McKinnon warns of possible
milk shortage
if farmers cut
Huron county indusaial milk producers
are still upset at the cutback of the
govern ..:nt subsidy but after listening to a
cool, reasoned approach to the subject by
Ken McKinnon, representative to the
Ontario Milk Marketing Board for Huron
and Bruce the sting may ' have been
reduced a little.
Mr. McKinnon was speaking last
Thursday night at a meeting of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture held in
the Central Huron Secondary School,
Clinton. About 50 persons attended the
meeting, most f'f them milk producers. The
turnout was lower than e$pected from the
reaction of milk producers earlier to the 50
per cent cut in federal government
subsidy.
Mr, McKinnon explained in a lengthy
speech that the government could 'not be
accused of breaking any agreement on
subsidy for his cutback, bu the said the
government was guilty of breaking
agreement to consult with the Dairy
Farmers of Canada and the provincial
marketing boards on changes in import
regulations, The government moved
unilaterally, he said, to increase the export
of dairy products.
"We're not saying that we shouldn't
import more," Mr, McKinnon said, "what
we are saying is that we should sit down
and discuss long-term effects. What about
unemployment due to the closure of cheese
factories?"
He said he felt if Canada was going t
import more dairy products it should be
butter, not cheese. Cheese imports have
been increasing in recent years he said,
mostly from European Economic Common
Market countries which in return limit
imports of Canadian cheese. When the
market sharing quota system was set up,
he said, imports and exports were about
even. Last year imports of cheese
outnumbered exports 25.1.
Mr, McKinnon explained that the
government cutback on subsidy is a
reaction to the fact that Canada is over
producing industrial milk at a time when
the international powdered milk is
depressed. The government has made a
commitment to pay subsidy on that portion
of milk needed to meet Canadian market
requirements.
Mr. McKinnon said there were several
conditions he felt were short term which
led to the overproduction. It was a
back
near -perfect year across Canada tor milk
production this year, Pasture was good all
summer long and hay quality was good.
Fluid milk sales dropped by 1.1 per cent in
Ontario and by more than that across the
country meaning milk usually destined for
the table went into industrial purposes.
Export sales of dairy cattle dropped by as
much as 60 per cent in the past year (he
said he understood exports have picked up
later in the year).
Because of the depressed beef market,
he said, many dairy men probably kept
cows over the summer that they would
normally have shipped to market.
Major cheese companies decreased their
inventories by about 25 per cent, he said
and this volume has had to go into other
areas of production.
Mr. McKinnon said he was afraid milk
producers would over react to the present
situation and cutback production too much.
He said he thought the market would
straighten itself out.
Part of the problem maybe, he said, that
there is to much quota in the system.
Because most producers keep under their
quota to prevent penalties for overproduc-
tion there is more quotas alotted than the
market requires. For instance although the
national requirement is for $350 million
pounds there are $425 million pounds of
quota. He said that despite ` the subsidy
cutback, the O.M.M,B. will continued to
allocate quota for the rest of the dairy year
until March 31. He said the board could be
criticized for this action but it had made the
committment to encourage people to enter
the business and it would keep that
committment. He felt there was a good
chance that all producers would be able to
match their production in the coming year
but that if quota cu!backs were necessary
they would be across the board cutbacks,
with a percentage off every producer. He
said he thought there was little need for an
increase in fluid milk prices in the coming
year, certainly in the early months, but that
an industrial milk hike was likely, He saw
he could foresee industrial and fluid milk
prices being closer.
He said he felt federal Agriculture
Minister Eugene Whelan could not be
blamed for the subsidy cutback, that he
had tried and been turned down. He said
he felt farmers needed to show their
support for Mr. Whelan so he has more
power in his fights with the cabinet.

