Entertainment and in- dustrial planners are already aware that the largest segment of the consumer market are in the youngest age brackets. The present middle executives con- sj,itute a very small part of the potential. Products and services which Will be on the market in ten years will have to be geared to those now in the youngest age range, and this constitutes a massive problem. The rapidly changing styles and values, the new and dynamic advertising and com- munications methods, and the present-day , reliance on mechanical energy instead of human energy, will create a new society which cannot now be imagined. The "good old days", when the new generation could be rather definitely expected to adopt the values and styles of their fathers have gone forever. The children raised with an ad- dress on Sesame Street, with awareness of sexual motivation for everything from brushing teeth to buying cars, the access to drugs for every ill and every feeling fantasy,, will make demands which cannot possibly be met by human skill. Strangely enough, in God's own way, this will work for a better world, not a worse one! The chief characteristic of youth today is a sated and jaded appetite. They have done "it", or seen it done.

The professional development day workshop was led by Robert Stephenson, programme consultant in mathematics for the Ministry of Education. Mr. Stephenson was assisted by Miss Nancy Claus, Miss Eileen Campbell, Ken Cooper and Jim McCallum, resource teachers for the Middlesex County Board of Education. The teachers found their metric height and weight, made colourful metric sticks, estimated weights of common household materials, took metric temperatures, and generally discovered the ease with which one could convert to metric thinking. Little known metric facts were discovered: Lois Ottewell was 179 centimetres tall. Bob Laye's temperature was 37 degrees Celsius (normal). Glenda Wagner wore a 19 cen- timeter shoe. Larry Black weighed nearly 105 kilograms. John $iertsema drove 40 kilometres to get from his home to Stephen School. Bill Millson can plow 1.5 hectares per hour with his 5 furrow 40 centimetre bottom plow. The one hundred and twenty teachers devoured 33 kilograms of' donuts and drank 80 litres of coffee.

The Wesley-Willis United Church's monthly contributions of $17 brings material and financial assistance to both child and family and is aimed at strengthening the family unit by helping, each member. Seventeen dollars a month provides the family with a monthly cash grant, distribution of goods such as vitamins, blankets, towels, soap and other useful items, medical and dental care, the sustained guidance and counselling of social workers and the benefit of special programs. A strong emphasis is placed on education. All Foster Children (and their brothers and sisters, if possible) must attend school. Vocational training courses are available to Foster Children, A group of Christians who are members of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church have given a tremendous Christmas present to the people who reside in Huron County's newest community - Vanastra. These people opted to make "heavy financial commit- ments" to have the doors of Vanastra Chapel opened for the community worship.service, A spokesman for the group, Hal Claus said, "It is indeed a wonderful time to start, the month of December being the Christmas month. This is the most joyous and most celebrated of all Christian holidays," The services at the chapel will be ecumenical in content and will be open to all people of all faiths. This initial ser- vice will be conducted by the Rev. Alvin Reukeirta of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church, but indications are Mr. Beuhema will be looking for other ministers in the district to lead worship services as time goes on. A Good News Club is already being held every Friday evening in the chapel for the children and young people of Vanastra said Mr. Claus who claims the attendance has been most encouraging. . r "Much haS happened irr'llanastra in "the Past year," said Mr. Claus, "People have come from near and for and have made their homes here. Industry has moved in, stores have opened their doors and restuarants have started to serve the residents, Still in many instances there is a lack of com- munity spirit. For instance, children have to attend school in other communities and religious services have to be at- tended elsewhere." "Throughout the history of Canada, the church has always been a place where the members of the community could go to in order to find themselves in relation to their Creator and their fellowman," said Mr. Claus. "It was a place where people went to find comfort and solace in times of sorrow and disappointment. It was also a place where they expressed their joy and happiness, especially at weddings and at the baptism of their children. In order for Vanastra to find itself it must also have a place where its residents can go and meet each other and worship the Lord of heaven and earth," According to Mr. Claus, because of the heavy financial obligations involved in running a church, it seemed "very unlikely that a church would ever be started in Vanastra". "Now we have to stand back and look on in amazement how the Lord looks after his people here on earth," said Mr. Claus","- how He worked in the hearts of some members of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church and caused them to make heavy financial commitments to have the doors of Vanastra Chapel opened for the community." There is every hope the residents of Vanastra will make the Chapel "their place of worship and the centre of their community". Anyone wanting more information should "feel , free" to contact the Vanastra Chapel Committee at 482-3224 or the Rev. Alvin Beukerna at 482-9720. Wesley-Willis members join Foster Parents plan their brother's and sisters and in some cases, their parents. The aim is to give the family the tools to help them become independent and self- supporting. Special programs adapted to the needs of each country also meet these aims. Foster Parents and Foster Children correspond •monthly (letters are translated by PLAN) and often develop warm and affectionate relation- ships which mean as much to the child as the material and financial aid. Foster Parents Plan is currently working in ten coun- tries in South America and Asia. Over 50,000 children are currently being aided by in- dividuals, groups and families in Canada, the U.S.A, and Australia.

