ttft 2 the stoufryilie tribjni lfen4ty jom 21 j962 editorial doukhobor children playing house how many will be back this week will see the end of another school year for all high school students with exception of those who will be writing grade 13 examinations for some it may be the end of schooling entirely edu cation experts have expressed the view that the dropout problem which has been so prevalent now for a num ber of years is on the wane they claim that more students are staying in school jobs have been harder to come by and the standards required by the employers there are have risen steadily added to these factual circumstances has been a campaign by all print media and through the schools themselves pointing out the error of leaving school too soon this dropout problem has been prevalent throughout the whole of canada and a number of students have been lured away from stouff- ville high school each year by job attraction we are no exception last years figures oointed out that of every 100 canadian boys and girls who entered grade nine only nine would enter university and of the nine who do go to university only six would graduate university au thorities estimate that about 30 per cent of students have the mental ability to profit from four years at college adding up the total number attending college it then appears that less than onethird of those who should be receiving higher education are availing themselves of it we believe that parents still play the chief role in helping students to stay at their studies if a student comes from a home with poor per sonal relationships and little respect for formal education he is not likely to remain in school true the par ents do not share the total blame or responsibility there can be a lack of motivation in school courses poss ibly they dont interest a student or fail to present a challenge to a bright student this can lead to boredom and an inclination to leave school schools should not be criticized for endeavoring to provide the widest opportunity possible and we recog nize the difficulty and cost which this problem can present particularly in smaller high schools such as our own there is one final reason for students dropping out but we con sider it last that is the lack of money while schooling on the sec ondary level is largely free the need of a family to have an additional breadwinner can be cause for a drop out nonetheless we believe that in the last few years it has been the lure of high wages rather than any family distress which has caused many students to go to work next september should give a good indication if this trend has changed as many believe it has we have a good high school in stouffville we are proud of it and believe it offers a good program of studies we hope that the many new students who will be stepping through its doors for the first time this fall as well as those who have spent a year or two there appreciate this fact and make the most of their great opportunity underage smokers r last week we noticed a young stouffville lad puffing laboriously on a cigarette his nose was twitching like that of a nervous cottontail as he attempted to inhale the smoke with the selfsatisfied air of a mature adult to put an inquisitive mind at rest we were prompted to question the boys age he replied that he was 13 although he could have passed for ten years the sale of smokes to boys and girls under the age of 18 years is illegal and charges can be laid under chapt 243 of the minor protections act it reads in part as follows no person shall either directly or indi rectly sell furnish or give to a child under the age of 18 years cigarettes cigars or tobacco in any form the berry season a season which is looked for ward to by almost everyone whether they are big eaters or small is with us again the berry season here in stouffville we are blessed with an abundance of this fruit the strawberries are here and once they begin the other delectable cousins in this family are soon to follow raspberries blueberries and blackberries we look on strawber ries as holding all the sweetness of early summer confirmed berry lov ers take this sweetness in a variety of ways some like them eaten fresh and raw some swimming in cream fine for such an offense can range from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 50 the law would appear to place the onus squarely on the head of the seller it is no secret that dozens of boys and many girls too in stouff ville are smoking at 16 and 17 in this respect stouffville is no different than any other town across the pro vince it is fine and dandy to write in these laws but it certainly is another thing to enforce them police are the first to admit that few charges under this act are ever laid perhaps such regulations have become archaic perhaps there is a need for some re vision certainly in its present form the law is being broken every day of the week is on again some just sprinkled with sugar and weve been told a dash of lemon is alright although weve yet to try this out they can also play a big part in such palatable dishes as shortcake muffins tarts and tea cake berries are real special and their juice always seems to bring a feeling of contentment and good humour most cooks can give the family morale a real lift with a berry creation smothered in gobs of whip ped cream only a whisper around the table that the meal is to be topped off in this exciting way brings smiles to every face are they a thing of the past quilting bees were an important adjunct of life in earlier ontario they rendered a variety of services the original one of course was to provide households with ample bed covering each housewife would carefully save up all scraps of cloth dye them into different hues and cut tnem into pieces for the quilting it was a social event as a house wife invited her neighbors in for a bee needles would move quickly and the tongues wag almost as rapidly many reputations were made or un made at quilting bees quilting bees always were a method used by women to earn money for church or charitable work they would put their best efforts into making the best possible product raffles may then have been technical ly illegal even as now but the women paid no heed they would either raffle or perhaps more ethically auction the quilts putting the proceeds to good use there are homes in ontario where some of these old quilts are prized heirlooms having withstood a half century or more of use they were both durable and effective in keeping warm though some were so heavy as to require a cpnscious effort to turn over in bed 1 rje touffmlle rtbmu estabushxd u a v nolan son publishers member of the canadian weekly newspaper associati6n and the ontario

her mom she also tried a grade seven piano exam with accom panying panic she also went picking strawberries for a far mer and made 7 04 she also lost her christmas watch while swimming and was cut off

