Three weeks ago this Fri- day, commendation was given to the Grade 12 Special .Com- mercial students who wore their good clothes on Friday; the boys in suits, the girls in good clothes and high heels. It was later recommended that the other students also follow this idea, On the next Friday there appeared some more well-dressed pupils in 'the corridors. In trying to get the student reaction on boys wearing suits, these were some of the replies: Harry Cummings, 11A2: It encourages people to dress right and wear good clothes after school too. Bill Tyndall, 9A2: I think ies good but costs too much. Fred Eckel, 10A2: It's good for the academic and business commerce students; but not for the technical courses because of their periods 'in shop. But it could be all right on days they don't have shop. 'Mr. Darrach, Commercial teacher: It lends an air of pro- fessionalism 'to the student. It also reflects attitude and ma- turity, and will pay dividends in 'the students' futures.

The radio topic was "The Canada Pension Plan". There were four questions: 1—Should the Pension Plan be voluntary. or compulsory for farmers? Answer—It should be com- pulsory only if a satisfactory plan can be worked out, as e farther's income varies so much each year. 2s—Should a minimum pen- sion be established, regardless of income? ' Answer—This system seems so complicated that we. pras1 the present Old Age Security. We would like to see it in- creased, and the age limit be dropped to 65. If the Canada Pension Plan comes in we think that certainly widows and dis4 a.bled should receive some bene' fits, 3---Should farmers be able to pay a higher contribution than their income level would war- rant, in order to gain a maxi- mum pension? Answer—HoW can a farmer With a low level income pay more?- PLUMBING-HEATING ELECTRIC 482.7062 CLINTON By Karen Sebefter Peter • Dixey Adams, an 18 year old homme du monde, is on an Amer/can Field service scholarship to Milwaukee. Peter's 'home is in. the Re- public of South Africa, where his parents, Mr, and Mrs. A. D. Adams, reside. His home city is Durban, a 700,000 peopled holiday resort. Peter's scholarship lasts for one year, during which 'time .an American family, Mr. and Mrs. E. Scheu take him into their home treating him as a regular family member accepting all moral and financial responsib- ilities. Peter thinks that the African segregation problem is "gener- ally misrepresented", Being ab- le to defend .his argument, Pet- er can deftly supply dates and incidents regarding the Negro-. White relationship dating from the 17th century to' the present day. Peter stressed the fact. that the African segregation, un- like the American problem, is vitally needed. Negro children having been raised in grass huts with African tradition have completely different back- grounds from the White child- ren, thus, seperate schools are required to cope with their needs, The final examinations, th- ough, for whites and negros are both the same. In 1961, one school was being built every 00•01.1111/S1 day. "South Africa," Peter adds ed, "is fairly well developed; it has the same hydro electric consumption as Western Eu- rope." How does Milwaukee corn- pare to South Africa? Peter; "The Americans are always rushing to be a few minutes late." When Peter first arrived in Milwaukee he found the Am- erican speech difficult to un- derstand. Although Peter pos- sesses a - "frightfully British," brogue, he has become quite skilled a't tossing in American slang. What impressed Peter most about Canadians was that "We (exchange students) are all treated like someone very sp- ecial, Everyone has been so kind to us." Peter also noticed the 'Can- adian modesty, the formal tea- cher-student relationship which reminded him of home r and the' distinct Clinton. dialect—slight- ly Scottish,, Peter, a grade 12' student at Nicolet, takes Mathematics (Trigonometry, calculus), U.S. history, English, Science Sem- inar and International Studies. He is president of the Science Club, a member of the Student Council and the American Field Service Club. Peter participates in tennis, although, in Durban the three main sports are surfing, cricket and rugby.
