OF Ontario Hospital At Goderich
Dy Gwen Dayles-11C
CHSS—"Anyone from grades
11 to 13 interested in social
work, psychology and nursing
'please come to room 102 at
.3.20." A number of students
.showed up.
It was Mr. Hunter who told
us about the opportunity we
had to take a tour of the new
Ontario Hospital just south of
Goderich. From a show of
'hands, Mr. Hunter estimated
that about 20 people would
show up from the school, and
he told us that parents were
welcome on the tour. :Unfort-
unately, there, was no bus.
At 7.15 we arrived, and I
was in a minor panic because
we were 15 minutes late. In-
side, the receptionist told us
we could wait in the audi-
torium as the four hadn't start-
ed yet, The stage was set up
for a lecture, with posters and
pictures, and the room was
filled with chairs. There was
only one thing missing—people.
One of the doctors showed us
the lovely little chapel, with
an altar at each end. One was
Roman Catholic while the oth-
er was curtained off. Quite in-
genious, I thought.
After waiting awhile, we de-
cided to start the tour, the
nurse who was to be our guide,
the two elderly ladies, my
mother and I. The lecture was
omitted. Down the lengths of
new and spacious corridors
we went ,but shortly the two
ladies tired, and the urse show-
ed them back to the auditor-
ium, Then we resumed our
tour, the nurse, my mom and I.
The hospital was really' a
first-class wonder! All along
the halls and in the wards were
beautiful pictures ;the nurse
said that when they arrived,
there was a whole room full of
them. The kitchen was a study
in wear-ever aluminum, with
pleasantly coloured melmac
dishes stacked in one counter.
In one place there were
three monstrous pots for soup,
into which I could have easily
climbed. There were three
cafeterias, or dining rooms, for
the patients, the staff and visi-
tors. In the visitors', there
were tables set up along the
back with pamphlets and typed
sheets on every occupation con-
nected in any way with the
hospital, the training required
for the jobs, where it could
be acquired, and the salaries
paid.
A great deal of work had
been done to make this sec-
tion interesting and informa-
tive.
Moving on, we came to a
ward where several people
were watching TV. (Doctor

Kildare was on, incidently.)
There were no rooms, but rath-
er''partitioned sections, with 4
beds to a section, The nurse
told us that this was a reg.
dential 'section, and most of
the people had known each
other for years.
In the ward there were
rooms for baths, rooms where
small amountsof personal
laundry could, be done if a
patient wished to wash and
wear some article the same
day (there was• a dryer) there
were broom closets, storage
rooms, rooms for outgoing
laundry and rooms whose func-
tion I, cannot recall.
There was a room where
drugs were kept, and a box
arrangement out front for the
drugs of each ward, a patient
and a staff library, the infirm-
ary, a place for therapy, a den-
tist office, grassy yards,' a bar-
ber shop, a beauty salon, and
ample grounds around the
building.
There was a type of recrea-'
tion room which delighted us
the most. In it were two ping-
pong tables, a small piano, a
kitchenette if someone took a
notion to bake (fully equipped
for the purpose, of course) sew-
ing machines, and a table for
crafts.
A teacher came, the nurse
told us, and taught the pat-
ients how to do such things as
sew, make pictures with dried
peas, beans, rice, etc. stuck on
a background with wax, and
she taught them other crafts,,
equally as fascinating.
Moving on regretfully, we
found the rest of the hospital
no less interesting. There were
reception rooms, lounges
(where soft drink machines
were located) and the nurse
told about the large store,
which was unfortunately closed
where' the patients could buy
clothes. or almost anything they
desired.

Geography Club
Proves interesting
And Educational
(By Shirley Pierson, 12A)
For those of CHSS who's
interests lie in t the geographic
characteristics of our earth, the
Geography Club offers such a
program. Guided by Mr, R.
Middleton, the club, since its
formation last year, invites the
students to share their activi-
ties.
Under former president John
Farrell, visits were taken to
such foreign countries as Spain'
and Mexico by means of color-
ful slides.
The members were guided by
an amateur astronomer in an
investigation of the stars and
planets. This year the club
with its president, Shirley Pier-
son, has received special talks
from guests of China and Trini-
dad.
Since geography is a popular
option at CHSS, many students
partake in the club's activities.
For years now, man has been
advancing in new discoveries of
this terrestrial sphere in which
we litre and it is the challenge
of our geography club to offer
to its members a small insight;
of our world today.

