SDHS Students
In Leaders Club
JEANNE MELADY
A Grade 13 student who won
the senior track and field cham-
pionship, Jeanne Melady, has
been chosen to represent Sea -
forth District 'High School in
the London Free Press School
Queen's Club.
Jeanne, a • daughter . of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Melady, RR 2,
Dublin, has been a first class
honors student throughout high
school. She is a member of the
Young Christian Students' Club,
the church choir and the soft-
ball team. She has been on the
Students' Council for three
years.
Jeanne, who plans to be a
high school English teacher,
writes on the importance of
English.
* * *
The importance of having a
fluent command of the English
language in both written and
oral spheres is vital to students
and adults alike. It is impos-
sible to imagine an average day
in which English does not play
a leading role. English is indeed
the hub from which radiate all
spokes of activity.
The importance' of English as
the basis for education can per-
haps be' illustrated by the fore-
most role it plays, in elemen-
tary . schools. Are not reading
and writing the first hurdles of
the school' child? Does this not
prove that without at least a
fundamental grasp, very little
further learning is possible?
Winston Churchill once said:
"I would make boys all learn
English
In high school, English is a
prime requisite ,in that it forms
the basis of every course. ,The
languages require it not only as
a translating medium, without
which comprehension would be
impossible, but also is. a ,basic
skeleton on which can be
molded the more intricate lan-
guage construction. In some
cases English may prove to be
the inferior language in mean-
ing or form. Nevertheless, with-
out a starting point, progress is
not possible. English is that
starting. point.
English is just as vital to the
sciences. On reading a para-
graph from one of Newton's
theories, one realizes that the
wording and construction of the
English appear more intricate
that the technical proof of the
law itself.
The mathematics student can-
not overlook English, although
mathematics may be the sub-
ject least invaded by English,
Can oneimagine such a mathe-
matical genius as Einstein be-
ing unable to comprehend or
appreciate a difficult prose pas-
sage? Quite the contrary, for
he wrote more books, including
his autobiography, than does
the average English scholar.
English, however, is not lim-
ited .te the narrow confines of
student life. It holds a most im
portant position in the broader
adult world.
Is there one position in the
career world which does not
demand a fluent, learned com-
mand of English? The office
worker must be able to com-
pose and edit a well -organized
letter, the teacher must have
an intimate knowledge. in order
to be understood while the ex-
ecutive must be able to confer
and correspond intelligently
with other business firms. And
these are only isolated exam-
ples of the practical use of Eng-'
lish.
Therefore it can be seen that
English is important, even es-
sential to all people. As Roger
Bacon, the English essayist,
said, "Reading maketh a full
man, conference a ready man
and writing an exact man."
This in a nutshell is the im-
portance of English.
LOUIS DEVEREAUX
Louis Devereaux, 19, a grade
13 student at Seaforth District
High School, has been selected
that school's representative in
the Student Leaders' Club by a
vote of students and staff.
The honor student, who plans
to become a dentist, has been
active in several- youth groups
during the past years. In ad-
dition to the activities in 4-1-I
clubs, Louis has participated in
the St. James' Youth Club
LOUIS DEVEREAUX
where he is past president.
At school he has been a mem
ber of the mathematics club
and served as treasurer of the
Boys' Athletic Society. Louis
has also participated on the
"school's gymnastics teams ,and
last fall was a member, of the
football team.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs
Arthur Devereaux, RR 4, Sea
forth.

Dentistry Career
The dental profession offers
opportunity for a person to help
people and improves his chane -
es of moving to small communi-
ties rather than remaining in
big cities, Lbuis-said.
His essay outlining h i s
thoughts on the scientific age
follows:
"Holy ,smoker Where am I?
What's going on here?" This
is what an old-timer of one
hundred and twenty years ago
would say if he were allowed
to return to earth to catch a
glimpse of the differences be.
tween his time and ours. In-
stead of his familiar horse and
cutter, hewould see scores of
sporty automobiles; his axe
would be replaced by a chain
saw; the snow -blower would
make his shovel look like a toy.
In short, he would be a witness
tothe scientific age.
"Today, the screaming rock-
ets in the sky, the unmatched
advances in medicine, and the
entrance of IBM are different
examples of modern scientific
achievements, but they all have
one feature in common. They,
are man-made achievements, ex-
amples of how man has utilized
nature for himself. But to do
the research for these programs
requires scientific personnel
and other skilled workers, those
who have educated themselves
by specializing in a certain field.
Hence, the scientific age re-
quires more specialization than
did the past ages.
Changing Methods
"Consider the computer. This
machine has approximately two
hundred miles of wiring; crystal
diodes and transistors number
20,000; add to that, 6,000 tubes
along with 168,000' magnetic
cores stored in its main mem-
ory. To be thoroughly familiar
with the operation of such a
machine, a' man would have to
spend years studying physics,
mathematics and electronics.
Moreover, when he did think he
had mastered the art, one com-
pany might discover a new
method of transmitting elec-
trical impulses. The old method
would be discarded for one
more efficient. Because of a
new discovery, therefore, the
employee would be required to
re -learn one phase of computa-
tion again and, not having time
to explore other fields of his
liking, he would be involved in
further specialization.
"Perhaps the old-timer, whose
return to earth startled and
confused him, will become more
calm if he understands our
scientific age. At any rate, he
will realize that although a
grade 8 education in his day
was quite complete, nowadays a,
high school education is barely
sufficient."

