The article deals quite frankly with this very potent problem. We use the word "potent" because any mention of the subject will find very emphatic arguments pro and con, | Statistics from Insurance compan- ies and police however can not be ar- gued down. They definately show a preponderance of serious accidents at- tributed to the teen age boys: (They say that the girls are somewhat less accident prone.) Many parents are worried "about this situation. * However they seem to feel that they must follow along with what others are doing although they really don't approve. If parents would get together on this subject and do a little serious investigation I think that they would find this my- thical leader of Public opinion was in all likelihood the teen age youth themselves, who can sell mother and dad the idea that they are the only 'old fogies' with horse and buggy ideas in the whole town, As a matter of fact really up-to- date thinking is likely to be the other way. That is, the most modern par- ents are beginning to realize that the high powered car is no suitable ve- hicle in which the young folk might sow their wild oats. The article in Newsweek points out some very signiffeant facts, Firstly that children's judgment at times borders on the fantastic, hence the name 'crazy kids'. Secondly that there is a growing trend to insist up- on driver training programs for the teen ager before a license is issued. (Whether or not these driver schools should be linked with the regular day schools is the issue here). Thirdly that all insurance companies charge a much higher rate if the car is dri- ven by a teen age boy. Fourthly some states in the Union have raised the age so that youth cannot obtain a license until he is 18 years. Not all the young people are going to turn out to be poor drivers, but the chances are very high that they will not be able to resist the temp- tation to show off; that poor judge- ment will get them in trouble sooner or later. The insurance companies and the police have given this matter long and careful consideration, But if we are to really right a bad situation we, the parents, are going to have to make some decisions based on our own jud- gement and not give junior his way 'because every one else' does it, New Town Offices The new offices for the Town and Hydro are now being used.

The minister travelled from one to the other by horse and carriage. She sald that in 1832 two young men arrived in the area from Tyrone, Ireland. Robert McLaughlin and James McFeeters. McLaughlin cleared 60 acres of land along the bank of the mill pond, and that land is still owned by his descendants to- day. He was the grandfather of Mr. R. 8. McLaughlin. Mr. McFeeters built the mill, but later sold it to the Vanstones of Bowmanville, The mill is still serving the community.
