Comment on justice, food
By JOHN D, BLACKWELL.
(Civis Anxius So)licitusque)
At the risk of being "crucified"
by the lovely contestants in this
year's school queen competition,
I fear that I must state my views
on this quaint custom. South
Huron has for many years
elected a school queen to reign
over the spring formal. The
whole idea of this degrading,
archaic and falsely-glorified
tradition is disturbing. I believe
that there are solid reasons why
this peculiar institution should be
given an immediate death sen-
tence.
Each year a small number of
(supposedly) deserving senior
girls is elected to contest the
position of school queen, Such

nomination is considered to be a
great honor. But why do we select
these girls? Is their goal merely
honor, Surely this is the only
legitimate end of such a prac-
tice? But if honor is the purpose,
for what is the honor? Here
again, there is only one plausible
answer - outstanding con-
tribution to the quality and
richness of school life.
If this is the case, but I fear that
such cannot always be so (and
may I state that I make no
specific reference to any of this
year's contenders), then I must
say such a plan is quite ac-
ceptable if not taken past the
point of selecting a group of these
girls. It is only right and fitting
that we should honour the
school's outstanding members
who contribute freely and un-
selfishly to South Huron's bet-
terment. This group could be
much larger and include many
"little people" in the school. Most
persons give "something" to
school life,
Actually one could argue that a
plan whereby only the feminine
element of the school is honoured
is quite sexually biased. Why not
have a king, if there must be a
queen? After all, we should have
a proper royal family. Of course,
I should really be stomped into
the dust for suggesting such a
revolutionary and anti-social
idea. I mean "it just isn't done, is
it?"
As I said before, this "honour
system" has my blessings as long
as it remains in the group stage.
but When honour is bestowed
upon one and only one specific
person, we are sailing our shaky
raft on sacred and roughly-
charted seas. Who are we to
decide which person among us is
the "greatest." Surely to
properly make such an
evaluation, we would have to be
as "perfect" if not more so than
the person being chosen, Yet, we
say that the "chosen one" is the
best, Therefore, this situation is a
contradiction.
We are not, for example,
simply chosing someone ac-
cording to his/her political
abilities whom we think can best
represent us in government. We
are going beyond this point and,
in fact, saying that, as a person
(that means in every aspect), you
"Miss Queen" are the best
among us. This godlike (or should
I say goddess) appraisal of
people as human beings is in-
deed a serious one, Our school
queen is not a typical elected
official who will serve in a
specific capacity. She is a chosen
person worthy of honour because
of past contributions.
If the idea of selecting a single
"chosen one" out of the
"chosen few" frightens a
person, one will surely be
horrified when one takes a close
look at the way in which "Miss
Queen" is picked. The week of
electioneering is certainly an
educative spectacle to behold if
one is contemplating entering the
"dog-eat-dog" world of politics.
The "chosen few," who have
been nobly honoured by their
fellow students for outstanding
and selfless contribution (forgive
my repetition) to school (which,
in fact, is us), turn into a group of
Dr. Jeckles and Mrs. Hydes. No
longer is their main concern what
they can give, and in doing so,
achieve an inner sense of per-
sonal self-satisfaction and
achievement, but rather the
glory that they could get out of
being the "chosen one." The
whole scene becomes a picture of
"look everybody; see how 'good'
I am, how much I have done,and
how much I deserve to be queen."