coffee (very informal, the nurse
smiled) and • we were offered

Feeling all again the won-
ders of this new and growing
world, the Ontario Hospital,
and feeling generally satisfied
below the belt, we made our
way back to the main door, my
(By Karen Scheftee)
I say, "God Save The Queen."
No, it should be "0 Canada".
With a new change 'in gov-
ernment comes the never-end-
ing controversy about a nation-
al anthem for Canada. A short
while ago, during one of the
school assemblies in Toronto,
the student pianist was asked
to play "0 Canada". But he
didn't know how; he only knew
"God Save The Queen".
Some of the high school stu-
dents in the larger cities have
become so enthused over this
debate that actual sit down
strikes have occurred during
the playing of "God Save The
Queen".
If this beautiful, sprawling
country named Canada is ours,
shouldn't we want to shout
praises to it so loud that the
vibrations would echo and re-
echo? Aren't we proud of our
Canada? But then, shouldn't
we, show respect and pay horn-
mage to our mistress, the
Queen .of England?
The following is a selection
of ideas expressed by the stu-
dents and teachers of CHSS,
when asked this question:
"What do you think about the
playing of 'God Save The
Queen' as opposed to '0
Canada' for a national an-
them?"
Mr. I. Fraser, English tea-
cher—It makes no difference to
me what is played. There are
things that matter more.
Nancy Olde, 12D — If they
can't decide maybe we should
play them both.
Tony Verhoef, 13—Whatever
our national anthem is we
should play it, What is our
national anthem.
Grace McAdam, 9H—I don't
mind it (God Save The Queen).
Ern used to it now."
Mr. Robert Hunter, Guidance
Teacher—What is the national
anthem?
Bill Vodden, 13A-0 Canada.
Canada is now independent and
a distinct country.
Bob Trick, 12B — I won't
answer.
Ed Land, 12B--•I think the
Queen hasn't any bearing to
Canada. '
Lyn Rees, 11C—Well,
ways thought that God Save
The Queen should come after
O Canada. It does in any of
the armed forces services.
Fern Steckle, 1213—Personal-
ly, I like 0 Canada. It has a
nicer tune.
Miss Kathy Haig—As a tea-
cher of French, of course, I
must approve the FrenCh Cana-
dian song, 0 Canada. After all
they were here first.
• David DePutter, 9C—I think

head of this country, we Should

Ernie Brubacher, 121) -- I
rather like 0 Canada because
the Queen doesn't mean much
to us, and also because there
is very few diplomatic rela-
tions, and it shows that Canada
is an independent nation.
Pat Fletcher, 10D—I think
the Queen is the better. In it
we're actually evoking God's
blessing upon her.
Linda Nicholson, 10E—Since
we are a nation and not a col-
ony of Britain and I being a
true Canadian believe 0 Can-
ada should be known as our
national anthem.
Eleanor Wright, 11A — I
think 0 Canada, because it
has more significance. It gives
a feeling of patriotism and
makes us feel closer to our
country.
Mr. Borov, Spanish teacher—
God Save the Queen sounds
like a national anthem should
sound and 0 Canada is an un-
inspired musical composition.

Let's have a look at the tax
advantages pf being married,
A tax exemption of $1,000
would probably mean a saving
of $250 in income tax. Hardly
an adequate amount to support

Of course a family also does
wonders in releaving the neces-

A highly esteemed Petrolia

She was horn in Huron

She was past matron of Bri-

ber of the Mary Kerr Circle
of that church.

Each addition to the family
circle brings an added exemp-
tion of $300; Probably a saving

ance of up to $95; total bud:

A family is fine but most
disappointing if we expect •to
support it on income tax sav-
ings.
I'm afraid that those who
embark on the sea of matri-
mony fel' what they can get
are beading for a sad disap-
pointment. However for those
who wish to give and share it
is most rewarding.
We seldom realize that we
are just one generation away
from extinction. Single bless-
edness would be just as effec-
tive as the Hydrogen bomb.
I have become quite familiar
with, co-operatives and the
article of our editor causes me
to wonder if there is a simil-
arity.
Is it the desire for personal
gain that has made the pro-
gress of co-operatives so diffi-
cult?
Have we failed to support,
participate in, and promote co-
operatives because we might
lose some personal advantage,
or because some other person
might gain by our efforts.
Would many of us give up
our families because some
bachelor or spinster might be-
come wealthy, producing chil-
dren's clothes?
Why then should we with-
,h014 our approval of co-opera-
tives that will in41;e. our -com-
munity a better place to live?
Most recently .Z have been