BY BiLL SMILEY
"And cousins by the dozens."
That line from an old nursery
rhyme or something seemed to be
the theme when the Thomson
clan held a family reunion at the
old homestead, on a beautiful day
in October.
There was a lot of kissing and
hugging (we're an emotional
family.) I was bussed and
squeezed by a lot of middle-aged
ladies and made up for it by
heartily bussing and squeezing a
number of extremely bussablc
and squeczeable nieces and
daughters of nephews and var-
ious other attractive young
hussies drifting about.
Most people have been sucked
in, at one time or another, to a
family reunion. It can be a ghastly
experience, or a joyful one. This
one fell into the latter category.
There was no mourning for the
dead, only a great sense of being
alive, and the pleasure of
knowing that all these people, of
all shapes and ages, were blood
kin, all spring from --,the fertile
loins of one Walter Thomson, an
Irishnian of Scottish extraction,
away back there in the 19th
century.
Walter was prolific, and his
Wick were no slouches either, One
7 NW, Mountain Jack Thom -
„mora sometime scourge of the
Ottawa Valley during the great
lumbering days, had about 10
children by his first wife, and
when slut i..tuarried her sister
arid. altother Targe
f11iiily.• •
Another, William, after whom I
was named, sired 10 children.
And there was the last of them,
my uncle Ivan, 84, dancing
around like a 30 -year-old, wet•
coming all of us with something
close to tear --'f jo” in. his eyes.
He's as , • always,
slim as fuo eyes
sparkling, wn oubbling, striding
about as though he'd never
heard nt' arthritis. A than of many
tali . a conservationist who
pla; ees lovingly, a traveler
whu sext letter might be from
New *1W, an artist in working
with wood, a deep lover of nature
and iople, and a concerned and
loving patriach of the clan.
It is my casual boast, and my
brothers' and sisters' grudging
concession, that 1 "take after
him." 1 wish 1 did. He remarried
at 80 and has a three-year-old
Cousins by the dozens
at family reunion
grandson. Figure that one out. No
way can I match that.
He showed me the room in the
old brick ttomestead, a fine house
on a steep bluff overlooking the
Ottawa River, the bedrooms in
which my grandmother bore the
10 children. No wonder she died
at an age when most modern
women are just getting their
second wind, or their second
husband,
He showed me a picture of his
family at the dining table. At the
brad, my grandfather, white hair
and huge curly beard. On one
side, four strapping sons. On
the other side, three daughters
and two little sons, and an empty
place set for Emerson, a maverick
who was in the Klondyke when
the photo was taken. How would
you like to try to feed a mob like
that in these days? You'd be
bankrupt in a week.
Another picture showed my
Uncle Ivan as the sole surviving
member of the Shawville Ponti-
acs, taken in the days when
hockey was deadly serious but
played for fun, and Shawville
used to journey by sleigh to take
on the stalwarts of Renfrew and
Pembroke.
Perhaps sadly, there was no
living to be made for huge
families on the barren land of
Calumet Island, and the tribe
dispersed, some of the boys
joining t1.e great exodus to The
West, the El Dorado of those
clays.
They were honest, hard-
working, good-looking, gregari-
ous people. But it wasn't enough.
They established themselves and
worked like slaves to build
something. Then came the
Depression.
And they suffered. Boy, how
they suffered. All of Canada took
it in the neck, but the prairie
farmers took it in the neck and in
the guts and in various other
parts of the anatomy.
Most of my uncles went
through The Great War. Many of
their sons went through World
War 11, Some didn't come back.
Things picked up. Some of
them even made a decent living
before they died. Their children
are moderately well off, middle-
class people with warm hearts
and no pretensions.
But they're fiercely proud of
being Thomsons. (And don't ever
try to spell it with a "p."• We have
no truck with the poor white trash
Thompsons with a "p".)
And there we were, cousins by
the dozens, on the lawn of the
103 -year-old "homestead," look-
ing out over the Ottawa River,

