Certainly there are lots of youth — of both sexes — who fit into this pat- tern. They don't care what happens as long as it doesn't happen to them and even then they aren't too concerned. But youth isn't all bad and despite the' individual exiiiiprel to which we all can point, , youth collectively does a pretty good job in this community. TeenL Twenty is an example. The dance which the members themselves run a weekly basis makes it possible for the organization to make regufar contributions to a host of worth while projects — the hospital, the Lions Park, the Scouts program, to mention but a few. Egmondvilie Rovers are planning a car rally next weekend. A successful rally competition provides an outlet for those interested as every young lad is in handling cars. But the rally is' more than an outlet. It sets up standards which contribute to the ability of those ' taking part. Success in a properly con- ducted car rally requires a high degree of common sense and demands much more than a heavy foot on the accelera- tor. Other young people, this year like oth- er years have been engaged for months past in 4H activities learning not only the skills which only practise can bring but also an awareness of their responsi- bilities in and to their community. The walk which SDHS students are arranging this week is another activity in which,youth is channelling its energ- ies to advantage. As a result a substant- ial gift will be available for assistance in areas where need is great. Most, if not all of these activities are carried, on without the benefit of adult assistance, and perhaps that is the way it should be. On the other hand there are many programs with which some direction and leadership is not only desirable but necessary. This is particularly true in Guide and Scout and minor sports pro- grams. Youth isn't by any means all bad. Maybe by the same token those of us past 'the youth age aren't all that good either. We each have roles to play in reaching a common understanding.

In modern times, the feudal baron is re- placed by Administrator whose allegiance is to the group who gave him the appointment; the group from whom he draws his pay cheque. We should never forget that the difference between a Dem- ocracy and a Dictatorship is only this: Democracy — the Public Official being the Servant of the People; Dictatorship — the Pub- lic Official being Master of the People. ' As far as Seaforth is concern- ed, we must all become alive to the fact that Regional Govern- ment can mean the complete and total loss of 'our preferred way of living. There are very few people living in Seaforth be- cause they have to; the majority of our citizens Hire here because • they like Seaforth better than the- city or the farm. We have a distinct 'culture Which is sat- isfying and , well worth while hanging onto. Yet, this could all be distroyed by one move of a Regional Governor. The con- construction at Seaforth of a giant industrial facility would bring with it all the discontent and unpleasant social upheaval so reminiscient of a virulent bac- teria in the body that the body could be laid low, perhaps per- manently destroyed and certain- ly our local culture and our pre- ferred society would be very very sick, The power" to locate giant industrial facilities would be' in the hands of a remote Re- gional Governor and we would have absolutely 'no say in the matter. We could so easily lose all that we and our forbearers have striven for, that is, the creation of a decent place to live. e first signs are already With* air; one has only to look at the problems being met by the enlarged system of Edueat- The corner stones of the new Methodist Church in Hensall, were formerally laid on the Bir- thday.

Well, I don't know. John D. Rockefeller III, who chaired the committee which brought in the report, might feel that a world- wide birth control drive is the answer to the world's problems, but frankly I disagree. I think a more charitable at- titude on the part of all man-' kind would do more than any old supply of birth control pills to keep the world on even keel. But then the milk Of human kindness probably isn't as , de- pendable as those little white or pink or yellow pills so who can really object to Rockefeller's proposal after all: Maybe it is the ONLY thing to do. nges to which Mr. n referred probably such matters as Re- nment and loss of f our affairs.

It started Friday. Somebody called the principal at the school at 8 a.m. and said there was a bomb planted in the building. Very sensibly, he kicked all the students out of the plant; and kept all the teachers in it. It was a rather brutal, but effici- ent, way of pointing out who was dispensable in the system. Hordes of police and fire- , men added to the excitement. The, teachers were twittering like swallows, making bad jokes about ticking brief cases and other hilarious objects. As an old fighter pilot, who had. bombed, 'and had been bombed in more ways than 'one. I thought I should set a good, example, sb settled myself in a corner of the staff room and read poetry Not a soul was im- pressed, which was rather de- pressing. - The kids had a ball. It was like being locked out of jail. The smokers gathered in their outside smoking bay and reefed away on the weed as though it were going out of style. A num- ber of young ladies, locked out of the school on a cold, windy day and. lightly clad, climbed into cars with their boy friends to "keep warm." The pool-room crowd- headed straight down town. Eventually, the school was cleared and we got a ,sort of half-holiday, while the police searched the building. Every- one rather enjoyed the break in . routine except myself. To some- one who is perfectly organized, such a disruption is very disrup- ting. It was a fairly hair-raising day for the teachers in charge of the school's annual musical comedy, to be presented that night. Would there be any aud- ience, with the local radio stat- ion announcing, hourly, that there might be a bomb in the school? Needless to say, there was no bomb, and there was a huge aud- ience, and the musical, fortunat- ely, was anything but a bomb. IfaPPY ending. Who made the phone call? Was it a kid who had been baw- led out the day before? Was.it a crank? Was t a tax payer driven beyond the brink? Nobody knows, but it will come tut some day. Well, nothing wrong with that, you say.

A big, ugly, yellow tomcat loi- tering in the vicinity when I threw the little monster outside in the morning underlined the point. We had, a visitor Sunday night who stayed up talking until 3 a.m. I arrived at work Monday morning physically and emotion- ally ravaged. And who was there?

In the event of improved economic development, some experts estimate a decline in fertility with , the result that the world population could be held to • 7,000,000,000 by the start of the 22nd century. After digesting those facts and figures for a while, one could almost conclude it is as great am offence to society to go on living after an expected age as it is to give birth to more than two. children per family! Statistics are so hard, cold and impersonal. The' report goes on to give the happy news that if babies are discouraged "with all possible vigor" the world population would be kept as low as 6,000,000,000 or even 5,500r 000,000 people. The world has the means, the report continues, to achieve this tremendous feat. The ''pill and the intrauterine device will take the place of God in future, gen- erations. And why are too many babies worse than no babies at all? Ac- cording to the report, babies grow into people and too many people cause pollution, congest- ion, urban sprawl, psychological ailments, widespread famine, increased illiteracy, unemploy- ment, squalor and unrest which threatens the very foundations of public order.

You know the kind I mean. Last year one- third of all newspaper column- ists died of stomach ulcers, or something like that. Not too up- setting to the average school teacher, but if you happen to be a newspaper columnist with a bit of a belly ache, you begin to wonder. This latest batch of statistics doesn't really bother me too much personally but I find them rather insulting to the human race in general. They have to do with world-wide birth con- trol efforts now under study by the United Nations. In their excitement to keep the world's population- from reaching 7,500,000,000 by the year 2,000, a group ,of Americ- ans has suggested that the UN name a commissioner for pop- ulation. His main work would be to curb' the natural desires men and women have for each other, or to push family plann- ing at them whether they under- stand it or not. You think that is unlikely.
