Honesty, thebest policy.?
by Janice Allen
For years you've been
told that honesty is
always the best policy,
but is it really?
Sometimes the truth can
be painful and destruc-
tive. What do you say
when someone you don't
like keeps asking you
out? Or when a close
'friend asks you for your
honest opinion about her
new outfit and you think it
looks horrendous?
Knowing how and when to
be tactful can spare a lot
of hurt feelings.
Psychiatric studies
have shown that com-
plete honesty can be a
sign of real hostility and
sometimes serves no
purpose. Some people are
brutally frank in order to
feel righteous, or to make
themselves feel better.
An opinion that is offered
when it's too late to
change the situation is
more often resented than
it is appreciated. In the
same fashion, criticism
or the "honest truth"
when presented to a
person in the presence of
others, can often be
humiliating and
degrading for that per-
son. Although truth is
important in certain
relationships, any
relationship that is so'
demanding that you feel
forced to "tell all" is not
worth your time.
However, honesty
allows for a genuine
exchange of information
between two people. in
close friendships, a great
deal of frankness may be
appreciated and ex-
pected. Sometimes it is
better to withhold the
truth when another
person's reputation or
feelings are at. stake. At
any rate, it is much
easier to listen to a mildly
expressed opinion than a
dictatorial statement. A
gentle suggestion is much
easier to swallow than a,
blatant command.
Confrontations with
others don't require you
to lie, but often the in-
complete truth is another
word for tact.
Honesty is the best
poky but only if you are
honest with yourself
first.
Just ask Dear Annie
Dear• Annie: Life hap
really been driving me
wild lately. I haven't been
able to get a good nights
sleep for weeks, I can't
wait to finish school in
June, I can't work, I can't
think, I can't get along
with people, I can't stand
it! Why is it that things
are so rotten for me? I
don't enjoy myself, I
don't feel like enjoying
myself, I just get bored.
It's really a drag I'm
trapped from going
-anywhere by the snow
and the TV's on the blink.
I really don't feel like
doing anything. Annie,
can't you help me out of
this rut?—signed-Yawn.
No, I can't it's up to you
to pull out of your rut.
You're the one who put
yokt'rself there, and
there's no one else around -
who feels like pulling you
out if you act as
miserably as you feel.
Just try to do something.
You'll soon be able to
think of something you'd
actually enjoy doing.
Other than that, I'd say
it's up to you. Good Luck.
+++
Dear Annie: I ani a
pschoneuroshem aticon-
eurotic. Actually, I'm
just plain neurotic, but
that sounds fancier. I'm
the original fall -guy,
burn -trip, very proper
Charlie (Brown). I'm a
loser. I wear glasses with
lenses like plate glass, I
have acne and freckles,
flan-fing red hair, a
permanent case of sinus
congestion, and a set of
teeth to scare a bear trap.
(Or to send an or-
thodontist into raptures)
My mom won't let me use
deodorant, and threatens
me with death if I even
think of girls, and my dad
suspects me of stealing
money from him to
support a suspected (on
his part) drug habit. My
classmates think I'm a
joke, but every time they
say I'm a joke, someone
says that my parents had
poor taste in jokes. Annie,
Help!—Dealt a sucker
hand.
Guy, I really feel sorry
for you, so I've got some
suggestions. Instead bf
worrying about your
losing side, and harping
on it, work on your good
points. If you get good
marks, keep it up, if
you're talented in a useful
skill, use it to its fullest
extent. Get a job and
make some money even.
It's no use trying to beat
what you were born with,
but there's nobody yet
who is such a loser that he
can't turn something to
his advantage. Learn to
laugh at your appearance
et al, and work on making
people notice the good
• things you can dp, not the
bad things about you.
This tueek at CHSS
On Valentine's Day,
students of C'HSS tried to
be irresistible to each
other. At the beginning of
the day, each student got
a heart to pin on. Should
he or she smile at a
member of the opposite
sex, the person who got
smiled \at receives the
smiler's 'heart. After
many evasive and tactful
actions, the hearts were
counted up. Blaine Pryce
was the most irresistible
male with 30 hearts.
Gayle Horton was . the
most irresistible female
with 76 hearts, along with
Mary Holmes who came
in close with 74.
Plans for the spring

The Tuckersmith Unit J

their February meeting
on Monday afternoon.

