- November 18, 1965 THE NEWS Page 7 ARE CANADIAN TEENAGERS REALLY DRAB? -by A.J. McKechnie 10A California teenagers complain, "Canadian teens are drab, they're too conservative, they have no spunk!" Well to begin with, who are they to decide who has spunk and who hasn't? In my cpinion, our friends across the border have confused their ideas of| being lively with being ridiculous! ! They say we are conformists because we wear accepted styles and do accepted dances! They want us to be more individualistic - well so far, with us copying what they have already brought around, has it done anything for us besides give us all, in the U.S. and Canada, the label "The Lost Generation" No, and has all their colourful wildly styled clothes and loud conduct done anything for them? No again and why - Because even with all their outside glitter they do nothing for society!! They sit around being thoughtless and useless and help no one. So | ask what's wrong with us being a little conservative! ! Do they have a volunteer movement that helps the sick in hospitals like our Canadian "Candy Stripers" | seriously doubt it - they are all so busy making a big splash in society and being different (to the point of ridiculousness) that they have no time left to think of being helpful. So aren't we really better off the way we are? "GREY CUP" SOCIAL The next event on the Curling Club's calendar will be a "Grey Cup" social.

His father was a baker And like some fathers, he Sort of helped choose the profession As to what he'd like his son to be. Parcels for the needy From us their family hid, They didn't believe in talking about All the good deeds they did. But when | hear (GIVE US THIS DAY) Thats all that is said, Then | know why there was SCOTT'S BAKERY And why they gave bread. To those who stopped and said hello This meant far more than you'll every know, | Some well recall for often they'd say SMILE, because a smile goes a long, long way. TERRACE BAY AND SCHREIBER HYDRO UTILITIES | too believe in that golden stair, And picture Mom and Willa joining Pop's hand there, My pretty Mom in a shining gown And on Pon's head was placed a crown. Mom often said, "There's one to take our place" But, | can't find the one in Mom's and Pop's case, You must feel the same when loved ones you lose No one ever seems to fill their empty shoes. But, it eases the deep ache as its in God's word, If we trust in him, we will feel assured That there is that home of no more pain JNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. Knew | was loved, daughter Toots.
