Miss Ann Fairbairn BY ANN FAIRBAIRN (Ann Fairbairn, Susan Din- ney, Bonnie Turvey and Kathy Smith attended the Toe Alpha conference in Toronto during the Christmas vacation. Ann told of her experiences there at the Youth service in James Street UC Sunday morning.) I was privileged to be one of a group of four sent to Toe Alpha conference by the Christian Education committee. I with to tell you of my experiences. Toc Alpha comes from the Greek alphabet and means; Teach our teen-agers to assess liquor by presenting the hazards of alcohol. The two first letters stand for teen-ager or to ab- stain. Toe Alpha teenagers have adopted the following fourfold purpose: To convey factual, scientific information on the alcohol prob- lem which is of interest and concern to youth. To offer other young people a better understanding of the alcohol problem through per- sonal observation of the social implications involved. To provide wholesome fel- lowship through recreation and social activities; To encourage the develop- ment of a youth movement to help fellow teenagers find satis- fying substitutes for drinking. Toe Alpha mixes business with pleasure aptly, After re- gistering at the YMCA on our arrival We went to lectures in the auditorium. Don Parsons, president of Toc Alpha, pointed out to us that we are being brainwashed by propaganda on TV and in newspapers and ma- gazines. This propaganda would lead us to believe that alcohol WHAT'S YOUR FIGURE PROBLEM? Looking for new figure beauty, new comfort, new health or all three?

Mrs. Valeria Armstrong 89 Anne St., Exeter Dial 235-1920 Give the family carrots when you want to see them in good humor. This has been known for 20 centuries, Young ladies in the Hebrides, In days gone by, used to take raw carrots along to dances or Sunday strolls and offer them as dainties. But cooked in carrot and beef stew or in many other ways they are very nutritious and health-giving which makes us all in good humor.

Cut into 1-inch pieces and place in 4-quart saucepan. Add salt, bayleaf, water and one of the onions. Cover and •cook slowly 1 1/2 hours or until meat is almost tender. Peel remaining onions and add to meat along with shredded carrots and celery. Peel whole carrots and cut into inch pieces. Add to stew. Cover and cook 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add pepper. Blend flour with water until smooth and add. Cook 2 or 3 minutes or until thickened, This makes 6 servings. If one has a pressure cooker the stew can be made in much less time. Brown the meat, then add vegetables and pressure cook for the number of minutes it takes to cook the vegetable which requires the most cook- ing. Thicken after pressure is released. We noticed in local grocers' frozen food sections last week polybags of mixed vegetables cut up for stew. They were cut the way we like them—not too small—around inch cubes. We are often surprised at what we find in this section and wonder; What next!

Lewis at the Sunday morning ser vice in James Street UC as a group of 60 young men and women sat in a body before him and five more satin the pulpit beside him and assis- ted in the service. The young people were mem- bers of the Learners of God (LOGS) Sunday School class. Continued the minister: "It is given to a very few people to sit in a church pew and see a block Queen Victoria's birthday has been celebrated as a Canadian holiday since 1845, Mr. & Mrs. Ward Fritz re- turned home last weekend after spending several weeks in Flor- ida, the Bahamas, Jamaica and Texas.

