The mottos "Do your own thing!" and "Live and let live" are' recurring`, themes in the 1970's. The satisfying of individual de- sires is first in the. priorities of many people. A sign of the times? Perhaps. But it is not unique to this age and ou r society. Accord- ing to Zimmerman's Cyclical Theory of Family Change, the stage at which the individual is all-important is termed the "Atomistic Stage". According to Zimmerman, it was during this stage that both the Greek and Ro- man civilizations fell to destruc- tion. A sobering thought, indeed. And realistically, what chance of survival has a society in which the component individuals have individual pleasure as the main concern in life? The question, "Is our society centred around this idea of indi- vidualism?", arises. There are many trends which would in- dicate this. Both men and women are shunning the `stereo -types' of yesteryear and searching instead for personal ftilfillrlieh t:' Will this lead to a sacs satisfied peopl the individual) . d jested, this spur n as theor- etically ruined tiVO pr-eerabus civil- izations? Questions such as "Are more people hurting others to benefit themselves? and "How many people actually put others before themselves?" come to mind. No one person can made a blanket statement in answer to these. Each' person must decide for , himself, with his life and his ex- periences the criteria upon, which he will base his decision. The benefits and drawbacks of an individualistic society remain unclear. If the achievement of in- dividual desires promotes self- fulfillment and greater individual security,. it stands to Treason that these individuals .Shottid. ' able to. .interact succesSfull7 In, a society. However, if the qtareo- types of our society' our major reference for evaluating the rights and wrongs nf' behavior, are destroyed, can tn# sodetY continue to exist? Social scientists have .sPePit many years investigating MCP ideas, yet they are unable to find definite answers. All the :setae, they bear thinking about;' for each of us must base Tour:life on one or the other. = Frederick Grove has written that the fundamental right off every human being is the right to determine, his own cote of action. Yet with the pressures of today -- taxes, housing, f f costs, unions, and job pressures ' to what extent can any indid- ual do this? Are these pressures responsible for the individualistic trends we see today? • The decision of each individual as to what he wishes to' accomp- lish in life, and how he tries to do this, affects what' kind of a society he lives in. Whether to have concern for other people, or to put personal desires before all else, is- a decision we must bill make'sometime during our lives. If a majority of people choose to seek individual desires ontly,`.;,de- struction may result. However, if most people 'care about the other guy' we see a very different scene emerging — a society in which we live, helping others, helping our- selves. selves. The choice is ours. —Marjorie Powell 13B. JUNIOR.

The Madill team began to make baskets in the second half and came out on top at the end of the game with a score of 25-20. 0-0-0 SENIOR. FOOTBALL. . At half-time in Listowel on Oct. 23 with a 9 to 6 lead it looked as if the Madill Senior Mustangs were on their way to their first victory. However, it was not to be, as a strong second half offensive dis- play by Listowel plus several un- timely fumbles by the Mustang offense enabled Listowel to score 23 points in the second half. The final score — Listowel 29, Mus- tangs 9. Offensive highlights were Dennis Thompson's 15 yard touchdown run on a double reverse on the last play of the first half, and Dave Crowe's two pass receptions for 35 yards. Also included were a great solo tackle by Rick Foxton, setting up a 2 Editorial As long as I can remember, myself as. well as my peers have always been searching.aimless�ly for the magical moment when we 'grow up'.

This is what Ontario is doing to protect you. We have a new law in Ontario called the Business Practices Act. Its purpose is to prevent unfair business practices in sales to the public. Here's what the law does: • it prohibits false, misleading or deceptive tactics in the sale of products and services. • it prohibits too high prices, unfair contracts and high-pressure sales methods. • helps people get their money back if a seller has taken unfair advantage of them. The Province of Ontario wants you to get your money's worth when you buy. Expensive items such,as cars and homes require a lot of thought, so the Government of Ontario has prepared some simple booklets that tell you what to watch out for when you buy, explain- ing the do's and don'ts about: "Buying a Car" "Buying Real Estate" "Buying a Condominium" "Getting a Mortgage" You can also get a booklet called "Balance in the Marketplace—The Consumer's Guide to the Business Practices Act."