CHURCH senines Is Sunday the loneliest day of the week for you? JOIN US IN OUR HAPPY ATMOSPHERE! From time to time, I'm reminded that working mothers are the forgotten people, Like the time just a day or so ago when my eldest son indicated once more to me that he expec- ted top performance at home from me no matter whether or not I was a career girl. Well my good friends, as I've said before I'm no women's lib- ber. I have no intention of bur- ning my brassiere or converting My signature tp Ms. from Mrs. But I sure believe with all my heart that working mothers are necessary to this nation and should be treated as special people with special problems requiring special con- sidera tions. Where I personally am con- cerned, of course, there is no problem other than that Within my own household. My children are all of an age now to be almost self-sufficient during the daytime hours and the only static I get from them is a dwindling supply of grocery items on the shelf; a cold sand- wich for lunch instead of a hot snack; an unpressed shirt; an unmade bed; a messy kitchen when friends arrive. And although I repeatedly advise my family that they are as much .a part of the house as I am, that it is their duty as much as mine to do the household chores, they oc- casionally miss the pampering of a mother who has nothing else to do with her days but make life ever so pleasant for her loved ones. So I try I really and truly try to be as much of a mother as I am a career woman although I'm always slipping up and being told about it. But at times like those, I am reminded that some working mothers do not have things so easy as I do. I begin to remem- ber back to the time long years ago when my children were lit- tle and I was going out to business every day. I remember making two and three trips to the car - first with the day's supply of bottles and tinned goods, next with the diapers and the sleepers, and finally with the baby. And I remember those dread- ful times when the babysitter 'Called• to advise she was sick or had an emergency call on a family matter. What to do with the baby? How to get to work on time when plans were changed at the last minute. And I remember the everlasting fear that the babysitter with whom your child got along so well would serve notice she was quitting and you would have to begin the search all aver again for a OPTOMETRY J.E.

Many people believe that a woman's place is in the home and most certainly, a mother has no right to leave her youngsters for a job. To that I say nonsense - stuff and non- sense, Employers will be the first to tell you that if you sud- denly took away all their working mothers, there would be some large staff gaps to be filled. While I'm a firm believer in close family life, I'm also con- vinced that no woman - married or single, childless or otherwise - should be denied the privilege to work away from Mine if that is her bag. I think it is resource waste of the highest degree to have talent and experience chained to the kitchen or the nursery and I would urge the government to pull the lead and provide the necessary services for working mothers i.e. day nurseries for a starter. The country benefits when it can draw on the skills of all the people for whom it has finan- ced long years of training. The community benefits when its work force is strong and depen- dable. The working mother benefits when she can take her children to a well-run municipal day nursery knowing full well it is a steady, reliable aid; the employer benefits because he has a much wider choice of workers who are collectively happier and less prone to absenteeism. Finally, the children benefit because they are .in a structured en- vironment which most often results in a total learning ex- perience for them. Any way you want to look at it, municipal day care centres are the answer for modern-day living. It isn't copping out. It is simply using all the country's resources to the very best ad- vantage. And that's only good business in my books, Canadian buckwheat is grown mainly for human con- sumption and for the export market, especially Japan. In Canada, buckwheat ..was first grown in New Brunswick and Quebec, Today, about 70 per- cent of Canadian buckwheat is grown in Manitoba. Japan has been Canada's biggest market for buckwheat since 1967. In 1972, Japan im- ported 1,200,000 bushels of the crop. The Japanese eat buck- wheat in the form of sobs (buckwheat noodles).
