Father's Day: their kids' tell the story This Sunday is Father's Day. Everyone has a birthday -- their Hi Dad: Happy Father's Day own special day in the year. But what do kids think about a special The grade four students in Gord Hogg's Corpus Christi classroom talked about Father's Day this week -- why we bother with it; what's the hardest thing about being a Dad; the best thing about being Father; and family plans to surprise Pop this day for their fathers, and what do they think about the ups and downs ¢ of being Dad? We got these candid remarks from the Sunday on his day. For their remarks, see the ar- ticle below. By the way, Wednesday was T-shirt day at Corpus. Mr. Hogg's class won the prize for having the most number of students sporting their school's special shirt. There are 23 in all-- count 'em. Concerned parents plan meeting at MSS The next meeting of Midland and area parents concerned about young people and drug and alcohol abuse will be held at Midland Secondary School, Monday at 7:30 p.m. Meeting co-ordinator Elaine Kraftscik said Thursday that the first meeting dealt mainly with street (illegal) drugs and that the response of the group was concern and action. "As parents, we know we cannot possibly solve the whole problem, but, by doing our share, perhaps we can alleviate some of the pressures caused by these problems," she said Thursday. "'We've decided that a drop-in centre as well as a telecare service would be a start. These ser- vices would be another link in the chain of organizations trying to build a better com- munity." Monday the thrust of discussion will continue to be on the need for a drop-in centre. An at- tempt will be made to assemble a list of volunteers to help with the telecare service. Persons who cannot be at the Monday meeting, and who wish to volunteer some of their time, can phone Kraftscik at 526-6092 or Faye Parker at 526-6076.

The question put to the students' was, "Father's Day: why do bother with it?" They said things like: "We respect him." "Love him." "It's a chance to thank him.' "He keeps a roof over our heads." "He fixes things, like my go-cart and bike.' "He's a teacher, telling people what's right and wrong."' 'He takes you places, fishing if you want." "'He helps you to learn about cars and things like that." "At birthdays and Christmas, he pays for the presents.' 'Yeah, he also tells you not to blow all your money at once.' 'He helps you with your problems." "Sometimes Dad lets us stay up to watch the late show on TV." "If you don't have anything to do, he'll play games with you." "If you get into trouble, he tries to get you out of it." "He's a person you can depend on."' In answer to the question, "What do you think must be the hardest thing about being your father?"' the kids said: "When all the kids start yelling in the house, he tries really hard to stay calm." 'When he's trying to sleep in on_ the weekends, everyone's yelling and making noise." '"'One of the hardest things is just keeping the family going." "It's hard on him when you're bad and he has to give you a lickin', and he says 'This hurts me more than it'll hurt you.'"' _What's the best thing about it? 'He loves you and cares for you." Any special plans for this Sunday? "My birth- day just passed, I got some money and there's a place my dad really loves to eat, so we're going there." "'Me and my mum are taking Dad out to supper." "We're going camping this weekend." "We're going fishing at the cottage." "Gonna let him sleep late." Happy Father's Day!
