home having spent most of my working days for the last twelve years with older per sons i have more questions and perhaps fewer answers about how to grow old suc cessfully than i did before i began my em ployment at parkview during this time i have become more aware through enjoyable daily interac tion of the individuality and uniqeness of every elderly person whom i have had the privilege of learning to know most of us have a tendancy to categorize people we tend to say things like all young people are like that or every bodys doing it or all old people are forgetful and confused lam learning that one cannot categorize or stereotype any person or persons least of all perhaps the elderly some are healthy and strong and some are frail and weak most are optimistically cheerful and happy but some im sorry to say are bitter and pessimistic some continue to grow and live de veloping new interests and knowledge while some withdraw within themselves and their ever narrowing circles of interest result in what has been called a living death some possess satisfying faith and a vib rant hope while others succumb to feelings of insecurity despair and unbelief to be perfectly frank while most are en joyable and nice to be with others while we love them are difficult to like what then can you and i do to prepare for a successful old age let me offer a few suggestions whether we are 16 or 60 now is the time to prepare for our older years we should accept aging as a normal biological process common to all ages not something abnormal a disease or some thing to be feared cultivate good health habits dissipated and abused bodies and minds provide the ultimate alternative to growing older an early death or if old age is achieved poor health can make long life a burden exercise the mind and body especially perhaps the minduse it or lose it is a good maxim to remember dont be like the old man who replied to the question how are you by saying pretty good pretty good they tell me im losing my mind but that doesnt bother me i dont use it much anyway have- goals and a purpose for living these will change with the degree of your maturity but we need to give life flavor and usefulness develop a variety of in terests maintain a sense of humor and an opti mistic cheerful attitude see the best in others develop a sense of self worth learn to live with and accept yourself establish a faith in god and a hope for today tomorrow and the future confi dence and hope only in ones self becomes less satisfying as the body grows old many other things could be mentioned egwise financial planning suitable housing supportive family creative plan ning for continued personal growth meaningful activity lots of friends some one to love and to love us while most of the elements of satisfying aging are our own responsibility each of us can help our elderly friends and loved ones by respecting them by doing what we can to provide them with such practical things as suitable housing adequate incomes and recognizing them as useful and needed members of our communities stouffville society is going down the drain because it is spiritually sick dr graham tucker told the con gregation of christ church anglican stouffville sunday dr tucker head of a highly successful greater toronto program called opera tion bootstrap described the turbu lence within the workforce caused by the current economic crisis he noted that during the past year 50000 management jobs had been lost this he said had led to financial worries mar riage breakups and suicides to try and make some sense out of what is happen ing dr tucker holds discussions reg ularly with people in the business commun ity in an effort to see them through upset ting times in their lives its important he said for we as christ ians to get our values straight so we can cope with what is happening in our world today fundamental spiritual values are being violated he said because economic values have been placed ahead of human values all trust is gone the pastor stated people are tre ated as things to be used he said dr tucker said its not unusual for em ployees who have given twenty years ser vice to a company to be out in an hour its important he said to build a sense of community in the work force similarto what the japanese have done the speaker likened the economic situa tion today to a game of musical chairs when the music stops and you take the chairs away half are left standing he recommended the setting up of more chairs more jobs what is the churchs position in all this pastors he said are told to stay in a little spiritual box we have a selfish and a disintegrating society while the church sits on the sidelines minding its own busi ness he criticized this practice the church must mean more than one hour of worship every sunday he said it has to move into the work force funeral service stouffville why do you wear black all the time have you ever drop ped anyone can a person be buried in his backyard do caskets come in different shapes how much does a funeral cost were you nervous the first time is embalming necessary do ministers preside at all funerals can a person be buried in jeans and sneakers these were only a few of the questions asked of fay min- ton stouffville mortician during a recent visit to orchard park school mrs minton ex plained how she had grown up with the business her father the late le tim oneill had provided a similar service until his death the schools guest encouraged her young audience to visit the funeral home some time particularly those students who may be considering such a career as to the wearing of black she said the color of ones clothes is dictated by tradition but time is changing this she said a funeral direc tor in carrying out her his duties usually abides by the wishes of the family she ex plained she said its not unusual for per sonal keepsakes to be enclosed in the casket backyard burials are permitted but approval must first be obtained from the dept of health some graves are still dug by hand but most by tractor she said the cost of a funeral is dependent just clowning around the students of grades 1 and 2 at summitview school under the direction of staff teacher pirko eager presented an ex cellent assembly friday morning the program included music skits and dances two grade 2 lads who did a little clowning aroundmuch to the delight of the audience were michael glenn left hawthorne avenue and trevor bardell main street east jim thomas editors mail on the service de sired as high as you want to go she said on occasions a membcrof the fami ly will conduct a funeral rather than a minister some ask that no music be played they find music depressing she said the choice of clo thing is also up to the family if the de ceased seldom wore a dress or a suit then jeans may be preferred jewel lery she said is usually removed be fore burial ouite often mrs minton said a photo is provided this en ables a mortician to make the deceased as true to life as possible face col ouring can be diffi cult she explained but this instruction is included in the nine month training course a 15month apprenticeship is also required if you do all the work what does you husbsnd do asked one student to which mrs minton replied tactfully he helps me do all the work shares hope dear sir the renewal of the secondary educa tion review project handed down to us from the heights of the ministry of educa tion requires some comment from a person such as myself who has spent many years teaching in the serondary schools york region and who has spent about as many years as an osstf representative it is encouraging to note that there is to be greater emphasis on school atmosphere and discipline a study completed last year by district 11 york region osstf agrees with the reports recommendation for a code of student behaviour most teachers will look forward to the promised ministry document which will describe the processes which should be followed to ensure effective discipline and the ex pectation of the minister of education re garding discipline in the schools too often behavioural expectations become an idiosyncrasy of the individual teacher or school and fall apart in conflict with the views of individual parents which may not be practical in a large group situation standardization of expectations will help it is also encouraging that there would seem to be a clearer delineation in terms of the expectation of advanced general and basic programs current ministry guide lines make little differences between these programs and the new guidelines to be published beginning in 1983 which are expected to be more informative in this re gard the new diploma requirement will have the greatest impact on the system and its students the 16 compulsory credits will result in a very tight system with as much as 95 of students expected to opt for com pleting their high school in 4 years and be cause of the tightness of the new diploma requirements it will be necessary for stu dents to plan very carefully their entire secondary school program when they en ter in grade 9 this may result in a closer streaming of students however failure rates will mean that many students will need 5 years to com plete the diploma requirements will this mean that the drop out rates will increas- e or will it mean that there will be paren talpolitical pressure to lower standards and let more students through or will it mean that students will give up the objec tive of a diploma and just accumulate cre dits for their transcripts much will de pend on the reaction of parents and stu dents themselves the compulsory french credit will re sult in an extra 80000 students enrolled in french across the province where will the teachers proficient in the language come from how will these students who are having problems with literacy in english cope with an extralanguage the report and its proposals seems to be getting guarded approval from the educa tion community it may be that here along with the provisions for special education in bill 82 we have the blueprint for an im proved education system however bluep rints are of little use if funding is not pro vided to build a system which will work properly experience of our political mas ters at queens park during the last few years has not been encouraging in this re gard sincerely tony bulson communications officer district 11 osstf 8 yonge street north aurora vivian flo btllanlraa 9 nursery supervision and
