The Disadvantage of Growing 1.1p
by Barbara Gaunt
Man "en masse" has been describ-
ed as "a pernicious race of odious
little vermin", He is' also a very
contradictory, unpredictable creature.
If he is wealthy, he longs for the
simple joys of the poor man; if poor,
he wants to enjoy the comforts of the
rich, When he is a child, he can
scarcely wait until he is grown up,
and when he is grown up he looks
back with fond wistfulness at what
he now considers the happy days of
his childhood,
Perhaps he is right in doing so.
.There are a great many dthadvantag-
... es to growing up, which seem most . • irksome at the "almost but not quite"
grown-up stage. This is the time
when parents deplore the actions of
irresponsible -teen-agers and we teen-
agers chafe under the seemingly ty-
rannical rule of parents, who appear
to adapt a slide-rule method of evalu-
ating our status as adults. Certain
responsibilities are delegated to us
with the comforting phrase, "Now
that you are grown up you must act
the part". Younger brothers and
sisters (and who says children are
naturally good and decent?) take un-
holy advantage of the assumption
that John or Mary can be teased
without fear of reprisal because,
"Your're older and you should take a
little teasing." Who would be such
a big "Meanie" as to give Junior a
good spanking just because he made
an absolute nuisance of himself?
Why, that would be giving way to
one's temper in an utterly childish
way!
And while we are urged to act like
adults, half the time we are treated
as rather large children who don't
know what is good for them and have
to be guided into the right channels.
The whole situation seems to follow
a horrible pattern. When John as-
sumes that he is 'capable of doing
certain things, such as driving the
family ear to an occasional dance;
Father, who has read in the evening
paper that a "car containing four
youths, aged seventeen to nineteen,
crashed into a train at a level cross-
ing", assumes that he is not and
refuses permission ,emphatically.' But
when John indulges in a boyish
prank, Father reminds him that he
is an adult now and past such foolish-
ness.
What can be done about the age-old
problem? Modern psychologists and
educationalists have not yet found a
solution. Perhaps if parents and teen-
agers could agree on some specific
time when teen-agers would be treat-
ed as children, and another time
when they would be treated as adults,
some sort of emiable settlement could
be reached.
Chocolates—We love 'end

Alleycats and the Grade 13 Shin-

Grade 12 were winners of the

the supposedly Shinbusters but when
the smoke had cleared and arias, legs,

cleaned up the score read Grade 12
Alleycats 21; Grade 13 Shinbusters 17,
The score was all tied up at half

Mr. Frank Mitchell, who has gone
to make his home in Brussels, reports
a letter received a few days ago from
his son, Ted, who is on active service
in Korea. Early in the year Ted had
made a plea to his parents for cloth-
ing for children of Korea. The special
group in need had been adopted by a
unit of the 25th Canadian unit, The
plea for clothing was made known
in the press with a heart warming
and amazing response from this dis-
trict and many parts of Western Ont-
ario. Church organizations, Women's
Institutes and members of the Legion
were touched with the need and many
ten pound parcels were• packed and
forwarded by air in order to reach
the Pow-Ha orphanage during the
cold winter season. According ro Tod
Mitchell's last letter to his parents
forty parcels had arrived, coming al-
most daily. Parcels sent from Wroe:-
eter numbered twenty-three. These
were packed and mailed by two Mem-
bers of the Institute Mrs. J. N, Allen
and Mrs, Roy Hunter, who were as-
sisted by Miss Rona VanVelser.
Children's clothing also money for
postage from this and neighbouring
districts made the project possible.
Through the wars of this generation
we have learned of the power of the
press, radio and other means of com-
munication for good or evil. So long
as there are those who respond to the
need of the less fortunate in a far
away country, there is hope for a
brighter and happier world in the
coming years. When the many parcels
mailed have been received, we nape
to report something of the happiness
and comfort brought to the children of
Pow-Ha Orphanage and also to our
Canadian lads who, forgetting them-
selves in the needs of the children
of Korea, went the second mile in
serving their country.
