funding have talked to groups across Canada on International Aid and have heard all the arguments Lets look after our problems at home first is one of the more common He said this is where the men stand out from the boys If we can look beyond our own pro blems to see the overall need we are getting somewhere Charity begins at borne but it doesnt need tostay there lNITEIAPIEI Seymour says he realizes how people feel who are already paying taxes and then are ask ed to give to the United Appeal Here in Barrie we are very appreciative of the tnited Ap peal because government can not meet all our costs This year we are asking for 332000 know most people are already paying taxes but when you look at the work being done and how the principles of such clubs as the Kiwanis are being kept alive it all seems worth it There is problem out there in our community which touches us all in one way or another and we must help It is our obligation and our privilege to provide human and spiritual

private readingimprovement program disagree with your advice to the 17yearold son of collegecducaied parents who wan ted to learn cabinetmaking in vocational school instead of following his parents wishes for him to go to college You told him to get two years of college because it would make him better cabinetmaker and more confident and sophisticated person How can he be better cabinetmaker without practicing cabinetmaking How can be be more confident person without achieving success in the thing IIE wants to do And as for sophistication whatever that means how will it give him the selffulfillment he seems to be searching for Perhaps better advice would be Learn the trade you think will make you happy but see if you can learn it at junior college instead of vocational school Besides your shop courses take one or two classes in art business ac counting or some other liberal arts area In this way you not only give your parents some hope which may keep them off your back but you also prepare yourself to open your own shop and enter some other field if and when you get your fill of cabinetmaking You are going to hear plenty from your readers about that lousy answer you gaveso get ready to defend yourself or reverse your stand1H Dear BF You are right was wrong Im not going to attempt to defend myself The answer was bummer and more than 1000 people wrote to tell me so Their letters expressed sentiments ranging from Please rethink your advice to You gotta be living in cave Dont you know the college scene has changed Its no longer place where kids can hide out and postpone their entrance into the real world Nobody should consider college unless he wants very much to go and knows precisely what he is doing there So Ill take 20lashes with the wet noodle and call it day Dear Aim Landers What can do about husband who makes social conversation impossible Unless every state ment is loopercent accurate he corrects me right in front of everybody If happen to misquote person in the news or fail to get the exact ilerding or forget price or mispronounce name get called down and corrected Its humiliating This person who would have the world believe he has photographic memory cannot remember his own wedding anniversary his wifes birthday nor the birthdays of his mother or any of his children He is good husband in many ways but he has this one fault that drives me to distract ion Is there any way can cure himNo Name Please Dear NNP Probably not People who put others down in this manner are actually trying to put themselves up They are terribly
