Page 8 THE STRATFORD MIRROR Friday, April 27, 1945 -- been told we must be aggressive to get on in the world. We were taught about everything except in the field of human relations. And in that field experiment doesn't work -- that lesson comes at shattering cost to some. "The Hollywood view of love mis- leads many girls," said Miss Harwood, who supervised girls' camps during four summers. "They get the idea there is something miraculous and mysterious about love. They kiss the boy friend, but it's such a cold and disappointing affair, they go further to get the thrill Hollywood says is there. "So much that could be done by the Church is not done. Teaching biology is not enough; there must be more than that. Parents, the Church and the schools are divided as to "whose responsibility it is. Whoever is going to do it must do it in a Christian way, and with the highest ideals; neither with false modesty nor with vulgar frankness."

Ji Pratt re- counts one of the heroic stories of the sea. |The British ship, the Antinoe, had been seriously disabled in a terrific storm and had. sent out an SOS call. That call was answered by the Ameri- can steamer Roosevelt, which, in spite of the danger involved, hurried to the aid of the Antinoe. They found the Antinoe; stood by for some time. It soon became evident that the sail- ors on the Antinoe must be rescued, for the ship was doomed. Oil was poured upon the waters and a lifeboat manned by sailors from the Roosevelt set out upon the perilous task of rescue. The first lifeboat capsized and two of the sailors were drowned. In spite of their own peril, the men of the Antinoe lowered their flag to half-mast in honor of the Roosevelt's dead. Other lifeboats were lowered and finally all the sailors were taken from the Antinoe, When the time came for the 'last Sailors to leave their sinking ship, one of them crawled along the icy decks and raised the flag to full mast, for it is the tradition of the sea that the ship should go down with her colors flying. These sailors boarded the Roosevelt, not as timid men scurrying for safety, but as seamen who could hold their heads high. They had lived up to the glorious traditions of the sea. St. Paul in a letter to friends of his in Corinth, said, "I have fought a good fight." Life, he believed, is a struggle for all of us. But the battle of life -Should never be turned into a dog- fight. It should always be a royal struggle, an heroic fight. St. Paul knew at first-hand of the perils of the sea. He would have said of these men, "They have fought a good fight." They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters; These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, -- Which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble, They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses, He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their de- sired haven. Dr. Walter T. Brown. A Frank Expression By A Young Miss Parents, the school and the Church have failed in their several and joint responsibilities to youth. The present high rate of venereal disease is one re- sult of that failure. The failure of parents to develop in their children a proper philosophy of life reflects the uncertainty parents feel as to what is proper guidance. The self-centred attitude and lack of discipline among youth are, in part, a result of an educational system which pampers children by demand- ing that they not be repressed in any way, but be free to express themselves. Few ministers are aware of what is happening in family life today. Few ministers do anything to prepare youngsters in their congregations for boy-and-girl relationships on a high moral plane. Young people level these charges. Their spokesman is Elinor K. Har- wood, pretty, 22-year-old divinity student, who was invited by the Health League of Canada to speak for youth at a recent health forum in Toronto. Answering an invitation to enlarge her views, Miss Harwood declared: "The increase in venereal disease has been greater in the group of girls between 14 and 17 years of age than in any other," said Miss Harwood. "Not money, but some other reason is involved. The reason is bound up in the educational atmosphere in which we have grown up. "Many of our parents were repress- ed in their childhood. We were not. We were pampered. We were given freedom, but we were given no guid- ance. We have grown up in homes where we were expected to make our own choice without any interference. We were expected to act as adults long before we had reached the age. "Schools have taught us to express ourselves and to experiment.
