With the aid of modern methods, specialization, and educated technicians, it is only a matter of time until solutions are found for the questions which plague mankind. Industrial research will lead to the production of superior machines, medical re- search will effect miraculous cures for the dreaded diseases, and space exploration will en- able Canadians to discover the heavens under which they work and play. Thus, through conservation and research Canadians can help to mould the future of their country. Nevertheless, we are all mere Speculators on the Stock Market of Life. wonder -- What does the future hold? BY JACKIE GOLDRICH 11f3 The silence of this room is unbearable. It weighs upon you like a heavy mantle. Unable to remove it, it engulfs you in a miriade of sound. The small- est vibration is magnified ten times and the remotest move- ment echoes in the empty core nets of space. It is deafening. The wind, slinking around the corners, is like the moaning of a thousand dead. The tick of the clock is like an endless bar- rage of machine guns. My pen upon this paper is like the scrat- ching of brittle twigs upon a window. And, the roar of the furnace is like that of a perpet- ual waterfall. This, is silence. The Changing Winds The Summer winds blow swiftly by, to a destiny unknown And with them goour metneries, fleeting not alone, For throughout the long and woe- drous summer, that's now all in the past Life was joyous, simple, free; everything moved so fast, Then came Autumn with winds and rain, the leaves began to fall Beauty came and left so fast, it seemed not here at all, Now all is barren, dull and gray; life seems at an end The Winter months drag slowly by, our world all seems to blend. 11111111•01118111.11111111.111.111.111111.1181 BROWNIE'S DRIVE-IN THEATRE CLINTON OPENING FRIDAY, APRIL 14 Watch for program in next week's paper Life must keep moving on and on, time awaits no one After Winter snows are gone, the Springtime's shining sun, And so it is throughout the years, the cycle of life goes on Until the time when we must part, our life breath is all gone. The Innocence of Childhood EDITH AUSTIN 12A This is Canada's centennial year. Innumerable essays have been written about her past, but what does the future hold for our dominion? The Dominion of Canada -- by herself, with- out her citizens -- means abso- lutely nothing. Everything that Canada accomplishes is for us, her people, to achieve in the future. For, just as a skyscrap- er must be built on solid founda- tions, a growing nation must be built on the solid toil of her people. Let us each ask our- self this question: "What can I do to further Canada's industrial and intellectual growth in the next phase of her young life?" First, consider our natural re- sources. Our country can de- velop at a faster rate only if we conserve the products of the for- ests, :of the farms, of the streams, and of the mines. In these days, Canada is a land of opportunity in these respects, Let us keep the situation the same way in the future! For example, think of our oil and mineral supplies. Canada has yet undiscovered potential in Labrador, in the North West Territories, and in her northern islands. In fact, some remote areas of our native land hold the answer to man's present-day problems. Eventually, Canada will --Keith Perrott 10C BY JULIE ADAMS 10A Her fist holding the cumber- some spoon bulged over with a mound of noodles. Eating them made her pudgy nose pucker up still more, and her cheeks grow even chubbier, while on. top of that, those endless freckles seemed to increase to no end. BY SHARON FERRIS 12B Courage is defined by Web- „gees dictionary as "that quality of mind which enables one to meet danger and difficulties with firmness or valour'. If courage is a quality of the mind then each person should possess it. I find, however, that many people lack courage in different facets of their lives. This must be true though of hue man nature. All must lack courage in some things in life if they try to overcome them on their own without help. Here is an interesting quota- tion by Sydney Smith, "a great deal of talent is lost to the world for the want of a little courage”. How true this statement is when I think of courageous men of the twentieth century. Men like John Glenn Jr., John F. Kennedy, and now especially the three astronauts Gus Gris- som, Ed White and Roger Chaf- fee who recently lost their lives at Cape Kennedy. These men had great courage to enter the capsule knowing that the one used before was engulfed in flames and that it could happen again. If ever there was an author- ity on courage, it was the late President John F. Kennedy. In his book "Profiles In Courage", President Kennedy writes " that to be courageous requires no ex- ceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special com- bination of time, place and , circumstance. It is an oppor- tunity that sooner or later is presehted to us all. In whatev- er area of life one may meet the challenge of courage, what- ever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his con- science -- the loss o f his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men -- each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingred- ient -- they can teach; they can offer hdpe; they can provide in- spiration; But they cannot sup- ply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul." WINGHAM AND DISTRICT High School's lone entry in the Western Ontario Science Fair on Friday was "The Digital Computer" displayed by John Martyn Jr., who con- structed the apparatus. According to John, the machine will add and subtract on the basis of logic circuits. Total cost of con- struction was about forty dollars. John plans to add a memory to the computer which will enable it to store information. A Grade XIII student, he plans to attend the University of Toronto in the Computer Engineering course. —Advance-Times Photo. 'Twas and 'Twill Framing her face was carrot- red hair flipped just a touch at the ends. But the thing that stood out the most were those two eyes, so big as to be out of proportion, almost to her dim- inuitive face. It was this that From nine o'clock in morn, 'til four at night, In school we walk, with heavy books and hearts; The teachers talk and talk with all their might About their English, French and Latin arts. They send us home, with special work to do; A sonnet, scrapbook, essay must be done, For French I must create 'urie hiee. toire' .too". " ' ' - I ask, "Who was it said that school is fun?" All these, and many more will come to us, What can we do, but try to do our best; Our trials are enough to make one cuss, And when we're done, we still can't get a rest.

Again she takes too big a mouth- ful knowing you are looking with a disapproving glance, so she gulps it down twice as fast and says 'souse me' in a wee child tone. You know, how- ever, that small voice deafens the ear when crying over a doll she didn't get. It is forgotten, though, when the guiltlessness of childhood is framed in that face. The professor of law was lec- turing on courtroom procedure. "When you are fighting a case and have the facts on your side, hammer on the facts, If you have the law on your side, ham- mer on the law," "But if you don't have the facts or the law," asked a stud- ent, "what do you do?" "In that case," the professor said, "hammer on the table." "THE BIG EAR", a display by Peter Stem- baugh of St. Marys, demonstrated the cap- abilities of modern electronic equipment to pick up sounds emitted from long dis- tances. Over 36 exhibits were on display at the Midwestern Ontario Science Fair held at the Wingham District High School on Friday. Chairmen of the fair were Brian Caslick and Gary Reed, both students at the Wingham high school, Science Fair BY GARY REED Last Friday the efforts of a handful of students reached a successful climax. The third annual Science Fair was a suc- cess to exhibitors, judges and committee members alike. This fair is the only student organized science fair in Can- ada and is sponsored by the gen- erous contributions of various industries and individuals in our area. Exhibitors from all parts of Mid-Western Ontario com- prise this fair and receive re- wards in cash prizes and tro- phies for their efforts in the field of physical and biological science. The top school this year was St. Marys High School. Indi- vidual prizes went to Joe Den- Tandt of Woodstock, Allan C Campbell of Woodstock, and Paul Bailey, St. Marys, in the field of biological science and Dan Bennett of Woodstock, Har- vey McFadden of Paisley and Jim Doyle, St, Marys, in the physical science, The top girls` exhibit was that of Lesley Mac- iver and Kathy Carter of St. Marys, The top communica- tion's prize went to Peter Stem- haugh of St. Marys for his ex- hibit on the "Big Ear". The Mid-Western Ontario Science Fair not only marks the achievement of the students at W.D.H.S. but also shows the promise that today's students will build on and expand the scientific knowledge of yester- day. • Teacher:.
