SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, NOVEMBER 7, 1968
Something of Value
In this period ,of educational confu-
sion and unrest in which we find our-
selves it is good to come face to face
with something that enoourages us to
think in terms of fundamentals —
• something that brings our thinking into
- perspective.
Those attending the graduation exer-
cises at SDHS last week had such an
opportunity when Miss Jean McIntyre,
long time member of the staff, who re-
tired this year, addressed the graduates.
Recalling an African proverb from
the Basutos — "If a man does away
with his traditional way of living and
throws away his good customs, he had
better first make certain he has some-
thing of value to replace them." Miss
McIntyre found her subject in the
words "Something of Value in a dhang-
ing World".. •
Addressing her opening remarks to
the adults...she reminded them that their
segment of society had since ancient
times been out of step with the rising
generation. Despite this the majority
are outstandng young people. -Only the
few, the minority, go to extremes.
You parents, she said, have two main
desires for your children —'success and
security. You very often wish to give
them the very things which you failed
to secure. Parents want their children
to have more of the material things —
more cars, more houses, more money,
more power, more show, but how many
of you wish to give them "more ideas,
more critical intelligence, more person-
al- morality, more constructive initative,
a greater degree 6f escape from old
folk -way 'controls?" This age has been
repeatedly accused of being impelled by
zeal for having rather than for giving,
for pOssessing rather than for creating,
for achieving rather than for e'xper,,
iencing.
Success must not be relegated to the
future but is an immediate thing. It is
an individual affair and cannot be shar-
ed or given to another — it is achieved
at various levels of °Or development.
The process of learning, discovering
and analyzing and forming judgements
and hypothese and then testing them
should ' continue. If a peraim is any
good at all he strives to do something
at which he thought he would fail —
it took everything he had, the exper-
ience, the ability, insight and concen-
tration but he did it! That is success.
It cannot be given to anyone — the in-
dividual must gain it for himself. -
And now what about security? This
is not a matter of acquisition but is one
of achievement. True security, as I see
it, is attained only when an individual,
has the approval of his peers and when
.he knows he is needed .and respegted by
his group. It is not the age-old idea of
the security of a bank account. True
security cannot be bought. Parents can-
not give it to their children — as with
success, the child must striv for it
himself and gain it for himself
Each generation of young pe e, she
- continned, addressing the graduates, has
faced its future with „many fears: fears
of not attaining success, fear of not be-
ing able to obtain and hold a job, fear
of not choosing the correct job,. fear of
being surpassed by others, fear of be-
ing unpopular. To put it bluntly, young
people are up against a tough situation.
You' of today's world face an especially
difficult problem for change_ is now so
rapid that what you are training for
today may be obsolete before you are
ready to put it into practice. Science
advances at a terrific .pace. No one can
forsee the future. Our -task as educators
, has been to try to prepake you to meet
it, whatever may come.
Your generation has lived during the
most remarkable era since the begin-
ning of time. You have seen • more
mechanical and technological progress
than any other generation. Science has
made come true most of the old stories
of mythology. You are living in a land
of almost unlimited opportunity ------ all
over Canada during the past ten years
we have watched an industrial, com-
mercial and residential expansion vv,hich,
staggers the imagination. And it is you
who mist lead Canada into the twenty-
first century. It is you who will deter-
mine the future of this nation. You are
pf..1tand parcel of this tremendous de-
velopment, you cannot escape it. You
are in the middle of it and can either -
make an active energetic and vigorous
contribution to it or you can be part
of the Tlotsam and jetsam that flows
with the tide. It is a fast moving and
competitive world in which we live —
the poorly educated and poorly ,tivali-
fied will have to take a secondary posi-
tion to the well-educated and well-qual-
ified. As the world advances, the gap

Last Post sounds in the sombre
November air.
Behind him, with their blue
berets, and balding heads, and
bulges in the wrong -places, are
the "young fellows" of World
War II. And despite the genera-
tion between their thoughts are
much the same. Girls and guns,
bitter ale and bitter cold, , and
the faces that will never grow
old.
The faces that will never -
light to the joy of children.
The hearts that will never
wrench with the sorrow • of
children. The mouths that will
grin. forever, but • will never
smile again, or whisper a pray-
er, or kiss a woman, or gulp an
ale.
But then, Reveille sounds, and
the heads lift, and thlittle
scattered knot of onlookers dig-
perese, and the parade moves
off, back to the warmth of the
Legion Hall, and beer and com-
radeship and a turkey dinner
and funny stories that have
been pdlished and embelished
and garnished by the years.
knd that's about what Re-
membrance Day has come to be
in this land, that sent thou-
sands and thousands of its
young men off to fight the Kais-
er or Hitler, g,000 miles away.
'What do the youngster think
of it? Almost nothing. A few,
whose fathers were killed be-
fore they knew them, wonder .
a bit, feel a strange yearning.
Most are indifferent. They.
know they should look solemn,
and they do. But there's no un-
derstanding.
Some are even hostile to the
whole idea. Anti -war on gener-
al principles, they have the mis-
taken idea -that Reinembrance
Day is somehow a glorification
of war. It's just the opposite. •
• Those in their twenties and
thirties are even less interest-
ed, if, possible. The whole thing
is a drag, a 'sentimental jour-
ney, for old and middle-aged
°squares.
And what about the old_and
middle-aged? We •must face it.
Only a minority of them feel
some emotion. And most of
these p who were di-
rectly touched by the loss of a
brother, husband, son. ,
But on the whole, Canada,
.
despite heavy losses of youth,
was scarcely touched,, at home,
by the two great world wars.
And Remembrance Day, as old
soldiers are supposed to do,
won't die. It will jjust fade
awaY,
Perhaps it's just at well. Both
wars were ,bloody shambles
best forgotten. But I hope there'd
a special place for oItl soldiers
when they finally fade away,
A place where all the young
faces are, and there's lots of
beer, and they can exchange
lies with Rotnart legionnaires
and panzer troops and eonfed-
erate fighters and veterans of
Waterloo.

From My Window
- By Shirley J. Kellar —
I've been thinking lately about
heart transplants and the
troubles we are apt to encount-
er in the next few decades.
Not that I'm totally opposed
' to taking the pump from one
halting human body arid instal-
ling it in. the faltering chest of
another. I'm as thankfully mys-
tified as anyone else by the new
operation for previously doomed
heart patients.
I do have s
about the disco

It could be de

and highly harr
that someone is

waiting for you
to pass over the sunset—indeed,
hoping you won't last past. the
sunrise. Most folk desire a
peaceful, dignified demise.
Let's suppose a 'fellow had a
perfectly pod heart he was
willing to leave behind, If he
made his intentions known in
plenty of time for the trans-
plants arrangements,to be made,
there is a distinct possibility
that a doctor with a definite re-

Certainly I'm not suggesting
that a doctor ,would fail to do
his duty by the dying donor.
I'm merely pointing out that a

And is love really in the

/f it is at the writers say,
then will the man fitted with
the heart of another have new

someone else's lady?
We talk about broken hearts
when referring to the case when
a gal is jilted by some thought-

loved. Will a simple heart
transplant cure the ailment and
put different ideas into her
head?
And will hardened hearts be

including heart ache? ,
Certainly not, you scoff.
