~â€" Pigg®# â€"â€" THE WESTON TIMES â€" Thursday, August 12 1965 Mr. and Mrs. D Frances are home days. ET VC MWNW CWYO The boys are a shaggyâ€"looking lot and most of them smoke, but their hearts are in the right place. Jeremy also smokes furtâ€" ively when he thinks I‘m not looking and we have an unspoken gentleman‘s agreement that I won‘t mention it as long as he doesâ€" n‘t make it too obvious â€" I suppose this was inevitable since all his peers seem to have the habit, but I regret it. They‘re all schoolâ€" boys and most of them have summer jobs, either on weekends or edd days during the week, as carâ€"washers or hashâ€"slingers or as carryâ€"out boys in the supermarket. Social background doesn‘t seem to make any difference since these boys come from a variety of homes, some better off than ours, some where both parents work. One of them is the son of the local dentist, one has seven brothers and sisters and enjoys them all. Another boy has four younger children in the house and can‘t stand being at home. None of them are brilliant scholars, although all passed this year except one â€" the nicest boy of the bunch, and the one who is an omnivorous reader. As you can understand, I find them a fascinating group to observe at close quarters. We like them all and get on well with them; they seem to like us and to be grateful for a place to go. Ironically enough, we have less trouble communicating with other youngsters than with Jeremy, but this may be par for the course, especially as he finds it hard to communicate with anyone. As most readers know, we now live in a good residential area in Aurora, in the old part of town: one of those lovely treeâ€"lined streets where all the houses are old and rambling with shady verandahs and pretty zardens. Our street is mainly inhabited by retired couples, schoolteachers, local businessmen and a minister or two. Its understandable that they don‘t all relish the idea of having what amounts to a teenager‘s club on the street, alâ€" though in defence I must say that there‘s no drinking, all activâ€" ities break up by 11 p.m. and the kids donit interfere with anyâ€" one or anyone else‘s property, They may stand and talk and fool around in our driveway before they disperse, but no one is really inconvenienced by them, unless you consider that the street‘s status is damaged merely by their exuberant presence. We unâ€" derstand that some people do feel this but no one stops to ask â€" where else can they go? The answer probably is that most people don‘t care where they go, as long as they‘re not bothered by them. If they‘re at our place, however, they‘re not hanging around the plaza or driving around looking for something to do. For the selfâ€"contained teenager â€" a Tare bird, I admit â€" there are plenty of ways to amuse oneself; volunteer summer camp work, camping trips, personal projects, such as building a radio or a telescope, visits to museums, reading and so on. But it‘s the average teenager most of us are concerned with the average teenager flourishes best in company with other teenagers and even in a pleasant town like ours, there is no provision for teenagers during the ‘summer. The swimming pool is too crowded every day with small children, so that it‘s literally imâ€" possible to swim and the deep end is reserved for diving only. ‘There is no cinema: no dances; no clubroom. The kids hang around the town‘s biggest dairy bar in the evenings because their friends come there too and it‘s central and there‘s a sense of mends COU" cus vide need is a clubroom during the summer, ‘There is no cinema;: nO CaNC®. 27. """" °/ U ninge because t the town‘s biggest dairy bar in the evenings because their friends come there too and it‘s central and there‘s a sense of action. What the kids need is a clubroom during the summer, which has room for a weekly dance, and two other rooms where they could sit and read, play cards, play their instruments or just horse around with their friends. It needs to be supervised by adults who like teenagers, who can communicate with them and who are people they can like and respect. Coffee and cookies should be available for a small charge and it should be open from .10 in the morning until at least 10 P.M. seven days a week. Yes, I know the biggest problem â€" where are you going to get even. two dedicated adults to devote their days to this, for three months of the year, for probably no more than $60 per week I think it would be futile for a church group to run this, since most teenagers regard the church with some suspicion, but MARC® P""0 ./ 10 Aurora â€" and probably in most Mr. and Mrs. Epuma have sold their home on Muncey Ave. and have moved to Humber Summit, all the best to these folks in their new home.

The Young Peoples Group of Rexdale: Missionary _ Alliance Church held a Splash Party on ‘Thur@day evening at the home on cookies and pop, or milk and brownies, is pretty high and the driveway gets littered with cigarette butts and gum wrappers, but they‘re a good bunch of kids and we don‘t have any real probâ€" lems with them. â€" s _ Sure, it‘s inconvenient at times (though if we are going to have our own friends in, we let the kids know and they stay away), and some nights I feel that if I have to listen to "Walk don‘t run" ence more, played on two guitars and drums (helped by two amplifiers), 1 shall leave home. Sometimes Jeremy has three of them to sleep in the tent in the garden overnight (I‘m thankful now that it‘s a small tent), which means breakfast for four tousled teenagers. The group has a nucleus of about eight permanent members, who vary in age from 15 to 18, and they bring along visiting friends, cousins, ete. from time to time. ‘They arrive on foot, on Hondas or on borrowed bikes and when Jeremy has a good band practice going in the spare room, we get teenagers from up and down the street who come in to listen, even though they‘re not members of the group. One night I counted 18 jammed into the room to listen to what was going on. On occasions like this, I have to limit the refreshments to the band only. â€" en n e U â€"Congratulations . to Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Blackman on the arrival of their daughter Carol Lynn, July 25 at Humber Meâ€" morial Hospital.