This, definitely, wasn't where the grown ups hung out either. I was depressed Here I was (almost) over 4 f cit tall, able'fo' reach the hat rack above the coat hooks in our room and still not a 'big person.' Then the 'day came to get my first brassiere. (This probably won't have much effect on you guys, but .fol- us its a magical stage.) I asked my brother if he noticed anything new and he replied. "What, did you get your hair cut or somethin'?" I turned away, with deflated ego, realiz- ing this wasn't even growing up. Years went by; I was allowed to wear eyeshadow, drink coffee and go on dates. Still my mind wondered if I had missed the wonderful `age'. The entering to high school made me more wond- rous for here I was an ankle - biter, just a grade niner. Time slipped by; I passed my license, got•a part-time job and even acquired a social insurance number. But for some reason I continued to search. Now that I near legal 'adult- hood age' I wonder 'why the things I had envied and re- spected did not meet my expecta- tions? What really makes a person grow up? I think perhaps it is a time when you learn right from wrong, when you solidly establish your morals. Maybe it is a time when you learn to love — without selfishness — without criticism. Itt could be a day when you accept the beauty and wealth of this lore. I guess. too, it is a time when we realize that money, chic hair cuts, new clothes and big cars do not make us wealthy. Because the clothes and hair cuts go out of style, the money is spent and the big car rusts. Growing up must be a time when we understand ourselves, our minds, our ac- tions, an hour when we stop ignoring our souls. Just maybe we grow up when we learn not to always live for tomorrow. but for this hour, the one at hand. Still perplexed. but not sad, I know now that all the grown up veneer means nothing. So don't set a time or an event. Grow and learn. There is no special age. Besidces. today is what is impor- t+ I live it fully - perhaps we will c:i,+W up tomorrow.

Madill of- ficially welcomed the grade nines to our school. Under the supervi- sion of Mrs. Lobb, the Athletic Council. -did a fine job in conduct- ing games and relays. These activities seemed to have a few added complications. How often have you played volleyball with a sheet hung over the net? The program was then turned over to the Drama Club. This was the highlight of the evening as they produced music, acting and tom foolery as has never been seen on a- Madill stage before. "Thirteen` Years of School" was the opetting b'act.. The 13 things your andther probably told you `not' to do throughout your school years were demonstrated by Janice Rae; Bev Maize, Sandra Henderson, Janet McPherson, Debbie Brenzil, Kelly Jones, Gail McPherson,- Jack Thompson, Ji yee Chainney, Nelson Under- wood, Ansley Currie, Sally LeVan and Jacinta Kieffer. Next came a few songs from Kevin Townsend and Robin Brent. If you have ever watched "Hee Haw" you'll know how they performed!' Some of the Lucknow Concert' Band played a few numbers which certainly aroused the crowd. Some kids even got up to jive. "Wilbur the Worm" was the title of a skit . presented by Theresa Millen ;and' Marilyn Murray. Even though Ther ega's arms were the only thing show- ing, she was very definitely there. "Gotta Quit_ .Kickin' My Dog Around" was the next act. This was done by hillbilly musicians, singers and dancers. (We aren't sure wheire they came from but we'd all be mighty proud to have them .come on down to Madill anytime.) The grand finale consisted of all those taking part in the pro- duction singing our old school song. Following the entertainment a banquet was held in the cafeteria hosted by Mr. Lee. A -sock hop was held from 7-8 p.m. in the gym. We extend our warmest wel- come to the new, enthusiastic grade [liners; they will be a great asset to our school body. A very special thanks to Marilyn Murray and the Drama Club for spending precious time on the production. Also thanks to Mr. Wood, Mrs. Lobb, Henry Olechowski and Mark Tiffin' for their hard work and support. That's the "Spirit"!

Manufacturers of negative heel shoes clai'io that they are the natural way of walking. Since the heel is lower than the toe the body is more erect, and this is to im- prove posture. It is claimed that they reduce backaches and help to strengthen leg muscles, ankle and arch. Doctors claim that. negative heel shoes will do no harm to adults but can cause serious harm to children. Girls up to 16 The Film Club Mr. Elgie is the presiding teacher at the film club meetings but as he mentioned, it is not his club, it is the students' club. They must make the club what it is — either good or bad. Although he gives helpful advice he doesn't dictate to the club. Don Thacker is the president of the club. He feels that this year they have a good mixture of all the grades, but regular attendance is needed. They are in need of more mem- bers who are willing to come out and have fun yet contribute something worthwhile to the club. At present the club is working on a film entitled "A Day at School". The members feel this is the biggest project of the year and the most interesting. Near the end of the film they are taking shots of some teachers. So beware! Even though it is only a short film it takes a lot of skill, effort and time to produce one just right. If you are interested in joining there is still time, just come to room 215 on Tuesday and Thursday nights in activity period and get involved. —Mary Anne Alton t hough we lost the'first game 15-8.

Emptor and boys up to 18 years of age can suffer from long term muscle damage since this type of shoe puts tension on the muscles in the legs. My sister learned this the hard way. She experienced cramping in her feet and so she went to see a doctor. When she told him the symptoms, the doctor took one look at her shoes and told her that the negative heel shoe was . the worst kind for her feet. He said that the foot is meant to have the heel higher than the toe. The tension put on your legs by hav- ing the heel lower could cause phlebitis, which is inflammation of the veins in the legs. This is only one example of misrepresentation that we are subjected to andfall prey to. Claims that are made in maga- zines and catalogues lead the consumer to believe that he is getting good quality from the product. But the consumer must also be careful that they do not just buy an item because it is a fad.
