Rural teenagers often fall to set slghts lilgIi Rural teeneagers don't aim as high as their city counter- parts when it comes to educa- tion or jobs, says a professor of extension education at the University of Guelph. A survey of 750 high school students, conducted in Fergus, revealed that those aged 15 and 16 seemed to have lower aspirations than any other age group, says Pro- fessor Douglas Pletsch. In general, aspirations were higher for female students and students whose parents had high aspiration occupations. The terms high and low aspirations are based on a scale developed by American sociologist Archibald Haller of Michigan State University in the 1960s. Essentially, the distinction is between white collar and blue collar posi- tions, says Prof. Pletsch. The ages of 15 and 16 seem- ed to be critical for rural youth - those from farms and those living in town - accor- ding to the study. Most in this group have low aspirations because they are frustrated and don't know where they're going, Prof. Pletsch speculates. Before 15 and 16, their goals appear more clearly defined. This may be because of the emotional tur- moil ofgainingindependence, getting their driver's licence and giving priority to ac- tivities that are more fun than scholastics, he says. Another possibility is that their aspira- tions may have been influenc- ed by the poor economic outlook when the study was conducted. While parents' occupations and education influence a child, schooling and extra- curricular activities are also important in shaping goals. Students entering high school with unproven capabilities and less precise goals are often put into the four-year stream, says Prof. Pletsch, resulting in subse- quent lower aspirations than those in the five-year program. Children growing up in large rural families appear to benefit most from organized extra -curricular activities, MR. AND MRS. JIM MacGREGOR Mary Clare O'Rourke and James Edson MacGregor were united in marriage August 27, 1983 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Mt. Carmel with Rev. Father Joseph Nelligan officiating. The bride is the daughter of Clare O'Rourke of Exeter and the late Dennis O'Rourke. The groom is the son of Don and Audrey MacGregor, also of Exeter. The bride was escorted to the altar by Glenn O'Rourke. The matron of honour was Betty O'Rourke and bridesmaids were Katherine Ens, Heather Buchanan and Barb Abram. Erin O'Rourke was the flowergirl. The best man was John Cooper and guests were ushered by Robert Ens, Gerard O'Rourke and John Bailey. Following a honeymoon to the Bahamas, Mary and Jim are now residing at 189 Sanders St. E., Exeter.

"The outside exposure gained through community activities is important in leadership development,” ex- plains Plof. Pletsch. "The young person learns to feel at ease with other people - a characteristic which is impor- tant in further education or in aspiring to a higher occupa- tional level." While church activities and community sports are positive ex- periences, many rural youth spend their spare time "cruis- ing" up and down streets in cars. "The link between 'cruising' and low aspirations is a vicious circle," says Prof. Pletsch. "It's hard to say which comes first". Prof. Pletsch says urban children often have negative attitudes about rural children and their capabilities. These attitudes are out-of-date, he says, because opportunities for development and educa- tion skills are equally available and the skills need- ed to operate a modern com- mercial farm are comparable to those needed to operate a small business in town. He admits that he is con- cerned about the aspiration scale. "Because a rural per- son's aspirations are somewhat lower than his ur- ban counterpart's he's not any less of an individual or contributor to society," says Prof. Pletsch. "Because high suggests better, the aspira- tion scale implies that a low aspiration is less desirable, but this is not necessarily so. People who dig ditches, farm or become lawyers are all essential to the functioning of a society and one is not necessarily more or less valuable than the other." Prof. Pletsch feels there is definitely a need for more counselling for 15 and 16 year- old students in rural high schools, and more meaningful community activities for students with low aspirations.

Pentecostal ladies meet The September meeting of the Women's Ministries was held in the Pentecostal Church with Mrs. Robert Donnon presiding. The meeting was opened by sing- ing Amazing Grace with Mary Lou Tait at the organ and Iden DesJardine at the piano. Prayer was then of- fered by Helen Smith. The youth pastor's wife, Deborah Cox led in a number of choruses. Shirley Prouty sang a solo "The Master is Come." The offering was received by the usherettes Joan Klempke andJeanKlempke. A letter from our home mis- sionary in Mississaga, Mrs. Buetcher, was read by Ruth McLaren, after which she in- troduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Verna Austin, missionary from Tiawan who with her husband and family is now home on furlough. Mrs. Austin spoke for a short time, after which she showed slides pertaining to their work in Taiwan. She told of how they were accepted in Tiiwan and many stories of how hearing the gospel by many young people affected their lives causing them to ac- cept Jesus as their personal Saviour and also of the many young men who have trained in their Bible School and now are going out to tell their own people the wonderful story of Life. Brenda Triebner then sang a solo accompanied on the piano by Carolyn Perry, the solo entitled "Fill Me With Your Love."
