They both said success should not be judged on college degrees and take-home pay entirely, but rather other things such as community spirit, etc. Bryan suggested youth should be provided with more voca- tional guidance, in particular hearing from persons in various professions and vocations. In a brief discussion on grade 13, Carolynne said there was a tremendous amount of pressure and Bryan said he hoped more changes would be made before he arrived there next year. He said he didn't think grade 13 students enjoyed school and "cram" was their favorite word. The change this year to count 25% of the students' mark on their term work and only 75% on the final exam was not less- ening the pressure according to Carolynne.

He said troubles arose when too much authority was exerted or not enough. The new dance crazes were described as "pretty crazy" by Carolynne, but she agreed with Bryan that there was noth- ing wrong with them. To conclude the interview The T-A asked the two popular leaders to name their greatest sports thrill. Carolynne had little difficulty in stating that skiing on one water ski was her greatest thrill, although she quickly add- ed she only managed it once. Bryan's thrill came two years ago when the SHDHS basketball Pictured above are the members of the Exeter Figure Skating Club who performed solo exhibitions in the well attended show, Saturday.

Explaining that racial dis- crimination was against their principles, the two noted there were similar problems in Can- ada and the French-English is- sue was parallel in many ways. Carolynne said she felt there was a deep-rooted resentment against Quebec stemming from the First World War when vol- untary participation in the war effort was lacking from that province. Both agreed the situation was "very complex" and few knew what Quebec citizens really wanted from the rest of Canada. "Everyone has different views," Bryan explained, "and it's over our heads." The two students recom- mended that more exchange visits should be set up to foster understanding between the two cultures and to learn the two languages. They felt students in Canada should start learning the two languages much earlier, point- ing out from their own experi- ence that the French taught them in high school was by no means adequate to communi- cate with a Quebec resident. Authority information session deals with hardwood planting By TERRY McCAULEY At their semi-annual con- servation information meeting held at the Imperial Hotel, Grand Bend, Thursday, memb- ers and guests of the Ausable Authority learned that the key to successful establishment of hardwood forest plantations, is the quality of the soil. Fred W. von Althen, Re- search Forester with the Can- ada Department of Forestry, Richmond Hill, was the guest speaker. His topic was "Hard- woods Establishment and Chemical Weed Control in plan- tations in Southern Ontario". He illustrated his talk with coloured slides. Mr. von Althen opened his caft by including alternate rows of a conifer such as red pine or white spruce in the early stages. These act as a nurse crop until, at about 12-15 years of age, the walnut become intoler- ant of the competition and a thinning should be undertaken to provide more light and grow- ing space. He stated that mature walnut veneer logs are very valuable, bringing $600.00 $1,000.00 per 1,000 board feet on the open market. In summary, Mr. von Althen lamented the general lack of knowledge with regard to plant- ing hardwoods, and the dearth of good quality hardwood stock available to individuals wishing to regenerate their woodlots, and the need for the creation of a demand to develop a better hardwood nursery stock pro- gram. RE FORMATION As for the church, both in- dicated they felt it had been failing youth in the past, but was now trying to get young people back. Bryan explained religion did not appear to be important to most teenagers, and added it was difficult to tell if the "re- formation" now being ex- perienced by the church would change this situation. Carolynne said younger min- isters in particular appeared to realize the need for a firmer religious background so young people would be prepared for what they will be faced with at university and in the outside world. "The church has to change with society, not society chang- ing with the church," Bryan commented and Carolynne said most ministers preached "over the heads" of young people and therefore teenagers couldn't understand how to make religion a part of their everyday life. They both agreed that an hour a week was not enough religious instruction and it must become a part of everyday life. Discussing the avenue of par- ent-children relations, they noted it was a trial and error course that had to be followed to some extent as all people were different. Although it may surprise some, they said most teenagers wanted rules to follow and want- ed authority exerted by their parents. They said the difficulty came about in the fact some teenagers wanted more authority exerted than others. "It's a give and take situation and has to be address by thanking the Auth- ority for the opportunity to carry out his experiments on our Forest properties, namely the Saddler tract in West Wil- liams Township and the Chap- man tract in Lobo Township. Some of his slides showed chemical weed control being applied to black walnut plant- ings in these areas. He proceeded to explode the myth that trees will grow on almost any piece of run-down property which is useless for agriculture. He pointed out that farmers would not think of growing corn on sub-marginal pasture, and by the same token, hardwoods are just as particu- lar with respect to site con- ditions, and should not be grown on poor land. The best soil for these de- ciduous trees is found in a cut-over woodlot where open- ings or glades have resulted from the removal of mature timber, where the soil profile has not been disturbed by cul- Miss May Carter now of Tor- onto, fell and broke her left wrist.

Miss Heather Acheson, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Acheson of London, formerly of Lucan, was one of the models at a fashion show at the Mall, London, sponsored by the Mall merchants Mon., Tues., Wed., March 29, 30 and 31. Mr. & Mrs. Ron Crozier at- tended a baccalaureate service in War Memorial Hall, Guelph, for the graduates of Guelph University Sunday March 21. Their daughter, Julia will be among the graduates.

