EACH • 'Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, JULY 20, 1967 Nev School Is Welcome Addition Recent announcement that a new • school of agriculture and home econo- mies would begin operation this fall ,at Centralia will bring encouragement not only to the Exeter -Centralia area but to all of Huron. , When the changing rile of the RCAF forced new concepts of training. which resulted in the decision to close RCAF Station Centralia'there was wide spread concern because the station during the twenty years it had operated .had made a major contribution to the economy of the Southern part of the county. Possibility that the facilities at the base could be useful in other .was ex- plored by Exeter citizens with the aid Of Huron MPP and Provincial Treasur- er Charles MacNaughton. The announ- cement of this week is the result of their efforts. That there has been need of added higher educational facilities in the FIur- on area has long been recognized; . The- 'availability of the Centralia plant now has made 'it possible for the province to meet in part this need. While there will be general commen- dation for the manner in which the pro- , Vince has acted in establishing this new Centralia school, it 'must not be regard- ed as fullfilling_ the provincial govern- ment's obligations with respect to high- er education in this area. There continues to ,be a requirement in this part of Huron and Perth for the type of training which is contemplated by the Community College program. ' Centennial Creates Community Spirit There was wide spread sceptiscism ,a year or two ago when groups in some areas began pressing Civic officials to plan. for the 'Centennial. And when, at New Year's eve Iast December, 'even as the bells rang in the Centennial year, there were those who _suggested there real* was no occasion to get -• ready — that the people wouldn't be too interested: How wrong the sceptics have been proven. Almost every weekend now there are parades in. townships, in ,towns and villages when citizens in - every . age group get together to cele- brate with enthusiasm. The results go far to prove that" there lies latent in every community — particularly the smaller centres — a spirit of co -opera- -tion and. willingness .to ,work as -• a group that "requires only a theme and the knowhow of, a few to be lighted. These parades and celebrations that we, are enjoying — and we think,.par- �..ticularly: of those in Hibbert at Dub- lin, in Hensall and. in McKillop at Win- ' thtop during recent days — have ,brought about they ,almost total invol- ,•,vement of a majority of the citizens of q,those communities. In some eases or- ganizations have been active ongere than in others . and plans'were morin= volved. But regardless of this, what is important is that the people are catch- ing the , Centennial spirit and despite earlier reticence, are taking steps. to ensure that as far as their community is concerned the Centennial will not go unnoticed. As further events are scheduled in- terest undoubtedly • wilI continue to ,grow and by year's end there -will have been a series of events that will have ,made a major contribution not only to - .wards marking Canada's birthday, but yvhat is :even more important, towards a, growing community spirit in centres all across Canada. • - The Bean Vote Area bean growers will have an op portunity'next week to vote on whether the Bean Board is to be given authority to market all beans under an agency type plan. - There are those who favor the move and those who are opposed • and under our democratic way`of carrying on our .affairs this isas it should be. But dem- ocracy only works when each of us accepts our responsibility. In this case this means that every bean grower who is entitled to vote must study the ,pros and cons of the " question, particularly the powers which., it is suggested will be given the board in the areas of pro- duction and selling. • What is most important is that hav- ing studied the proposal, having reach- ed a conclusion, those who are entitled to: do so, go out and vote. Sugar and Spice — By Bill -Sih ley -- GREAT --- JUST GREAT I think probably the .most dif- ficult relationship to maintain, at any reasonable level is that between teen-age children and their parents. • Marriage is tough enough, as you aU know. But at least the partners, in most eases, are pre- pared to bend a Iittle, to give an inch, or even two if neces- sary, to compromise when there's no other way out. Married people do communi- cate, even ' though the form ranges from grunts and sighs to language that would sear the earlobes • of a saint. They're us- ually from the seine generation and at worst, can spend hours running down the governMent, the boss, the neighbors; or each other's families. T know couples, including us, who have been amicably bick- ering for anything from two to six decades. It becomes almost a yarn, in which you .know every 'ploy- or gambit of the opponent, (A ploy is when she has you dead to rights. A gam- bit Is when you just might get away welt the story.) • But . with teen-agers, you're fighting a Joking battle. First of all, there is the image "barrier. Theoretically, you're' both speaking the same tongue, • but When. it conies to interpre- tatlott, there's no rellition what. t1t iaatr, 'VOW, I. Want you st'iht et kb they call dancing, means "Well, I don't have to leave until mid- night." A scene ensues. And at scenes, you haven't a look -in. You're all set to raise hell. 'Hackles .are properly er- ect. And five minutes after the kid gets in. you're on the de- fensive," trying -to prove that you're not... "an old grump," or completely irrational, or "the strictest parent'in town," or an out-and-out liar who said twelve o'clock was the deadline for leaving the dance, not for.. be- ing home. Teen-agers are like women. You can't discuss anything with them, in a logical way. You are completely baffled by a , series of irrelevances, nonsequiturs and such things as "You don't trust he. That's what's wrong with you. Yon. don't trust mei" And they're right.. It's sad to see a family break- ing up. I suppose it's inevitable and right. But it's sad. Ours Is. We had a swim the other day, the four of us. As we were leaving the beach, I said to the old girl, "Do you realize that's probably the last time we'll all have a swim together?" She agreed. Kids don't want to go swim - Ming with their parents. They want to lurch around with ,their owtt age grdip.

