Toronto Writers By Bill Smiley A chap called Itichard J. Need- ham writes a daily newspaper column in Torontq. Quality and content range from high-class to hog -wash, but it is eminently readable. Needham is not a true humor- ist, but has a sharp satiric sense, a wild imagination, and a clear view of the ridiculosity of many of our moral, social, political and economic fairy tales. Despite the clear view, he is an incorrigible romantic, a 1966 model` Don Quixote who tilts at windmills with a typewriter,' forces flowers on strange ladies, and th=inks,, of life and love in capital letters. He's a literary burglar and a bellowing 'non- conformist. Interesting fellow. But he has a couple of blind spots. He hates the educational system and has a blatant con- tempt for today's young people. Sounds psychological, Perhaps he was 'turfed out of school, 'OF dropped out, or had some rotten teachers. But he despises the whole business. For him, the educational sys- tem is a -vast, soilless mpn.olith, whose sole aim iS to crush the spirit of youth, indoctrinate it with all the wrong ideas, and fail to teach it anything about LIFE. He's great on LI:r'E. For him, teachers are a bunch of dull clods. whose only desire is to stuff kids with • useless in- formation and promptly squelch any signs of. initiative or crea- tivity. For him, modern students are a sorry lot, unadventurous. inar- ticulate, security -minded ,and materialistic. Well, I'tn here to tell brother Needham it's time he got into Circle Hears Need For Mission Band Leader Knox Arthur Circle met on Sept. 19 for the first fall meeting. Edna Pollock and her group were in charge of the devotions. Ruth Skeoch gave a Bible reading, subject: The Good Samaritan: Sadie -Gilders offered a prayer. Betty—Mac- Kenzie read the minutes and Christena Hyde gave the trea- surer's report. Edna Pollock spe on the theme,. Ye Are My Witness. Betty MacKenzie read the poem, Churches. The Lord's Prayer was repeated by all. Alice Mc- raw played the piano for the singing of symns. There ;is an urgent need for a mission band or C.O.C. leader. Donations to the bale for Mani- toba Indians were received by Willa Rivett. Betty Dyke, Mary Wray, Ruth Skeoch and Edna Pollock were thanked for their Splendid' leadership and hard work at the C.G:IT: camp last weekend at K to itl it A cookin=g sehooI will be held in the Goderich District Col- legiate, Oct. 5, at' -8.m.

In the first instance we must establish whether there is a definite demand for such accommodation, and this can only .be achieved if interested families complete and return survey questionnaires. • THE RENTS would be geared to income, tenants paying a percentage of their gross income in rent regardless of the size of Hie unit. The houses would probably be either row or semi-detched design. Units could have up to four or five bedrooms. • QUESTIONNAIRES, •are being sent to all tenants in the municipality in order to determine the number of applicants who would be interested in obtaining the pyo, posed type of rental accommodation.

His ideas are pure poppycock. Sure, the educational system is a vast monolith. What do you do with 6,000,060 kids? Shove them into the streets to learn about LIFE? But it's far from soul -less. On the . contrary, it's composed of men and• women with intelligence, goodwill and understanding, who work tire- lessly to improve the system for the benefit of the students. Sure, teachers are dull clods. Some of them. ' Just as some doctors, lawyers, ministers and columnists are. dull clods. But the great majority work their heads to the bone, shoving,' urg- ing, exhorting, encouraging and leading the youngsters to adult* hood, :i 0 0 And the students? Are they a sad, beaten crowd, cowed by authority, eager for security, afraid to think for themselves? This is what Mr. Needham, with his -Victorian view of schools, would have us believe. Hah! • A few are. But the majority are just the Apposite. They are rebellious. daring, adventurous, and just ,busting to have a whirl at life, as youngsters have been since the time of Socrates. Right now my son, who is 19, is either (hitch -hiking across Canada, on his way home, or headed for Mexico.

Right now, my daughter who is 15, is belting out folk songs which she wrote herself, to keep her mind off her sore ears. She had them pierced yesterday. for earrings. And right now, all over town, 1,200 kids from our high school are, ignoring their homework and yvatching TV, or shooting pool, or gassing on the -phone, or falling in love, or riding motor- cycles. ,They're certainly not cowed by authority. or squelch- ed by the system, or indoctrin- ated by anything, except human nature.
