EE Thursday, July 10th, 1958 ~Shook-up 'Youth 8 Our teen-agers, 'horrible word that, are unquestionably, individuals. But true: as. this is, and they will assert it and we will readily confirm it, the fact of the matter is that most of them fall into three typical classes, groups, or types. i The first type and it represents a good proportion of our youth is a normal type. This normal type numbers among its: mem- bers those kids who are no better or no worse than their parents were, If any- thing they are an improvement on their parents, 'They are a little healthier, a little more knowing, and generally a little -more successful than their parents were at a similar age. There's no use arguing against this. 'We have the statistics to prove it, : . The second group is not quite so numer- ous, It is made up of the slightly con- g fused. They haven't enough backbone to make up their minds as to whether they should be normal or abnormal. Their be- haviour is rather erratic and so is their record in and out of school. Usually they are not very happy-and cauge considerable concern to parents and teachers alike. Perhaps, we might call them the uncom- "mitted. They lack direction; they lack purpose and they lack good habits . . . "but not consistently. : .The: third. group is distinguished. by a uniform. They run to'leather jackets, and wellingtons and weird hair-dos. That 'is the male species. The female is most often distinguished by her unclean look. "Public Confidence ° Public confidence in the integrity of its 'government is an important essential for 'good government. It is not only important, - for the right administration of the powers: and privileges granted elected represent- atives of the people, it is also important to ther general confidence that underlies good business practice and to the moral - 'level of community, a province and a coun- try. 3 Public 'confidence has been somewhat shaken by the irregularities and indis- cretions which have characterized the pro- - motions of the natural gas stock. This "has happened in at least two of the 'pro- vinces, Ontario and Quebec. In Ontario it was the leader of the C.C.F. who made the original .disclosures which have led to an official investigation, the resignation of three cabinet ministers, and the promise of prosecutions of 'officials of the 'conipany. In Quebec the disclosure of participation in the sale of stocks and debentures relating to a natural gas company were made by a newspaper. However, in Quebec, Duplessis has reacted in a manner quite different wi. Notes and Comments 'Hair is frossy.and straight; make-up -is strong and careless, She usually is given to hard and constant: gum-chewing -and a raucous voice which staccatoes and punct- uates hep-talk. The, members of this group are invariably poor students in spite of 1.Q. ratings that. are sometimes quite high. They are creatures of the slump and the slouch. The boys are heel-drag- gers or clumpers. They get crazes. There is the motorcycle craze, rock an' roll craze, the care craze, but their most charateristic craze is the lazy one of 'doing nothing and doing it ungracefully, It is from this group that most of our young crime comes. Stealing, auto-thefts, liquor violations have increased six-fold since 1950 and most of it comes from this third group. Who is to blame? ?. "Boys and girls from good, bad and in- different homes. make up this group. But in all the homes there is one thing that seems to stand out. Lack of responsibilities accompanying the pursuit of pleasure and 'comfort. There are too many harmful practices and pursuits in our society, too few stand- ards for parents to allow their children to "grow up haphazardly without direction and strong guidance, papers, in comics, in movies and in tele- vision, children who are not indoctrinated 'with: good 'standards and healthy habits too often drift into this category. And there are too many of them. - from that of Premier Frost. The fiery . tions of its members. Maurice blew his top, which is nothing new or unheard of, and threatened all sorts of wild reprisals against the Le Devoir. It would seem that the time has come "for parliament to tighten up on the condi- tions which govern the financial manipula- - Honesty in the "government and in business does not just happen; it is something we work for and towards, To assume that men and women are Simon-pure simply because they have been elected to parliament, simply because they have been made Cabinet ministers or given other official posts is not only naive ; but foolish. The newspapers have a service here to perform: and so have the members of the opposition. Mr. Wintermeyer, leader of "the Liberals in Ontario seems to have been ill-advised to invest in a company which must do. business with the government especially since Mr. Wintermeyer has made it quite clear that there is' nothing he would desire more than to be the Premier.

"Canada owes such a debt of gratitide'to these little rural. churches, for leadership 'that is continually going forth, Tt is a wonderful expérietice for thie Min~ ister to commence 'the day with such a good response,. We miss 80 many of our regulars at the Island Church, The + Church is a family, and it is good to know that we are missed. Sometimes, just a little more effort, and we could have made it; for we have something to contribute as well as receive. We strengthen the hands of each other. We were happy to welcome many of our "Summer Guests, and from time to time we will be seeing new faces. The senior sang "Hear Ye the 'Call", and the junior choir sang. The min- ister ¢ontinued the series in the Life and Teaching of our Lord.