days, and Mountain Jack, his

Beryl's the
cheap -shot champ
The more power the more vice-chairman of the prices and income
'ommission gets, the more it seems to go to her head, She seems to see
of easy solution to the whole inflation business: bankrupt Canadian
'ood producers.
She'd deny that of course, but the fact is that the only constant thing
,he and her members of the former members of the Food Prices
teview Board and her new buddies in the prices and incomes
•ommission have said is that marketing boards are wrong. Time and
igain she has attacked any system of orderly marketing farmers have
rigid to make.
When the price of eggs dropped last week by one cent she jumped in
,aying the should be lower than that. And just wait until we get out our
'eport on the milk industry, she said, hinting dire things to milk
producers.
In fact the words "marketing board" seems to be like a red flag in
front of a bull to Mrs. Plumptre.,Once she sees them, she is blinded to
everything else.
Supposing the price of eggs was too high. The average family
probably uses about a dozen eggs a year. If the price was a cent a dozen
too high, that would mean 50 cents a year. If even five cents, it would
mean $2.50 a Year. Hardly much in this day and age.
Perhaps she is right that some farmers are making more than their
cost of production, perhaps not. But what about the other aspects of the
food chain? Whenever Mrs. Plumptre looks at the processor or the
retailer she comes out convinced that they're all honest, practically
bankrupt people. Yet she never seems to sec anything strange about
the fact the price of beef is staying relatively near its record highs of a
couple of years ago even though farmers are now losing money on
every pound of beef they produce.
It seems strange that if farmers are the one's who are making the big
bucks in the food chain as Mrs. Plumtre seems to think, that more and
more farmers are leaving the land and taking jobs in the towns and
cities. Probably most farmers would gladly exchange their annual
income for that of a lowly checkout person in a city supermarket, who in
the latest demand, wanted $16,000 a year.
Yet it is somehow the farmers who are to blame for the cost of food.
Come on Mrs. Plumptre it's time you resigned, unless you can show
a little honesty. You are simply trying to make yourself look good by
picking on the weakest link in the food production chain. Pick on the
processors and they're going to jump on you, hard. The sante with the
retailer, particularly the big supermarket chains. So pick on the farmer.
You can't yell to much and even if he docs none of your darling city
consumers will hear. They never listen to the farmer anyway. The only
time they know he exists is when they blame hint for the high cost oI•
food.
Miller is irresponsible
Frank Miller. Ontario Health Minister has been acting in a totally
irresponsible manner in regard to the closing of hospitals in the
province.
The Minister announced recently that he would close 24 hospitals
across the province in a move to cut costs. That cost must be cut in the
health field is undeniable. With the possible exception of education.
health is the most expensive and most wasteful portion of the
provincial budget. Something has to be done to halt the soaring costs.
One can argue that cutting out some hospitals will improve the
situation but one cannot argue that the latest moves by Mr. Miller are
the way to do things.
Of the 24 hospitals he has promised to close. Mr. Miller has so far
announced the closure of only one, Chesley. So the people of the
province are left to feel like someone living under the apartment of a
centipede: one shoe has fallen and the other 23 are still to come.
The move has brought all kinds of uncertainty to nearly every small
hospital in the province. Will we be the next to go, each asks. low can
a hospital be expected to function well under such conditions? How cap,
it hope to attract proper staff if these people have to worry, they may
have no job in a few months time? How can it keep the staff it now has
under the circumstances?
Having started down the path of hospital trimming, rightly or
wrongly, the least Mr. Miller can do is end the suspence and give us all
the names. Probably he's afraid of the uproar that would deluge on
himself and his fragile government from 24 different communities, but
he owes the people who run Ontario's hospitals at least that much.
The Perils of applause
In the entertainment industry -- and in politics, too -- careers are
made and broken by applause and by lack of applause. We are often
manipula,. d into offering applause, and sometimes our applause is
measured•by machines. Persons in groups can be led to applaud things
at which very few of them as individuals would even clap one hand.: We
readily applaud things which do not deserve our applause -- probably
because we fell that willingness to applaud indiscriminately is a sign of
tolerance and broadmindness.
Canned applause, along with canned laughter, is often dubbed onto
the sound -tracks of filmed television programs and used as background
support on radio shows. We sit in our easy chairs and let ourselves be
beguiled by articial applause into accepting what we really know to be
utter tripe as the fine flower of human creativity. How else can you
account for the phenomenal success of some television shows?
We often show amusement and offer applause because we do not
wish to be judged odd and puritanical and narrowminded. But
broadmindness can have its own subversively built-in narrowminded•
ness. Artisitic integrity is not necessarily authenticated by four-letter
words, bared female bosoms and explicit sex,
Today we are being subtly forced into conformities of responce and
attitude without our being fully aware of the extent to which we are
being manipulated, Applause can be contagious •• and therein is its
peril.
Human nature, fortunately, has in it a strain of sheer cussedness,
and this keeps society from becoming thoroughly homogenized in taste
and judgment. But how many of us, really, bring individual judgment
to bear on entertainments on politics •• on anything which a group, for
its own selfish purposes, tries to manipulate us into applauding?

