Since the formation of the Senior Band in 1973, the young musicians have visited King City, Chicago, Almonte, Thunder Bay, Edmonton, Edmonton, Mitchell, and British Columbia. This year, the Band and Choir expect to visit Osnabrook Secondary School in Ingleside, 55 miles south of Ottawa, June 1 to 4. The Clarke High School students are billeted with Osnabrook students for the three nights, to help keep costs down. It is expected that the Osnabrook Band will repay the visit in the spring of 1984. During exchanges such as this one, the groups do more than play several concerts, concerts, They act as tourists would for part of the time, i visiting local points of interest, interest, and spend a lot of time fitting into the normal routine of their hosts. Plenty of "freedom" is allowed, but Clarke High School students know the consequences of 1 poor behaviour (being sent home). The result has been seven exchanges exchanges of great educational value (not the classroom variety of "education") and musical excitement unmarked by misfortune (except for the tuba that the baggage handlers squashed On an aircraft!). aircraft!). In order to secure the large sums needed for touring,; the Band and Choir Parents' Association has taken on the selling of citrus fruit. In December, a small campaign was mounted as an experiment, experiment, and nearly $1,000 was raised in 4 days. Another campaign is underway now, that will end March 27th, with a goal of $4,000. The parents feel that the citrus fruit is a healthy, nutritional product at a reasonable price. It is unique in that it is tree ripened before picking, and then rushed to the consumer within a few days. Council Entiers around banner pole proposal The Town of Newcastle council members at their general purpose committee meeting on Monday fluttered around a proposal for perma-. nent advertising banner poles, to the point that a recess in the meeting was called. A. Tieleman, public relations relations officer for the Bowman- ville Red Cross had sought council's support in order that advertising banners could be strung across the street in Bowmanville. Tieleman had support from various other organizations in the Town all pointing out the advantage of such advertising. advertising. Tieleman had approached Newcastle Hydro with the suggestion that advertising banners be allowed to be strung from hydro poles. It was pointed out by hydro manager, Morley Watson, that hydro polls were not constructed to sustain cons- ■ tant tension and vibration that would exist by wind forces on the banners. Watson had suggested that a set of poles be installed at both ends of the Town in or to carry advertising bk ïs. In a report to council Ron Dupuis, director of public works, stated (hat such pôles would , cost an estimated $5,000 to install and more if the poles were to be aesthetic rather than wooden. He also reported .that changing of banners ■ could cost upwards of $300.00 or possibly less if such work was done by the Town. The directors report also stated that the banners could create a roadside hazard as well as drawing attention from driving responsibilities. The report did not recommend recommend the installation of permanent permanent poles at either end of ' King Street to support the advertising banners. Mayor Rickard suggested the report be sent to Tieleman and that the interested interested group be asked to come forth with a suggestion of what they would like and . that council would give favourable consideration. It was pointed out by Councs. Hamre and Hobbs that the request from the group was already before council. * Counc. Hdmre said she- agreed with the report and the Recommendation but felt council might give some other direction to the interested group. Co une. Taylor thought the idea was good and that it should be pursued further by talking -with the group. A number of motions were made but did not gain support support including a motion by Hamre and Hobbs that a copy of the report be furnished furnished to Tieleman and advising of further options and that council would endeavour to give their support. TBe-uto- tion was lost. Counc. Hobbs pointed out that there was no such funds in the budget for such a proposal proposal nor was it considered during discussions of the budget. After some time a motion did pass that the Director of Public Works and the Public Works liaison councillor, Ivan Hobbs, meet with the group to give further consideration consideration for the proposal. Counc. Barr asked if such was being considered for Bowmanville would it not also be considered for the other urban areas. .

Society has changed greatly in the past few decades and no other single unit has been more effected by this change than the family. Today, the single-parent home is not an uncommon phenomenon. Where both parents are present it is the norm to find them both working outside the home. There are pressures today, which were unheard of years ago. Unemployment is rampant; rampant; the media places many stresses on family life both in terms of expectations and time consumption. Alcohol and drug abuse is as common in many homes today, as apple apple pie was twénty years ago. Why then do some families cope and succeed so well? Balancing demanding careers with raising independent, well-motivated children - these families appear to have found some magic ingredient, which enables them to progress progress through life with a sense of individual freedom, while enjoying the closeness of a cohesive family structure.' Coping and succeeding in these hard, economic times is the topic of the next evening workshop for parents; teachers and students and will feature, as guest .speaker, Ms. 1 CLARKE HIGH SCHOOL Band & Choir Parents' Association Citrus Fruit Sale Oranges or Grapefruit 20 lbs. $10.00 40 lbs. $17.00 Quality Guaranteed.
