Planning for the day you retire or buy your first home means having a master plan for your investment in the future. So we have two plans to help. A Registered Retirement Savings Plan, and a Registered Home Ownership Savings Plan. They both earn you valuable tax savings, and when you subscribe to either one, or both plans your contributions can be applied to any one, or a combination of these investment vehicles: 1. Royal Bank RRSP and RHOSP Deposits. Interest-bearing deposits with The Royal Bank of Canada, offering a high interest return, geared to the general deposit rate structure. Because of the long- term nature of these deposits, it is possible to pay a higher rate of interest than on conventional savings deposits. 2. Income Fund. High-yield bonds, deposit instruments and mortgages insured under the National Housing Act make up this portfolio which is actively managed by professionals. The policy is to achieve as high a current income as is compatible with maintaining reasonable price stability as well as moderate capital appreciation. 3. Equity Fund. Investment mainly in Canadian common stock port- folio which is actively managed by • the same professionals. Long-term capital growth with reasonable current income is the objective of this fund. It's all in how you plan your strategy. Your Royal Bank manager can help you work out a master plan. Why not call or visit today. Now it's your move. By MRS. J. TEMPLEMAN IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT YOU ARE STORING ILLICIT ITEMS IN YOUR LOCKER. + + + The Guardian Contest is going strongly. Winners will be an- nounced in next week's paper. Clue No. 2 - These words used fre- quently by philosophers describe life at South Huron. During the last couple of weeks numerous contributions have been made to the Guardian, in the form of letters to the editor, poems and short essays, remarking on the lives of the students attending SHDHS. These students have asked to have their articles left unsigned because they feel that their comment on school life and life in general is shared with a great amount of people at South Huron and in the community of Exeter. We invite the readers of the Guardian to comment on these ex- pressed opinions. If anyone is offended by the material presented we are sorry. The key to world wide understanding is the sharing of our problems and ideas, Hopefully the printing of these articles will aid in this process. Ten tables in play for euchre party at the Parkhill Anglican church Student's impression Booze is dumb I had a bottle of booze just before the dance started, and got so tight, I couldn't see if I was putting my feet in front or behind me. I decided to sit the dance out and just let the booze wear off. I sat down against the wall, eyes about quarter open, but every once in a while I was forced to rise and go to the washroom. Unfortunately I got there too late and threw up all over the main hall. What a mess, How vulgar a taste I can't describe, and the embarrassment., I had a friend with me who had toked up the same time I'd got drunk, He didn't come down off high until way after the dance was over. Unfortunately we weren't the only two there, who had gotten boozed or high. Maybe I could say fortunately since nobody felt too out of place except the people who had come just to have a good time. They looked at the tribe of us in disgust and left quickly. They didn't know what they were missing. About 12:30 a.m, me and my stoned friend got to my house. We both walked inside calmly. And to my horror I found dad and mom still up watching television. My dad spoke first, after about forty seconds "What the hell happened to you". I wondered if that was a question or an exclamation. My mother mumbled a few "Oh my gods" and ran into her bedroom. By now my stoned friend had reached the door and let himself out, mumbling a "Sleep Well" to me. With my father's face in shock he left the room and followed my mother to the bedroom. That was all. I went to the bathroom and looked at my bulging red eyes which were getting hard to keep open. My smelly clothes and aching head didn't help matters. So this was a good time, I thought. I felt low, cheap, and anythingelse underthat category. Be yourself You want to be somebody, you want to be known You want lots of friends, and not stand alone You want to be outgoing, with nothing to hide You want to be "you" so walk tall with pride To have friends, is to be one, you know Your inter-love for people will always grow Stand up and do what has to be done — But do it with meaning, be number one! JUST BE YOU! L. Hillman My parents had always thought I went to dances to dance, not to get boozed out of my mind. Tough break for them, I thought. I wondered what my stoned friend's parents would say or do. Some friend. I hadn't had a good time, I felt like the dirtiest dirt and had really broken both my parents. "I'll change" I swore to myself, and wouldn't go near that ever again. Never more. I thought of all the parents who didn't know what their kids got into on weekends. They probably would never dream of half the stuff kids do these days. I was glad my parents had found out. I felt rotten and even wanted to die. Damn it anway! Escape to nowhere You're young, you're bright with so much to give You're new, you're alive so much reason to live Always wondering if it would be nice to be free But then again—is that how you'd like to be? Look at you now, constantly away Folks wondering where you are from day to day When you're home, you are kind, helpful and fair But what are you doing when you're not there? Why is it sometimes at night we ' hear you cry . . . Life away from home — could this be why? Real freedom you want, would you really miss this? Remember, our family closeness you would miss! You want to escape, eh, get away from it all . . Walk away, head high, in pride walk tall! + + + You were young, you were bright, you had so much to give You were new, you were alive, why didn't you live? L. Hillman Happiness Can be found in someone's smile A kind hello or a friendly gesture Give. someone a hand and help him out And reach out, it is always there, Ready to be taken, Time It never stops It keeps on going And I grow older. And'yet I know That I will die And one day soon The time will come And I will take my place. Students plan winter event It will be very difficult to not be able to find something of interest to do on the days of February 13, 14 and 15. We've had more than our share of snow, and the student council has decided to take advantage of the situation. The annual winter carnival is on our doorsteps and will be in full force on those three hopefully snowy days of February. There will be the usual pie eating and toboggan and tricycle races. Also, a few new ideas will be attempted such as having car races. The outdoors play a big part and snowmobiling, snowballing and sculpturing won't be forgotten. The talent show will be at its highest, and anybody that can do anything can participate. If you happen to be too shy, you can always enjoy yourself by wat- ching. Entertainment will include four movies, a concert and a dance. The teachers are not forgotten and have planned various ways of enjoying oneself indoors. The activities above are only a few of the many ways to spend the three winter carnival days. If you find the activities provided, unsuitable for yourself, go out and have a good old- fashioned snow ball fight. There's lots of ways to spend your time so enjoy yourselves. After all it only comes once a year, Dear Editor: Here is the problem we now have to face Let's stand up young people and hold our place We must speak now, we do have our rights Parents, sit and listen, you know we don't bite! OK Mr. Merchant, you say we steal from you But don't just as many adults steal from you too? You say we're immature with our antics & stunts Think back, were you not a young person once? Just reminisce go back to your past - Well we don't want to grow up "too" fast You used to say your child was the world's very best But now you state he's as bad as the rest! If you would give us a chance, you know, be fair! Listen to our problems, show you really care No wonder we get into trouble, you give us no trust . . Your parent ways are beginning to rust! When your child is standing within a crowd Can you really say "he's yours, and still be proud? Nothing good is said about young people these days, When was the last time you gave a teenager praise?

Since then it has helped to finance more than 5,100 projects across the country to the tune of more than $29-million, This unique program enables retired people to create projects of their own choosing.
