -wcuid be lettdng the ehildtren dowýn.

The speaker refered to think- ers such as Borner who were given the opportunity to be thinkers because someone else did the work. These thinkers neyer repected the physical man, he said, and this was the fiaw i their thinking. Today we have a new slave - technology - this is not human, it carrnes no moral taint, lie claimed. '"In th.e sweat of tliy brow thou shahl earn they breail", is not necessarily so te- day, he said. Be asked, "What are we us- ing this new science and technol- ogy for?" For thinking or for flame throwers or to create TV cemimercials. Be suggested tiiat àt was important to have the knowledge of how to be wise, to make ju-,gement, or to vote at elections for issues, for a world- widc, brotherhoiod and not to be. just a great consumer.

The Orono Home and School Club held their monthly meeting on Tuesday last we'ek in the base- ment of the Orono United Chureh with the president, Mrs. W. Bun- ting in the chair. A good turnout was present for the meeting. After numerous short reports and a roll cali of parents of children in the individual grades of the school Mr. Jack Moffat head of the program committee, was called upon to introduce. the guest speaker, Mr. Mickleburgh. Mr. Moffat aiso informed the meeting that it was the intention of the program committee to have those seeking election to the new county sehoal board to spe'ak at the next meeting of the Home and Sdhool club.

Autumn Colours Tree leaves in autumn disclose brillant colors that have hidden within the leaf ail suminer. For the most part, leaves do not 'change colour' at, this sea- son. Rather, the substance called rhlorophyll whieh colors leaves green die. As a resuit, the yellows oranges, reds and purpies that have been masked ail suminer by chiorophylil green emerge in au- tumnal glory. 1Despite its legendary role, frost does not cause the change in the leaf color. In fact, a hard frost too early interferes with the chemistry' of the leaf and may dampen fall color. The associa- tion between the death of tree leaves and frost is a matter of timing, riather ýthan of cause and effect. Tree leaves have complet- ed their summer's work and are dying at about the time that frost arrives. The yellows and oranges of aut- umn leaves corne fi-cm the caro- tin that lives in the leaf ail suin- mer. Carotin is a chemical best known for caloring carrots. Like other colors wîthin tihe leaf, it is necessary but less important thian chlorophyll whicli must be ex- posed to the sun. The reds, blues and purples in icaves ail corne fi-cm the same~ chemical, anthocyanin, which is an ingredient of leaf sap. Whetii- ci- the clor shade is on the red or blue side dcpends upon acidity of the tree's sap. The red maple, for instance, is highly acid and thus bas rermarkably brilliant rcids in its leaves.
