KIN<`;MA - In loving memory of
a dear wife. mother and grand
mother. 'Pena, who passed away
one year ago November 30, 1982.
Lithe did I know that morning;
The sorrow that day would bring.
The call was sudden, the shock
• severe,
'1'o part with one 1 loved so dear.
You didn't have time to say
farewell
or for me to say goodbye,
You had gone before 1 knew it.
And only God knows the reason
why.
One precious to my heart is gone.
The voice I loved is stilled,
Always a,thought and many a
tear
For one 1 miss and loved so dear
Two beautiful eyes are sleeping.
Two willing hands are still;
For one who is loved very much
Is resting al God's will.
it is sad to walk the road alone,
Instead of side by side,
But to all there comes a moment
When the' ways• of life divide.
I remember the day I met you,
1 knew from that moment on,
That some day you would be
mine
I remember the day Cod made us
one
And the day Ile took you from me.
And the lonely days and nights 1
spend
I think of the good times we
shared.
There were many heartaches
along our path.
And somehow they helped us
grow,
But when I knew you were gone
forever
My whole world fell apart
I think of you with love today,
As I have often done,
1 feel again the hitter blow.
That never should have come.
Sometimes I think I'm dreaming,
For I can't believe it's true.
That I can go on living
When no longer I have you.
I have the memories of the happy
years
When we were all together.
But 1 know you're gone forever.
The joy, the tears, the love, the
fears,
Will stay with me forever.
Lovingly remembered and very
sadly missed h4 her husband

KING MA - In loving memory of
a dear mother and grandmother.
Tena Kingma, who passed away
November :t0, 1982.
We will always remember the
way she looked,
And the way she spoke and
smiled.
The little things she said and did,
Are here with us all the while
She meant so very much to us.
That nothing we can say.
Can tell the sadness in our hearts
As we think of her each day.
It doesn't matter the day or year.
There is always a heartache.
always a tear.
Memories don't fade. They just
grow deep.
For the one we loved, hut could
not keep.
No one knows the grief we share
When we all meet and you're not
there
Life goes on, we know that's true.
But not the same since we lost

Still loved, still missed, still very
dear.

LOST CHILDREN
It's not known how many
thousands of juveniles roam
city streets, dealing with drug
rings, prostitution and steal-
ing, because our society keeps
track of lost cars better than
lost children, says Patricia
Clarke in the December isst,�
of the The United Church
Observer.
Heightened economic anx-
iety in families turns parents
against children and children
onto the streets. Clarke
estimates that 5,000 juvenile
prostitutes walk the streets of
Montreal (more than the
enrolment of that city's
United Church Sunday
schools). Homeless teenagers
compete for space in
downtown missions, she says,
and juvenile crime increased
60 percent between 1974 and
1978. At times the violence is
turned inward. The suicide
rate for young people 15 to 19
is up 263 percent in the last
decade.
Child rearing seemed to be
more successful in the past,
but Clarke lists several
variables that have changed
in a couple of decades: Fami-
ly ,breakdown is com
monplace and always an
emotional crisis for the child;
often one parent is left to rear
the child singlehandedly and
with less than adequate
finances; there is no longer
the support of the extended
family in the neighbourhood,
and no friends to keep watch
for each other down the
block; in two-thirds of the
families both parents work
and, says Margaret
Kirkpatrick of Justice for
Children, a Toronto group,
"The people getting it in the
neck are the kids.
Studies show that the
pressure and stress of pover-
ty can be a major contributor
to child neglect and child
abuse. And increasingly,
parents are directing their
anger and frustrations toward
children, says Clarke, with
5,000 to 9,000 cases of child
abuse and an estimated one in
five girls being sexually
molested at home.
if jobs were made available
for the young, the article
says, half the number would
be off the streets. However,
according to the federal
government, 20 percent of the
16 to 24 -year-olds won't find
jobs. "After five years on
welfare," says Clarke, "the
unemployed may be the
unemployable."•

