The other day I saw a book in the library entitled " Valiant Companions". It was a novel about Helen Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan. I had heard of Helen Keller before and I knew that she was blind and deaf, but what I knew about her was so little that I decided to find out how stie learned to speak and write. The book was very interest- ing and full of suspense. As I was reading it I seemed to be living in a different world; a world which I thought could never exist; a world of sorrow and hardship. But as I read on this world became a world of happiness. Helen Keller did learn to communicate with the outside world, but it took a great amount of patience and deter- mination. Her teacher, "An- nie" as she was called by her friends, had also been blind but an operation had given her back her sight. She knew how lock- ed-up Helen was in a world of darkness for she had experienc- ed this herself. But she did not know what it was like to live in a world of complete silence. As a child, Helen was very rebellious against everyone be- cause she knew that she was dif- ferent from everyone else, but she had the will power to over- come her handicap. It took Teacher (Annie) a long time to persuade Helen that even though she was blind and deaf she would some day be recognized by the world as an intelligent human being who would be able to contribute something to so- ciety, not as someone who is "dumb". Helen learned to read by feeling letters that were raised up on heavy paper. She learn- ed to hold a conversation with people by finger printing. The person with whom she wanted to communicate would print words and sentences on her hand and Helen would reply in the same way. She learned to speak by feeling a persons' mouth to find out how words were formed, then she would try to do the same. She could tell if she was making a sound by feeling the vibrations in her throat. When Helen knew the language enough to be able to hold conversations with people she went to school. She went through high school and even through college where she re- ceived her diploma. Today Helen Keller is a world-famous personality who can read and write and speak. But she fought a battle that could not have been won with- out the continuing support of Teacher. Together they achieved things that most of us take for granted. Usually we don't realize how valuable our senses are to us. Without sight and hearing we wouldn't be able to see the By Marjorie Eadie Where were you born? I was born on a farm and I am proud and thankful for the opportuni- ties this life has given to me. The farm family has been noted for its closeness. The whole family works together as one unit, whereas the families of city dwellers very often don't know what has gone on at the office or factory at which the father works. How many girls from the cities of Canada can truthfully say that they feel close enough to their mother or father to be able to discuss any problems they may have? Farm girls work beside their mothers and are able to discuss their problems openly and freely. Did you ever attend a rural school? If you haven't you have missed a lot. The friends you make in grade one will be there in grade two and straight through to grade eight as well as during the summer vacation which is the best time on the farm. These are the people who will be your friends for many years to come. Good friends like these made in grade school are hard to come by in the city schools or even in the central schools that are now taking over. You may have a better choice of friends but are they real friends? The Christmas concerts and card parties held each year are among the highlights of the year for the farm family. It seems the further on in time we come the less time there is for such things as these. Nowaday people in all walks of life are just too lazy to go to activities outside their own homes. They are too involved with television to go out and enjoy themselves at activities outside their homes. What is wrong with people? beautiful things Qod has creat- ed. We would never know how different and yet beautiful the seasons are as they come and go. We wouldn't be able to see the different expressions onpeo- ple's faces whether sad or joy- ful. We wouldn't be able to hear the comfort of a child's laughter or the mysterious out- door sounds which we hear every day but never pay much attention to. We never realize how fortunate we are until it is too late. We should realize the wonderful gifts we have and share them with those who are less fortunate by changing their world of darkness to a world of joy and peace. Don't they have enough energy to go out and have some fun without machines? Farm life has many advan- tages, it is not just for money that a person chooses to farm. Farm people get great satisfac- tion from seeing their crops grow from just a little seed to a healthy stalk of grain or from raising a calf from birth to have it give birth to another genera- tion. It used to be thought that anyone could be a farmer. To- day this is not so. A farmer must have intelligence, skill, energy and ambition if he is to succeed. It is estimated that there are potential openings for up to 1500 agricultural gradu- ates in Canada every year, how- ever, the supply of new grad- uates every year has been less than 25% of this figure. There is ample room for considerably more young men and women in agricultural fields. "The country which main- tains the soundest ideals and ambitions in the way of family building will be the country peopled with the strongest and most capable citizens. These things cannot be learned from books, but through living. Much of what is learned on the farm -- a vast fund of wisdom and skill -- is transmitted from father to son, from mother to daughter, on the thin air of oral tradition or of living ex- ample. That is the essence and the substance of the farm way of life." "Mamma, what is a "second- storey" man?" "Your father's one. If I do not believe his first story, he al- ways has another one ready."

Canada is a beautiful, pro- ductive and industrial country. Many people come to tour our country and enjoy the scenery of our mountains and lakes. Every Canadian should be proud of our national heritage, The trouble is that every Canadian isn't. With Centennial year here and Expo '67 being enjoyed by millions, maybe more people will have a feeling of together- ness and of joy in being a Can- adian. I asked some people what they thought Canada needed most. The majority of them answered "What we need in our country are strong, new lead- ers," I agree with this answer wholeheartedly. With good leadership, Can- ada can become a country with a huge capacity sufficiently de- veloped to expand with ease be- cause we have unlimited water power, boundless mineral re- sources and abundant forest re- sources. Canada has wide-open spaces north of our narrow, thickly populated area which, with proper irrigation and selec- tive forms of agriculture, could be made to produce a great deal more than it is now. One of Canada's great losses is her highly educated young men and women. These are emigrating to the United States by the hundreds because of greater opportunities and larger salaries. If, in some way, these young people could be persuaded to stay in Canada, a great lack of doctors, den- tists and other professional men would be prevented. Bruce Hutchison, a noted Canadian writer, feels that men who wish to be in politics as leaders should be trained for three or four years before enter- ing any particular field. A man who has been brought up in a city should not be chosen as Minister of Agriculture, for in- stance, nor should a man who has lived on the seaboard be chosen as a Minister of Northern Affairs. We need leaders who will be in our government to build Canada and will want everyone who lives here to say, "I'm proud to be a Canadian''. Right now in parliament, if one party proposes something, the oppo- sition is almost positive to ob- ject to it. We will never get anything started if this keeps up. • We need leaders who have one democratic ideal and who recognize nothing of the divis ions of race, language and pur,f pose. These men should have national support and their pan- ciples should be decency and fair play. With all of these changes, Canada could become an ideal place to live and could become an example to the rest of the world.
