Several good things, come along with the inspection, though; we get the rest of Friday off after the inspection is over, and arrange- ments have been made for some of the boys to tour the Clinton Radio School Friday afternoon. Friday eve- ning the annual High School Cadet 'ian,ce takes place. As usual, the girls want the boys to wear their uni- forms; this is not our own idea, but merely the announcement of the fem- inine wishes in the matter.

Ever singe, everybody has been talking about the beautiful scenery of the West,. of the fierce animals (especial- ly snakes, eh girls!) of the East. Last week, hi your perusal of that week's edition, of this paper, perhaps you noticed on the front page, an article supposedly giving a report of an address given by E. L. Fox, Prin- cipal of Seaforth High School, before the Lions Club. Many people through - oat Seaforth read that article; many were a little shocked, some were .con- fused, and others were disappointed. by it. It stated that "he questioned the need for an organized 'Teen Town in Seaforth." it went further, saying that there were too many, outsideat- tractions tractions already, and that there were too many j. venile organizations. Tues- day morning in assembly, Mr.. Fox clarified the situation for the stud- ents. Let us do the same for you townspeople now. In the name of Sus - flee, understand this t`horoughly- that art cle"was a grossly unfair mis- representation of the facts, unfair to Mr, Fox, and 'to anyone else who tries to improve youth's status in Sea - forth. Here are the facts of Mr. Fox's speech; you will sea how eas- ily werds and phrases may be picked up and strung together to twist the meaning of the original source, in this case so that a group reluctant to take action would have! an easy way out. • , Two years ago, having been re- quested to do so by teen-age elements both in and Out of school, the Lions a:.;.ointed a committee, the usual up- standing sort of committee, to look into the establishment of a Teen ;own. There, •the . matter ran aground; apparently that was the end of it. Anyway, nothing was ever :lone towards its establishment. What :Jr. pox raid was that IF a.Teen-Town is such a dead issue, a's it apparently is for some unknown reason, an or- nanization for teen-agers who are out of school, with school facilities for rnee tiegs and dances, but under out- ' i,le supervision, would be a second - hest alternative. However, Mr. Fox wholeheartedly agrees with the estab- lishment of a Teen -Town, to bring to- gether all teen-agers. A Teen -Town would have to.besponsored and op- erated outside the school because certain privilges have to be allowed the older; out-of-school teen-agers; in order to interest them. If a full- fledged Teen -Town is out, although no en.e can see why it should be, then such an organization as is mentioned above' would partly serve the pur- poae In regard to other parts of the art- icle. -t14 part about five nights of homework being necessary, no one will dispute that, least of all the students, but no Teen -Town, or any similar organization, is operated more than one night a week, Friday or Sat- urday night, unless holidays make special occasions possible. Most of such organizations operate only dur- ing the fall, early winter and spring, because hockey games- and skating take the Members' time on the avail- able evenings, in winter, and in sum- mer many- are out of town. As for the responsibility to be tak- en in building such an organization, as Mr.. Fox said, the chief necessity is a "good, live committee,' who hon- estly want to do something for the young generation, besides criticizing them. "But the difficulties . . you say; how many good constructive things have been done in this world without overcoming some difficulties, Abe they great or small? Well, readers (if we have any left), now you know the facts.
