"First, they are exposed to new behaviours and characters, then they learn to do or acquire those behaviours, and eventual- ly they accept them as their own," explains Kate Moody. This applies to violent behaviour as well. Some events, including auctions, teas and informal social get-togethers will be stag- ed in the province's nurs- ing homes.

Life must be like that, as well, children conclude, Lake Superior High School Schreiber/Terrace Bay In the past few weeks some parents have returned books (textbooks, encyclopedias and library books) which their children haye collected from the school library over the years. In fact, we have received a couple of hundred dollars worth of such returns. If, while doing your spring clean- ing, you happen to run across books that belong to the school, we would certainly appreciate having them returned. If you wish us to pick up the books, please feel from real life. Therefore, it is acceptable to behave that way. TV has a powerful effect on children's lives.

It's fine for TV to be a member of your family. If you want it to be an impor- tant member, that's a deci- sion for you to make. The most important thing to remember is this: do not let it be the family dictator that controls everything in the household, values as well as time.