CHASE Nerve Food Helps Fight FATIGUE serves much of the credit for the organization, Mr. Knott said today's teen- agers are the best fed and best clothed but the most pressure- ized in history. He said they are dating earlier, marrying ear- lier and by the age of eighteen are bored and liquor provides new excitement or, as some describe it, "a kick". As the use of alcohol goes up the sense of morality goes down. He noted that six out of every 10 juvenile delinquents have fathers who drink to excess and many have mothers who drink, too. Mr. Knott said the teen years are years of development; per- sonality is the product of ex- periences and thinking during these years; teens seek early maturity and are led to believe alcohol and smoking are signs of maturity, Not so! Maturity's sign is self control and no one will learn self control from a bottle. All was not serious though. After we were settled in our motels outside the city we came back for a get-acquainted dance that evening. A hootenanny was the feature of this dance and a group of folk singers led us. Next morning we were back in the city for more lectures. There are many aspects of alco- hol and some of the things we learned I would like to share with you. To impress you with the gravity of the problem let me say that in the United States in 1962 400,000 died because of alcohol—this is almost equal to the casualities of World War 11. We were told we must attain a new concept of sobriety through understanding the ef- fects of alcohol, It has an anes- thetic effect on the brain. It puts different levels of the brain asleep at different stages. A small amount tends to have a relaxing effect. More alcohol effects co-ordination and skills and a great deal effects res- piration and death results. Some people use alcohol as a food because they argue that it contains calories. However it contains no vitamins and per- sons relying on it develop mal- nu trition causing permanent damage to their brain and body. In the evening we enjoyed a banquet and entertainment. We were led in a singsong by Bill White, who made even us sound good. Also a talented group of teen-agers, The Romers, en- tertained with folksinging. Dan- cing to a teen-age orchestra concluded the evening. Sunday we attended services in the beautiful Calvin Presby- terian church in the city. We were proud that the choir was composed of Toe Alpha dele- gates. After the service we returned to headquarters at the YMCA to hear and discuss more facets of the alcohol problem. We were told alcohol has many effects on the personality. It tends to change a person's viewpoint. When drunk, moral- ity standards are low and the drinker does things he wouldn't consider doing otherwise. If told about them, shame and disbelief are the reaction. Another problem discussed was "If I drink shouldI drive?" The answer is an emphatic NO. Statistics show that one drink takes one and a quarter hours to leave the body, likewise three drinks take four hours. Though the public is unaware of it the "had-been-drinking" driver is involved in more than half of all L'S traffic deaths today. In the evening we heard the experiences of one lady and two men who belonged to Alcoholics Anonymous. We learned that alcoholism is not primarily a disease. If it were, it would be the only one without a germ or virus cause, It is one contracted by an act of will. Latest statistics show there are 100,000 alcohol addicts in Ontario. One in 103 women are alcoholics and one in 70 Men but we were told that women are trying to bridge the gap. Toe Alpha left us with a Code for youth. Some of the points were: Live on your own age level. Sophistieetion or, In other Words, worldly wisdom does not become yoU. • Have a worthy purpose in life, an ideal in everything yeti do. Recognise the dignity of work and its relation to true success, Be friendly toward all but intimate only with those from whom true friendship will fletir- ish toward all good ends. Cultivate a growing sense of Moral responsibility and re- irieMber you do not have to Meet your "respon 'sibil'ities alone. God is with you, I only wish all of you young people could have gone te Tor- Onte and heard these addresses first hand. It was a rewarding add 'decisive experience, dents, Elsie Gosar and Bill Wright. Sharon Sanders is sec- retary. Two of the group serve as ushers each Sunday. A member of the class plays for the hymns while others lead in worship. "All I do is teach", said Mrs. Fletcher. "It's a joy to work with them—they're so respon- sive. They never refuse a re- quest I make or try to make excuses." At least twice a year the group has a panel study in which five or six experts are chosen from the class to handle per- sonal problems that have been submitted by other members of the group whose names are not made known. The panelists con- sider each question seriously and discuss it from his or her point of view. A question that has been asked several times is "How can I get along with my parents?" Finally, one of the panelists brings the discus- sion to a head and summarizes the opinions. Once each year the class attends service in a church of another faith, Members have visited the Greek Orthodox Church, Jewish Tabernacle, St. Peter's Cathedral, Mennonite Church and the Russian Ortho- dox Church in London. After the service the pastor conducts a tour of the church and explains the symbols of their faith. At Christmas time the group visits the protestaht orphanage in London entertaining and giv- ing gifts to the children. Occa- sionally guest speakers address the young people on a specific topic. To what does Mrs. Fletcher attribute her success with the LOGS? She herself takes little credit but commends the pa- rents for sending or bringing them to Sunday School and en- couraging them; to her husband, Dr, Fletcher, and to the minis- ter, Rev. Lewis "Who stand behind me to help where they can" and above all, to the guid- ance of God ''who gives me the message and courage to give it. That's my motto; We do nothing in ourselves'." "There are no had young people," declared Mrs, Flet- cher, "We only the wrong think- ing and actions of adults that' et the pattern for them. They heed love and understanding and' try never to be critical of them," At the Sunday service And Fairbairn told Of. the Toe Alpha conference In Toronto which she and three Other girls attended and Doe Caen, who represented Huron at the Older BOYe' Per- liament at Waterleci College, gave a graphic account of its sessions, Susan Dihney led Iii the responsive psalm and torte nie Turvey and KathYSMith read the scriptures, A junior dole sang' the anthems, FAITH IN TEENAGERS . Mrs. M. C. Fletcher of young people such as you see here this morning. This has been the fruit of ten years' work." His tribute was to Mrs. M. C. Fletcher, the cheerful but modest teacher of LOGS who stoutly believes there are no "bad" teenagers and has proven they can be responsible and thinking citizens if given a chance. In an era when young people's interest in the church, general- ly speaking, has dropped to one of its lowest ebbs, she has re- versed the trend by building up a large, enthusiastic and active group of teenagers who partici- pate, regularly in Sunday ses- sloes. Twelve years next October. an appeal was mede from the James Street pulpitfor teachers and helpers in the Sunday School, Mrs. Fletcher respon- ded to that plea and was asked to teach the young people's class. Owing to the lack of a regular teacher the class had dwindled until the first Sunday Mrs, Fletcher Was the teacher there Were only present. Today there are 65 and often more in attendance and the class has had to move to larger Oat= terve four Wines, Class members toricluetthele Sunday Morning sessions them 801V08.