Upstairs, Downstairs provides rare television on treat
BY VONNIE LEE
In these days, when television
series seem to be classified tripe
and trash 'rather than treasure,
England has bestowed on us a
gem of a show which is probably
going to be the most popular
series of many years. We are five
years behind the British but at
last, we arc enjoying "Upstairs,
Downstairs", one of the most
popular series ever seen around
the world.
Jean Marsh and a friend,
Eileen Atkins, were concentrating
on separate acting careers when
the concept of the show took form
in their minds. Jean had grown
up in a Cockney home in North
London, Her mother was a maid
for a well-to-do English family
and .lean remembers her mother
rising at six every morning to
earn a living during the war
years, ,lean herself, at the early
age of live, terrified from war
bombings and fears of separat-
tions, developed a mental paraly-
sis which sent her into shock and
made her unable to walk. She was
sent to ballet school which began
the cure and eventually led to an
acting career.
Eileen, also a Cockney girl, had
also grown up in a home where
servitude was a way of life, her
father serving as an under -butler.
Together, they came up with the
idea of "Upstairs, Downstairs", a
series in which the upstairs cream
of society Icarus to live with the
do vnstairs life of servitude, but
also a series in which the servants
are treated like human beings,
not slaves.
'i'he setting is a turn -of -the -
century home in fashionable
Belgravia, London, in Edwardian
times. Class distinction, which
formed such a large part of
British sojcty, is most evident,
but these are servants with a
difference. They do not grave
they are not 'put out' like the c.
when friends come to call. The
are proud to work for a family lik
the Bcllamys and in turn, th
l3ellantvs are proud of them.
Jean Marsh went on to portra
a role in the series, that of Ros
the parlormaid. Atkins was also t
have a role but she had tr o man
stage commitments and turned i
down. Richard Bellamy, th
master of the house and
minister in the British govern
meat, is played by Davi
Langton; his wife. Lady Marjorie,
is Rachel Gurney; son Janies, a
lieutenant in the Life Guards, is
played by Simon Williams; and
daughter Elizabeth is Nicola
Pagett.
in addition to Rose, the
downstairs cast is Gordon Jack-
son as Hudson the butler; Angela
l3addcley as Mrs. Bridges the
cook; Pauline Collins, Evin
Crowley, Patsy Smart and
Maggie Wells as the other maids;
Brian Osborne as Pearce the
coachman; George Innes and
Christopher Beeny as the foot-
men.
All major cast members are
experienced performers, Miss
Baddeley as a stage character
actress, film actress and televi-
sion performer. Gordon Jackson
was b. rn in Glasgow but has
playcd .in several British televi-
sion shows\and movies. He is best
known to us for his roles in
"Tunes of Glory" and "The
Prime of Miss Jcan Brodie"
where he played the school
teacher who wooed Maggie
Smith,
Marsh herself has played
Shakespearean drama, comedy
and films, besides work in
television series and specials. She
had featured roles in "The
Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone"
with Vivien Leigh; La Dolce Vita"
Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy" and
"Cleopatra" in which she playcd
Octavia opposite Richard Burton,
For her role in U -D, she had' to
again go back to the familiar
Cockney accent which she had
tried so hard to lose (and
succeeded) for her stage and film
work.
in 1972, Marsh was named
Britain's best female television
personality of the year for her role
in her created series, In 1974 and
1975, the series won Emmy
awards as outstanding dramatic
series. In 1974, Jackson was
named actor of the year for his
performance as Hudson; and in
1975, Marsh was named out-
standing lead actress in a
dramatic series and one of its
directors, Bill Bain, was named
best director of a drama in a
series, The latter two won
Emmy Awards in the U.S,
CBC, this season and next
(1976-77), will present the entire
series, a total of 63 episodes. This
year, it is bei 'g shown Wednes-

children whose parents seemed to
think it was cute to have them
decorate the halls with crayons.
The kids had little to (10 but play
on the elevators which meant
there never seemed to be one
available when you needed it.
There was no outside door lock so
drunks could wander in during
the. night and sleep in the hall or
pound on the door and demand
admission as they did at our
apartment leaving us wandering
just what we'd gotten into.
Not all the blank should go to
Mr. Wynn though. Everyone
needs a honk and without Mr.
Wynn, many of these families
wouldn't have one, But if the
place was a rat -hole, it was
because many of the people living
there didn't care enough not to
keep it better. If the landlord had
tried to repair everything people
brake, keep the halls painted etc.
the rent would have had to be at
least double to pay the bills,
Mr. Wynn had a cute little
pile, though. In those days
every tenant had to put down a
deposit of one month's rent, This
was to be returned at the ne do
of the lease if the apartment was
left in good shape. Mr. Wynn
fomr what i've heard, didn't
return many deposits, He certain-
ly didn't return ours.
We left at the end of the school
terns and wanted to sublet. Mr.
Wynn told us it would cost $150 to
sublet. If we paid the $150 he
would then rebate us the $150
deposit. We had heard about his
reputation by this time howevbcr
and weren't about to send good
money after bad, So when the
departure day cane, we simply
handed the key to the superinten-
dent and left.

