Dairy Queens conduct party October 28 the Hurondale 2 (b) 4-11 club held their sixth meeting at the home of Sheila Dougall. The Dairy Queens held a party and each invited a friend and mother. At the party we started with a lit- tle game so everyone could get acquainted with each other. Then we played a game where you had to guess what picture of a dairy product was on your back. After that we split into.groups and acted out commer- cials for everyone. While the lunch was being prepared two people put on a skit to music while other people sang. Then we sat down and had strawberry and cherry cheesecake, herb dip with vegetables, punch and chocolate ice-cream we made ourselves with an ice-cream maker. These tasted delicious and everything went well. STUDENT COUNCIL AT MOUNT CARMEL The 1986-87 student until at Our lady of Mount Carmel School was chosen recently.

Y Need coping strategies Loneliness hits all ages No date on Saturday night? To teenagers this spells loneliness. For people in their 70s, loneliness may be a constant companion following the deaths of a spouse and close friend., Loneliness is a pervasive.problem in North America, as evidenced by the number of single bars, datingser- vices and senior citizens clubs, says. University of Guelph psychology pro- fessor Linda Wood. Family disintegration and the increasing role of television in daily life are associated with the current "epidemic of loneliness", as is socie- ty's emphasis on individualism and self-reliance, she says. In additon to causing personal pain, loneliness can be a factor in poor health, depression, alcoholism and suicide. Wood's . research interest in loneliness involves an attempt to describe the various forms and mean- ings of that experience. Wood studied loneliness among the rural elderly to gain a better understanding of its overall nature. She found that young people tend to see loneliness as an emotional ex- perience, people in their middle age see it as an attitude, and older people see it as a condition of life. A 19 -year-old heading off to college, for example, may experience tem- porary loneliness until she makes new friends, but her mother left at home may feel lonely for a long time. Young people blame loneliness on personal failure; the elderly attribute it to their life situation. Wood says many older people are reluctant to discuss these feelings because they don't want to be seen as complainers. The University of Guelph psychologist Wood also found that society views loneliness in a negative way. If you're lonely, you must be socially inept. And although it's con- sidered "bad" to be lonely, society sees it as even worse not to be lonely in certain situations, she says. For ex- ample, if you're recently widowed and don't admit to profound and debilitating loneliness, people ques- toin your devotion to the deceased. Wood says people in such situations have two choices. They can either show their feelings and appear weak -- the expected reaction – or they can hide them. They then run the risk that people will think less of them for their failure to display the appropriate emotion.' Wood sees the central paradox of loneliness in its non-social and social aspects. It is a private, inner psychological experience, but at the same time it results from the absence of shared understanding in human relationships, a factor that is common to the way all people talk about loneliness. Wood believes it is important for therapists to understand the way in- dividuals and society look at loneliness so they can develop coping strategies and measures of this ex- perience. There is a tendency, she says, to treat loneliness as a prpblem that can be dealt with and eliminated, .rather than as a basic and inevitable part of being human. As long as peo- pie are forming attachments, she says, they have something to lose. Welcome 10 our CO111?114)) C1 i'1S1117(1S i 111('1 (MI 11 ( )110 O! s(',N( )11,11 (/01;01N.
