turns on his train a few times and thats it he knows how it works now the little girl finds out how her doll walks talks and cries and then it is forgotten you could call it toy dropout dropout is a real problem it is a problem with teens in high school t is a problem too with christians in church i pity the dropout they never discover the end result of a course of study or a life of ser vice but do you know where the greatest drop out problem lies these days in marriage to a great many young people marriage is like a new toy a new course or a new experi ence something to be tried out then discarded if necessary marriage is not just a friendship its not only a relationship it is a union of two person alities in all parts it is a permanent blend of two lives so there are personality differences what of it the progress of this combination with proper attitudes of course is the only way to find the true and beautiful effects of marriage no marriage is not just a car to be traded in after a few thousand miles in fact there is no real comparison that can be made marriage is unique but the best way to begin martiage is to consult the founder of it who the founder and who is the founder of marriage christ of course you see there is very little that is good and beautiful that was not initiated by him thats why we should consult him and his book he is the one who said they two shall be one to love and to cherish to have and to hold until death if you are ordering marriage this year get to know what it is all about get to know what j you are getting into otherwise you are

pital markham problems in marriage are the most frequent reason for seek ing help through counsell ing at the family life centre in markham about forty persons meet each week with the professional counsellors at the centre to see if they can work out improve ments or solutions for ser ious personal problems an analysis showed that marriage difficulties were the main factor for 45 of those who came for counselling sessions other family concerns were the main factor for 35 child ren or teenagers for 12 and other kinds of prob lems for 8 the counselling is done by dr kenneth allen exe cutive director and by rev ron owston and rev keith page most of those who come for counselling are referr ed by such persons as min isters or doctors and there are some who decide to come on their own no

red school house in my past is a museum now and the hamlet where i climbed my first tree rode my first bike and kissed my first boy is fast growing into a thriving suburb of that ravenous octopus toronto many changes have been made on the face of the land in the last twentyfive years but the new order of things can never bulldoze that rural school its teachers and the village of brougham from my scrapbook of memories that place and those times root them selves more firmly into my heart with every pass ing year i was too young to fully appreciate mr mc- whirter a lovable scot with an infectious laugh and a moustache he was the teacher who got me started on the road to learning i remember standing shyly by while he explained to my moth er that a lefthanded child was no longer forced to write with her right hand and from then on i was his devoted slave i proved it once when he was reading a story to us wistful little beginners when he wasnt looking i reached over and kissed him on the back of the neck all the other kids laughed un mercifully and poor mr mcwhirter blushed i felt just a little bit hurt myself when he made me stand in front of him after that mr mcwhirter was our mother away from mo ther he made scratched fingers better wiped runny noses and cleaned up without complaint after any child unfortunate enough to throw up all over the floor i remember how proud i was of that tooth he pulled for me i took it home and put it under my pillow and sure enough in the morning i found a nickle there just like he said i would and wasnt it mr mcwhirter who gave us the holiday after hed spent a morning scratching through our hair with a magnifying glass only a handful of children were left in school and they thought they were pretty smart but the rest of us didnt care mr mcwhirter was our knight in shining ar mour too one day a shoddy looking fellow came trudging along the road past our school and the big boys began to taunt him he didnt appreciate the insults and chased them all around the school yard us little guys were so scared we all crowd ed into the toilets and some of us began to cry but when mr mcwhirter arrived he made that bad man go away mr mcwhirter could do just about everything when he decided to move on to greener pas tures it almost broke our hearts he had taught us plaed with us mothered us fathered us and disciplined u and we were sure that no one could take his place but we hadnt reckoned on a fairygodmother named miss irene reesor of all the teachers i have ever known and since turning inio one myself i have met quite a few there hasnt been one who served her pro fession with such devotion and with such a com plete and unselfish love for children even the boys recognized the bigness of her heart i cant recall hearing any of them call her old lady reesor that classic label for female teachers of all ages miss reesor was a soft plump sweetsmelling lady in a dark blue dress and spectacles we thought she had reached the point of no return as far as her marital status was concerned but i believe now that she couldnt have been more than thirtyfive if she was that one fine winter day barbara and i coaxed that dear madonna of the schoolroom to come and see the wonderful cave wed built in a snow bank we led her proudly down the back street toward the barn where our crowning achievement stood waiting to be admired when we reached the laneway our sweet flush of success at capturing the teacher to ourselves for a while melted into the sonw the drifts that barbara and i had skip ped across so many times werent firm enough to support that willing but much too heavy lady we were determined to make the best of an awkward situation so we got our boards and sheets of tin and spread them out across her path and she gamely crossed those treacherous moun tains to our cave all her compliments and ex clamations coudnt dissolve the lumps which had risen in our throats now she knew that we knew that she weighed a ton at least days and days went by before our eyes could meet hers again if miss reesor was successful with us it was because of her warmth and sincerity we felt instinctively that she was every bit as concerned about our progress as our parents were we want ed to do our best if only to live up to the high ideal she seemed to have of us the method miss reesor used to correct my dreadful posture was typical of her handling of us i had a habit of dangling my feel in the aisle and folding my arms across the desk with my chin resting upon my fists a lesser teacher would no doubt have been snapping at me constantly to sit up straight and act like a lady but miss reesors method was much more subtle and ef fective she called me to her desk one recess and patted my hand and told me that i carried my self just like a little princess after that i tried not only to walk like a princess but to sit and stand like one as well i dont remember how adept she was at teach ing us the three rs or if she was able to keep good discipline but i do know that by her own example she was able to make us more aware of the simple human relationships that make the difference between a contended life and a frus trated one and that after all is about the most important lesson in the entire curriculum season end all sales final please no exchanges or refunds all over snow the root boots womens mens boys
