Euchre becomes
`musical chairs'
Last Wednesday night, the
WI held a successful--and very
hilarious 13 table dessert
euchre, at the Community Me-
morial centre.
Confusion began after the
first game, when several pla-
yers went the wrong way. In
an attempt to rectify the errors,
some ladies were asked to
change their cards for men's
cards but this only added to the
confusion. Soon each change was
much like a game of musical
chairs. By the end of the even-
ing some had changed their sex
so often they didn't know whe-
ther they were male or female
but everyone had such a hilar-
ious time, that practically all
were in favor of another eu-
chre February 13. Before giving
out the prizes all reverted to
their original sex and high score
prizes went to Mrs. Clarence
Carter and Mr. Sheridan Re-
vington; low score prizes to
Mrs. Frank Hardy and Mr.
Evan Hodgins, and lucky chair
prize to Mrs. Evan Hodgins.
In the first nine months of
1962 labor income in Canada
was $910 million, or 6.5 per
cent, higher than in the similar
period of 1961.

These People don't realW
that they have done so well
not because of their lack of
training, but in spite of it.
Nor do they realize that the
world their kids are aboet to
step into is not the one they
entered.
I'd like to see more, not
fewer, training coerses. Take
domestic science, for example.
I'd just as soon throw a boy
into a jet liner, without train-
ing, and tell him to take off,
as I would throw a girl into
one of those modern kitchens,
all bells and buttons and lights;
without training, and tell her
to take over.
In fact, I'd expand the domes-
tic training. Girls should be
taught not only how to make a
white sauce and an apron, but
how to make a happy marriage.
They should be thoroughly brie-
fed on the wifely virtues of
patience, thrift, silence and hu-
mility. They should learn how to
run a power mower and shovel
snow. They should be taught
that money doesn't grow on
trees, that the stork is for
the birds, that good husbands
are like precious jewels they
can be heavily insured but when
they're lost, there's nothing
left but money.
The girls -- and I speak as
the father of a daughter -- would
learn some other fundamentals:
that "nag" is a worse epithet
than "bag" or "hag"; that it
takes more than a bust and a
bottom to make a well-rounded
woman.
In such an enlightened sys-
tem, we'd have to have equal
opportunities for the boys. Best
way to start would be to break
down a couple of their basic
beliefs: (a) that the world owes
them a living, and (b) that the
old man will provide it until
the world realizes how fortu-
nate it is to have the privilege.
Then we'd teach them that man-
We parents, on the whole,

of money. But aside from that,

are learning, and why,

tackling anything as complexes
the education system.
And it is complex. It's Ix-
coming more complex every day
as educators scramble to keep
up with a society that is chan-
ging with the ease and rapidity
of a burlesque queen.
That's why we parents should
pay more attention, take a dee-
per interest in what the sprouts
are learning and should be lear-
ning. Our ignorance of their
training is equalled only by our
eagerness to run it down.
We all know the lady, a su-
perb cook and homemaker, who
announces flatly that teaching
domestic science is an utter
waste of time, that girls should
learn it at home.
She has forgotten that when
she Was married, her piece de

quarters of an hour to iron a