Well, it's almost the end of the
year and I can truly say we have
done a rotten job on the
newspaper this year. The paper
was supposed to be out every two
weeks, but as usual, we had a
small staff and couldn't dig up
enough to have a decent paper.
The kids around here come to the
staff members complaining but
did they do anything? No! That
would be too much like work.
Looking through old year books
depresses me because I see that
not so many years ago there
would be from 20 to 40 students on
the Guardian staff. Now we are
lucky to get 10 who contribute
anything!
The newspaper is a school
project and it is your concern.
Anybody can join and even if you
don't show for the meetings write
articles in your spare time,
Next fall come out and join The
Guardian. It won't kill you but it
might give the paper the boost it
needs!
Sir:
I wish to thank you for your
article which told the people the
farmers were finally getting a
fair price for beef, For the first
time farmers are beginning to
make some money without
having to invest it back into their
farm, or at least not all of it.
Apparently, Mr. Kyle does not
believe the fact the farmers have
been and only to lesser degree
are still being 'ripped off'.
Farmers get about 30-45 cents per
pound for their livestock and then
have to invest it all in seed to
grow cattle feed, machinery to
plant and harvest the cattle feed
and barns for both cattle and
machinery and silos for the cattle
feed,
Even after that, he still has to
buy and care for the cattle, Of
course this is not expensive or at
least Mr. Kyle doesn't think so.
The farmers don't blame
"Bossy". They can't; Bossy's
their bread and butter.

Sir:
I have written to you so you can
hear my views on court justice,
Cases involved in Supreme
Courts quite often use references
to other cases, while in com-
paring cases I have known it
must not be done in lower courts.
I think this is unjust.
Everyone knows that quite
often it is "who you are" rather
than "what you are charged for,"
Local courts which are small,
vary the charges' mostly ac-
cording to the judges humor. I
have known cases when a
repeated offender of impaired
driving received a three-month
suspension, when a close friend
of mine received a $125 fine and
nine-month suspension for
leaving the scene of a $30 ac-
cident. In the court case they
changed it and said the damages
were $150. Neither car was
repaired because of lack of
damages.
Most fines for having liquor on
a place and in public are around
$40 while I know of a case where
a drug offender received only a
$75 for a serious illegal drug
commonly known MDA.
Each case should be an in-
dividual case in itself and not be a
numbered one where you more or
less look on a chart for the of-
fense.
The person who had the
damages done against him told
Education is discipline for the
adventure of life.
No mean women can cook well, It
calls for generous spirit, a light
hand and a large heart.
the accused that he would leave
the case in the hands of the
police. After he heard the
charges he said he felt bad and
thought charges would be
dropped.
It must have been one of the
judge's hard days, so if you have
to go to court go on the judge's
birthday or some other happy
day for him.
Yours truly,
Randy Gilfillan
Sir:
I would like to comment on the
article that was placed in the
paper (letters to the editor) by a
person who described the
smoking conditions at South
Huron.
I agree in one way that students
should respect other people's
property and try to get the litter
to garbage cans. However, when
Mr. Wooden said, "No smoking,"
I think he meant on school
grounds only. Students should be
allowed to smoke across the
street without being suspended. I
think there are the same number
of students now smoking across
the street as there were before
smoking on school property.
The student who wrote the
article is obviously a non-smoker.
If he or she were a smoker, it
would be a different matter!
Take me, for instance. I smoke
once in a while, and I see a
definite need for a place where
students may smoke without fear
of recriminations.
I agree that if students wish to
-keep on smoking they should
keep the smoking area clean, If
students are not to smoke within
a mile radius of the school (or
some other ridiculous restric-
tion) nearly all of the students
who smoke will go down town and
smoke there, This practice will
probably result in students being
late for class or skipping class.
Let's be reasonable! Regar-
dless of threats or restrictions,
students will not quit smoking.
Isn't it time that something
positive was done about the
problem instead of the same old
negative things.
Name withheld on request.
Sir:
This is just a comment about
the Heritage Travelling Society
of Canada. We (17 of us) went on
a trip to London, England from
March 18-26 . Our group leader,
Mrs. Brooks didn't receive
definite imformation about the
trip (flight number,hotelaccom-
mode tions, etc.) until one week
before we left. When we finally
arrived in London, we were taken
to a different hotel than we had
planned for.
With seven days available for
sight-seeing, we had only five
tours arranged for us to attend as
a group - three art museums, a
tour of London by bus, and a
symphony. If we hadn't toured
the city on our own, we wouldn't
have seen any of the sites.
One of the members of our
group got sick and had to stay in
the hospital while we left to come
back home. He bought the
Heritage Insurance, but still had
to pay his own fare back home.
It is my opinion that the trip
was very worthwhile, but-it-could:
have been more so if it had been
better organized,