I don't understand football.
I have tried, but I just don't
understand football- Grey
Cup -- that I understand. In
fact, any excuse for a get-
together is OK by me.
it was rather exciting the
other day when the Toronto
Argonauts won the Grey Cup.
They've never done it before
in my lifetime. it was
especially nice when they
beat British Columbia. You
see, I have many friends in
western Canada who are
often telling about western
superiority, _ and how
"easterners" in Ontario are a
bunch of losers. Well, we;
showed 'em!
At least, 1 think we showed
them -- If I understood more -
about football 1 might know
for sure whether or not we
really did teach them a -
lesson.
Don't get me wrong -- 1 en-
joy sports, when 1 understand
them. I like watching hockey
and take in the Saturday night
game whenever I'm home
and there's nothing better on
television. I enjoy live hockey,
too, either the NHL, or the
• Oldtimers league at Thedford
arena on Monday nights. And
1 never miss a Stanley Cup
game.
usually watch the World
Series, too, and 1 can figure
out the basics of baseball. And
I've been known to cancel
engagements to -stay home
and watch the Briar or the
Silver Broom curling spiels.
But football? i just can't
figure it out. Whenever 1 ask
someone to explain football, 1
invariably get a listing of the
differences between
American and ('anadian foot-
ball, when that wasn't even
the question asked.
The idea that the whole
game changes when it crosses
the 49th parallel is rather con-
fusing right off the bat (or
Should I say pigskin). This is
especially confounding when
one learns that most of the
players in Canada are
Americans.
Last winter when we were
holidaying in Nassau, we met
an American who had played
football for the Saskatchewan
. Rough Riders one season. He
decided that playjslg outdoors
in Regina was too cold, so he
quit football and moved to
The Bahamas. To me, That
seemed to be a very wise
move.
I tried to learn about foot-
ball during my years at
University. One couldn't be a
student at Western in the late
70's without being interested
in football, because in those
days Western was winning

By Mary Alderson
consistently and football was
a very popular topic of con-
versation. Jamie Bone was
our star quarterback and the
heart-throb of all the girls at
Western. I tried to learn a lit-
tle about football so that if 1
bumped into Jamie in the
- library I would be able to
make intelligent converse-
. tion. Trouble was I never once
' saw Jamie studying in the
library. Maybe quarterbacks
don't have to worry too much
about passing courses.
During my 51Fz years al
Western i actually attended
two football games, but they
were homecoming games and
as I said, I'll go along with
any reason for a party.
Now, I have managed to
pick up the add bit of informa-
tion about football on my own.
For example, 1 know that in
the Grey Cup game, things
weren't going very well for
Toronto in the first half. Then
one guy kicked the ball and it
went up in the air and bet-
ween those two posts that
stick .up, and everything
started to changed. Next
thing I knew Toronto was
winning.
Even though I don't unders-
tand the strategy of football,
I'm still better off than one
fellow who was with our
crowd at a homecoming
game. It was a cold and
snowy day, and by half-time
we were freezing. This fellow
asked how many quarters
there were in a football game.
Now isn't that silly?
Everybody knows there are
four quarters -- or is it five?

Microcomputers
prove popular
A recent report to the Mid-
dlesex board of education in-
dicates that the experimental
use of microcomputers in
elementary schools during
the 1982-83 school year was
very successful.
Each of the twenty-one par-
ticipating schools used a
microcomputer for three
weeks with mathematics and
English programs as well as
strategy games.
Approximately 74 percent
of the students and 78 percent
of the teachers at these
schools were able to gain ex-
perience in using the com-
puter. Eighteen schools want
to take part in the program
again next year.
Karl Gross, the Board's Ac-
ting mathematics Resource
Teacher, says that students
and leachers are generally
enthusiastic about taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
learn about computers by us-
ing them. Several schools say
they want more in-service
workshops that include pro-
. gramming; and many schools
say they are interested in
having the computer for a
longer period or having more
computers.
Schools reported that soft-
ware .was, on the average,
good btit that in future they
would like to have software
that is more diversified.
The experiment continues
this year when all elementary
schools will be assigned a
microcomputer for a three-
week period.
