About 80 persons, including representatives of municipal councils and farm organiza- tions, learned how authorities operate and the benefits they provide in operating conserva- tion programs. Principal speaker was Dr. G. Ross Lord, chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto and Re- gion Conservation Authority, who stated "there is a great future for conservation in On- tario," "The great strength of the conservation movement in On- tario is its co-operative na- ture," he said. "The govern- ment of the province says, in effect, we are willing to help you if you are willing to help yourselves. Thus, an authority can achieve work only if the municipalities concerned feel so strongly about it that they are willing to contribute 50 percent of the costs. Thus, an amalga- mation of aggressive commu- nities under an authority can bring about works of such a lasting nature that not only pre- sent but future generations will benefit from these works for all time. "Conservation is an under- taking which involves all of the people of the community," Dr. Lord stated. "It is an enter- prise which is supported by al- most everyone and has very few opponents.

The principal urges parents, sports organizations and law enforcement officials to help curb the increase in smoking particularly among teenagers. "I think everyone should re- duce his cigarette smoking. I don't think we are goirig to be very successful (in,purbing use by young people) until we all do," he writes. "Certain types of cigarette advertising should be forbidden by law. The present law re- garding the sale of cigarettes to children should be strictly enforced. ilMoSt important of all, I think that all sports organiza- tions should throw their weight behind a positive program of physical fitness which among other things should stress the dangers of cigarette smoking. "Parents can play a more positive role once they really believe the seriousness of the situation." Principal Sturgis refers to mounting medical e v id ence which shows that smoking causes lung cancer but he also suggests there is amoral argu- ment against smoking, just as there was in his school days. However, "with the change in our customs, it would seem ra- ther hopeless to try to turn back the clock and make smoking a moral issue." The principal holds to a theory that smoking prevents young people from thinking clearly, "I can't prove (it) de- cisively but I do have an in- direct proof. My observation of students who started cigarette smoking fairly young is that at school they have rarely realized their potential. They are rarely conscientious or keen students. This is somewhat general but for me it has a certain validity I believe in implicitly," Mr. Sturgis says the increase in cigarette smoking by teen- agers corresponds to the in- crease in adult smoking. "Greater prosperity and wide- spread advertising have in- creased smoking at all ages. Greater urbanization has re- sulted in less responsibility for teenagers outside of school and so more leisure time. This has also brought about more time being spent in groups or mobs if you prefer. The walk home from school is not usually a time to commune with nature which in my lifetime took me along streams and through woods and meadows." DEDICATED TO TEACHER This year's "Ink Spot" is dedicated to G. C. Koch, biology teacher, retiring after 34 years on the staff at Exeter, "in re- cognition of the outstanding ser- vices he has given the people of Exeter and surrounding area." Mr. Koch joined the hi gh school staff here in 1929 after graduating from Queen's Uni- versity with an honor bachelor of arts degree in science. Previously, he taught public school in AllenfordandHolstein after graduating from ,London Normal School. He was born on a farm in Ellice Township, Perth County, and attended schools in Milverton, Listowel and Stratford. Grand Bend Public Utilities Commission.

A NATIONAL FLAG? Should Canada have her own flag and national anthem? Here are a few opinions expressed by SHigh students during the past week on this controversial to- pic. DIANE STONE 10E: We are no longer a colonyof GreatBri- tain and are classified as an independent country. Therefore we should have our own flag and national anthem. TOM PLUMB 12B: Canada has gained independence from Britain, is an individual country and should have her own indi- vidual flag and national anthem. LINDA HUNTER-DUVAR10A: As far as I am concerned Can- ada does not need a flag to gain international prestige but apparently the people of Canada need one to solve their own complex problems. LARRY IDLE 11A; Yes we should have our own flag and anthem to show that we are an individual country which should not have to depend on another country for its flag. MYNIE VERKERK 12A: We should have our own flag and national anthem to promote more national pride. We are a country by ourselves. S ANDRA JORY 12A: We should have a sincere national anthem. A good one would be Receives HS tribute New edition of "Ink Spot", HSDHS year book, is dedicated to Gordon C. Koch, who retires at the end of this term after 34 years on the high school staff here.