his empire grows, so does his
reputation. 1 won't be sorry if

Cattle Tice
may be a
problem
Lice may be more of a problem
this fall and winter. Warm
weather contributes to reproduc-
tion and lice infestations niav
have built up.
Systemic Insecticides for war-
ble control gives only temporary
col' rol of lice. Inspect your cattle
for lice every two weeks between
mid December and March.
Look for lice by parting the hair
over the tail head, along the back,
between the shoulders and
around the neck and cars.
Cattle heavily infested with lice
sho'ild be %prayed or dusted to
eliminate the pest. 'i'he use of
back rubbers should prevent
further buildup.
Precautions should be taken:
(1) Use only recommended
materials and follow directions
closely.•
(2) Wear protective clothing,
gloves and a respirator if in a
closed area.
Recommended materials such
as Sevin, Ciodrin, Lindane and
Malathion sprays and Sevin,
Ciodrin, Malathon and Rotenone
dusts arc available at your local
feed dealers and farm supply
centres.
Good louse control will result in

Santa Claus or God
BY REV. CECIL WITTICH
BLYTII UNITED CHURCH
Two little boys were discussing Santa Claus and God.
The one said, "Santa is better than god".
The other asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because Santa gives us presents," he answered.
The other little fellow, not satisfied wills the answer, said. "God
gives us air and rain and sunshine. He gives us food to eat and clothes
to wear. lie gives us everything we need. In fact, if it weren't for God,
there would be no Santa Claus."
That little boy displayed the kind of insight we ought to take to heart.
The Apostle Paul once asked, "What have you that you did not
receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a
gift." (1 Corinthians 4:7).

as well as providing security of

In responding to the Federal
wage and price guidelines,
Provincial Treasurer Darcy
McKcough said that the province
is prepared to give Ottawa full
control to administer the pro-
gramme in Ontario. This includes
the wage demands of teachers
and even its own civil servants.
The Government introduced and
subsequently passed legislation
to make mandatory the wearing of
automobile seat belts as of
January 1.
There arc exemptions matte for
infants, people who Hurst get in
and out of cars often and those
who cannot wear the belts for
medical reasons. Chief motivation
for the legislation is the suffering
and death resulting from automo-
bile accidents and the . soaring
hospital costs involved, The
Minister of Health has estimated
the cost saving in health costs
alone resulting from this legisla-
tion will be $50 million per year,
A few members, including
myself, expressed reservations
and reluctance about the
measure,
The speed limit will be reduced
from 70 to 60 on expressways and
to 50 ,miles per hour on other
highways, This will conic into
effect as soon as new signs can be
erected, which will likely be
within a month.
The report of the Special
Programme Review Committee
headed by Maxwell Henderson,
former auditor General, has been
tabled in the Legislature. It
contains a clear warning that
public spending is out of control
and makes 184 specific recom-
mendations for restraints,
It points out that the Province's
cash deficit two years ago was
$708 million, This year it is $1,9

Board of Education rejects mileage increase
After a recommendation to!
increase milpage allowances for
employees and board members
was rejected at last week's
meeting of the Huron County
Board of Education, the matter
was agained returned to the
management committee for fur-
ther study of increased costs.
Exeter trustee Clarence
McDonald, chairman of the
committee presented a two-level
car allowance plan effective
November 1, 1975,
It would have given the
Director of Education, Superin-
tendents, Manager of Transporta-
tion and itinerant teachers work-,
ing out of the Administration
Centre a car allowance of $60 peri
month and 14 cents per mile.

