hobn in traffic; screeches toIf you’re looking for a quick !
course in “How Modern Teen
agers T?lri,n.l<”, fake this advice
Find tho spot wh£(to toe ac
tion is, 'park yourself in .a posi-:
lion where toe view is unob
structed and watch cai-efuUy.
Ip five minptos flat, you should
have a pretty fair idea what
mqkes teenagers think and act
toe way they do . , . and if
your findings are anything like
mine, you’ll come away; with
toe notion that ‘kids' '"aren't
nearly as bad as they might be
if they didn’t have good,
sible minds of their own,
Just recently I became
yinced that.teenagers are
prisingly .normal considering
their opportunity for proper de
velopment. Adults' are' some-,
times such poor examples of
mankind as God intended it to
be, that it would be little won
der if their children were all ill-
mannered, over-confident, con
fused boobs.
* From, toe time a baby is born,
mother and father take that
child under their protective
wings/and love it, t^ach it,
guide it and guard it—-until it
is about 12 years old. Then
suddenly, by some magical pro-,
cess, we'laughingly call /‘grow
ing up”, boys and .girls are sup-
posed fo become young men and
young ladies, Overnight they
dre thrustlinto an entirely new
environment where parents fear
to tread and toe kids are put
to the test,
. I don’t suppose there is any
thing wrong with providing
youth plenty of chances to fend
, for itself,- It just seems 'to' me
that kids are’apt tb get the
wrong impression, about this
new-found freedom from' their
adult superiors "who often muff
toedr own lives either inten
tionally or without thinking
much about it. (
We older folks are quite ca
pable of -.making ridiculous,
statements,' like these: “Well,
son, you’re 16 and a man now.
Society expects, you to shoulder
your share of the civic respon
sibility. You’ll make mistakes,
pveryone does. Just try to
learn from them, son, ’and prof
it by them”; hollow sounding
words coming 'from a father
who curses the police force,
ridicules the government,, and
considers public spirit is best
shown by buying an apple from
the Boy Scouts on tag day. • .
Or, how about toe kid who
grows ’up in a house where dad
thinks a Sunday afternoon drive
is a two-hour track date to work
toe bugs out of, toe carburetor
'by giving toe family crate! “her»
head”; where he crabs at ’toe
slower drivers;' lbans oh toe
horn m traffic; screeches to a
half just inches behind another
par, It really isn’t much Won
der that some ltids thltok the
'greatest crime a motorist com-
•mits is to get caught.
The girl who has been, pushod
since age five to “look pretty
for the little boys” by a mother
who drools over her daughter’s
“cute remarks about her. boy
friends” is bound to be wide1'-
eyed' with amazement when ithq,
same mother flies into ,a rage at
the thought of her little girl
marrying when she is barely 17
and has "so much of her life
ahead of her,”
' ■ If eenagers are rebellious,. I
Sometimes think we make, them
that way by expecting, more of
them than we expect of our
selves. The hair, fee tight
pants, the gosh-awful music —
these things set them apart,
from the rest of fee populus
'Which must Seem “wild, man”
to a kid fresh out from under
the warm, innocent wrappings
of childhQod.

Centennial
Report

t CENTEN NIAL.CO M Mi SSi ON ER
World War I Aircraft to be Flown
At Ottawa on Sat, June 10
To Mark Canada Armed Forces Day
Paul Hartman -scanned toe
early morning sky; and climbed'
into the cockpit of, toe Nieu-
port 17. -He Idioked up at the
Vickers gun, "mounted oh the
top wing,' and.'gave; the nod to
his mechanic.With an initial
belch of -blue smoke . and an
angry snarl his rotary engirle
burst into life. Hartman push
ed the throttle forward and'
in' toe space of a few yards
down the grassy strip, -the
Nieuport sprang into toe cloud
less 'blue.
■ Sounds like the opening para-,
graph of a World War I flying,
story. But it isn’t. Paul Hart-,
man is a Wing commander in
the RCAF and the description
fits any fair weather morning
at Ottawa’s Rockcliffe Airport
' toe past few weeks. •
Hartman and several other
-veteran pilots of the .RCAF
have been rehearsing for a col
orful, air show at Rockcliffe on
June 10 to mark the 50th anni
versary of military flying in
'Canada. The June 10 show will
be just one more of the type
of .exciting events -in 1967 which
are' making Centennial year a
remarkable one. t

The second Saturday in June
usually is set aside for Armed'
Forces Day; Since the year 1967
is the 50th anniversary of mili
tary flight the usual Armed
Forces Day at Ottawa is some
thing special. ’If you are tra
velling through or anywhere
near the National Capital ’ on
that day, be 'sure to see the
show at. Rockcliffe.
There will be two hours- of
flying by vintage airplanes in
cluding . thesetypes: toe , Ni$u-
port 17-which Bishop, fleiw; yfee-
Sbpwith Triplane ., which made!
Raymond .Oollishaw famous;
toe .Sopwith Snipe. Which Bar
ker used in the closing' months’'
of the war; a 'fleet Finch bi
plane which many - Canadians
used in the Commonwealth •Au-
Training ‘ Plan during World
War / II. There will be other
wood, wire and Canvas relics
and more to- see in toe . show.
-For an additional' hour and..31
minutes there will -be exciting
aerobatics by modern service
aircraft and a’ speclial- show by
the special flyiipg display group
'of toe year, the ■ Golden Cen-
tennaires. . . •' ■. ,. <■

that.
His nemesis on toe other side
of the Housie is Richard Bell,
an Ottawa"lawyer and former
minister of citizenship and im-'
migration. His defence of toe
British' tradition sometimes
verges on the pomposity of a
Colonel Blimp.
When Mr. Choquette suggest
ed that since the Queen was
the Queen of Canada, it was
no- longer necessary for Can
adians .to be British subjects.
Mr. Bell fired a stern rebuke.
• “No- sir. It is one of the
great prides of my life that in
addition to my Canadian citi
zenship, I am also a Brlitist)
subject.”.
While toe debate sometimes
gets hot on toe floor of toe
Commons, it is- hard to feel any
members really take it serious-.
)y outside.,
Early in 1966 toe • Conserva
tives accused the government
of planning to remove the coat
of arms from the cover of the.
Labor Gazette.
The Liberals denied it.-
Inl due course the -coat of
arms disappeared, but not a
single Tory voice was raised in
protest.
By that time there were other
political fish to fry.

Excellent control of both grasses and broad-

successful growers of soybean and fieldbean
crops. Treflan stops weeds before they start to
grow by killing the weed seed as it germinates.
The result you get greater yielding crops be
cause there's more nutrients, moisture and
light for your crops;-less time-consuming
harvesting stoppages caused by weeds'; and'
more efficient use of fertilizer. For.dependable
