Zurich Citizens News, 1964-12-03, Page 6'PAGE SIX THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1964 Centralization - Definite Trend in Huron Schools t;oderich --• Considerable ac- tivity in construction of rural public schools, as result of the acceleration of township areas, is indicated in the first report to county council of its recent- ly appointed public school con- sultative committee. Presented by Reeve 1Mlorgan Agnew, chair- man, it listed the following de- velopments: Ashfield — Representatives of the various boards met and generally agreed to move to- ward construction of another central school. Colborne—The board at a re cent meeting decided to inves- tigate the possibility of con- structing an addition to the central school. Grey --A tender for a new 9- roo111 school and auditorium has been accepted. Hullett—Agreement to build a central school reached at several meetings. Morris, Brussels and Blyth will have one board after Jan- uary 1. Meetings of the boards have been held. Councils of these three municipalities and of East Wawanosh met to con- sider proposals for three schools —Brussels, Blyth and Belgrave. Stanley — Several meetings There's a great Coo -haw these days about conformity, which has become a dirty word. Edu- cationists and editors, social workers and sob sisters warn us that one of the great threats to freedom in the modern world is conformity. These Cassandras claim that we're turning into a nation, a world, of conformists. They threaten that the golden age of have been convened. Turnberry—All pupils will at- tend the enlarged central school after January 1. Usborne—New central school opened. Inspector James Kinkead, who spoke to the report, em- phasized that the committee is a "fact-finding" body. "There is a greater desire on the part of councils and school boards to get together," Mr. Kinkead said. "Years and years ago, the one -room school repre- sented the centre of a commun- ity, but these are 110 longer communities, and I think we have to have a community school. SPECIAL MESSAGE' -TO %CUSTOMERS OF THE B OF M •r r j e• Every dollar you saved went right to work in 1964 John Bannister, Manager Zurich. Branch Bank of Montreal the real individual, the rebel, the non -conformist, is nearing an end and that very soon we shall be slaves, eating what everybody else is eating, wear- ing what everybody else is wearing, doing what everybody else is doing, and thinking what everybody else is thinking. I find myself remarkably calm in the face of these pro- phecies. In fact, I think they are pure poppycock. In the first place, I see noth- ing wrong, with conformity. 1t merely means, "compliance with established forms". In short, the individual accepts the responsibilities and the re- straints which society imposes on him. The vast majority of people have always been conformists. If you happened to be a canni- bal, and the piece de resistance was roast missionary, you sat down with the rest of the boys and enjoyed the preacher. You didn't say, `.`Gee, I don't know fellas. Maybe we're making a mistake. Maybe we shoulda boiled him." No, sir. You con- formed. You went along with the crowd. If you happened to be a Ro- man legionary, happily hacking up Gauls and ancient Britons, you didn't stop in the middle of the orgy and ask yourself, "Is this the real me, or am I just doing this because everybody else is?" If you did, you were a dead non -conformist, Equally, if you happen to be a modern than, and your kids and wife are putting you over the jumps, you conform, You don't take a tow -by -four and pound your kids into submis- sion. You threaten to cut off their allowance. In the second place, the de- liberate, or conscious, non -con- formist is a simple pain in the arm. He is the type who thinks he can't be a painter unless he has a beard, who thinks he can't be a poet unless he needs a hair -cut badly. Perhaps the greatest conform- ists in the world today are teen- agers. In their desperate at- tempt to avoid conformity, they become the most rigid conform- ists in our society. They dress alike, do their hair alike, eat the same food, listen to the saute music. All this, in an ef- fort to revolt against society, to be non -conformists! Not that there haven't been great non -conformists, Beethov- en, Tolstoy, Gauguin comm to minim. But they were great, not because they were non -conform- ists, but in spite of it. They had talent, Mac, On the other hand Bach was a church organ- ist, anisic teacher and had chil- dren. Shakespeare worked atrocious hours, lived an ex- emplary life, and never missed getting his hair cut regularly. Alexander the Great, Napol- eon, the Marquis de Sade, Hit- ler and Lee Oswald were non- conformists. You know what they contributed to the world. Does this mean every non- conformist is a nut? Not nec- essarily, though probably. He is usually an unhappy chap who, • A LARGE QUANTITY OF nimssisimusummissik BARN SASH Now on Hand -- At Factory Cost! LET US REPAIR YOUR WINDOWS !

Trouble is, the people who constantly warn us of the dan- gers of conformity have con- fused the non-eonformnist and the individual. The former is to be pitied, He is seeking firm ground in a quagmire. The lat- ter is to be envied. He has found a prune (himself), in the porridge of society, and he chews happily ever after. Perhaps old Polonius put it best in hamlet. His son is going away to college. The dad gives him a lot of advice about con- forming. Then, in an unex- pected and untypical flash, he adds, "This above all. To thine own self be true; thou can'st not then be false to -any inan."

Let me say that our country's economy got 100 cents of effort from every savings dollar entrusted to us in the past year. A large portion went to assist people in financing things that meant an improved way of life for them ... such things as cars, home improvements, household appliances of all kinds, Another very substantial proportion of your savings dollar was lent to small, medium and large business enterprises, encouraging them to expand and to employ more people. The personal savings of all our customers this year amounted to very nearly one-half of the total deposits of $4,340,434,848 at the Bank's year-end on October 31st, 1964. This figure is the highest in all our 147 years of banking and allowed us to bring our loans to a record high of $2,728,862,030. Another $874,466,266 was invested in high-grade 'government bonds which have a ready market, plus .$268,181,390 in other securities—mainly short- term credits to industry. What else did your hard working dollars do in 1964? Well, they breathed new vitality into vir- tually every community across our nation. They financed new industry and created new jobs ... helped farmers improve both their farms and their way of living ... constructed new schools and helped students get a better education ... built new roads and highways... supported community projects, large and small, of many kinds. Yes, your savings dollars worked hard in 1964 — and hardest of all for you. For, steadily accumulat- ing at interest, they are a sound investment in a better future for yourself and your family. On behalf of the Bank of Montreal, may I say "thank you" for your confidence in "My Bank" and for the opportunity you are giving us to work with you in building a more prosperous Canada.
