(By Mrs. Ina Merrill)
On Monday, , February ' 22, the..
S.S. No. 4 Goderich Township,.
Farm Forum met at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. James Lobb. This
was review night and, after list-
ening to the broadcast, the time
was spent in recreation.
On Monday, March 1, the S.S.
No. 4 Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs, Morgan
Jones with 12 present. In answer
to the question, "Do you think
the property school tax is on a
fair basis? Give reasons." The
members . decided that they
thought the present system of
property taxation- is reasonably
fair because: (1) It is the one
way in which the money can be
Procured from each -property own-
er in the school section;, (2) If
the government shouldbe asked
to pay a „larger share of school
costs, we should soon lose control
of our local schools and that we
do not want to happen; (3)` Edu-
cation is a very necessary part of
our lives and
d where,teachers except by'
taxation, could the money be ob-
tained to pay for the necessary

The 'second question, "Do you
think any improvements are need-
ed in the, system of school finance
in, your province? If so, what
would you suggest?" 'brought a
lively discussion among the forum
members. It transpired that we
really do think some improvement
could be made and .that some
method should be devised where-
by non -owners of property, such
as trailer residents, should be tax-
ed, such tax to go to the school
allotment.

FIRESIDE FORUM
(By Mrs. J. R. Tebbutt)
Fireside Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert
Hoggart; with 16 adults ;,present.
The topic for the evening, "The
School Tax Rate", made a very
lively discussion, which carried
well over the alloted time usually
spent on the discussion' period.
Many good points, facts and fig-
ures were presented by two forum
members,,George Carter, township
assessor and Mrs. Harvey Taylor.
The opinion of this forum is too
lengthy to list in its entirety, but
to name just a few of the main
ideas: The tax should be on the
home only, not on thea, acreage;
there ,is no equalized assessment
over the province especially be-
tween urban and rural properties.
The same standard of education
should be practiced across Canada,
using
same text
books, so
the
u ils
p p will not be inconvenienced
if they should move , to a new
school. More federal assistance is
required, with no strings attach-
ed. Balance the school sections
more evenly. A Canada -wide
standard for teachers would be a
good thing.
A few games of euchre were en-
joyed at the conclusion clusion of
the
topic discussion. Winners were:
ladies, most games and lone hands,
Mrs. 'James Howatt; consolation,
Mrs. Joseph Babcock; men, most
games, Mrs. H. Tebbutt; lone
hands, Donald•Buchanan; consola-
tion, Mrs. George Hoggart.

Not long ago there was a juniorhockey
game in which the play grew so rough and
vicious that the referee himself was knocked
down. It seemed inevitable that someone
would get hurt or even killed if the game
continued. The referee stopped it. This hap-
pened in an organized league.
This shocking
incident
has a
n alarming
y
significance. ante. I

was beset tcmany scenes of violence and assaults ori visiting players. A
Ac-
cording
to the reports, there have been charges, counter-
charges and even court cases.
By no stretch of the imagination can all this be consider-
ed part and parcel of good sportsmanship. But such a sad -
state of affairs could hardly have developed without some poor
- examples, Youngsters in hockey, as in .all the other sports,
copy their elders. They trust the judgment of their coaches
and Ie r
ode s.T
Tie

y to them tor guidance.
Club leaders should recognise that they have a sacred
responsibility :Young Canada. We do not want to see the
Canadian adult of tomorrow turn out to be a ruffian with no
respect for constituted authority and. no regard for good
sportsmanship..
In the light of those incidents of rough play one may
wonder just what Canada's junior hockey players are being
taught, by instruction and by example. If, as one must
suspect, they are learning the dubious arts of thuggery,
slugging and foul language, then the _ outlook for major
hockey of the future is a sorry one indeed.
But there is another, vastly more disturbing aspect to
the matter: this kind of conduct is liable to be copied by
generaion after generation of players; each may always be
expected to follow worshipfully in the footsteps of its synthetic
heroes of: the lee -hums. The result could be disastrous to
Canadian sportsmanship as a whole.
What major hockey players perpetrate in the way of
mayhem arid discord is unseemly enough; but it is not as
significant as the sheer rowdyism that is becoming more than
more prevalent among the juniors. Senior p]ayers are al-
ready set on their .careers, But the juniors are just being
launched on what amounts to a pattern of Life. Unless many
of the reported incidents in Canada's junior hockey are ex-
aggerated, it's going to be a pretty sorry pattern of life.
The juniors are at the turning point of their lives as
future athletes and as future citizens. With tate wrong kind
of leadership, they could easily go the wrong way. If there
are, within the junior ranks, those who would teach tough
methods rather than good sportsmanship, they should be
weeded out -- but fast. ,