human beings despite what his eyes and ears tell him when this mutual realization begins to work communication quickens the kids decide that this man or woman is actually concerned with improving their ability and knowledge not just making life miserable for them the teacher decides that most of these kids are doing their best in the face of their private fears and furores their domes tic upsets their love affairs and their complicated human nat ures its a pleasant thing and a good thing in some cases it is the only good and warm re lationship in the lives of both however well explore i that work at his piano every morn- th tlme to get back to ing he got up at seven to prac tise and added another couple of hours later in the day all his saturdays were taken up by a trip to the city for his lesson as a result he missed a lot of parties and ski meets and other adolescent fun but he wasnt feeling any pain when the re sults of his grade 10 piano exam arrived this week and he learn ed hed received the fairly fan tastic mark of 90 which threw his old lady into a state of near- hysteria and his old man into a dangerous case of parental pride i bade farewell to my students at school and it was an emotion al ordeal on the last day of school some benevolent old fairy waves a magic wand the grim lipped teacher suddenly be comes a tenderhearted old trout who wasnt so bad after all the sullen students the lazy louts even the class cutups arc sud denly transformed into a group of the nicest youngsters you could meet and when they sing for hes a jolly good fellow and pre sent you with a beautiful shirt and tie and those who are leav ing school come up and shake hands with you and some little girl waits until the others have gone and tearfully blurts out at you thanks for a wonder ful year sir and some dread ful boy who has harassed you all year says sure hope i have you next year sir its pretty hard to maintain the god like imperturbability of the teacher maybe im just imagining things and i certainly wouldnt come out with it back in febru ary but i think theres a spe cial bond between young people and their teachers not all of the kids feel it and some teach ers dont but its there and al though different its just as real as the bond between parents and their children with the students i think its a slow realization that the teach er li a human being all evi dence to the contrary and with the chaos at the smileys we bought a new house this month twelve dollars down and 12 dol lars a day for life before the ink was dry on the contract the old woman was waving sample of linoleum wall paper and drapery at me demanding an opinion as always i remarked equab ly about each sample that looks pretty good to me this sensible reasonable co operat ive attitude for some reason in furiates her you dont even care she howls youd live in a pigpen have you no taste no desire to make your home decent by this time i am thoroughly cowed i havent the nerve to say what i think that the place looks fine the way it is and any way we cant afford it so i point to one of the little squares and suggest how about that nice green there it turns out to be turquoise and

had a brief visit with m mother mho is happily settled in a nursing home in norwich ontario i had flown east in a tca plane which was a thrilling experience but in my impatience to call on mother i had not brought her a bouquet mother was so glad to see me but i could not remember ever arriving before without a little present ot flowers or a plant i resolved to give her a tardy gift early my first morning i looked for a florist but could not find one so i decided to search for some gardener in norwich from whom i could buy a bouquet quite near the nursing home i caught a glimpse of a row of iris clumps of many different shades an older man had just finished cutting a bouquet and his wife got out of the car parked in his driveway urging him to hurry i realized his cut flowers were for someone else but perhaps he wouldnt mind me a perfect stranger asking him if i could come back later in the day to purchase some it is he listened to my request and his prompt answer was we dont sell bouquets around here we give em such generosity took my breath away he and his wife suggested i call at seven oclock that evening i felt a little shy about it but accepted this invitation when i arrived i received one of the most colorful fragrant bouquets i have ever seen twenty dif ferent stems of iris each one different there are a few purple dwaif ins in our garden but i had for gotten the amazing variety in shades of iris the poor mans orchid the loely dark blue wild iris quebecs provincial flower is one of our most strik ing wild flowers but here were blue light and dark purple el- low brown wine peach and pure white blooms what wealth of colour when i was leaving the gar- doners wife showed me her spe cial plants beautiful madonna lilies at the corner ot their lot an immense bleeding heart gent ly waved its branches in the breeze with feathery leaves and fairylike blossoms when i ad mired it the wife explained one of my neighbors gave me that plant and it has done well then she added we gardeners receive our gifts of sun and rain and the good earth and so- when a friend gives me some plants i always say thank you ill put them in right away and take good care of them i cant plant my lovely iris bouquet but i can say a very slnceie thank you you have been so kind to me a stranger i answered its almost as much fun to give flowers to a person who appreciates them as it is to grow them theres nothing gives me more pleasure than to know a sick person is going to enjoy a gift from my flower bed the old gardener said frankly you just come round next time you come all the way from winnipeg to visit your mother and well have another bouquet ready for you and her she added with a f i lendly smile thank god for generous gar deners i thought as i departed with my lovely gift bouquet on the farm front a a wall agricultural rep- iesentatic for york county haying is going quite well this year withfairly good cur ing weather yields will be down fiom last years bumper crops but if the weather holds quality will be good and yields should be adequate with to days good equipment saving hay is much simpler than it used to be but i still find many farmers with an oppn mind and looking at new machines that might do the job better theie is some interest in flail forage harvesters ior cutting and con ditioning as an alternative to mowing and crushing the flail harvester has some advantages from a test in ohio flail cut alfalfa had dried to 28 by the end of the second day in the same time crushed hay had dried to 41 and hay that was not conditioned still had 72 moistuie the flail harvested hay dried faster than hay prepared in any other way but there are some drawbacks too losses of cut stems and leaves were higher and if the hay was rained on it had to be turned before baling it was found that the harvester worked best when it was used at a fair ly high forward speed and low rotor speed the rule of thumb is to increase forward speed and decrease rotor speed until the machine is operating at a point just short of plugging some of the disappointing hay yields this year may be due to dry weather or another cause may be low fertility the very high yields in 19g1 may have lowered fertility enough to af fect this yeais crop i have seen several fields of alfalfa showing a potash deficiency small white dots or marks on the edges of the leaves is almost a sure sign alfalfa needs pot- ash to maintain strong roots poor root systems result in winter killing low fertility should be corrected as soon as the hay is taken off the second cut will yield better and the plants will go into the winter stronger on loam or sandy loam soils 5 20 20 could be broadcast at up to 300 lbs per acre clay soils should get 5 20- 10 at the same rate and joy in
