Happy New Year to you!
The greeting is universal. Happy New
Year!
Those old, familiar words fall from our
lips automatically at this time of year ....
and all too often they are nothing more than
words—the form of an expected greeting at
the beginning of another 12 months in our
lives.
Not all such greetings are insincere or
carelessly spoken. Certainly we say them
with deep -meaning to our loved ones and our
close friends. This year,' however, it
behooves us to think about their meaning
and set out on the road through 1974 with the
firm Intention of making this year a happier
one for the entire world,. Failure to carry out
those good intentions could be the most cost-
ly mistake we will wjer have made.
The energy crisis which has been so pre-
dominant. in .our minds since September has
illustrated • with graphic clarity the degree to
which we are dependent for our luxu-
ries—even our necessities—on the goodwill
and co -Operation of peoples half way round

This. week The Wingham Advance -
Times carries a letter from 'a local high
' school teacher, -expressing appreciation to
the `general `DPublic 'for understanding and
support during the one -day demonstration at
Toronto, : when. thousands 'of secondary
school teachers left their classrooms to force
susp`ension'of-apiece of legislation before the •
Ontario House.
Mr, Kopas, a man for whom.we have the
highest regard,° iswelcome to employ space
','in The. Advance -Times to express his opi-
nion, but we would question the' extent of
public support for the. teachers.
-As in most Tabour management disputes
there are two sides to the story. The teachers
believed they were about to become victims
of An ifiluStice because the','Bill, would have
prevented- them from resigning their jobs.
On the other hand: the Ontario:government,
.along With 'all clear -thinking citizens was

enjoying the best of everything while the
other four-fifths of the world goes°- ungry
going • It is to cost irnmrably
r norol in future to purchase those luxury'
goods which we have taken for granted so
long, and the consequence will be a lower
standard of living for all of us.
if those higherlprIces are In someway
translated into a better way of life for the
poverty-stricken in other lands we may at
least feel some degree of satisfaction in our
own position. However, there is ,a strong,
possibility that a -lar. ge share of the increased
wealth which will flow into the Middle East
will stick 4o the fingers of the potentates and,
Corporation -presidents.
. In any case, the higher prices of so many
items we want in this partof the world may,
in the long run, do us some lasting good.
Inventive minds will probably work out. new
ways to meet our needs ---new fuels, new fab-
rics, even .new foods. The next few years
may be leaner than any we have known since
the great depression, but during their pas-
sage we might .. get back to , some
old-fashioned truths and re -learn the merits
. of good, workmanship and value for dollars
spent. ,
The teachers may certainly question the
justice of the government's legislation, pre-
viously-passed,
re-viouslypassed, which denies them the right
to strike.. Few would blame them for trying
their best to have that legislation amended.
However, that is the law as it stands.
i Personally, we believe that the teachers'
one -day protest was a demonstration, parti-
cularly to their students, that the law can be
disregarded. That is scarcely in conformity
with the precepts of an orderly society—pre-
cepts which school teachers, above all
others, are expected to uphold.
. There areal! sorts of•other people in this
province tempted at times to shout
about the injustices, either real or fancied,
under, which they suffer. In fact we know of
very few who .are satisfied with their in-
' comes and:the laws which govern their lives.
But wouldn't this be -a great place to live if
each group decided to stage a protest?

pportunities for youth
Perhaps the most money -wasting- "em-
ployment" project of the benevolent go,rer7n-
ment is the one called "Opportunities for
Youth", says the CCNA Publisher.
Under it hugesums of taxpayers' money
are handed over to students to spend on pro-
lects of their imagination, without proper
pre -investigation, supervision or audit. -
If the need really exists to provide em-.
ployment for students who need to earn
money to continue their education, then that
employment should be both constructive and
properly controlled and supervised to assure
that regular hours are kept and that the pro
ject is completed, before any payment of
wages is made. '
This year the OFY project at Essa Cen-
.tennial Park was not carried out according
to the approved proposal, not, Indeed, was
the one at the BMHS playing field. It is time
thata long, hard lookwas taken at the *whole
scheme.
Assuming that a number of students do
need work, what is the best way to provide it
to get maximum return for money spent?
That is -the question. The first step 'in an-
swering it is to determine what needs doing
at municipal, regional and provincial levels.
The second is to assign' students to the
work, under the direct supervision of the ap-
propriate governmentauthority, not to allow
them to do as they like.
if each municipality were allotted so
much for Aid for Students money, construc-
tive work could be found. The same for high-
er levels of government. Take recreation for
example. If .the Simcoe County Recreation
Service had been given all the money frit-
tered away to youth groups claiming to do
recreation work for children, it could have
hired just as many students and provided a
county -wide service reaching many more
children. Also, the students would have
benefitted from training ' -by competent
people.
Or, take natural resource development.
The SWEEP program has proved success-
ful, so why not expand it? Here students do
,work under supervision.
And so on.
Itis not good sense to turn students loose
to carry out half -thought-out projects at the
taxpayers' expense.
P If. the federal government is wedded to
its present wasteful system no project should
be considered without formal endorsement
first by the municipal' government con-
cerned, and that governingbody should have
power to see that theproject, if approved, is
carried out and that, if it is not, there will be
cutback on the amount paid. endorsement

Glen, ten, is waiting for parents. Somewhere there must be a
• family waiting for Glen as their son.
This healthy, sturdy boy is extremely handsome with his fair
hair and blue eyes. His background is Angle -Saxon. Because of a
troubled time he has been in a treatment centre. He is -now ready
to leave — if only he had a home to go to.
Friendly, outgoing Glen gets on well with other children and is
especially understanding of small ones. He enjoys the company
of adults, who fihd him an entertaining conversationalist.
In school Glen is working below his potential, at the Gradesf.3
and 41evei. It is felt he will,do better when he knows he is settled
with parents who have chosen him for keeps. Art and reading
are his favorite subjects. Maths are a struggle.
Glen loves camping and swimming but is otherwise not
athletically inclined. He likes making models and does nice
v o'rk on little boxes, ashtrays and such made of plaster of paris.
He enjoys music.,
Glen needs an interested involved father and ,a warm loving
mother who will both want to spend a great deal of time with
him. His adopting parents should understand his earlier
problems and be prepared to work with a psychiatrist if heeded.
To inquire about adopting Glen, please write to Today's Child,
Ministry of Community and Social Services, -Box 888, Station K,
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please
contact your local . Children's Aid Society.
