The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-05-04, Page 3BY GAO. WAMSLEY -- a trip to France. The older a person becomes, it seems, the more he would like to be younger to live again in the 'good old days' 4 which were mostly old, and not so good the days seen through the deceiving glass of time. Even now, when we are at the transitional years of our life, or, more crudely, now we are teen-agers, we either want to be a few years older, or a few years younger. Older. Wily? Do we long so much for the headaches of income tax, and food prices? Why younger, ev- en? Do we want to be left out when there is a party, or a play to attend? We are in a good position now -- we don't have to worry about making enough money to feed ourselves, or whether the kids need braces on their teeth. We are actually in the best po- sition. We are parasites. The same applies to children -- to a lesser extent. Why don't we, then, enjoy ourselves? Could it be that we are too busy looking for things we don't like -- or looking "We look before and after, and pine far what is not," Shel- ly wrote these words many years ago -- and he expressed one of the saddest human characteris- tics known, It is true, isn't it? Hew many people readily admit that they enjoy their lives as they are? How many would like them changed? Not a big change, perhaps, but just a lit- tle change here and there. How many people in other words, find 'joy' in the 'here and now'? Few, Too few, in fact. Young children -- who do, more than any other people en- joy their lives as they are -- en- joy getting up every morning, enjoy the prospect of the bright mysterious day ahead -- still ,wanting to be older. They want to be able to do what grown-ups do, and be all-pow- erful as they seem to be. Parents, and grown-ups in general, want, first of all, to be younger, Then, if you hap- pen to ask them how they would change their lives the list would be endless, A new car, another job, more money, quieter kids 18" Special Lawnboy Mower is ideal for town size lots.

Valdeane Noble marks the week's attendance Trip to. Burlington BY HAROLD MUTTER 12K On Wednesday, April 19, a bus trip was arranged by the technical department of Wing- ham District high School for the students of 110 and 12C and also the woodworking special- ists in UK and 12K. The trip was designed to show the stud- ents in the Science, Technol- ogy and Trades course how a large factory is run and what we may expect to find after leav- ing school. The trip took us to Burling- ton where we toured the firms Of Nicholson Sash Company and Halliday Prefabricated Homes. Our first stop was at Nichol- son's Sash Company. Here we were welcomed and taken on a tour of the plant. Their chief product is window frames of every size and description, al- though in the past few years they have been producing doors. We were shown how the win- dows are made, from the time the trees are cut until they are placed in 'the home. The most interesting point was the opera- tion of the machines and how they are set up to do their jobs. As an added attraction we were taken to another plant of Nich- olsons where they produce structural wooden beams for large buildings such as churches and factories. Here they also produce diving boards of every size. It was very interesting to see hoW boards are glued to- gether to produce a mass of wood one hundred or more feet long, weighing several tons. Our next stop was at Halli- day Homes, where they pro- duce prefabricated homes. In the past few years prefabricated homes have become quite popu- lar, but still the word prefabri- cation places an image of poor quality homes in most people's minds. It was proven to the boys on the tour that this is not true and prefabricated homes are just as dependable, if not more so, than conventionally built houses. We were shown how the house sections are assembled, and the new methods and tech- niques in house building. When • we were at the plant they were in the process of building homes for Eskimos as a government contract. In these houses the use of pre-stress construction is used. This operation, a new one to most of the students, was very interesting. We were also shown the advantages of truss roof construction in home build- ing. Hallidays is one of the largest firms in its field and this is shown by the variety of homes they produce. The trip was enjoyed very much by the woodworking stud- ents. Thanks to Mr. Beard, head of the technical depart- ment and Mr. Locky who arrang- ed the trip and accompanied us.

What person, honestly, young or old would change places with anoth- er person if he had the chance? We are human we cannot be completely and perfectly content. If we were, there would be no progress, But we can achieve partial 'joy of the here and now' by being snore aware of our lives as they stand now -- aware of the good things, as well as of the bad, aware of the beauty, and ofthe living that is going on around us. To be not only aware of it, but to respond to it, as is our privilege as human beings, Here, then is the joy of the here and now. Here too, perhaps, is the key to happiness.

