Scott Mat Isaac Maternity Wear AT THE SEPARATE SHOPPE MAW CORNER CUNTON OPEN 24 RAI. CLOSED WEDNESDAYS p by Elaine Townshend - String Art Whenever a young child undertakes something in art, he usually wants to see the results quickly. String art gives him thk and an interesting introduCtion to printing. Materials: --several strands of ordinary string. --different colors of liquid paint (tempra, based). --I sheet of fairly reasonable size. Instructions: 1. Lay some newspapers over tfte Surface on work. • • 2. Dip a strand of string in the paint then simply tell the child to place it on the paper. Immediately.a line will come and the child can make a realistic picture or simply —fool around". 3. To keep the paint clean and to save,.unwanted colours on the paper", have a geperate string for every colour the child uses. Art, which for the child is synonymous with play, is both a form of communication and a means of expression of feelings which -ought to permeate the whole curriculum and life of the school, A society which neglects or despis-es it is dangerously 'sick. It affects or should affect all aspects of our life from the design of commonplace articles of everyday life to, the highest forms of individual expression," The statement above is taken from the Plowden Report of primary education in England. Educators, parents and anyone working with young children in Canada%hould carefully examine it in relation to the way we educate our children. The arts (to include yisual art, music and theatre) in Canadian educational systems is still treated as a frill. Whenever,there is an economic pinch, it is the arts which are first to feel the effects. Even atihe best of times the arts in education are given such low budgets as to*ke the job of running a good arts program almost impossible. Not only is this lack of support evidenced in poor budgets, it is also demonstrated in small numbers of art, drama and music teachers hired to do the work in schools. The average classroom /teacher is an extremely talented and versatile person, but it takes a highly trained art specialist to run an 'art program. Even if teachers were provided with sufficient numbers of inserviee instructors, some te'achers could learn; but this is not the case. • Until school systems realize the absolute importance of the arts, we will continue to live in ugly houses and apartment -buildings, our intelligence and senses will be bombarded by ugly advertisement and our lands and rivers will become even more polluted and destroyed. And because of this we must indeed realize that our society is dangerously sick.

I write this column. Either I've suddenly become allergic to my typewriter, or I've developed a case of man's pesky ailment known as the common cold, Friends offer remedies, such as nasal spray for my congested nose; lozenges for my irritated throat ,and suppressants for my cough. Even the traditional chicken soup is mentioned. As someone shoves a plate of food at me, she explains, "Remember you should feed a cold and starve a Someone' fever.", else usually 'Willis. 'Rest in "bed, drink plenty of liquids and take aspirins.on. In a day or two, your cold will be g „ , At the height of my complaints. my mother prescribed a visit to the doctor. But I assured her I wasn't that sick. One friend insisted that Vitamin C worked wonders against a cold. "if you had taken Vitamin C. regularly, you wouldn't have that nasty cold, ". he admonished me. just grunted at him. ,,, While leafing through a Readers' Digest. however, I noticed the section entitled "News From The World Of Medicine." One of its reports supported my friend's opinion A scientific test using Canadian 'soldiers, who were on manoeuvres in the North, showed that large daily doses of Vitamin C cut the number of colds in "half. Furthermore, the Vitamin C users, who did contract colds, suffered less from the usual symptoms of eadaches, fevers and fatigue. I was prepare to rush out and buy a hottle of Vitamin tablets. This morning's newspaper headline stopped me: "Study card party and dance to be held at a later date. Mrs. Taylor adjourned the ,Allows Vitamin, C of little in fighting cold";."' Man still hasn't discovered.a curc,,,for the common cold, Considering the wondrous breakthroughs he has achieved in medicine, it seems strange that a little illness like a cold , could stump him. He's working on it, though. The public shouldn't complain; we owe a great deal 'to the medical scientists, who wage an' endless battle against disease. They strive to improve our health, and someday they'll probably conquer that pesky ailment called the common cold. Although we regard a cold as a trivial sickness, we should consider that, if unchecked, it can lead to more serious complications, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. A Healthful. Living Digest lists several hints to help us evade colds.Avoid drafts, chills and wet feet. Indoors you should be lightly 'clad; outdoors you should be warmly clothed. Wear a hat except in the midsummer months. Don't wet your hair before you leave the house in the morning, especially in cold weather. Be certain you receive sufficient sleep and rest, because fatigue lessens your powers of resistance. ' • How many of those precautions do you practice? How often do you forget? When you're in a hurry, buttoning coats and zipping boots seems to take a long time. You're tempted to grab a jacket and to dash for the car. I hesitate to admit the number of trips I make to town wearing shoes instead of boots during the winter. Sometimes the snow is piled higher than I presumed. As far as a hat is concerned, I haven't worn one for years. After such a confession, I shouldn't 'complain. Someone might suggest that it's my own fault. Besides my sniffles, coughs and sneezes will gradually decrease, and I'll survive my annual bout with the common cold. meeting.

Mrs. Lorne Dale gave the. motto L'VVerld Affairs. are .our Affairs". Mrs. Andrew Crozier introduced.' the . guest speaker, John Baker, Public Relations Officer, -C'anadian. Legion No. 156. Mr. Baker spoke on Citizenship. . "What . • is Citizenship ?" What is a Citizen? when referring to a citizen, we usually mean an inhabitant .of city, town or the country. There arc' good citizens and there are bad citizens. We are naturally talking about a good citizen and what constitutes a good citizen. There are three basic attributes to ' being a good citizen; fairness,. honesty, and tolerance. A good citizen is honest in • all his or her dealings and should not be afraid to stick up for what they believe to he right, but at the sante time. should not three their opinions on someone else. Be fair, for it must be remembered that most individuals have come from a different environment and have through, the years been 'conditioned by the thinking of his or her parents. Be tolerant of those who come from a different background and who cannot speak our language very well. Put yourself in their place and you . will begin to realize that they are t rying very hard to become good citizens and are probably doing much better than some of us would in a foreign country. Mr. Baker is a member of the Canadian Legion, Seaforth Branch No. 156. The reason tor joining the Canadian Legion is to be of service to his fellow veterans and for comradeship. Now we have many good citizens joining the Legion as fraternal, offili.ate members. Their reason for joining is to help expand, the work of helping others. Mr. Baker feels it is his duty to serve until the end. This is a way to honour the many who paid the supreme sacrifice. There are a great many trying to recapture the one worthwhile thing that the tvat produced and fhatis the unbelievable comradeship. that prevailed among men while in action against the enemy. If the same comradeship prevailed to-day, this would be a perfect ,community, and a perfect country and every one would be a good citizen.