Mr. & Mrs. Harry Carrol and Mr. & Mrs. Heber Davis of Saintsbury were S und ay guests of Mrs. Henry Hodgins and Mrs. H. A. Mullins and brother-in-law, London were Wednesday guests. Last Wednesday Mrs. Ted Menders of London and Mrs. Gary Menders of Lucan, were joint hostesses at a miscel- laneous shower at the home of the former in honor of M is s Bonny McLaughlin, bride-elect of this month. Mrs. Richard Dickins of Exe- ter was guest of honour at a birthday celebration, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Har- vey Latta, Concession 5 Hid- dulph. AMPLE FACILITIES Taking a look at area youth facilities and activities, the two expressed the opinionthere was enough for area youths to do and everyone could be busy if he wanted to be. However, Carolynne said most don't take advantage of the facilities. Bryan explained it was the normal situation in that "some kids are into everything" and some don't participate at all. They agreed this was a situa- tion much similar to the adult world where a few are involved in everything and others were not interested in anything. Bryan expressed the thought there weren't enough "house- league" activities as the local sports program was geared to the all-star performers rather than the average players. "There should be more em- phasis on playing for fun," Carolynne added, "especially at school". She said it may even be best to make sports compulsory to the point where a student had to participate in so many activities to receive credits. Both were in agreement that youth are not given enough op- portunity to develop leadership and Bryan felt they should be given the responsibilities of running clubs, intramural sports, etc. "Leadership should be spread out to more people," Carolynne agreed. They suggested that with SHDHS growing so rapidly, it may help school spirit to in- augurate a "house system" among the students. The entire student body is broken into "houses" and these "houses" compete in intramural sports and other activities and in- dividuals help gain points for their "house" throughpersonal achievement in clubs and team sports. "It develops school spirit," Bryan stated, after the two noted the spirit at SHDHS could be better. In comparison with other schools they said it's "not the lowest and not the highest". County council —Continued from front page ington of Usborne is chairman, was approved by council on Thursday. Background of the move is new legislation enabling two or more township school areas or urban municipalities, or a com- bination thereof, to be united in a county or district area. tivation and where the topsoil is between 12"-15" deep. The texture of a good hardwood soil is a clay or sandy loam, he said. Mr. von Althen did not, how- ever, advocate large, wide- spread hardwood plantings, as is presently the case with conif- erous plantations on public and private lands. As they grow more slowly and require more attention than their evergreen brothers, they can only be suc- cessfully grown on a smaller scale. He suggested that small pock- ets of deep, moist and fertile soil on the farm, which because of access or drainage limita- tions, are not devoted to crop production, could be planted to such hardwood species as black walnut and black cherry. The speaker referred next to chemical weed control experi- ments he is conducting in coni- fer and black walnut plantations at Saddler tract near Sylvan. His slides showed quite marked control through the use of pre- emergents such as simazine and amino triazole. Contrasting views of the "control" plots showed the competitive smoth- ering effects of weeds on small seedlings. So dense was the weed growth that the speaker's coloured cap was set beside the little trees in order for them to be seen. In the lively question and ans- wer period which concluded the evening, Mr. von Althen dis- cussed the culture of the black walnut at some length. He point- ed out that if planted in the open, this species should be protected Music students receive passes Pupils of Mrs. Frank Wild- long, who were successful in music examinations set by the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto include: Grade 8, piano, Carolynne Simmons; grade 5 piano, Allan MacLean; grade 2 theory, Judy Estey (honors) and grade 1 theory, Linda Blan- chard (honors), Jane Russell and Betty Jean Hamilton. Mrs Kleinfeldt dies in hospital Mrs. Roland Kleinfeldt, 62, formerly of Exeter, died in hospital at London, Monday, March 29. She was the former Laurette Brown, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Seth Brown, RR 3 Exeter. She and her husband, Roland Kleinfeldt, farmed in the Dublin area where he died in 1958. Surviving are two sons, Har- old and Gordon, both of Tor- onto, one daughter, Mrs. Har- old (Doris) Butler, Lucan; one sister, Mrs. Harold Jeffery, Exeter. Funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. G. W. Sach, Lucan, at the Hopper-Hockey funeral home, Exeter, Wednes- day, March 31 with interment in Staffa cemetery, Pallbearers were Messrs Donald Jeffery, Kenneth Klein- feldt, Lorne Preszcator i Hec- tor Rowcliffe, David Kleinfeldt and Harold Pethick. The branch directors of Clan- deboye WI arranged the grand- mother's meeting at the home of Mrs. David Henry. Each member was to bring or wear something of grandmother's. There are 10 grandmothers in the WI. "How to Stay Young" was given by Mrs. Alex Macintosh and Mrs. Wilmer Scott read "The Comparison of House- wives' Duties of Grandmother's Day and Now".

Mrs. Omar Cunningham won a contest conducted by Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Elmer Henry won the hostess prize. Lunch was served by the hostess Mrs. Henry assisted by Miss Agnes Northgrave, Mrs. David Kestle and Mrs. James Donaldson. LESS EMPHASIS Commenting on the plan to erect vocational facilities at SHDHS, both agreed this would provide for greater opportuni- ties for students than what are available under a straight aca- demic course. Bryan pointed out however, that there was a false impres- sion that vocational education was only for "stupid kids". He said this was far from the truth as students with aptitudes along these lines should be con- sidered just as intelligent as any others, "There's too much emphasis on getting a University degree," he stated, noting there was a misconception that a University degree was a guarantee for a successful life. "It's not the answer," the youth said. People should fol- low the vocation for which they are best suited and in which they will be happy. "The goal of educators is not just high marks and scholar- ships; but an educated individual 7auta 7oftic.4 Arena Schedule Thursday - 1 Bank Boys vs Graham & Graham 8-9:30 Friday - 2 Elmira vs Exeter Bantams final game 8-10 Saturday - 3 Leafs vs Hawks 9-10 Squirt 10-12 Public Skating 2-4 Clinton vs Jr. Hawks 8:30 Dashwood Planing Mills 2:30-4:30 Sunday - 4 Jr. Hawks 1-2 No Public Skating DaShWOOd Planing Mills 2:30-4:30 Grand Bend 4:30-5:30 lings takes place at Rowntree Memorial Church, London, April 3.
