There once was a swig
ant named Arty, -who firmly
believed that no ant should
ave to slave an summer in Pr'
der to eat all winter.'UMW*
opinion, the whole thing was
preposterous. 'It was time ant*
got with it and got in line
with the swing of things,' he
thought. So, while all the
other ants bustled thither and,
yon gathering food, Arty lay
in the shade and thought of his •
Big Plan to free all ants from
labour. In future generations
it would be known as the Arty
Plan.
Arty got away with all his
laziness because he had person-
ality. Oh, my,. yes! No one ,
could deny Axty's charm. Girl
ants said, "Oh, la, la, that
Arty really sends me! I mean,
really! ! "
Boy ants sometimes felt like':
booting him across the country.;
but didn't because, darn it all,
Arty—the lazy shyster --had
brains, and all males admire
brains in other males.
No one ever offered any sat-
isfactory explanation as to why
Arty had blains. Maybe they
thought that 'anyone who could
live, around an, ant hill without ,
Working must have something!
"If I just had one fourth of
Arty's mentality," they told
*themselves, "I wouldn't be
dragging this darn cake crumb
around.'"
Even the Queen Ant who was
a real "slave-driver" as far as
work was concerned, had a soft -
spot for Arty. He was lazy, but -
he.Stkiderits
he was charming and such good
'.company, and so, clever! One
'couldn't lmhi:m starve! Each
fall she took hini back into the
ant hill where he promptly set-
tled himself in the warmest'
corner to think about his Big
Plan all winter.
However, all good things
come to an end, and circum-
stances alter cases, as the say-
ing goes.
It was a hot day --the Queen
Ant had a headache, her corset
was laced' too tight and a
thoughtless boy had stuck his
fishing pole into the ant hill, •
, and Arty was resting in the shade
of the corn kernel which had
fallen on her big toe. -
"Arty; " she said coldly, or
.maybe hotly, "I will have a
word with you. This is your
last day in the ant hill. You
are a bad influence on the
young. They are holding dem-
onsteationt, Now either you
work and I. mean WORK, or out,
you go! I have spoken. "
They were hard words and
Arty skulked off behind a mound
of earth to think about them.
To be left out in the cold meant
exit one Arty. He must think!
Slowly Arty became aware
of something, He wasn't rest-
ing behind a mound of earth,,•
but behind 'a whole chocolate
cookie, left there by some over -
r indulged child -on a picnic.
Arty "lest his cool".' He ran in
circles. Why;' here was his
plan all in one piece! He would
live inside the chocolate cook-
ie all winter, maybe several

A short -time agodi9'
10 and 11 students attended an'
'assembly sponsored by the Huron
County Health' Unit for the pur-
pose of warning against the
hazards of smoking. A film
was shown, and students were
addressed by a speaker.
It seemed at the time that
the assembly served its purpose
since several teachers and five
times as many students publicly
committed themselves to the
ranks' Of non-smokers. To find
out if the warning was as ef-
fective as it may have seemed,
I interviewed a few students to
get their impressions. •

Ken Rae thought that in gen-
eral the assembly seemed con-
vincing. 'Although Ken said
the film.seerned realistic
enough in its stand against
smoking, he thought the most
effective part was that teachers
were willing to resign from the
habit. This is real ly. what
made the students consider stop-
ping.
„Several years ago the present
grade 12 .and 13 pupils Cwho
were not included in last week's
assembV) saw, a similar film
on the subject. I asked Ken if
he thought the seniors should
have.been allowed to see it
again. He thought it would
have been a good idea, even
if they had seen if before, to
keep them thinking. •
Lately there, has been ni'uch
talk of introducing informative
films and discussions into sdhbols
to make the horrors of drug ad-
diction and alcoholism real
to students. Ken was all for
this idea because he thought it
should be pointed out 'to us how
bad thes,e things really can be.

Mark Fisher thought the film
was fairly good. He apparently
didn't think it was overly pow-
erful since he felt tome -stu-
dents would make an effort to
stop smoking as a result of the
assembly, yet there were others
who wouldn't really care. Even
if some did quit, they couldn't
"stick with ie. He thought it
would have been worthwhile to
refresh the seniors with warn-
ings by letting them see the
'film too.
Films on alcoholism and
drugs? Mark was in favor of
this since it would make stu-
dents realize the hazards.
Whether they would heed the
warnings or not would depend
on how well 'the film dealt with
the topic -..how realistic it was.

she, admitted that it wasn't
realistic enough to make the
majority 'of the students break
the habit. Stopping would be
a matter of will power rather
than the film. Anne would
like to see the film shown to
12's and 13'ssince it was quite
possible they had forgotten
through the years, and it,would
give them "some food for
thought". Anne was also in fa -
Ver of information being given
to students pn alcohOlisni and
drug addiction.

Debbie Gibson was of the
opinion that the., fi 1 m was
• "nothing great". She thought
students would not stop smoking
because of what th4 heard
Friday afternoon. Many of the
volunteers who went to the
front to commit themselves did'
it merely as a 'joke. Debbie'
said they may cut down some
but she was dubious that the
entire group would break, the
habit., The senior grades should
have seen the film,_ too, but
she would like to see' more con-
vincing informative films in
future.
Debbie attended the Toc
Alpha Conference during the
isinW 401140.0..v 11.41-9V c
pose of the convention was to
inform young people about al-
eoholism.. From h experience
she felt films on ic
are needed in the scheo . Stu-

ed as she and others who attend-
ed the conference have been
on the subject. ,

'Dave Ohm shared the opin- •
. ion that the film lacked real-
ism. He knew for a fact that
some of he students who vowed
to break the habit returned to
school on Monday with the. us-
ual pack in their pockets. They.
may have tried to stop but
couldn't. Dave thought better
results would' be achieved, by
actually letting students visit
hospital patients suffering from
smoking diseases.. He was con-
vince4 that it would have been
useles6 to let senior grades see
the film' since they wouldn't
quit anyway.
. Dave thought films on drug
addiction and, alcoholism could
meet with some success if they
mere 'more convincing than the
film on smoking. However, it
was his opinion that no matter
how well informed some young,
people.are, they just can't re-

things for "kicks".

dom of his Big Plan -'a choco-
late cookie for every ant!
Arty collected his wits. No -
one must find his secret. He
worked harder than ever, before
finding food for the ants to,ga-
ther far removed from the cook-
ie.
Queen Ant was quite im-
pressed. She was pleased that
she did not have to keep her
promise and evict Arty. As I
said, Arty had charm.
When fall came and time to
close up the ant hill, to the
amazement of all, Arty re-
fused to enter.
When all the other ants had
settled themselves Safely and
warmly in their ant hill, Arty
scurried to his precious cookie.
He was finally ready. He
had invited some of his friends
to spend the winter because he
was so positive that life would
be easy.
Everything went smoothly
until one day disaster struck: a
storm. Arty didn't realize that
cookies melt. Suddenly, the
whole roof caved in .on Arty
and his friends, literally His
Big Plan had melt ed away,