It's clean-up time in Seaforth.
Big dividends from small in-
vestments can be guaranteed
when all that is involved is the
investment of a little time in
cleaning up and fixing up. Sea -
f orth Chamber of Commerce, in
co-operation with Seaforth
Council, is again sponsoring
Seaforth's Clean -Up, Paint -Up
program.
In past years the campaign
has produced definite results,
and that is why the Chamber of
St. Thomas' Guild
Hears Discussion
On 'Canadians'
"Early Canadiana" was the
subject of a lecture and dis-
play held Wednesday evening
in the parish hall "of St. Thomas'
Anglican Church, under the aus-
pices of the Ladies' Guild. Mrs.
Cleave Coombs opened the pro-
grame with two solos, "Scarlet
Ribbons" and "He". She was
accompanied by Mrs. Joseph
McConnell.
The speaker, Mrs. Marjorie
Larman, of Thamesford, was in-
troduced by Mrs. Allan McCon-
ney. Mrs. Larman described
how the early settlers of Can-
ada brought only a few person-
al possessions with them, and
carefully fashioned by hand
from the native woods the furn-
iture and furnishings essential
for housekeeping. Her remarks
were liberally illustrated with
beautifully handcrafted articles
from her own extensive collec-
tion.
Among the display of Cana-
dian antiques were chairs, can-
dleholders, butter molds, bowls,
a weather -vane, a reversible
woven blanket and an exquisite-
ly detailed old quilt, depicting
the life of the Indian...
Mrs. Larman urged her audi-
ence to treasure their Canadian
antinques, for they are as much
a part of our Canadian culture
as our history.
Rev. Harry Donaldson thank-
ed the speaker, and Robert Spit-
tal closed the program with two
old English folk .songs, .`The
Robber King" and "The. Quaint
Little Old Fashioned Town."
The winner of the door prize
was Mrs. E. C. Boswell, who
received a pair of beeswax can-
dles.
The audience was invited to
examine Mrs. Larmon's collec-
tion while lunch was served.

Commerce pushes its annual
spring campaign to tidy up Sea -
forth.
No matter how good a house-
keeper you may be, • there will
be corners that require clean-
ing, untidy areas that should
be raked and seeded, or per-
haps as unsightly. -pile of trash
that should go to the dump. It
is to draw emphasis to just such
tasks that the spring clean-up
is held, .
Trucks Available
This year the town is provid-
ing trucks with which to pick
up winter's accumulated trash.
Arrangements for the pick-up
service, were discussed at a
meeting between Mayor Dins-
more and the Chamber of Com-
merce and approved by council
on Monday.
There just is no doubt about
such a campaign paying divi-
dends, C of C president Wm. M.
Hart says, in, a statement is -
,sued in connection with the
event.
"A house and yard that have
been thoroughly cleaned, re-
paired and planted, will give
you added realty value should
you wish to sell. Clean premis-
es will considerably reduce the
chance that you will ever stand
over a rubble of what was once
your home and your cherished
possessions, gutted by fire.
"There will be fewer chances
of accident to toddlers and
elderly persons since you will
have -followed Clean -Up safety
suggestions.
"Your children will learn the
thrill of working together for
a common goal, and you will
have increased enjoyment from
living in clean, attractive sur-
roundings."
Year -Long Task
Mr. Hart, in urging full co-
operation so that the campaign
would produce maximum bene-
fits, pointed out that Clean -Up,
Fix -Up, Paint -Up is not just a
one-week program, but a guide
for better civic living through-
out the entire year..
"The future of our tq►prl:-: is
dependent on the traits shoWu
during our Clean up campaign,
namely, energetic interest,"' the
president declared. Through
demonstrations of these quails
ties in4the next few weeks we
should.. "set ,a. pattern for the
rest of the year. The results.'
we accomplish and the habits
of cleanliness and beauty which:
we acquire :will persuade tour-
ists to stop over in' Our town,
will create an envii onnient . .
which will attract new industry •
and citizens. New industry
means many . new jobs, with
special opportunities forour
youth," Mr. Hart said.
