t vi the stoufrvmi trisun tkvfey fdsray i 1965 editorial the golden desire janice smith gr 11 the natives called it frith the germans fredn the romans pax the french paix but what do we call it listen can you hear it if you cant hear it then maybe it looks like the rubble of london after a bombing the hillside of a vermont farm in the midst of summer empty army barracks or he expression on a mothers face after her sons graduation from university it is a harmony neutrality tranquillity an armistice a cessation of war or hostilities yes it is peace peace of the world of nature of mankind of the innerself no matter what the language or the means of expression peace remains as the golden desire of man woman and child but what does peace really consist of for thousands of years periods of war have alternated with periods of peace in some situations equal time has been passed at both war and peace at the termination of one of these periods a general or president would sign a peace treaty and from here on in there was to be freedom from dis turbance this was the physical aspect of peace no guns no blood no fighting but in order for peace to succeed it must go much farther than the mere act of disarmament people must have an inner peace an inner satisfaction in order to bring about a justified world peace this emotional aspect of peace is the most important and necessary in any situation if a person is at peace of mind he will therefore pass this feeling unto other people a person possessed by hate will allow this plant of hate to grow into a blooming obsession until finally he has become so powerful that he has the multitudes following him an example of such an incident might be the actions of hitler during the second world war peace has its necessities a physical need and an emotional need the physical need relatively simple com pared to the more complex frustrating emotional need when both of these are satisfied a perfect world results neither of these will ever ever be satisfied advocates of peace state that mankind naturally longs for this security and tranquility that the civilian flourishes in a peacetime defenders of war claim that during a time of world uneasiness strength of character and manliness are created in an individual much like the spartans the judeochristian concept of peace is found in the commandment thou shalt not kill whatever the stand taken on peace by any group it has always been the ideal of writers it has been glorified built up praised through the ages peace is superior to war cicero summed it up this way i prefer the most unjust peace to the justest war that was ever waged this golden desire has been brought about and main tained in many different ways in pioneer days the white flag of truce was accepted the indians smoked the peace- pipe and in the east the offering of an olive branch was accepted the wounds of man were soothed by turning swords into ploughshares in order to outlaw war the first real maintenance of peace came with the christian church during the so years war a balance of power was used after the 1st world war the league of nations the 2nd world war the united nations the united nations was created more or less by necessity with the atomic bomb as an outlet the whole world was in danger at any time perhaps you might think of peace in an entirely diff erent phase the tv commercials do it up really good you know the story of the young housewife whos madly cleaning away at her rug when all of a sudden shes over taken by this intense headache its just about driving her crazy shes going mad what is she ever going to do then she remembers the bufferin she trots off to the cabinet takes a bufferin and in all of 5 seconds she is the sweet generous housewife she was in the beginning now at peace with herself if only the worlds problems could be solved by taking a bufferin peace is serious but happy mysterious yet so simple difficult to achieve yet so very easy to lose disraeli once said peace with honour lamartine peace at any price cromwell peace hath her victories no less renown then war when we put these statements together we have ac complished a peace between english and french white and black east and west our peace on earth must be worth living it must be for all time are you at peace do you really want peace if your answer is yes then in the words of president kennedy ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country high school news chiropractic atewpoint arthritis the great crippler part 1 for hall a

ontario january 23th 1965 dear editor i would like to answer alan lees letter concerning his per sonal views on christmas and easter exams i dont disagree with him on all points but a few puzzle me ard of course i have found other solutions in his first point he said most students cram the night before the exams and forget all the day after this night before cramming is a fact and who doesnt do it however not all can be learned in those few short hours and only those who know their work relatively well before hand benefit for those who havent failure is usually the lesuli you say that all is for gotten after an exam for those who cram it may seem that way but actually isnt it a men tal block that sets in iust after the pressure is released this is only temporary and actually enly the most trifle details escape that which is important and wellstressed in your mind will return very quickly if the need arises in your second point you say that too many students worry and as a result give up study ing these periods of pressure are good for all of us they are necessary and prepare us for trying periods in our life to come for those who give up is this not a flaw in their char acter they will never be able to carry themselves through a difficult time if they just give up you say that the short exams do not cover the subject suffici ently you are right they do not cover all but this is not their purpose spotchecking is the only way to test a student with out having him or her sit down for perhaps a whole day to write out every little point how could a student pass by luck lots of students can pick out exam questions but they are on ly successful if they know and understand the work well throughout and thus can pick out the emphatic points your last point is a true fault however every system does have flaws if a person has a bad day or misses an exam the teachers can sense this they are not blind to our class parti cipation your remedy for exams scunds very good but is this plan not carried on in most schools anyway it is in ours we write class period tests at three to four week intervals in most subjects but this is not enough this would cut the sub jects up into little areas and there would be no chance to link them together until june exams roll around you yourself admit the irresponsibility of some students cant you see the disaster if septembers work was disregarded until june the december and march exams are merely dress rehearsals for the big finals their results mean something to a student when they are written with blue or red ink as the case may be on a report card taken home for parental approval the class tests do not produce the spur that somp students seem to reed your last point is not of my concern only your school official can alter the time when your exams are written usually both the teachers and students concerns are considered when this is being planned and the present exam times which come almost at the same time for most schools is acceptable when do you suggest other than never last year we wrote both sets one week after christ mas and easter holidays what a horrible mixup both teachers and students were unhappy i am a grade thirteen student at uxbridge secondary school i enjoy your school news in the tribune and congratulate you on the interesting variety of topics on which your editorials are written you must have an interesting student body good luck in the future sincerely an uxbridgite keeping a secret from some people is like trying to smuggle daylight past a rooster we like the story about little