" In the Years Agone From The Huron, Expositor July 24, 1942 - When the scores were check- ed at, the Golf Club, it was found that J. E. Keating and Peg Grieve had tied ,G. D.

W. -Archibald, son, of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Archi- bald, Seaforth, has been pro- moted to the rank of Lieut:- Colonel, ieut;Colonel, according to an Ot- tawa despatch. Col. Archibald has been in England for. two years. • • An old landmark east of Cromarty is about to be°moved or torn down. It was erected ?0 years ago and was known as the ; old cheese ,factory and was built by a Mt. Hamilton. As. a =result of -tile survey un- dertaken last week by the Sea- forth Chamber of Commerce, a pool of more than 20 men are available for assistance on dis- trict farms. First call came Tuesday when B. F. Christie, W. D. Smith, Dick Box, • -R. B. Holmes and J." A. Westcott stooked ten acres of wheat at the farm of Andrew Moore. The same evening -E.

The choir members of Duff's -tinted Church, Walton. met at the home of Mr. and Mrs: ,Har- old Sellars; in honor of Mrs, Herbert Traviss, formerly Mil- dred Sellars. The guest of hon- or was presented with a mirror and hall table by Mrs," Harvey Brown and Mrs. •Walter David- remarks, for which there is no real answer except a swat on the ear. And you can't do that, or they'll run off and start smoking pot. - Enjoy them when they're lit- tle, You can blow on their bel- lies, kiss their little soft bums, rock them when they're sick, and tell bedtime 'stories till you're blue in the face. There's_ communication then. But don't expect • too mush when they get past 13. For the next six years, it . will be sun and showers, cold fronts mov- ing in, a lot of low pressure areas, with the -occasional high, and such suggestions as I've heard recently: "D"ad's just not with it. se's out to lunch." It's .nothing new, 'of course. When I recalt how utterly self= ish I was aa- a youth, how little I cared about ray parents' hopes and fears, I understand. • It's been going on since fain clob- bered Abel and broke up that nice little family group. It's a time of life whed the whale 'earth revolves around ME, and parents iiiiiiiii another awkward, sometimes obnoxious circumstance that is preventing ME from being what I want to be, and ,becoining , whatever I will be. - Oh, well? there's an excellent invention' called grandchildren. I can hardly" wait to get it spoiling mine rotten sti that their parents will be totally 'unable to rope with them. • 24J1.: Winner of guest col- hath t richt tt ed heft V* k `for itite. , jt *incl 1 "Oh, yes .