Nol they? do mot, arid would not like to kill'Him, but He disturbs them, Think of the ravages of war and drink! May- be, we shall yet have to take Jesus out of hiding and listen to Him. "How can Satan cast out Satan?" Surely the truth can never be estblished by lies; nor. liberty by repression; nor temperance "by: drinking; nor demo- cracy by arbitrary - measures; nor réligion by- compulsion. On Wednesday we will have a social time together, and' will meet at the Centre Church for Supper. All the ladies of the island (Head, Centre and Foot) are helping, and we are fooling forward to a large: gathering, The proceeds will go to the Stewards, We have just installed an oil furnace which will make heating so much easier. One more step forward, and we will be all set for the cold; namely to insulate the ceiling, instance in the life of the church when it is necessary to keep in the heat. And on Tuesday the congregation of Prospect 'are meeting to decide who should get the contract for an oil fur- nace, Plans are being formulated for the One Hundreth 'Anniversary at Scugog 'Head Memorial" Church to be 'held in:1960, - Mrs, Thos. 'Redman is the' ehiirman of the Group appoint- ed by. the Women's Association, - A meeting was held on' Friday evening and donations have ialréfidy begun to come. A meeting of the Church Trus- tees will soon be ealled, together with the ladies, to see what can be done to make. the Church building more ef- ecient. The! big. problem 'is that of 'heating. By the way, we are happy that so many from the "Head" do at- tend the 'early' Sunday 'School, and thén come ito the Church service at the Centre. And then our evening service held at the "Head" quite a. goodly mamber from (the ! Centre iand Foot attended. This is the new pattern, We have one Church with 'two sets of buildings, and the whole Island Wor- ship together. In future Anniversary services will be in both churches, This is one]l.

We have just as large a gathering at the "Head" as we do at the "Centre and Foot" combined. Next Sunday|. the services will be taken by Dr. Ken- neth Braham. The Minister will be preachingi anniversary services at St. Lawrence' Church in the Gananoque- Pittsburg Pastoral Charge. On Monday morning the Island will be alive with boys and girls, for it is the commencement of our: Daily Va- cation Bible School. There is only one way in which a school of this. type can be conducted and that is, by the whole community helping, None of us think anything of going to Whitby or Toronto in our cars. All that we ask is that each family make two trips) to the Island per week. If we will all do our share of the 'driving, then the school will be a success, and the Church as a whole will benefit. We need at least two cars each from Pros- pect and Manchester to bring the children; and two other cars each to come for them. Have the children come to church and cars will meet them. A schedule for those driving has been sent out; and we know that everyone will do his or her best. No work in the Church is any more im: portant than looking after the chil- dren. On the last Friday, namely. the 26th, the children will come as usual; are invited to join with us in a pienie' at Stephenson's Point. We shall all have lunch together, and enjoy a pro- and then in the afternoon' the pardnts}and Billy Prentice and Crystal Snow ALEX BARRIS Toronto newspaper columnist Alex Barris, who stars on a weekly tele- vision show, will be the summertime replacement for (Rawhide on CBC ra- dio.

