SHORE Secondary $thool newspqper takes sarong editorial "Hearts and flowers" theme of bake sale Whirling, white snow outside red and white carnations inside, this was the setting Saturday, February 17 as Mrs. 3. F. Slater welcomed the ladies of Adastral Park and of Clinton to the annual Valentine Tea and Bake Sale sponsored by the Catholic Women's League of St. .Paul's parish council, Adastral Park. Guests at this annual event appreciated the generous disc play of home baking and then enjoyed a social hour at the tea tables. Each table was de. eorated in the traditional "hearts and flowers" decor of the Valentine month. Mrs. 0. E. Warner, Mrs. 0. H. Hack, Mrs. F. D. Cook and Mrs. K. Hester presided at the tea table, decorative, as a tea table always is, 'with,' flOwers, lace and silver. The guests were served tea and an assortment of sweets by: Anita Brochu, Paula Carey, Debbie Daum, Karen McKenna, Carolyn Mills and Bobbie Hepley. Mrs. Slater was assisted at the door by Mrs. V. A. Foster and Mrs. H. Sewell with the tea tickets and Mrs. W. A. Willberg and Mrs. J. L. Mc. Kenna with the raffle tickets, Mrs. F. P. DeLong drew ,the winning tea ticket for Mrs. Grace Durnayne, Clyde Sparks of Adastral Park and Audrey Carver of Clinton won the saf. fie prizes. The tea was convened under the direction of Mrs, D. Pople, assisted by Mrs. Shirley Ras• musson with the raffle tickets and Mrs. L. D. Shilson with the tea tickets and Mrs. H. Belton and Mrs. C. Carey with the food arrangements.' Special thanks to all the kind ladies who so generously don. ated their baking and to Mrg. Herb Bridle for her donation of the door prize. The annual tea and bake sale, one of many in the district is, like its noun. terparts, a concrete example of work and community support and assistance for others. This is what is represented by flowers and silver, tea and sweets on a winter afternoon. It is noted that Mrs. V. Kennedy contributes the articles from the CWL. Diary Of A Vagabond ArnongAidcumentselialleath my desk ailing about The middle of January each year are seed catalogues, mid-winterspre.in. ventory sales announcements and year-end reports. The seed catalogues I save to bolster my hope that spring will soon . appear around that proverbial. corner. I haven't much use for the sales flyers. After the hole iday spending binge, my pocket- book ,looks as though it had lost an argument with a truck. But the year-end reports are another story.. They are as interesting 'reading for a wins ter's evening as the current who-done-it, They take my mind off the day's gruesome headlines. Especially when I read quotes such as this one: "For Cane adian National 1967 was, a year of growth and achievement in many of its activities, chief of which was the progress made in shaping the organization to function effectively in the new competitive environment crea. ted by the National Transport.. ation Act." This was the lead to the year-end review authored by N. J. MacMillan, Q.C., chair. man and president of the corn. parry, Its contents should be of interest to every taxpayer in Canada, for it concerns us, as shareholders in the industry. As with many annual reports there were several rather de. pressing items contained in its six pages. However, these were kept in a nice balance by the review of achievements. In the report was a statement con. cerning a serious decline in freight business. This, corn. mented Mr, MacMillan, accom. panied a general slowdown in the economy, thus carloadings were seven percent below 1966, On the brighter side, revenue increases were recorded in all services. Freight revenues in. creased three percent over 1966, due in the main to higher rates charged. Other revenue increases were: passenger ser- vices, 26 percent; CN Tele. communications, eight percent; CN-operated hotels, seven per. cent. I wish there was some way I could condense the report into a capsule containing its entire contents CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT Upgrading equipment is among the foremost. Included were orders for new equipment during the past year, designed mainly to meet the needs of customers. These included '700 box cars, 50 refrigerated piggy. back trailers for perishable goods and 110 high powered diesels capable of pulling twice the load of the older engines. The new electronic reserve. tions system helped smooth handling of the additional pas. senger volume during 1967 which reached a total of 18.5 million travellers carried over 2,5 billion passenger miles.

Don't close Your eyes or plug your ears or turn away indif- ferently — lege the cold fact this school is dead!! Before you tear this up in disgust — THINK; Who's to blame for this? The Student's council, the TeacherseNO! It's YOU. During the pest few months, there seems 'to have been a de- ' dining amount of enthusiasm within the student body. This school sponsored activities,' For example, the school newspaper started out on a prosperous looking season, The first news- paper edition sold well. The sec- ond was not received as en- thusiae4tieally, while the third was barely received. Why? The newspaper staff works hard to produce a paper that will inter- est every student. It is not a joke magazine or gossip column, an the contrary, it tries to show what is going on in the school as well as what is happening in the world. Despite all this, the students don't want to read it. Another example of disinter- est is shown by the small ceowds that come to school (emcee. The Student's Council pays quite a lot of money for bands, but only a handful of students show up. Why? Is it because teenagers of today don't want to dress up in dec- ent clothes and come ,to a re- spectable dance. Would they rather dress up in 'hippiee cos- tume and hang out at the near- est 'joint'? Something that has been sup- plied for the use of the students is 'late buses'. These buses de- part from the school at ap- proximately five o'clock on Thursdays for the various cen- tres. These buses are supposed to be used for the benefit of the students either in getting extra help or participating in some extra curricular activity. How many use them for this purpose? eigain`,,theed af,6''Very few who take 'advantage of them. For some it is merely a ride home after they have spent from three-thiety to five in the downtown billiard room.

At the, same time there are peeple within this iristitu, tion that get a greet deal of enjoyment mit of criticizing, the Student's CouneileThese people ask, "What do they do besides having the prestige of being ..en that privileged 'body?" Before the students lay down a verdict on the Council they should real- ize what its job is. Ite is the student's council. a body elected by the students and therefore should have the interest of the students at heart. It does have the student's interests at heart but do the students feel sympa- thetic toward the council? Do they participate in activities eponsored by the council? The answer is NO! For example, this year, as in other years, a chdeolate bar campaign was sponsored. Usu- ally this project brings in a large sum of money for the Council which is used for its operations. This year approxi- mately four hundred dollars was not returned, This is no fault of the Council, but en- tirely the fault of irresponsible students. Another example of disinterest on the part of the students was the reception of the Carolfest. This program was rehearsed for many days by the choirs and as a result the show was excellent in quality — a true credit to the school, How was it received? By the stu- dents it went unnoticed. The people who came to see it were , primarily parents of the singers and people from the commun- ity. No wonder the Student's Council gets a little discouraged with participation like this! In conclusion I would like to make a suggestion. To make this school year one that will be looked back upon with hap- py memories—you, the student, must participate. If you have ideas that you would like to see carried out — suggest them. Don't stand back and criticize: How can the student's colleen.
