TEEN TOPICS BEVERLEY ANDERSON Should the driving age be raised from 16? Six student at Bowmanville High School were asked this question during a survey at their school. They said: Beverly Anderson, grade ii: "No, I don't think that it should be raised. I think that people 16 years of age have wh sense of responsibility. There are some that don't, but I have to say that the majority of 16-year-olds are mature enough to understand the dangers of driving a car."

Venturers is a multi-ori- ented program for teen-aged boys that became official Oct, 21; yet its membership is estimated as close to 10,000. During its unofficial exist- ence for the last few years it has concentrated primarily on outdoors activities. And many of them would daunt all but the more ardent veteran outdoorsmen. Example: The Black Creek Venturers in Ontario's Hali- burton County last winter trekked into virgin bush for a weekend camping trip while temperatures dipped to 32 be- low zero. Example: Thirteen - year- old Bert Struik of Regina bicycled to Prince Albert, 220 miles north, seeking a camp- site for members of the Re- gina Venturers company.

Foy, Head of the Children's De- partment, McLaughlin Public Library. The Hunter and the Medicine Man (MacMillan) by Catherine Anthony Clark begins by a misty mountain lake in British Columbia. Eleven - year - old "Rick" Gale and his younger sister Anne, when riding up Spirit Mountain, enter @ strange new world of magic and adventure. They meet Nak-win, a young Indian boy, who tells them how the evil Medicine Man has cast @ spell over his Mother and has brought gloom to the Indians with his terrible curses. The children set out to find the Mighty Hunter, the only warrior strong enough to fight the Medicine Man's wick- ed magic. How they encounter many ob- stacles, both natural and super- natural, makes exciting read- ing. Mrs. Clark has made fine use of regional Mythology, in- terweaving legend with present day adventure. The attractive black-and- white drawings by Canadian author-artist Clare Bice are ex- actly right. The book has a strong story, well-seasoned with Morrison, referee-in-chief of the Indian lore, but the characters, are flat and the events loosely tied together.
