Guest speaks on water
resources, pollution
George Todd of the district
engineering branch of the On-
tario Water Resources Commis-
sion was guest speaker at the
Business and Professional Wo-
men's Club Tuesday night of last
week. Speaking on The Crisis in
Human Environment, the desig-
nated February theme of the
Canadian Federation B&PW ,tMr.
Todd was introduced by Mrs.
Fraser Forgie, convener for the
evening.
Mr. Todd noted that over the
years the increase in population.
and vast industrial 'development
has gradually led to shortages 9f
water and the pollution problems
of today. The OWRC was origin-
ally formed in 1956 to, protect
water resources. However, as
quality,, of life is becoming more
important and people are made
aware of the need to improve the
environment," the ,Commission
will eventually become part of
the Provincial Department of
Environment.
A 15 -minute film on pollution
was shown and Mr. Todd invited
questions. When asked what local
people can. do to assist in the
pollution fight, he replied:
(1) Co-operate with such agen-
cies as OWRC in improving water
and sewage systems; (2) If you
know of a problem, report it to
the OWRC or your local council
so that action can be taken;
(3) A considerable amount of
pollution could be elminated if
everyone practised "good house-
keeping" in all phases.
Mr. Todd was asked about
industrial pollution., There is
legislation under which indus-
tries. can be heavily fined for
pollution, but more is usually
accomplished through co-opera-
tion and warnirfgs.. He added that
'So.. at present OWRC is working with
a great many industries to
schedule a plan of elimination, of
sewage and industrial waste.
New industries must, conform to
standards set by the Commission
before they can begin operation.
On behalf of the Club and many_
guests present, Miss Yvonne Me -
Pherson thanked Mr. Todd for a
most interesting and informative
evening.

How Com.?
Why is it that several of our
school teams have not been
supplied with some of the funda-
mental equipment which their
sport requires? Let's first con-
sider an article of equipment
which is very important on a
number of school teams and not
supplied: sweat suits.
There are at least four teams
that should have these supplied to
their members and they are soc-
cer, wrestling, cross-country and
gymnastics. If you've ever seen
any of those cross-country fana-
tics quivering like guitar strings
on blustery October afternoons,
you'll easily sympathize with
their need for sweat suits. How=
ever, there may be some doubt in
your minds as to why gymnasts
and wrestlers who practise and
compete indoors need them.
There are numerous reasons,
the primary one being that gym-
nasiums are • often chilly and in
competition, an athlete requires
warmer clothing when he is wait-
ing for his turn to compete. When
he is training, hissweat suit acts
as a blotter to soak up perspir-
ation. Without it, there is a good
chance of catching cold. The last
reason is significant, if not com-
plete in itself; team sweat suits
add to the team's unity and pride.
We need sweat suits!
Another item badly ,needed is
the gymnastic uniform. Gymnas-
tics is a sport very similar to
figure skating or ballet in that the
competitor must take close .care
of his appearance. Can you
imagine Karen Magnusson per-
forming in shoddy leotards?
Well, it's no more pleasant for
our people in gymnastics to wear
gym suits while their opponents
are properly attired. •
Can't something be done about
it?

What Is School Spirit?
Many brag about how good it is,
others moan about the lack of it.
Is it best symbolized by Joe Cool,
Snoopy or Charlie Brown? Per-
haps all three have something to
contribute.
The basic question is: "What
do we mean by school spirit?" No
doubt each student has his own
definition, though perhaps most
definitions would contain the
same basic ingredients.
Could we say it rests on any
group being proud to belong to
some organization? People seem
to take moree pride in ,an
organization that is 'successful.
Thus many people say that a
school with a winning football
team has good school spirit. This
is partially true. but since, only
one team wins in any sport, last-
ing spirit must be• something
deeper. Pride in one's school
rests on what the school provides
in terms of service in helping the
individual to find opportunities to
grow in his ability .to think and
understand, and in his social abil-
ity to work with people. Thus any
school that strives, no matter
how imperfectly, to teach these
basic human goals will havegood
school spiri't..Yet like all things in
life, the input energy used in
striving for these goals will equal
the output energy of providing
service for . others. Thus input

Terry Litzen teaches physical
education and health to all the
Grade 11 and f2 boys. He also
coaches the junior boys' basket-
ball team.
He was born in Hamilton and
then moved to Dundas, just out-
side Hamilton. It was there he
received his early education.
After graduation from Dundas
District High School he went to
McMaster University for his
B.A., B.P. (Bachelor of Arts,
Bachelor of Physical Education)
degrees. ,Then he attended the
University of Western Ontario for
his M.A. ilk physical education.
He lives in Wingham but heads
to the city every weekend. He'
misses the smog?!
, He is very sports -minded which
is an asset for a Phys. Ed.
teacher, eh ! He enjoys hockey
and he has 'played- Junior B and
Varsity for McMaster. In the
summer he plays hardball, Inter-
mediate A. He also coaches hard-
ball in Hamilton.
Mr. Litzen doesn't ski. This
should be underlined because he
is the first new teacher we've
interviewed who hasn't said, he

aren't stereotyped after all!
Mr. Litzen finds the students
co-operative but he said he was
completely surprised at the lack
of spirit, also commenting that
they don't have the drive of com

There are some changes he
•would like to see, such as co-ed
health and physical education
classes and a three -system option
He doesn't know what the
future holds for him but whatever
it is, good luck Mr. Litzen. •
The school page staff has
decided to only prepare the page
every other week. There seems to
be more news over two weeks and
it gives us all more time to get the
articles ready for publication.
Unless there is some big scoop,
we won't be back' for two weeks.
There seems to be an abun-
dance of four-day weeks or a
severe case of blizzard fever..
School was called off, on Tuesday,
January 31 and again this past
Friday. About 100 town students
were 'ale to makeit and they
were put to good 'use until 11:3b,
when school was dismissed.

In case you didn't notice, what

was also called off. After decid-

would be no place. to have it as
both gyms were in use. Better
luck next year! 1
