Eight bills have been cleared. and two additional tows are being Constructed, Tile one tow which has been operating, for the past two .sea- sons was kept buSy during the last two weekends with skiers from Sarnia, Windsor and Lon- don, in addition to those from the district. Despite the bitter cold on Sun- day, several 'hundred enjoyed themselves on the slopes. The heated lodge, however, was a . popular spot as many took advan-: tape of the- fireplace to thaw out chills of the cold west winds, First of the eight hills is for toboggans and .sleighs and it was busy all afternoon. Enthusiasm • was dampened later in the day when a woman's ankle was broken in an accident, Six of the other seven hills slope to the west and the two new tows will service must of these. The other hill, cleared this fall, runs to the east and will probably become one. of the most - popular because it is protected from. the winds and is well-covered with snow, The ski hills were opened by Mr. Walker and his' son,. Philip, - last year: The project is proving that Grand Bend can provide ex- eellent winter recreation as well as summer fun. • Population of Alaska is about five times as great as the com- bined populations of Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territor- ies.

But is all this molly- coddling producing any, better hockey players, or citizens? Not so you'd notice. * i* * We don't want our kids to be as gawky and unaccomplished as we were, so we, give them swimming lessons, • dancing les- sons, figure skating lessons, music lessons. But we neglect to give them lessons in decency, respect for their elders, simple courtesy, integrity, and a lot of other things, equally or more im- portant. As a result, •they turn into ac,, complished, selfish, ill-Mannered teen agers, and we simply can't understand bow it happened, when they've had "such a nice upbringing and so many advan- tages." .* *.* * Because we haven't the gump- ton to say "no" and suffer the ,inevitable whining, we let the kids wallow in tripe, — comic books, crummy TV shows third- rate movies, fifth-rate Presley —then complain that the schools are terrible, "they don't seem to absorb anything at school these days at all." • * n * This could turn into a diatribe, but it won't, I feel sorry for the kids. I think 'they're exchanging the real for the synthetic,, with- out ever having a chance to know the difference. How many young- sters to-day, for example, know the thrill of hoarding every nic- kel for months, to buy a' cherish- ed base ball glove? It's much easier to put the pressure on the old man. * * But I feel more sorry for the parentS. They bust •a gut to give their boy or girl all the things for which their own tender souls ached at one time, When the for- mer turns out to be an insolent, useless, young punk, and the lat- ter a sneaky little tramp, their horror is only equalled by their disbelief.* * * Mind you, not all kids get this life-at-The Ritz treatment, and not all parents have their heads stuck as deep in the sand as those described, There's no non- sense about pampering kids around our house. Like Saturday afternoon, for instance. In hearty, matey, father-to-son tones, I suggested to Hugh that we shovel the walk together. Together, mind, you, not telling him the had to do it. "Can't", he says, "gotta, goda the matinee. Where's my quar- ter? Then I gotta goda Charley's to watch TV. Roy Rogers. C'mon, Dad; gimme the two bits." My own ad Wo*tild have just pointed at the snow shovel, and I'd have spent the afternoon making it fly. I pointed at the clock and, said: "Say, you'd bet- ter get going, or you'll be late," and handed him the quarter. No nonsense around our house about pampering. * * Like Sunday afternoon, when I Was having a little snooze, and Kim thumped me oil the stomach till / woke up, and said: "Daddy, Will you go Uptown and get me a comic. .1% read them all and I haven't a thing to read and Hugh won't play With Mt, will 'you Daddy?", giving Me that big- brown-eyes look that *mild have melted the heart of the late un- lamented Stalin, So I get out of tey slippers1 into my goloshes, and Walk half a mile 'to tilee_, if 'thre't 4 drug.
