'Young" people today have been called
almost . everything imaginable, from lazy '
,and 'sloppy to drug addicts and alcoholics.
Qbyiously, ,' it is unfair to place all
young people under one heading and

These words conjure up a picture "of
the West — mountains, prairies, '

The Geography Club of Saugeen
District High School has been
planning for over a year to visit the
CanadianWest .We leave -May -14th by
-train for 10 days.
TO raise money we. have devoted
many of our Saturdays to working.
We cleaned the Port Elgin beach,
svyept the. main street, washed
and; waxed cars, made egg rolls, heltd a
bottle drive, washed windows, cleaned,
and painted -buildings and raked
:countless lawns. _ we -even -imported ..a
'40 -piece brass_«. band ,from
Peterborough for ,two concerts. Both
the band and ' our club were
0 MIM
disappointed in the lack of audience.
Although we earned about $3,000
we still , need $2,500 to reach our
quota?T& earn this money, we have
undertaken a blitz Of projects. Lest

making egg rolls. The brass band from

HEAVEN—AND WHO WILL GO THERE
Most people are surpr,sed when
they learn that the Otd Testament,
though three times as large as. the
New, doesnot contain one single
_promise about going' to heaven.
God's people, in Old Testament
times, looked forward to °a glory
fled ,earth, with Messiati as its •
•
Ruler.••
This was so even , when dins
Lord was on earth end ®through
Pentecost. • Peter. address> his
kinsmen just after Pentecost. said
in essence::Repent, and God w l)
send Jesus down here" (See Acts
° 3:19.20); but Paul. in his epistles.
'says by divine .,nspiration; Be
lieve. and God will take you up
there.,'
This apostle of grace teaches
us that God has already given be,
itevers in Christ a position and
''all spiritual blessings: in heaven
In Christ (Eph- 2:4.6: 1:3). And
he teacher further that at , the
close of this dispensation of, grace
"the dead .in Christ shall rise":
arid "we ' which are alive and re-
main shall be caught up together
. to meet the Lord . . and so
shall we ever be with the Lord"
(I Thes. 4:16,17).
Thus it` Is that Paul. God's spe-
cial apostle for our day,' declares
that "our citizenship s in heaven"
(Phil- '3:20) and write'; of 4, the
oA
hope which is laid up for you In
heaven' (Col. 1:5). Thus it is that
tie encourages persecuted saints,
saying: "Ye . took joyfully the
spoiling of your goods, . knowing
that ye have-+ -heaven'a bet-
ter and an enduring substance"
(Heb. 10:,34) And thus he'' writes
eveiv-o
"For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle' were dis-
solved. we have a budding of God.

SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
"non-verbal" clues
wh ch least indicate the degree
of icompatibility of two men on�meeting. ,
The sub_ get nan employ tone of voice, nods and facial expression$ on --
much the same lines as dogs do, [However, it is, hoped that this
simile will not be taken too literally, or pushed to extremes.]
Iiruschev ;Was an example of a man with a non-verbal ,stamp of
personality, as witness the occasion whenhe took off his shoe in the
U.N. meeting and beat on the desk ;with it.His . meaning wits
expressed in a universal language:. Le bon General de Gaulle is
. another example, but in his case his face gave nothing away.

handshake such as L.B.J. used -to bestow on, an African leader: The
Anglo-Saxon variety is usually formal and distant -- at arm's length
— the grip quite uncommitted. Then there is the Judo grip, which
Vatican r protocol prescribes. The iron -grip of the iron» curtain
attitude. The European style: the strong handshake of"equals. Then;
the side by side handshake, especially devised for TV,r press
photographs, which is intended to 'denote co-operation. Finally there
is the all too familiar cold, wet fish handshake, usually one-sided, yet ° '' t'
enthusiasts tell me they are still hopeful of witnessing the
conjunction of two wet fishes.•
That would be .a , museitm-piece, worthy of Roberts' Science -
Centre, if the kids haven't wrecked it again.
But before you start your collection, Beware! there are other
factors which explain the compatibility of the protagonists. For
• example the cultural demands of certain races. The Arabs are said to
,require a lot of physical contact. Latin Americans insist on coming •
so close to you that it might be considered undue intimacy. Finally