SCHOOL DAZE
In the library at lunchtime, one
confused student turned in
puzzlement to his friend and
asked, "if the plural of mouse is
mice, why isn't the plural of
spouse, spice?"
Before the horrid tortures of
exam writing, each teacher had
his/her own way to cheer up the
nerve -wracked student. Mrs.
Tiffin, in an attempt, told her
class that she wanted them to
think of her exam as a game. In
the stillness of the room, a voice
spoke up, "Yehl And when we
get to the end of the paper it'll
probably say, you lose! Go back to
question one!"
One grade nine boy, after a
rigorous workout in physed,
rushed back into the changeroom
only to find that his jeans were
missing, Very much upset, he
pleaded with his fellow class-
mates. "Aw, c'.mon you guys.
Give them back, What would
people say if 1 went down the hall
like this?" This achieved no
success, so he told his plight to
his teacher. The teacher detained
the class and informed them that
no one would be dismissed until
the jeans were found. A dead
silence fell over the room.
Everyone looked at each other,
but no one made a move, The
final bell sounded. A look of
terror crept into the eyes, and
everyone whispered that they
were going to be late. The
teacher, not anxious to have a
hysterical mob on his hands
dismissed them. The teacher and
the pantless student made a
thorough search of the locker
room. Finally, in the last, empty
locker in the bottom row, there
they were. The student yanked
them on, grabbed up his books
and tore off to the next class, only
to find he was already late.
Discovering this, he slowly
started down to the office for a
late slip, his third one that day.
CAVEAT EMPTOR
CHILD SAFETY CONCERNING
CRIBS
Are you concerned about how
safe your baby is? Well if you are,
show it by buying the proper safe
equipment and toys which your'
child uses.
For instance, when you buy a
crib you should make sure the
slats, splindles, or rails are no
more than 3 1/8 inches apart, in
order to prevent your child's head
from getting stuck between the
slats.
' Some lighter fold -up models
aren't sturdy enough,to withstand
too much rocking by the child. If
too much vibration occurs, the
crib lets go and folds up on thc
child. The heaver, non -foldable
ones are safer by far. Mattress
size and thickness are also
important factors to consider,
before purchasing a crib. If the
mattress isn't quite large enough,
the child's limbs could get stuck
between the mattress and the crib
wall, or the child's head could
easily get stuck or buried between
the two. Also, if the mattress is
up too high, the child could stand
up and fall out.
You should also inspect the
drop sides of a crib and see how 1
they are held up. Some cribs have
cheap locks and the child can
easily unfasten the locks and fall:
out. To prevent this from
happening, the crib you buy
should be equipped with a locking
mechanism that requires two
separate and simultaneous
actions in order to release the
drop -side of the crib.
Faulty, poorly constructed cribs
are just an example of the many
faults in baby furniture. So before
you buy a crib, think of your
baby's safety.

YOU NEVER MISS A PERSON
UNTIL
At the first meeting of the
School Page Club last week, after
exams, it was discovered that a
very important member of the
club was missing -- 'our Editor,
Joan Leishman.
We never realized just how
much work Joan had to do every
week, until we, ourselves had to
do it. We all hope that very soon
Joan will be back as our Chief
Organizer, Critic, Joe -Jobber and
Editor.
You never appreciate a person
and what she docs until she isn't
there to do it!
GUEST EDITORIAL
Did you know that two
opposing forces, those seeking
minimum energy or maximum
randomness, are found in all
chemical processes? No? Neither
did I --until this startling fact was
told to me in Chemistry. It's all
part of this particular stage in my
life --I'm being "educated."
That's why people attend high
schools, colleges and universities.
We're all trying to get an
education. Yet each one of us has
asked ourselves: Why? What?
and Why do I keep on? At some
time during our school years.
What is education anyway?
QUESTIONNAIRE
What do you feel the Student
Council should do to celebrate
Christmas in the school?
1 think • the Student Council
Certainly not a piece of paper
which states you have graduated
with such -and -such a degree.
Maybe it could be defined as
being all the knowledge each of
us has stored in the nooks and
crannies of our brains. It might be',
the abilities we have which enable
us to hold a job in the working
world. Or is education knowing all
about famous artists and being
able to speak in Latin?
Personally, 1 feel education is
all that a person learns from the
second he is born till the second
he dies. We are educated
throughout our lives in many
ways. Self -Education, such as
learning from the books that we
read, is one way. We learn
through experience --once we
touch a hot clement on the stove,
we know enough not to do it
again. We learn from others --our
parents, friends, relatives --just
about everyone we come in
contact with. And of course, our
teachers at school, who try to
teach us the three R's.
The aim of a formal education, l
think, is to prepare each student
for the career of his choice. Many
people assume, however, that the
greater the number of years spent
in Post -Secondary School Educa-
tion, .the "more educated" a
person is. A scientist is consider-
ed to be a well-educated man. Is a
