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.

Between sniffles, coughs and
sneezes. 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,

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

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.

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. In concluding Mr Baker