Q
HOUSE EVALUATION BY
,THE McKEOUGH METHOD
On Monday,-, March 17, Mr. Benson appealed to the °Ontario
Association of Real Estate Boards to help devise. a "simple method
of house valuation."
Of course, he could not have come to a better 'ole, because we,
here in this very Province, have a Minister who has solved this
—problem. (At any -rate to his own .-satisfaction, if -to-no-oaeselse..)
For Mr. ' Darcy, McKeough is in the -process -of •cornpetingh
William I 'of England and Normandy, who nine hundred years ago, -
when there was no inflation and no housing shortage, undertook a
complete assessment of ALL the houses in Britain. It. was a
monumental' effort. and the ruins of the schools William erected all
over .El gland, in order -to give his Corps of Assesvars their six weeks
training; have never been discovered to this dap .
' Now, if after,$14 million (this is only the estimated figure, better
multiply by 1Q..as in India,) Darcy McKeoughand his°Battalion of
Assessors, have not found a ."simple method of house valuation,"
_where, yin heaven's name are we to look? So why worry the Real
Estate Board, when a veritable modern Domesday Book experiment
is under weigh in this very ,Province? Does Darcy assign some secret
potion which gives his 700 plus assessors an astuteness toward their.
assignment which assists them to assimilate the assumption that
assessments are arbitrary? If'he does, it is not enough, for as every
Ontario suckling knows, the value of a house depends on what "thee
market" will pay for it. And what "the market" will pay depends'on
how many people are determined to buy; on where the house is
tuated; on its state o° repair; on its type of ,fabric; on its location
dative to amenities.. In 'simple terms: You'can fool all the people all
the time, but you cannot fool the law of Supply and,Demalid.
Now, what Mr. Benson is . askie Aea ' Estate �oa`t"`i''" : ow

You will at once ask:g
McKeough -done it? The Answer: Byswallowing a camel!- In other
words, by the subterfuge' that there IS no law of Supply and
Demand.
or in close proximity to one
another.
Alex . McLeod is busy erecting
a new wire fence for Township
Clerk McDonagh.
Alex Young sold ,his 'hackney
filly • yesterday , to John
Johnston, of Auburn, ata big
figure.
Will Stewart's 'shingle mill
passed through here last week to
cut shingles for Samuel
Gardiner, 4th concession.
Will Mister Benson follow Mister _McKeough's lead? No! It is part
of Mister Benson's' technique to propound problems which are,.
acknowleged to. be insoluble so long as the customg'and laws 'oto
present society pertain. When no one can supply an answer to his
insoluble problem (which he himself ..has reared) he will proceed to
solve it as per his original brain wave in'his White Paper, which
involves in time, a nation of aecountants.
Mister Benson has to learn a very ancient (circa 1066)1 piece of
-lore, viz: Don't involve yourself in trying to solve impossible
problems. What can poor Mister B. do? The only way out for him is
to dictate thevalue'of all the houses i,n Ontario. Then, increase their
value by four percent pernnum to cover the infliltion nobody dares
to deflate. `
If all this is too difficult for you„ to understand, consider this fairy
tale. A collector of antiques decided to bring 'Gaernarvon•.Gastle from
Wales, stone by stone and erect it on the site of the Goderich Town
Dump, on the bank or the Maitland, 'alias the Huron Open Sewer.
When Mister McK. asthma the castle it might be assessed for one
million dollars Canadian. But before the owner has been able to pay
any tax to the town, he dies without issue.'The castle reverts. to the
Town and is immediately turned into p Trailer Camp, bringing in
5600 p.a: Now the $64 dollar question is: Why . is Mr. ,-McK's x
assessment irieorrect?'
Answers should be mailed (postage free) to the Honourable. Eager
Benson, -M. P., House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario, as early as
poskible so that that piece of the W. P. can be thrown into the W. P.
