rg 1 the stouffviue tribune twjav u 30 1963 editorial a practical message the premarital problems faced by todays young people and related jsues that must be met by their parents presents a topic of daily dis cussion for columnists in hundreds of newspapers magazines and period icals too many we feel take a stand not for what they personally believe but for the fame or notoriety that they may acquire through unfounded facts or the power of suggestion many ministers who could and hould place more stress on the sub ject of teenage love and marriage tend to shy away from the topic the reason may be that some members of congregations might consider such nermons to be distasteful bold and even vulgar in many churches there are too few young people in attend ance and the words of the message are wasted xext sunday pastor gordon t gooderham of the stouffville baptist church will set a precedent here by directing an entire series of sermons on the subject of love courtship and marriage he will deal not only with the premarital problems of teen- town to have h on june 8th stouffville will com plete a fouryearold agreement with the department of highways and in no doing will take over jurisdiction of that part of highway 47 within the town limits four years ago stouff- villes main street was in a bad state of disrepair highway authorities in dicated it would be some time before anything could be done for improve ment but stouffville council agreed to take over the portion within the municipality once a new road was built this agreement brought im mediate action the highways de partment has proved most coopera tive in completing some fringe work such as draining which they were not obliged to do and the time has now come for the change the new road has been fully completed now for tome time street approaches have been widened and improved as well s a number of private entrances all at no expense to the town henceforth stouffville will have full jurisdiction over the street so far as parking building setbacks and any other permits required we could sell we have just recently come through a federal election when much tress was laid on the matter of world trade in addition we are constantly hearing much about the amount of goods on our store shelves labelled made in japan actually we cana dians sell a great deal more to the japanese than they sell to us despite what we see in our stores canadian goods going to japan are more in the staple variety which are not seen so frequently by the ordinary citizen however it appears we could be selling even more to japan than we on a timely tooic agers but also with the responsibil ities of parents the topic for sunday june 2nd will be should teenagers be allowed to go steady the ser vice is at 730 pm four sermons on similar subjects will follow the issues that mr gooderham will discuss deal with young people and parents not in other towns cities and communities but right here in stouffville we feel that it is high time that the facts and figures per taining to this important subject ar laid fairly and squarely on the line we would much rather hear this message from a church pulpit than read of the results in a daily love lorn column the latter would seem to be the source of our learning today pastor gooderham in taking up this torch may hurt a few feelings sep on a few toes and even create ome controversy but his message will have meaning far different from the trash that is available every day for a dime on many magazine racks its time the church abolished its hush- hush attitude on sex once taboo it is now more openly discussed in public but seldom discussed from the pulpit- ighway jurisdiction the cost situation has been im proved this year from what it was when the original arrangement was agreed upon the highways depart ment will pay a grant of 90 on all maintenance work on the road this is an increase from 75 the depart ment already pays 50 of all other road costs in town and 80 of all bridge costs the same grant would hold for future rebuilding when such time arrives the last road through town lasted for thirty years stouffville will henceforth do all the snowplowing on the highway as well as sanding but with the generous grant allowed believe the cost will be much less than paying the high ways department to do the work while the highways minister could possibly exercise power to force a municipality to assume its own highway portion council has believed that the present amicable arrange ment to be much the better method richmond hill aurora and uxbridge are neighboring communities with similar arrangements while mark- ham council has so far refused to go along more to japan are a booklet entitled the japan ese market for canadian products which recently came to our desk makes this point canada does not share in the japanese market of high volume im ports such as petroleum and paper vegetables engineering instruments and others it is true we are the no 1 supplier of wheat asbestos and some other minerals and 2nd in the supply of scrap iron and steel tt is suggested that canada might give greater attention to the market potential for manufactured goods in japan choice of political candidates not too selective something that should be the concern of all political parties and which might be food for private thought prior to the next election is some better method for selecting can didates at the present time political candidates are chosen for a variety of reasons many of them having little relationship to the requirements of the office personal ambition is one reason knowing the right people and having some ready campaign money is an other being prominent in some sport something totally unrelated all these play a part in the present selection system we dont think any of these rea sons are good enough and definitely not if there is to be any hope of in creasing the quality of our represen tation we would think that the par ties might inaugurate some long- range plan for grooming good men as future candidates each riding should be looked over carefully and the parties should look one or two elections ahead it almost seems a necessity that future members should be bilingual and certainly any future party leaders are going to have to be a knowledge of economics political history and similar subjects is desirable and we are sure that many of the candidates in most recent elections were lacking in these qualifications in years to come it should be possible to select a candidate who would be able to contribute to par liament more than just his presence which is about all too many have to offer if a system of withinparty schooling resulted in an improved breed of members were sure no one will

smiiey whoever said automation offers was right more leisure time my the way- anne koss during the past nine months the senior students in our schools have been confronted with the very pressing and in many cases overwhelming necessity lor a fulltime homework schedule in order to approach grade xiii exams with any degree of confidence with final exam time at hand students of every grade of senior elementary and high school level are now assessing the value of homework done or left undone during the past term the assignment of homework is and always has been a contentious subject to teachers parents and of course students the pros and eons are forever being debated and no accept able precise rule as to the value of a little or a lot of home study has ever been resolved the canadian education association has just issued a report on the state of homework across canada referring to children in the elementary schools it said these children are at a period when vital energies are largely consumed in physical development and consequently they must have time for rest and recreation the school has no excuse for infringing upon the right of children to sufficient time lor sleep and play and the right of the home to direct their activities outside of school hours there can be no doubt that both of these rights are seriously encroached upon by the prescription of homework illchosen in character and excessive in quantity for pupils in grades 1 to 6 there is ample time during the school day to engage in the necessary activities satisfactorily without burdening them with additional school work to be done at home where homework is assigned in the later elementary grades it is usually urged that it be used only to strengthen the pupils grasp of what has been taught that it not be excessive and that it should not involve learning new material whatever the official view of homework at the higli school level most students would agree that the load is a heavy one increasing year by year until at grade xiii there is a feverish haste to cram the absorption of information into practically every waking hour some parents and most teach ers would perhaps doubt the validity of this conviction but whether the work is actually undertaken or not homework looms as a major threat in the everyday life of the high school student it is generally conceded that a senior student who does less than three hours homework every day can expect to find himself on the slippery path to eventual failure this of course makes the work of a high school student in excess of eight hours- more than that of a good many parents regardless of the ability of the individual student 1o assimilate information homework is usually justified by the need to establish good study habits considered essential to success in later years what bugs conscientious students however is the failure of many teachers to check completed assignments which negates the value of the work for him and this practice at the same time encourages those who are less scrupulous to the false assumption of academic security no matter to which school of thought we belong more or less homework for our children the assignment of extra curricular activity has the backing of tradition and like many other inevitables is here to stay however when it reaches the point where social and cultural development of our young people is seriously threathened then we should call for a change life is more than all work even in our youth every sucess to you who write exams may all your homework be of

psalm the longest of them all is a cleverly written acrostic with each of the twentytwo letters of the hebrew alphabet making the in itial letter of eight successive verses this means that the first eight verses begin with the hebrew letter aleph and go on through the alphabet thus ma king one hundred and seventy- six verses in all the major sub ject is the scriptures which arc mentioned in almost every verse although to see this one must notice that the idea is contained in 10 different words dr dickson reminds us what these are 1 the law or doc trine that signifies the lords will to be
