"Good schools everywhere are surely every, parent's concern, for good education paYS' rich dividends , to the individuals 'arid to Canada. But we will not have better education in our schoOlS until there is better ,education about our schools, • '"During Canadian Education Week, March 7-1.4, it is the hope of. the On- tario Federation of Home a. School • Associations that local associations will help to • educate more citizens about education, the the importance of education and the community's Obligation to pro- vide first rate schools for all of Ontario's children and youth. "How far have we in Ontario come in improving our education 'system? In some communities students are bene- fiting from improved science and math courses. Some children have television bringing lessons not previously avail- able in their schodl. But there are still children being taught from out-dated textbooks, and possibly with antiquated teaching methods. There are areas too small; to Provide- the variety of pro- grams essential for children of ..different abilities. There are communities with no libraries or counselling services available to children and young people. ."We have seen the drop out rate fall, mainly because of -the "Robarts" plan in secondary school education in Ontario: Some of our teachers have low certification and have never 'or will never try to improve their teaching or "IT'S TOO EASY for youth to drink" is the waxning given by one of Canada's outstanding former hockey players. Perhaps many of the present gener-, ation have not even heard his name, but Syl Apps was magic on the ice for the Toronto Maple Leafs around twenty years ago, An exceptionally skilled hockey player, he was widely recognized for his outstanding ability, leadership and clean play; He was, and still is, a hand- some man with high principles. THE PUBLISHER of the Stouff- vine Tribune wrote the following edi- torial last week, just before he took off. on a Department of National Defence- sponsored trip to Europe. He, and other directors of the Canadian Weekly News- papers Association, including Barry Wenger of the Wingham Advance- Times, will be away three weeks. ' "This writer is on his way to Ger- many this week. There is no time when one feels prouder to be 'a Cana- dian than when he is out of the country, and there is nothing 'that makes the hair bristle on the back of his neck, more than being tagged for an Ameri- can.

Mrs. W. A. Oakes, local chairman, has been offered canvassing support from the Kinsmen, Lions, Legion and Vish and Game Club; one club for each ward in town. Like a true friend' in time of need, Red Cross responds in emergencies with deeds that help to alleviate the suffering 'of man. Comforting words in time of stress are always helpful, but what counts more for a stricken individual is definite action; deeds which will 'help him on his feet again; deeds which will convince him that people care enough THE CLINTON NEW ERA Established I665 t 14t 1.

"We all must Share the high cost and dangers of POor education, but we also -share the dividends 'of good educa- tion. It ensures good :citizenship and government, foSters economic growth and progress in technology, science, social welfare and health. It , enriches personal living and social relationships. "The Ontario Federation 'of Home and School Associations is working hard to secure public support for quality educa- .tion not only in the community of 'the local association, but throughout On- tario and Canada in co-operation with its Canadian Federation. "During Education Week, the On-' tario Federation of Home and School Associations would _like to salute the Minister of Education, The Honourable William G. Davis, and the department for the progress that, has been made in bringing a better education;,. system., together with a higher standard of tea- ching to Ontario. To have progress we must have changes and our Minister of - Education has made great progress dur- ing, the past twelve months to catch up with the winds of change. "This then is a challenge to all par- ents to educate 'themselves more about education, keeping in mind that the price of poor education is high. We pay for under-education in national under- achievement and in individual frustra- tion, fear, failure and unhappiness," Syl Apps, speaking in .the Ontario legislature recently (P.C. Kingston) said he' felt that teenagers now didn't have any difficulty getting liquor. Many bought it 'in a , liquor store, or • had friends do it, and others got it from bootleggers., He added that 'teenage drinking is "a serious problem" in many parts of Ontario. He urged the provincial govern- ment to help municipal authorities en- force the drinking laws before these laws are relaxed.

You tell your European or British host, with pride, that you are not with this "crowd" and are glad to rub shoulders with the odd fellow Canadian who is more modestly dressed • and shows some degree of respect and dignity on the tour. "How often have you heard people say, 'when they found out we were Canadians and not Americans they couldn't, do enough for us?' This is all too true. "To those who suggest we should join the United States, we say, consider these things. We have a reputation in Canada to which the Americans cannot even come close. It can be seen in many many instances right in the two coun- tries, and is most evident to Canadians who go abroad. —(Stouttville Tribune) about his plight to back up their com- forting words with substance. The Red Cross provides emergency food, shelter and clothing for victims who have suffered loss in a disaster. The sympathetic voice of the Red Cross is heard through handmade blankets and quilts that Will keep the disaster victim warm. It is heard through the fresh new clothing that he will wear for protection, and it is heard through vital food that will give him nourishment. It is a voice that speaks with definite deeds, and so is a welcome friend in- deed.

According to the erltioal re- views, the result, entitled The Comfortable .Per, turned out to be a short, soft look. For years I have envied B,er, ton for a number of reasons: his facility with words;; his TV in, teryiews with gorgeous dells; his .celoseeI gall; his big, fat income. Every .time the big Nee- dome scores another coup, I get the green sickness, But this is different. My jeal- ousy eamplicated by sheer hurt. If the Anglicans wanted somebody to write a book about them, why did, they turn to a back-slid Anglican like Berton, When they had a front-slid An- glican, nie., available. Like most converted Angli. cans, I wasehauled, kicking and stru'ggl'ing, into the fold, on sex- ual grounds, My wife was en Anglican. At first she used to shame me into accompanying her to church a couple of times a year. Then the outfit fastened its ten- tacles to the kids' and first thing I knew I was going to Bible Class pageants . and Sunday Schaal picnics. The pressure increased. "Wouldn't it be lovely," she spe- culated with that phoney wist, fulness that .makes you want to run for the nearest met, "if 'you could be confirmed at the same time as your little son?" I dug in my heels, I refused to join in the general confession, because I could hear my mother, With her solid Methodist back- ground, groaning in her grave every time We came to that bet about believing in the holy Catholic churc h. I wouldn't kneel, but just sort of crunched down, like my Ulster Presbyter- ian father. To cut a long conflict short, I was confirmed at the same time as my son. And frankly, I must admit that once the last rug was pulled from under my feet, I've enjoyed every minute of it,' Now I can mumble the gener- al confession and the creed with the best of them. And I take a certain .childish pride in kneel- ing, straight-backed through the long, communion service, Over 1,500,000 young people are enrolled. in 40,041 Branches of the Junior Red Cross in Can- anda and 'the Department of National Defence Schools in Europe.

None of this stuff of sitting there dreaming for an hour while a preacher wanders thro, ugh the dark forests of his own interpretations. They have you popping up and down like a jackeinethe-pulpit, on your knees praying, on' your feet singing; or on your seat getting your wind back, Another thing I like about Anglican services is the prayers. I don't think I could ever go beck to those interminable, homemade prayers in which the preacher acts as though God had nothing better to do on a busy Sunday morning than lis- ten to him displaying his elo- quence and endurance. At least, in the Anglican ritual, you can craftily flip over the page and be reassured that there are only two more paragraphs of the thing, Last, and I hesitate to say this, I like being an Anglican because of the snob in me, An- glicans, if pressed (up against a Wall with a knife at their throats), will admit that some other faiths have certain merits, But underneath, they know that a good Anglican is a• couple of jumps nearer heaven than a good R.C. or Methodist or Bap- tist or Presbyterian. In this way, they are exactly like goad R.C.'s, Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians. But it's heartening to those who lack confidence.
