Most critical stage in
life most complicated.
by Dr. W. John Cocker,
MB, BS
Adolescence is one of the most critical
periods in the process of growing up into a
mature, responsible adult. Yet it is also
one of the most complicated phases of life
to experience and control. Most teenagers
pass through this stage without too much
difficulty. But for others, a number of pro-
blems may arise, some of which may even
bring about major disruption to the family.
The pre -teenager years of 11 or 12, and
the years of 17 and 18 at the other end of the
stage, are the times when most difficulties
appear to arise.
The son or daughter entering into
adolescence may experience a change in
character, becoming ill-mannered, or
quarrelsome and disobendient. Moods
may swing from one extreme to the other.
in this first stage of development.,
The second stage marks the end of the
teenage years. Having coped with
adolescence and now being on the verge of
full adulthood, the young person may feel
that he knows it all and may be reluctant to
accept advice.
In between these two phases, a number
of specific problems may arise, depending
on the individual and the circumstances in
which he or she lives. Although parents
should try to stand back and allow their
children room to spread their wings, to
some extend the problems arise when
parents are not around to give support if
and when things go wrong.
The development changes in a young
person's body are sometimes responsible
for the problems in adolescence. Girls for
example, may be experiencing anxiety
about their first period they may also go
through a phase of not eating and be con-
cerned about their weight.
If a teenager starts to behave out of
character, staying out all night, or playing
truant and acting in an irrational manner,
it may be -a sign that he is depressed, or
even experimenting with drugs and
alcohol.
A number of professionals can be con-
sulted if a family feels it cannotcope
alone. Educational psychologists, local
youth group leaders and counselling
organizations may be able to help. As a
start, the family doctor is a good reference
source.

Tartans and plaids
at church service
The Talk Of The Town
The skirl of bagpipes and the colorful ar-
ray of tartans were the setting for "The
Kirkin' 0' the Tartan" service in the
Lucknow Presbyterian Church Sunday
morning.
Besides the nearly thirty different tar-
tans listed in the church bulletin, plaids
and tartans were evident in abundance
throughout the congregation in everything
from full kilts, skirts, shawls, scarves,
hats, ties, to pins.
Thanks was given to God, particularly
by those of Scottish descent, for their
heritage, and a blessing was sought that
they might remain loyal to the noble stan-
dards which their tartans represented.
Assisting Rev. A. Ramsay was Rev.
William Henderson with scripture
readings by Herb Clark, Reeve of
Lucknow and Edward Brown.
The scripture for the tartans was read
by June Gilchrist and the presentation of
the tartans was given in Gaelic by Freda
Maclnnes and in English by June
Gilchrist. Mrs. Jean MacKenzie Shantz of
Kitchener was guest soloist and a
quartette of Austin Loree, Dale Haldenby,
Lorne Forster and Rob Henderson provid-
ed special music.
Frank MacKenzie and his son Rod
MacKenzie provided the bagpipe music to
give the service a distinct Scottish flavour.
Several people from Lucknow joined in
the St. Helen's Women's Institute bus trip
recently. Highlights of the trip included a
tour of the Pine River Cheese Factory, a
tour of the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant,
the Grey County Museum and the Heritage
Mall at Owen Sound.
Sympathy is extended to the family of
