this gnawing feeling in the back
of my head. It's the kind of suf-
focating ache that makes me
want to tell the whole world'
whereto get off,
You see, I'm an individualist,
I hate being told I have to do
something simply because
someone else has made a
decision, and I must obey. I hate
• ' doing things that have no `pur-
pose. I hate having someone
throw their weight around. I
hate it!
And so it really bothers me to
have to be a part of this great
bureacracy-made up of red tape,
and rules, and regulations.
And I know I'm not alone.
Everyone of you wants freedom
— the chance to make up your
own mind, to do the, things you
want to do, to live your own life.
Right? •
Well listen. People have tried
to flatter us — but still we don't
listen to their rules. OK. I'll
play it straight. The only way to
keep our freedom is to get rid of
the rules and those who enforce
them. And it's not by protesting,
campaigning or by ignoring the
issue. Why do you think we have
all these • rules anyway? Is it
because some dude enjoys
making them up, and enforcing
them? In the odd case, yes, but
for the most part it's because

this. It's our fault the rules are
here. If we were considerate of
those around us, there wouldn't
be a need for police, or jails, or
prefects, or red tape, or rules
and more rules, or all the other
r
things that we say hinder our
freedom-,
But until We realize this, the
prefects are going to watch,
prowl, fight, bicker, snarl, com-'
plain, and generally do their
damnedest to enforce these.
rules.
I say it's our fault that we
have prefects. If we want
freedom, let's forget the com-
plaining, and act like real
people. For God's sake, let's
smarten up!

Bill Grace, a Former Goderich
resident and a son of Mrs. W. H.
Pridmore, 'Picton Street, recen-•
tly received the highest award
given by Bell Canada.
Mr. Grace, 35, a Bell Canada
cable repairman, earned the
award by rescuing a woman
-from a London motel pool in
July. He was passing the motel
when he 'heard the screams of
the woman's two daughters. Mr.
Grace dove into nine feet of
water to pull, the woman to
safety and applied mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation.
The award was made by R.
W, Crowley of Toronto, vice-
president of Bell's western area
• and included a stereo tuner.
A graduate of GDCI, Mr.
Grace moved to London from
Goderich eight years ago.

-
Dr. G.F. Mills, the medical of-
ficer of health for Huron
County, carne to the .school to
introduce a film on drugs, called
"At Your Doorstep", which was
shown to the -entire student body
'Wednesday afternoon. In -his in-
troduction Dry Mills reminded
us of the increasing problem
(even on the "doorstep". of
Wingham) andthe tremendous
need for parents and kids to
have a general, basic knowledge
on the subject.
The entire film was a lecture
given in 1971 by Art Linkletter,°
who has become a predominant
figure in the fight against drug
abuse. With tears in his eyes he
told. how his entire ,career .had
been altered since his youngest
daughter's "dreadful, dreadfUl
accident" a few years ago. Since
then he has travelled around the
world, collecting information
and has become ars expert of the
experts.
He;, thinks that the basic
problem stems from` a home
�
where ,parents are trying to be.
"pals" and not "parents'"! A
lack of love is definitely in-'
volved here, too, he thinks, and
says that kids all across the ilvest
are turning to Jesus Christ and
finding in Him the real • love
they have missed at home.
When they give their heart and
life to Christ they are
miraculously changed and cured
by Him in a way unequalled by
