That sanctuary of quietness and reserve — the library — is bound to change complexion when the 1961 Kinsmen's Har- vest Queen joins its staff, as she hopes to do. Exuberant, energetic Carol McLeod, 17, of RCAF Station Centralia, plans to become a librarian after she graduates from high school and univers- ity. Circulation of books, among other things, is bound to in- crease if she does. Carol won the Kinsmen crown over five other contestants at the Harvest Jamboree Friday night, which attracted a record crowd of over 1,200. Runners- up were Margaret Oke, 17, RR 3 Exeter, and Jeanette Wedge, 16, town. A gade 12B rstudent and a cheerleader at SHDHS, Carol is the daughter of LAC Daniel McLeod, a firefighter at the air force station. She likes to ride horses, swim and dance, sings in the protestant chapel choir on the station and for- merly was an active Girl, Guide.

His opinion was that it was "in the bag" for Huron county. Huron MPP Charles Mac - Naughton, was on hand to greet the parade during the parade and complimented the group on its activities. Even F. A. Lash- ley, secretary -manager of the match, was impressed. It was estimated that 80,000 to 100,000 people viewed the Grand Bend delegation's ef- forts. Exeter Home and School As- sociation members heard opi- nions on subjects ranging from teen-age dancing to survival after nuclear bombing during a panel discussion Tuesday night. All five members including moderator G. M. Mickle, SH - DHS' teacher, agreed that the question of whether teenagers should dance or not was a mat- ter of personal taste. Panelists Mrs. .1, W. Corbett, Mrs. Jo- seph Wooden, Dr. D, A. Ecker and Rev. G. Van Eek were more concerned with the sur- vival problem. To the t' , "Should pa - renis be making some prepa- ration for the dangers of ato- mic war?," Dr. Ecker said: "If someone could give us some information, we might be able to make preparation. As it is we won't know the right thing to do until the time comes." Mr. Van Eek: "The best n preparation we can make for it should it come would be to be ready to die." Mrs. Corbett: "While it is a terrible thing that we should have to discuss this, the dan- ger exists. We must arm our- selves spiritually but 7 think we have a great desire Lo sur- vive. We should at least do the simple things -- to provide seine measure of security for our children." Mal Wooden: "We have a 4try here to our children and must try to protect them." She suggested that most homes eontain seine survival mate - Hal suth as a hot water tank in the base/ilea. Influence of television Discussing the pros and cons of the effect of television on 'children, members of the pa- nel agreed that television was probably used indiscriminate- ly to the detriment of the men- tal and physical health of the child. Dr. Ecker suggested that the best remedy for this was for parents to just turn it off. They agreed also that super - Vision of both quantity and (parity of programs by par- ents is essential, that proper light and fresh air is neces- sary to viewers and that exer- cise at intervals is beneficial. Mr. Miekle indicated by a survey amon,,d high school Au. dents made by him tWo years ago that the Average student Viewer spent one and three- quarter hours in front of the screen, the more avid viewers up to four hours per day.
