Madness, multiplies as this hapless, shapeless, faceless crowd writhes and wirigglas onto toe dance-floor where members mingle l'ifce a misguid­ ed mob, performing solo com tortions resembling an acute attack of hiccoughs to an ear- splitting beat void of tune or lyric. The thought doesn’t do much for parents who have devoted a lifetime of time, talents' arid treasures to nurturing toe heal­ thy bodies and solid character­ istics of toeir sons and daugh­ ters tin the fervent hope they will someday reap a tiny glow of pride.

I can See your ankles,” Grandpa, remember toe night you rubbed down the mare so your father would not discover the lather of sweat the horse had worked up when you whip­ ped the daylights out of the animal so you, yoiur girl and your buggy could have a head start on toe way home from the church -box social? And the time, you deliberately ripped your tweed trousers so you could have .a pair of those snappy pin-stripe serge? Dad, remember toe brush-cut you sported with your flame- red strides and your lime green shirt. Mom, remember toe ’poodle-cut, toe rolled1 blue den­ ims, toe sloppy-joes, toe Gibson- girl craze, toe Eisenhower jack­ ets, toe boy-bob, pancake make-up and rouge? » I doubt if any ’teenager who ever lived has escaped1 one-line lectures like this1: “What is this younger generation coming to?" or-“Dancing was more sensible when your mother and I were young.” I 'also doubt there has been a ’teenager with breath who hasn’t exclaimed these senti­ ments in one way or another: “You don’t understand me” or “All toe kids are doing it" or “We’re not getting .into trouble — we’re just having fun." Since time began it has been vitally important to young people to be accepted by other young people. If I remember my feelings when I was" a ’teenager, the. biggest need was to do and be something differ­ ent than my parents; After ail, they were old and stodgy and pitifully behind the times. I was young — of a new era — and by golly, I was going to prove it. It is a sign of maturity I believe when, we notice the un­ usual habits of youngsters and while we may not always con­ done them, we can surely un­ derstand them if we try. Age cannot be measured in years alone; it depends largely bn the state of mind.. You can be old at 30 or '•young at 80 and toe only difference is how well you remember your youth. -----------o----------- Doug Wells To Tour With 40-Voice Choir Miss Linda Riley, ten y?ajr old stodmt of ballet, has been invited by toe National Ballet School at Torento, to attend classes thei’e. As an introduct­ ion, she can attend throughout July, at no cost. Linda had her audition for the National (Ballet on February • 1. Daughter ‘of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Riley, 180 Beech Street, Qlmton, Linda is in Grade Four, ballet studying under Mrs. Zab­ locka, Ontario .Street, In ^ad- . dition to her ballet, Linda has Grade Four piano, with two' lessons a week and is a pupil of Grade Four at Clinton Public School. By attending' toe Residential and Day School with toe Na­ tional Ballet, Linda would liave ballet lessons every day, instead ofx once a week as at present. Academic curriculum is the same as public schools, from Grade 5 to 12. Miss Betty Oliphant, who is director and principal of the National Ballet School, came to Canada from London, England, where she was prominent in national ballet circles. Articles in the January, 1966 Chatelaine, and last October's “After Four” section of a Tor­ onto dhily, picture the work and discipline of toe National Ballet School. Some children who studied under. Mrs. Zablocka here in Clinton, have gone into' further ballet work, Kathym Jones, now 13 yeairs old, .and a student with toe Royal Winnipeg Ballet, a year ago danced in a presentation of Napoli, along with seven other students. Kathyrn had won a scholarship for part of the 1964- 5 season of RWB and passed her Grade 4 Royal Academy of Dancing with honors. Joy Graham now at St, Jean, Quebec, has taught ballet for four years and now has 45 students. The basement of their home is used as a dance studio. Joy manages to fit piano les­ sons, curling, teaching Sunday S chool and leading Brownies, in with classes. She has finished sec-, ondary school and plans to .afo tend MacDonald, College, Que­ bec. If Linda Riley manages to at­ tend the school in Toronto, credit to her teacher here must be given financially, as well as for the skills taught her.

Whoever said that the cost of everything keeps going up and up was definitely not aware of what’s been happen­ ing with Long Distance rates over the years! Less than two years ago (in June, 1964, to be exact) Long Distance rates for “daytime" station-to-station calls were reduced,, and now, effective March 6, rates for “Night and Sundays" station-to-station calls come down as well. From March 6th, Long Distance users in Clinton will find that calls over 250 miles to communities in Ontario and Quebec will cost from five to forty cents less, while calls over 600 miles to other provinces will drop from five to fifty-five cents. Night and Sunday “station" rates are in effect from 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday evenings, and, of course, all day on Sundays. Since they are already lower than “daytime” rates (and very much lower than “Person- to-Person” rates) it’s doubly pleasing that they will be still lower starting Sunday, March 6th. Incidentally, I’m saving some more good news' about Long Distance for a later column, so be prepared to be pleasantly surprised once again! ** CAREFUL MANAGEMENT Reg. $10.00 ei -fC Permanent'.......... w»f □ Includes cut, shampoo, Style and set THIS SALE ENDS MARCH S, 1966 Charles House of Beauty 74 Victoria Street -— CLINTON — Phone 482-7065 Effictive February T— SHAMPOO and SET — $2.00 Includes Creatn Rinse All Other Prices Remain The Same .....................■»■■■■■ ........ ............. i I,,.. ....... .........................■■■■........—in— Clinton Women’s Institute will meet to the agricultural board room on February 24 at 2 p.m. Roll call to be “Name a Canadian export”.

Wedding Pictures JERVIS STUDIO Phone 482-7004 What’s the opposite of a “vicious” circle? — a “happy" circle?? Well, whatever you call it, it’s the opposite of a vicious circle that has lead to so many Long Distance rate reductions over the years. In constantly striving to improve service and reduce costs, telephone engineers have come up with a remarkable number of discoveries that long ago brought the costs of Long Distance calls way down to with­ in everyone’s budget. The result Was that more and more people began making Long Distance calls. The more people who make Long Distance calls, the lower the cost-per-call of providing the service, and the lower the rates can be. And of course, the lower the rates, the more the people who take full advantage of the service. But all these things just didn’t sort of happen: It took good management by our Long Distance people to tie every­ thing together, arid push that happy circle to start With — and it still takes good management to make sure that the circle keeps turning In the direction of better and better Service for lower and lower rates. ♦ IT HAD TO HAPPEN Jiist to prove how Unsettling a Wrbng number Can sometimes be, here’s an ahswer one careless caller received: “You've got the wrong Idiot, you number!"
