If a child is not going to stay a: eve long enough to use what he learns,
then why teach him. anything."
In our own' high school, Driver Training is offered as an extra.
curricular activity and can' only accommodate 40 students.' It means
that a pupil may have to wait a year or more before he can get into
'cher-ofthe=two sessions -offered each -year.
DANGEROUS INTERRUPTIONS1
No doubt Ontario Hdro,officials are deeply concerned about the•
six to eight hour interruption in service last Tuesdaynight and Wed-
nesday morning. I'f they aren't they, should . be:
Six hours' on a cold winter's night is. a long time to be without
hydro, ;when one considers that virtually every 'home in the entire area
• is'.vitaIly dependent on this service. The 'furnace'or electrical .heating
units cease to function:; preparation of food becomes' impossible in
• many homes; refrigeration fails in commercial' plants and storage
depots:; water pressure becomes 'non-existent in rural'homes.
Coming as it did at 41 p.m.., the hardship for most local families

Not so with those folks who . operate businesses and services .de-

fuel oil in his buil in5a..,t._oe�ea-te_a: p rtive ,smag.-G.rneers were can-

had to worry about lack of heat. or ventilation. Fortunately',' our .hos-

when the hydro failed'. Otherwise lives would 'have been en.=danger.