followed with a prayer. A

hopefully expect to see, I repeat, given
a clear sky after the moon's crescent-
shaped shadow begins to appear on the
right-hand side of the sun. Youmust
take the precaution to use some form of
eye protection for the duration of the
eclipse, about two hours, for I
remember in my home town there were
several people who suffered eye
damage.
The ripples of excitement increase as
that seemingly ominous shadow
steadily creeps, menacingly, across
the surface of the sun but the normal
sunlight is not greatly affected until a
little over half way covered. Then the
orange glow gradually deepens
through amber to a crimson red -as may
be seen in sunsets the world ,over,
except on these occasi6ns when the
scene is most volatile and un-
predictable.
Following apparently in prismatic
order, the galaxy of colours are not
only beguiling but are omnipresent
with the •tendency to .reptace, ex-
citement to feelings of awe and utter
amazement. A minute or so before
totality,, that is when the moon's
shadow completely obliterates the sun,
the climax is traumatic. ,As if some
fantastic heavenly curtain in space was
Alice Scott at the piano
and Mrs.. McCartney and
Mrs. Broadfoot both gave
additional readings.
The offering was
received by Mrs.
McCartney and she then
explained why Valen-
tine's Day is celebrated.
The business portion of
the meeting was in
charge of the, president
Mrs. Broadfoot. The
secretary's report was
being drawn clear across the skies,
from one horizon to the other, plunging
everything into a sort of quasi nightfall,
not the black of night that one would
expect, but an uncanny, eerie dense
purple as if portent to some foreboding
calamity.
During those two rapturous minutes
of totality, the dazzling halo of burning
gases surrounding the sun, the corona,
w ich is only ever visible at this par -
ti ular time of an eclipse, appears to
radiate an effervescence and firey
glow of its own complementing the
entire never -to -be -forgot and
fascinating scene. When the shadow
finally begins to move away -from the
sun the kaleidoscope of colours are
'repeated for you, only in reverse. Then,
blessedly, the normal brilliance of the
sun is gradually restored thankfully
dissipating any nervous tensions or
fears you may have been harbouring.
So, if you are contemplating a trip to
Brandon or, Winnipeg in fond hope of
seeing this' eclipse - there won't be
another one in these parts till the year
2017 - I wish you clear skies that
morning or at least a few breaks in the
clouds, for good viewing.
Yours hopefully,
Mr. A. Sourbutts,
Clinton.

No liquor
The Gowanstown WI
want the use of liquor
prohibited in th Wallace
Township Hall.
The Listowel Banner
said a delegation of WI
members asked the
township council to
prohibit the consumption
of liquor in ,the hall,
"under any cir-
cumstances."
The ladies fear that
serving alcohol will lower
the standards of the hall.
Hazel West, leading the
delegation, noted that
non -drinking taxpayers
subsidize the drinkers. A
rate of $10 is placed if
liquor permits are
allowed in the hall.
assiste,1 in the clerk's
office for 18 weeks during
the summer and council
members said, "she was
worth twice her salary."
The village will receive
a provincial grant which
reimburses council for 80
percent of the student's
weekly salary.
Council members also
discussed the street light
situation in the town.
There are presently 42
fluorescent street lights
remaining in the village,
many of these on Hwy. 4.
Other lights in the village
are the more modern
mercury vapour street
lights.
Reeve Harold Knight
suggested changing over
to the newer lights at. the
rate of about 10 lights per
year, over the next four
or five year period. The
old fluorescent lights
which are removed can
then be used for parts to
service the remaining
fluorescent lights until
the changeover is
completed.
He said the fluore-scent
lights are starting toneed
repairs. He said the life of
a fluorescent street light
• is said to be half that of a
mercury vapour light.
Councillor Klaas Van
Wieren said he was in
favor of new lights, "but
we don't get those funny
lights they have in
Goderich."
Council asked the clerk
to get quotations on light
prices for the next council
meeting.
Clerk Betty Oke
reported to council that
there will be a surplus of
approximately $30,000 in
the 1978 budget for -the
village. Mrs. Oke said
items were budgeted for
which didn't come up in
1978, so will likely have to
be included under the
1979 budget.
Some of the expected
expenditures. which
resulted in the surplus
included a $3,600 interest
savings, subsidies from
the provincial govern-
ment were under-
-budgeted, and the costs of
a new drain will be in-
cluded in this year's
budget.
Reeve Harold Knight
said, "There are places it
(the $30,000) definitely
has to go, we just didn't
spend it last year."