It has occured to us that we might make it possible to air such views for .others to study. So we have decided to make a spot 1h our columns especially to pass these ideas along. If you have any ideas which you think are worth more than a passing glance please send them along for our "Community Jam Session" so wnat others might think about them too. Perhaps after sizing them up we will consider they are-worth put. ting into practice. Should we sug- gest that the secretaries of the vari- ous clubs and organizations clip the ideas for club discussion? If we all work together we can do a great deal lor our home town, To start our "Community Jam Ses- sion" we have a couple of ideas to pass along. A SUMMER WORK PROJECT-- So many of our teen-agers need a summer--job, to keep from being bored and also to gain experience in working for others, that it has oc- cured to us that a summer work pro- ject might be organized in our com- munity along the lines of the work camps we hear about in the States, except in this case the youngsters would live at home and be under the direction of a supervisor only while at- work. The project would need to be of community importance and yet not one which would ordinarily be done, as that would take work away from 'the men who earn their living. Many details would need to be wor- ked out, and yet we feel that if we truly study the matter something worth while can be achieved, CODE OF BEHAVIOUR FOR TEEN-AGERS--While we are on the subject of teen-agers I would like to draw your attention to the subject of an article I read recently. It seems that in several of the larger centres in the States the parents have got- ten together and drawn up a "Code of Behaviour" for their sons and daughters, covering such points as the hour to be home, the use of the car, parties etc. They claim to have had great success. The youngsters get together on these problems, why not the parents? Along this line we might consider some work in hobby groups. One parent might agree to supervise a music session at regular intervals, another perhaps would help a group of model builders, some might be in- terested in art instruction. The field is wide, and there are lots of talented parents. What do you think of these ideas? Got a pet idea of your own to pass along? The Anglican spper Friday even- ing was as sual all that could tempt any appetite and very well attended and enjoyed also the entertainment which followed. } Mr. and Mrs. Mike Polloch and Martin, Galt, visited Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Dorrell and girls on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Germond, New York, Mr. and Mrs. Art Germond, Oshawa and Mrs. E. Darcy spent Sunday with the Tom Hoidges and Mrs, Argue.

A number of young people gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Strong Tuesday evening and enjoyed a charivari for Mr. and Mrs. Dan Sin- clair. On Sunday the families of Mr. and Mrs W.esley Hoskin gathered at the old homestead where Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Hoskin now reside on the oc- casion of Mr. Wesley Hoskins Birth- day. There were fifty-eight present. The older friends had a good visit during the afternoon while the child- ren enjoyed horseback riding after which all enjoyed lunch on the lawn. Mr. T. A. Beacock, Weyburn, Sask. Miss Edith Brown, Orillia, Rev. and Mrs. C. Ferguson, London spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. C.

Beacock Picnic The thirty-first reunion of the Bea- cock family was held at Blackstock Saturday, July "4th. Forty - five friends had arrived for dinner while by supper time some one hundred and thirty had registered. A few had to leave before supper. The ladies of the W.M.S. served the bountiful meals which were partaen of in the Recrea- tion centre, thus allowing all rela- tives to have more time renewing ac- quaintances. During the afternoon teams -were chosen and a game of ball enjoyed, then the sports committee, Mr. and Mrs. Les.

Any one who dares to point out the logical out- come of such plans js labelled as a tool the middle man. Farm leaders who espouse the plan seem to detest all logic but their own. They shout, "If you are not a farmer, keep your nose out of this " I think they become. litter because in this fight they are wrong. My father used to say, "Whenever you're hurt--you're wrong! If you are oi sound ground, you can argue without losing your temper. When, away back somewhere in your mind you have a nagging thought that the other fellow is right, you start to think with your emotions." Producer-controlled compulsory egg marketing will, in my opinion, prove a G6-month benefit for the person with a small flock -- and then a big bust. The big producer will make a killing out of it for maybe two years, at the most, and then he'll be in trouble. And the producer-marketing board will be in trouble to the point where it will have to yell to the governemnt for help--and when it gets that help it will become a government-controlled compulsory egg marketing plan, and everyone will be the loser. The farmer with a small flock will benefit very briefly, because the board will no doubt will pay him enough to leave a good profit above his cost of production. The board, of course, will have to pay the big producer at the 'same rate per dozen. A rate that means a moderate profit to the small producer means some- thing close to profiteering to the big and efficient one. Naturally, he'll ex- pand to get all the bonanza he can get. The board will get so many eggs ship- ped at them they'll be hard-pressed for storage space, Surplus eggs will pile up everywhere, and consumers will get wary indeed about freshness and quality. For perhaps a year, the big producer will make a killing. Then, when the Board is up to its ears in eggs and to its shoe-strings for money, there'll be talk of regulating production--but farmers just won't tolerate it. The plan will fold (unless it becomes a governemnt-controlled plan, to give it a few more years of life), and pro- ducers will see prices drop so low it'll break all but the biggest and most efficient. If this scheme is no good, why don't the big producers get together and back a voluntary marketing scheme? Why must such a good thing be com- pulsory? Why force the margina! producer into a scheme that seems almost certain to break him in the long run? : CHILDREN' Canada and NEW children a proper education sured the right to a com- by writing for the FREE * Station D, Ottawa. eon, UNDER TEACHERS Canada's future depends plete education.
