S.A. $4.50 CAýN WE CONTINUE TO BE NATIONALISTIC Maurice Strong, a Canadian, who is executive director of the Uinited Nations environimental program, in speaking to the Men's Canadian Club of Ottawa, came forth with somne startling views which are well worth considering. t is no fantasy that the right of some countries to use their vastly disproportionate amounts of resources to support wasteful energy consum-ption could soon be challenged by the world community, Mr. Strong said. Canada, with less than one per cent of the world's population but with large oul, coal and uranium, reserves, would be one of the first counitries to be challenged if it adopts a poiicy "of narrow and defensive nationalism,"' said Mr. Strong. Up to now, the sovereign right of a country to its bountiful resources has not been seriousiy questioned, he said. But values are changing, just as the once sacred concept of private property has been eroded by the concept of benefitting the greatest number. There is no reason why a value system based on respect for national sovereignty wiIl not similarly be eroded as people corne to realize this is "a planetary society", and that no one country can act irresponsibly as resources and commodities diminish, he said. Many countries are adopting "narrow'and short-sighted concepts of national interest," including the Arab world which has restricted its exports of oul,lhe said. Mr. Strong's point is certainly well taken and we are today, or we are coming dloser to be a 'planetory society'. Although Strong does not specifically point to nationaiism in Canada it does on occasion raise its head. t is often used as a rallying cail by the politician or some other faction wanting to gain prominence. t is a popular thesis and one readily indentifiable Like most everything else there bas to be a degree of moderation and nationalîsmn is no exception. Actually what Strong is really talking about is a "Christian" attitude. At 1.00 p.m. on Tuesday the Ciarke-Orono fire department reported to a fire at the home of Lyle West, west of Orono, O'Chonski road. At the time of the fire no one was at home. At two o'clock with the assistance of Newcastle and Bowmanville it was reported that the fire was under control. There is no doubt that a section at the back of the house wili be destroyed. The department was at first hampered with the lack of water. for the do Town- council is in the proce ss of amending a by-law concerning the licensîng and regristration of dogs and to, protect the inhabitants and animais of Newcastle agzainst theinfection of rabies. CLARKE IIIGH SCHOOL February 25th marks the end of the second term and the beginning of the third. For those of us who are attending Clarke for the final year, the- 'future, whether well planned or undecided is coming into focus. Applications to the com- miunity colleges have been sent away, for consideration. Now the wait begfins for thé deciding letter of acceptance or denial. The sports scene at Clarke hasý been busy though not victorjous. The Midget Boys Basketball teamn seems to. be in a slump. At the beginning of the season they were easîly winning every gamne. However, during the past month the games won were few and far between. There is stili hope, however. If they win, their game with Courtice on Feb. l8th andi the game with Pickering- on February 22nd, they will participate in the semi-final play off s. The girls junior and senior volleyball teams have had their ups and downs. They've played a number of 'touran- mnents including one at Co- bourg West and another at Whitby. The school hockey team has made the rounds of the league. 'However, they have yet to be the victors team this year but that doesn't seem to mnatter. There are many students that enjoy just play- ing for the sake of having a good game. I say-all the power to them. Thegymnastics team com- prised of fifteen students is busy practising separate skills on the mats, parailel bars, trampoline vaults or balance beam. Upon attaining prefection in a number of these skills on one piece of equipment, the gymnasts will fit them together into an orderly and graceful1 routine. This is i preparation for tournaments a later on. Every Monday and Wed- nesday at 4: 00 p.m. one can meet three to five maie students running through the halls. At the completion of their workout, many miles have been m rn and toes touched. They are preparing for corss country running, track and field or orienteering meets in the spring. Cold viruses are making their presence known around the school and are encouraged by the fluctuation mnature fromn .76 degrees in the business rooms to 68 degrees in the science labs to 10 degree between the portables. CAROL BARNETT, 35 Years Ago As of March 1, 1939, car owners paid an increase of 7 to 9 percent on their automo- bile insurance. The increase was a resuit of heavy losses on the insurance company's part The local Orono arena held a Skating party on February 2th, 1939, in which approximately 100 people al- tended. Refreshments con- sisting of baked beans, gs By Shelley Louicks This also includes the est- iblishment of license fees which are to be paid before the fifteenth of March of each year. However, these fees seemn to be slightly out