SAVE activities a Park Your Hair At Hairdressers " Wear It Tonight Elegantly Styled | It certainly is, and what it amounts to is that some \children are growing up and going into high school without any clear idea of what sex is all about. Even in Joni‘s Grade 6, there are older girls and older boys who are well on the way to being sexually mature, and even Grade 6 is a bit late to start giving basic information that they should have grown up with. In some homes, the very word "sex" is forbidden, condemned as "dirty language" and punished accordingly. It seems incredible, but I know homes where this happens. Sadly enough the parents are often trying to protect their children by this method, but they don‘t realise they‘re building up a keen curiosity in the subject while preventing the child from having any knowledge of it, except that it‘s |something disgusting. Of course, adolescents do learn about sex from some source, if not from parents or school, but it‘s | often a distorted version of the facts. Even less understandâ€" ‘able is that some mothers find it impossible to explain menâ€" | struation to their girls ; some of them are embarrassed, some of them are ignorant, some of them put it off until it‘$ too {late. by which time the child has often had an unnecessary fright. I remember this happening to me and I swore then }that if I had any daughters, they should be told in good time | what was happening to their bodies. Joni is now 10 and she is not very developed‘ physically. It‘s possible she won‘t menstruate for another four years, but I‘m not going to risk it. It could happen tomorrow and I have already started to talk to Joni about this important development in a girl‘s life. Do you remember the story about the little Red Hen who kept going around -ndtxiu various other animals to help her, but everyone said, "Not I"? Well, our children are getting this runâ€"around when it comes to their sex education, Most people think sex instruction is a good idea, but when it comes right down to the line, no one wants to give it. Some parents can‘t or won‘t, schools don‘t and where does that leave our youngsters? Often in the back seat of a jalopy, not really understanding what‘s going on, and when they do, it‘s too late. I think the onus is on Bnnu to see that their children are adequately informed, but too many parents are chicken about this subject and therefore it‘s essential that the school fills in the gap, As it is, many children come up to adolescence with no clearer idea of what sex is all about and why they feel as they do, than they have of the atomic bomb â€"and the sex drive is just as powerful and devastating as any bomb. The general ignorance about bodily functions and reproâ€" ductive processes is appalling; some parents themselves are so ignorant that they can‘t explain to their children. The general attitude of public schools is typified by a conversation I had with our local grade school principal today ; I phoned and asked if the school‘{nve any course on human biology or reproduction. "I‘m afraid not," he said. "Last year we showed a film on the subject, after school hours, separately to boys and girls in Grades 6, 7 and 8, and with each parent‘s specific consent, but we‘re not running it this year." I said that for my part I didn‘t object to the lack of instruction since I preferred to do it myself, but there must be lots of parents who would like the school to do it. "Well," he said ruefully, "Public opinion is not sufficiently advanced to permit this yet and it‘s a pity." Even in high school, there is an insane pussyfooting around the entire subject of sex instruction and although girls are taught in some schools â€" in separate classes, of course â€" about the development of an embryo, no indication is ever given as to how the embryo got there in the first instance. It is either assumed that the girls know or, more likely, that it isn‘t nice to talk about it. I asked our son, Jeremy, in his first year at high school, if there was any sign of sex instruction yet in any of his classes, but thare isn‘t. Some of the health text books used in high schools contain detailed diagrams of human anatomy right down to the intestines. but below that there is a blank space coyly labelled "sex organs". Yet, on the other hand, our adolescents can see that most adults enjoy sexy films and sexy jokes, accept sexâ€"based advertising and, presumably, enjoy sexual relations within marriage,. so no wonder they‘re baffled and cynical about our sincerity. Parents Afraid As a parent, I know what other parents are afraid of : the feeling is prevalent that if adolescents are wellâ€"informed about sex. and if sex is treated as just another aspect of human behaviour, they will be more liable to experimentation. What these parents won‘t face up to is that by 16 or 17. the majority of adolescents today are likely to be pushed into some sort of sexual adventure, major or minor, either by their own urges or by social pressures. That being inevitably | _ Wige and hairpieces for women are gaining in fashion importance, ‘The movement began in Europe a few years ago, after a lapse of | several centuries.

A perâ€" petual dreamer, he was an oddity in a strictly downâ€"toâ€"earth famâ€" ily. Frustrated and suppressed at school, he travelled extensively with the Dutch Merchant Marines. In a recent wedding at All Saints Anglican Church Brenda Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilson of British Columbia, became the bride of David Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Anderson of Cardigan Rd. in Islington. Archdeacon T. A. Wilkinson officiated at the ceremony in which the bride‘s sister, Mrs. A. Masterson, was Matron of honor, Miss Elaine Parkes was bridesmaid, and the bride‘s nieces, Debbie and Cathie Masterson served as bridesmaids. Robert Anderson was his brother‘s best man, while Jack Gibbins and John Pattison served as ushers. The reception was held at the Dutch Sister‘s Inn. Photo by Kerr _ These amounts are less than a ‘wix of comparable quality would cost elsewhere. Pierro extends a substantial discount to ‘his cusâ€" tomers since he hopes to have the | entire care of the hairpieces placed ‘in.his hands. A wig must be dry | cleaned and conditioned as shamâ€" ‘pooing causes the hair to lose its | shine. Beauty salons can give the best care to hairpieces since their purchase involves an investment of money requiring protection. They can be purchased in almost any colour. or dyed to match if a !ru.-mmor decides to change the colour of her own hair. When a {smlon patron decided on the purâ€" | chase of a "switch". Pierro first so, the only sensible answer is to see that they know what it‘s all about.. And it‘s just as vital to let our children underâ€" stand they can come to us with sex problems, just as easily as they can with homework problems. In most cases, this is impossible. The parents and the child don‘t have the sort of relationship where they can speak frankly to each other; I have known dozens of girls in various offices where I‘ve worked. who have discussed personal problems with me and inevitably added. "Of course, I can‘t talk to my mother about it. She‘d be upset." or "she‘d be shocked" or "she wouldn‘t understand." Needless to say there is no guarantee that even with adequate sex instruction, our youngsters won‘t make some serious mistakes â€" but we will have done all we can. The fire is there: our children will play with it; we can teach them that fire is a wonderful thing, but it can burn. or we can stand by and watch their lives go up in smoke. The choice is ours. qualities, The use of a hairmece allows a woman to make an almast insta taneous switch from a short, s.0ek daytime hair style. to a more sophisticated or elegant evening fashion.

In the same year, he won the first prize in oils and a scholâ€" arship at the Banff School of Fine Arts. In 1960 he again exhibited at Hart House, and in 1963, at Waterloo University. In the same year he was part of a group show at the Galleria Misriachi in Mexico City, had a oneâ€"man show at the "First Unitarian Congregaâ€" tion" in Toronto, and a group show l at the Roberts Gallery, Toronto. In 1965 he exhibited with the Naâ€" tional Society of Watercolour at the Art Gallery of Toronto and the National Gallery in Ottawa, and held his first major oneâ€"man show at the Roberts Gallery. He began to paint in a Dutch sanaâ€" tarium during a twoâ€"year illness, following which he emigrated to Canada, where he supported himâ€" self by working as a graphic deâ€" signer and waiter, After a summer at the Banff School of Fine Arts, he studied briefly under Jock Macâ€" donald at the Ontario College of Art. An incurable traveller, he reâ€" turned to Europe to paint in France and Spain from 1961â€"1962, spent several months working in Mexico in 1963, California in 1964, went back to France in the spring of this year. _ â€" This year he has won first prize in the annual OSA show, and had an important oneâ€"man show at the Raymonde Cazenave Gallery in Paris, France.