Fashion Show '67 BY CHERYL HASKINS 12C On Wednesday, April 26, the girls of the school were enter- tained by a fashion show, pre- sented by the Dominion Sim- plicity Patterns Ltd.. The words for fashion in '67 are colour and variety. This was illustrated when the home economics students modelled the new '67 styles, from beach shifts to evening gowns, Miss Rosemary McLaughlin commented and I am sure in- spired us all to get our needles flying to be in style for '67. We hope they will present us with the '68 styles next year. BY ARCHIE McDONALD War and mankind Attend badminton tournament in Clinton I dare you! Just try to come over that line! You wouldn't dare! My dad's stronger than your dad! It sounds like the kids having a fight with "those guys" from down the street, doesn't it? See them streaming out of the snow fort throwing snow balls, or wielding wooden swords and shields that look alot like the top of the garbage can. They seem to love their war; in fact, mankind seems to enjoy war, but unfortunately for us, now instead of letting off steam, we could go up in steam. At present, we are letting off steam in the war in Viet Nam. That war has been call- ed the "nasty little war". That war has been called a "brush fire war". That war has been called the struggle of democ- racy to stem the tide of com- munism, That war, in the fu- ture, may be called the end of civilization. But now, that war is called our dilemma. Man has declared that he loves peace. Yet, we have gone to war for plunder, for Helen of Troy, for glory, for conquest, for religion, for peace. We have warred about one hundred, thousand times in our short history -- this could be our last. At the present time, the most powerful nations of the BY JILL MCPHERSON AND GEO. VALLANCE On Thursday, April 27, the Huron-Perth Junior Badminton Tournament was held at Cent- ral Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Representing Wing- ham at this event were Jill Mc- Pherson, girls' singles, Jane Harrison and Pat Zurbrigg, girls' doubles, Monty Templeman and Julie Adams, mixed dou- bles, Murray McDonald and Bill Skinn, boys' doubles, George Valiance, boys' singles along with Barb Detzler and Brad El- liott as spares. The badminton teams are under the leadership of Mrs. MacLennan and Mr. Stuckey. Although the girls didn't win any individual championships they placed third in the overall point totals. The girls' singles and doubles advanced to the finals but were beaten in very close games. Even though the team had some bad luck in the finals, they represented Wing- ham well. In the mixed doubles and boys' doubles the competition was rough but Wingham still managed to make a good effort and gained the favor of the crowd. Our junior boy's singles representative had a bad day and is still mad at himself, Next year, with a little more seasoning and a little bit of luck, Wingham will bring home the trophy and prove that the long hours of training were worthwhile after all! A reminder world are rocking the 'tippy' canoe of humanity with a sliver --Viet Nam, and at the same time, crying for peace on earth. The U.S.S.R. is rushing arms into North Viet Nam, China is rushing arms to North Viet Nam. the bulging muscles of Ameri- can industry are tirelessly pro- ducing jets, bombs, arms and munitions for South Viet Nam. The Chinese are making atomic bombs; the French are testing atomic bombs, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. are storing atom- ic bombs -- enough to slaughter mankind several times. We are in a dangerous position. Everybody knows what must be done; everybody knows that peace must be made; but no- body knows how. Canada has sent envoys to the belligerents, the Secretary General of the U.N. has tried, as have the Pope, Premier Wilson, and oth- ers. They have failed. Of course, although.these heros failed, their work has not been in vain. The trouble is that the reply to all peace prob- ers has been "let the other guy stop, and I will talk". No one wants to talk; everyone wants to win, The U.S. and South Viet Nam tell the communists to'stop sending their armies in- to the South, the communists tell the Allies to stop bombing the North. When will they ev- er talk? When will they ever talk? And so the war in Viet Nam rages on. Bombs fall, soldiers die, children lose their parents, Out the window the snowball fight has stopped, and there is peace. Too bad we can't stop like them before we have a bloody mess by the bomb, ,and we ask "Where have all the people gone?" Just for a reminder to all those parents, former grads, and W. D. H.
