(Staff Photo) adill mirror Lynda Lyons Jane Shiell Brenda Johnston Question — "Is the student lounge a worthy project in our school?" 0-0-0 Janice Gaunt 13B: I feel it is very worthwhile because it provides a place where the stu- dents can go to talk to each other without any teachers. But unless the students take better care of it, then it is of no value at all. 0-0-0 Debbie Demaray 12B: Yes! But I wish high school students would learn to take care of it better. It's a good place to go to visit with each other. 0-0-0 Opinions of certain 13's: Yes, we need a lounge! But it should be kept clean! If each homeroom class would be responsible for the cleaning of the lounge for one week, it would be cleaner and everyone would share the re- sponsibility of keeping it that way. Why should the lounge manager be totally responsible? 000 Abe Haasnoot 12C: I think the student lounge is a good thing be- cause it is a good place to go when there is nothing else to do. 0 0 0 Graham Kay 12M: I don't think that it is fulfilling its purpose be- cause I don't think that it is an asset to the student body. 0-0-0 Alison Roberts 9K: Yes, be- cause it is a good place to go and get away from school work. 0-0-0 Fred State OM: I've never been there! Caveat Emptor (Compiled by students of Consumer Education 301) Although hockey helmets are comparatively new to the Cana- dian hockey scene, under the ju- risdiction of the Canadian Ama- teur Hockey Association (CAHA), all hockey players are required to wear them. Last fall, the Canadian Asso- ciation of Consumers (CAC) test- ed 12 popular brands of helmets including two bearing CSA seals. As of January 1, 1974, regulations under the Hazardous Products Act require hockey helmets to meet new safety standards. The helmets which do not meet the standards may not be sold, ad- vertised or imported into Canada as hockey helmets. At the time of the testing, only two helmets on the market had received CSA approval. How- ever, CCM's new Pro -standard helmet has since received ap- proval and been put on sale. Spalding and Cooper helmets were the other two helmets that met CSA approval. Non -CSA approved helmets were rated from "fair" to "very good" in various categories. The non -CSA approved helmets will no longer be on the market and the CAC advises your child not to continue to wear any banned hel- mets which may have been pur- chased before January 1, 1974. Watch out for banned hockey helmets which appear on the shelves under other categories such as lacrosse helmets, sports helmets, etc. Do not buy these. If you bought them before January 1, 1974, since they are not safe, throw them out!!! They do not provide adequate protection. THINK SAFETY. Ensure that your child is wearing a helmet that meets regulations under the Hazardous Products Act. Report- er - Cathy Lanting.
