The Seaforth News, 1948-05-27, Page 1h HURON COUNTY'S LEADING NEWSPAPER WHOLE SERIES, VOL. 71, No, 22 SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 OFFERED HIGH SCHOOL GOLDEN WEDDING OF KIPPEN COUPLE FACILITIES TO TEEN-AGERS A .letter was printed in these col- umns last week which would indicate that there was a definite misunder- standing as to the content of an ad- dress recently given by Principal E. Lorne Fox of the Seaforth )high School to the Lions' Club. Included in the address was a discussion of Teen-towgn and all the problems arising from such an or- ganization. Mr. Fox, in an interview this week, stated to the News,. that he had pointed out that nothing had been done about providing a Teen - town since the request was received two years ago. Also, that he had re- commended that, since the greatest need was for the out-of-school teen- agers, a second alternative would be for the Lions Club to appoint a "Very Active Committee" which could work with the High School and. use. the High School facilities. This committee could hand out -"Admit Cards" to suitable teen-agers to at tend all High School parties and dances. A representative of the com- mittee should attend all the major functions. Any outsider whose ac- tions were not suitable for such a group would have his privilege card withdrawn. It was Mr. Fox's opinion that if two or three cards were withdrawn, to show that the rules of the school were to be ob- served, b - served, h t almost every teen -aged boy and girl in Seaforth and -the surrounding district could be admit- ted to these functions.