of balance. It has been tradition that owners of femnale dogs must pay. a higher price than those of maie dogs. THe respective prices are $10.00 and $3.00. For each additional maie dog, the fee is $10.00, and for each additional femnale dog, the price is $20.00. The fee is $25.00 for those dogs registered in the Canad- ian Keninel Club. Counicillor Lynil presented a letter of complaint from a citizen, stating that he thou- ght these fees were unfair and discriminaiory, and that they should be altered. Council, proceeded to agree to the third reading of the by-law. 3LOW PROGRESS FOR 3OWMIANVILLE SAFETY by Shelley Loucks Joyce Bell, spokeswoman for the residents of Marianna and Cadillac developments in Bowmanville, has been push-' ed back and forth between the Board of Education and Town council because of a reqnest for a school bus to take their children to Central Public. These children must cross Hwy No. 2 and they do not aiways go to the designated spots wbere there are cross- ing guards. The parents are conemned about the possible hazards with the children and traffic, and they complained that the crossing guards usnally lef t early, before al the children were out of school. Apparently, during the per- iod of construction on the Hwy No. 2, buses were provided by northnmberland -Durham Board of Education to protect the children from the dangers of the construction equip- ment. However, it was an understood- fact that these were to be cancelled after completion of the reconstru- ction. The parents wvant to see this service 'reinsta ted. .Coun. Lyall expressed bis opinion that action should be taken immediately before a child is kiiled, but despite thîs council decided to refer the matter- to the Community Services Committee to dis- cuss with the district super- visor.

Everybody seemns to be asking the same thing these days, "whatever has corne over our young people?", and then they add, -I don't know what the world is coming to!" Young people seem to be taking the blame for ail the delinquent acts that are happening, and it's time people took an objective view of the whoie situation. Such a poor example is being set for contemporary students, by the teachers and the Ministry of Education, because of their personal squabbles. Clarke Higch School bas been one of the luckier institutions by not getting too involved. But the Students are still takinig a stand against education, not only in sym- pathy for the other students that are being mîssed by the teacher, but for the chance that it might someday happen to them. Even now, comments sucb as "We're not learning any-, tbing anymore" are being beard from the better stu- BY SHELLEFY LOUCKS dents at Clarke. t isn't that the students are rebelAling unfairl;. Te ei ve that the teachers should have their rights for smaller classrooms and higher pay. T'he ' va rejust go ing about it in the wrong way.' By walking out of the classroomn, the only thing they are doing 'is lessening the student's chance of passing their year . There has been such a switch-around of teachers at Clarke, that the marks will, probably be takng a giant decline at the end of the term, and there will certainly be no sympathy from the teachers. It just doesn't seem fair that the students that want to learn, should lose out on) some of, their education, simply because negotiations cannot be made bétweenthe teachers and their, superiors. Teachers have definiteiy taken a status drop, and one parent's remark is "They're sure not' what tbey used to Year of Di scovery The year of 1973-1974 is a year of Discovery through Fun anid Friendship for Guid- es ail over the world. I have started collecting 'material - ,picture, newspaper clippings and memories in hopes of putting together in a perman- ent scrapbook, a history of Guiding in our own town of Orono. The lst Orono Guide Company was registered at headquarters on . December l6th 1941 and their leaders were Miss McDowell and Mrs. Velma Armstrong. Picture this :- it is Guide night and the girls ail troop into a large room where they go to their screened off patrol corners and prepare to carry on with thé work tbey have left last week. The walls are covered witb the charts that mark their progress and there are projects in va rious stages of compietion aroufid the room. A guider's dream? Perhaps, but in the early 1940's it was a reality. The girls met eacn week in a i oom of their own over Armstrong's store, where they had per- manent patrol corners and lef t their equipment andt projects set up from weekï week. This ideal arrangemenèh-' came to an end wben it was feit the dancing the girls were enjoying was weakening the building. Through the years the Guides have moved to varions meeting places in tLown. At present we meet in the General Purpose Room at the Orono Public School, each Monday night where we bring everything we use during the evening and taj<e it ail away when we leave as the school is not equipped with any storage facilities. During the past three w&"- I have spoken with many people and would like to hear from former leaders, guides and brownies with any infor- mnation to contribute to our history. See our Thinking Day Display in Armstrong's store window. Perhaps you will see yourself ?
