lido, None of these have come
up in my Latin class, so far. If
I have to teach the stuff, about
all I can do is hurl myself on the
tender mercy of the students. And
teenagers, on the whole, have a
quality of mercy about as tender
as that of the Emperor Nero.

The university is crawling with
teachers in the summer. They all
look very serious, but I have a
lurking suspicion that most of the
men, a any rate, are taking some
sort of special course solely for
the purpose of getting away from
their families for a few weeks. An
ignoble though, perhaps, but fun-
damentally sound. There's nothing
wrong with leaving a woman to
cope alone with the house and chil-

It's funny, when I went home
for my first week end, I thought
my wife would be fascinated with
my Latin, the dolls in the lass,
my time -table, which gives me af-
ternoons off, and all that stuff.
She wasn't even interested. She
just gave one hard, long look and
started listing all the troubles
she had during the week.

However, I cheered her up while
she was doing my laundry, late
Friday night. I sat there cooling off
with a long drink, and called in-
teresting little anecdotes about
summer school to her, as she fil-
led the tubs. Pretty soon she cea-
sed complaining altogether, and
stalked off to bed, pausing only
to observe, in measured terms,
that she'd lost five pounds in the
last week.

It was different with the kids,
though. They were delighted to see
me, and I got huge hugs and kis-
ses. They listened enthralled to
my gay little tales of summer
school. For about four minutes,
before silently sliding out of the
room into the outdoors.

Oh well, I suppose I can't expect
them to realize what I'm going
through here in the horrid city,
while they sport around in the
cool north country. Why, some
days it's so hot I don't really en-
joy my afternoon nap, and I scarc-
ely have the energy to walk the
three blocks to the air-conditioned
movie, in the evening. However,

Students Attend UN Seminar
Carried Out At Western University
(Two Grade 13 students, Patri-
cia Pegg, Clinton, and Jeanne Et-
ue, Zurich, reported on a United
Nations seminar at which they re-
presented Clinton District Colle-
giate Institute.)
On June 28, 128 senior students
from Southern Ontario high scho-
ols converged upon the University
of Western Ontario campus to be-
gin the seventh annual United Na-
tions Seminar, sponsored jointly
by the University and the Lon-
don branch of the United Nations
Association.
Well-known authorities anted as
lecturers and leaders for the.
three-day programme which em-
phasized the work of the United
Nations in solving the political,
economic, and cultural problems
of the Middle East.
The aim of the seminar, to in-
form the students accurately '5o
that they could stimulate interest
in the I.N in their communities,
was achieved through a full and
informative programme. In addi-
tion, provision was made for such
social activities as a civic banquet,
a tour of the University, a dance,
and a visit to Stratford to see
"King John."
After opening speeches by the
president of the United Nations As-
sociation of London branch, the
vice-president of the University,
the director of the seminar, and
a visiting doctor from the Univer-
sity of Rangoon, the students were
addressed by Hugh Bremner of
CFPL Radio and Television, who
gave his impressions of the world
situation and the tasks facing the
United Nations.
Mr. Bremner opened' a lively
question period which was indi-
cative of the keen exchanges of

DID YOU?
But waste baskets and gutters are constantly being filled with un-
opened expensive direct advertising, sales ammunition shot into the
air.
Your Local newspaper always commands an audience with prospec-
tive customers. It is never thrown aside without first being read from
cover to cover. Then it is borrowed by the neighbours.
That's why intelligent, attractive newspaper advertising is accepted as
the most effective form of advertising your business.
An advertisement in this paper will reach hundreds of the buyers in
the local trading territory.

opinion made throughout the se-
minar. Indeed, the discussion
groups, composed of about six
students and a leader, proved al-
most as important as the lectures
which provided the points for dis-
cussion. Contact was made by the
groups with leaders from Greece,
Japan, Egypt and many other coun-
tries. Thus the most vital part of
the discussions was the understan-
ding of a problem from someone
else's viewpoint,
The following day, Gerald Wid-
drington of the UN's office of pub-
lic information gave two very
thought-provoking lectures on the
accomplishments of the United Na-
tions Emergency Force and the
need for a permanent police force.
Mr. Widdrington's lectures were
supplemented by movies about the
UN and its agencies.

Annual Reunion
Of Willert Family
Field At Exeter
The Willert reunion was held
last Saturday at Riverview Park,
Exeter, with a large crowd atten-
ding,
Sports were in charge of Adolf
Keller, Dashwood. Winners were:
Ball throwing, boys and girls up
to seven years, David Thompson,
Johnny Hayer, Susan Telfer; 7 to
10 years, Jim Hayter, Linda Din-
ney, Murray Haist; 10 to 12, Caro-
lyn Eagleson, Robert Telfer, Ken.
Eagleson; girls over 13, Muriel
Wilson, Grace Keller; boys, Larry
Jones; young married couples,
Howard Weiberg and Grace Kel-
ler, Mr. and Mrs. Telfer, Mr. and
Mr. Michael Shenstone of the
Canadian Department of External
Affairs, spoke on Thursday of his
experiences in the Middle East
emphasizing the Arab-Israeli prob-
lem and the work of the UN re-
garding refugees and truce super-
vision. Mr. Shenstone, who speaks
Arabic fluently, added furher in-
erest to his lectures by playing
two Lebanese records—the rslam-
ic Call to Prayer, and an Arabic
popular song.
On Friday, Dr. Gwynne-Timo-
thy, history professor at Western,
lectured on past and present de-
velopments in Europe, developing
his belief that war results from
fear of change in the balance of
power. He was followed by a re-
presentative from the World Re-
fugee Campaign in London who
reminded the students that money
was still needed to re -settle refu-
gees although the fund drive was
officially ended.
It is gratifying to note here that
the publicity given to Clinton's
own effort was such that a Clin-
ton student was one of two called
on to outline the fund-raising cam-
paign put on in their respective
schools.
The final lecture, touching on
the moral and spiritual obligations
in international affairs, was de-
livered by Rev. N. S Rodney of the
Presbyterian church. The closing
exercises, which stresser the need
to arouse interest in United Na-
tions work not only in the schools
but also in thecommunity as a
whole, concluded the seminar
which was three days most profit-
ably spent for all concerned.
