Nothing is more distressing to a teenager than to be a "wall flower" or a "drip". or whatever words you use to describe the boy or girl who just doesn't rate in a mined group. We've scout- ed around high schools and ask- ed teenagers to tell us, "How popular boys and girls get that way." Here are their answers. POPULAR GIRLS .ARE: Self confident, neither bashful, stand- offish nor too forward; Attrac- tively dressed, but not too inter- ested in clothes; Peppy and inter- ested, • h u t not conspicuous; Friendly and fun, but not too eager; Good talkers, and good listener s; Good Dancers and Good at Sports such as tennis and badminton; Well mannered but not snobbish; Good looking but they don't need to be beau- ties; Intelligent but not 'smarty' about it; Considerate, especially of a boy's pocket book; Natural and sincere; Neither touch -me - nets nor chronic petters; Non drinkers and non smokers; • Not boastful of former conquests; Religious and have high ideals, Liked by other girls. POPULAR BOYS ARE: Well dressed and tidy; Well mannered but not fussy; Good Talkers and listeners; Dependable and con- siderate, especially, about get- ting a girl home on dine; Good dancers and good at sports; Pep- i py and attractive, but not a show t off; Self confident, not bashful, knows his way around; hide - pendent, thinks for himself, not a tied to mother's apron strings; p Not excessive smoker s, Non a drinkers; Natural, kind and v thoughtful; Not chronic neckers; a Intelligent but not conceited; p Sincere, Religious, with good morals; Liked by other boys. After reading the above an- swers you'll realize being o gi 13 to 11 tki of po yo to m is derful personality. However, not even an extremely popular teen will have all the attributes named because each person is different from each other. Every teen has ner own special personality, only often it is stilt- ed because she fails to make the most of it. Obviously, a girl who is keen about making the most of her looks, clever at wearing clothes and is interested in de- veloping her personality will have a happier time and get on much better than a girl who is unkempt and looks slovenly. Personality is YOU. It's how you look and how you act, at:. home and away from home, at school, in church, on busses and street cars, in autos etc., that counts. Teens who don't know how to act in certain situations often envy those who do and to cover up their own lack they develop a singing wit, biting sar- casm. unpleasant tale telling and other unpopular traits which may become permanent, We all change, for better or I for worse. especially, during the teenage year. Fortunately, we can make the most of ourselves m looks, character, charm and personality, but only if we know what o do. We must, how remember that perfection c to Ivry few and it certainly not come to anyowithout and practice. ever, ones will time RELAX: The first thing to do to develop a popular personality, s to relax; forget about wanting o be popular.

J. Coldwell, in a recent radio broadcast, stated that "Loud objections to any increase in social security benefits have come from hag business, from same of the Presidents of our Chartered Banks, from Che Canadian Association of Manufacturers, and The Canadian Chamber of Commerce." This sort of statement has a very familiar ring but should not be left unchallenged. First of all, we must deny categorically that The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is opposed to social. Security. A distinction, however, must be drawn between the kind of social security meant by Mr, Coldwell and the kind of - social security desired by The Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The first kind of social security is that which is supplied by and administered by a generous and beneficent Government which draws its revenues from that section of the economy which ,in the opinion of some group of planners, is in the best position to pay for them. In short, as the speaker stated, , „ "The Government can take money away from groups and individuals who have more than they need and distribute it to those who have special needs that they are unable to meet with their own resources," This is just another way of saying "from each according to his means to each according to his need." Does this really spell security for the individual? The Canadian Chamber of Commerce on the other hand believes that beyond certain minimal protection which grows as the nation prospers, a young vigorous and pioneering country should con- _ centrate upon economic develop/fleet from which flows the best kind of security for the individual. Can it be argued that the people of any other country in the world no matter what social benefits flow froM the State have any greater real security than we have here in Canada? Mr. C. C. Thackray, President of Dominion Rubber Company Limited, in an :address to the KitchenerChamber of Conimerce, put the matter succinctly when he' said, "People need protection against old age, unemployment and disability, of course, but this protection should come first of all from the thrift of tale individual, from his own efforts and self-reliance. Government benefits should come Jest, and should be held down to a minimum. When the Govern- ment takes the lead in developing human aid a nation's walk down the road to socialism turns into a gallop." In an economy where . the average industrial wage has increased from less than $24. a week to over $55. a week in thirteen years and where there are 392 people working today for every 100 working thirteen years ago, there has been a very real increase in security despite the increase in the cost of Mr: Charles Dickens in his preface to the third edition of Oliver Twist, written more than 100 years ago, said, "It's wonderful how Virtue turns from dirty stockings; and how Vice, married to ribbons and 'a little gay attire, changes her name, as wedded ladies and becomes Romance." So-called social security provided by the state, which grows by what it feeds on and destroys the inhen- fives which lead a real social security, has been bedecked with rib- bons and gay attire. Sturdy independecence and a desire to in- crease our national wealth so that all might prosper is ir certain quarters pictured as Vice. Virtue is not a monopoly. • From "The Newsletter," issued by The Canadian Chamber of Commerce. itt: •%.^..iheiee (if Clockmaking became a craft of -considerable importance about the year 1550. Clocks for the homes of the upper middle classes became a possibility. 13y 1600 there were enough clock - makers at work to indieate the eventual conversio». of the clock ' from a luxury to a staple article of conameree. The significance of an accurate timepiece as an aid to naviga- tion was generally appreciated in maritime and naval circles. In 1714 the English Parliament offered a grand prize to any, clock - maker who would measure- time accurately enough to determine longitude within thirty miles. John Harrison (1693-1775) de- veloped one that made determin- ation within eighteen miles 1)0S- sible. This was in 176)., He called his timepiece a chronometer. If determining position by the aict of an accurate timepiece is some- thing of a mystery to any reader, this explanation may resolve the matter: You, set out on a voyage with an accurate clock that is set at the •time of the place from which you start. That clock on your ship will, it accurate, keep time with the master clock tack home. Ten days later you want to know about how far you have sailed. At precisely noon you "shoot the sun" with an Metal- ment. You know it is noon by the sun. You calculate the eariation between sun time and true lime from charts and tables and eom- pare that with the "time" back home as recorded b.v the chick you have with you, Yonr clock says it's one o'clock. Yam' sun shooting says it's twelve o'e:ock, Ergo, you are approxin-ately one thousand miles west of home. The time difference tells MI where you are. A poor timepiece might tell you within one hundred miles. Harrison's timepiece cut the margin of error to eighteee tniles.-From "Amerieten Coit and Clockmakers," by. Carl. W Drepperci. .
