Question 6. It is commonly believed that teenagers are spending money to a greater de- gree than ever before. Do you agree? How much influence do you think T.V., radio, and other advertising has on your spending? Answer â€" Many teenagers are Spending too much money because parents say, "I didn‘t have it but I want my child to have it.” Teenâ€" agers are spending too much money from a desire to conform to the ways of the crowd.

Indian Wisdom * ‘k * THE KITCHEN CHIMNEY Builder, in building the little house, in every way you may please yourself; But please, please me in the kitchen chimney: Don‘t build me a chimney upon a shelf. However far you must go for bricks, Whatever they cost a-piece or a pound, Buy me enough for a full length chimney, And build the chimney clear from the ground. It‘s not that I'm greatly afraid of fire, But I never heard of a house that throve (And I know one that didn’t thrive) Where the chimney started above the stove. And I dread the ominous stain of tar That there always is on papered walls And the smell of fire drowned in rain That there always is when the chimney’s false. A shelf‘s for a clock or vase or picture, Bu: don't see why it should have to bear A chimney that only would serve to remind me Of castles I used to build in air.

Mr. Stewart said. “I must say that these are trying and difficult times for young peo- ple. They are being besieged from all sides by advocates of conflicting philoso- phies. They are torn between the old and new standards in a society that wants more pay for less work and less responsi- bility. They are tossed about in a world that idolizes its athletes. and too often ig- nores its scholars. They are shocked by the hunger and nakedness ol’ people in the under-developed countries. They are numbed by violence and by man‘s inhuâ€" manity to man in wars. revolutions and personal relationships. I sometimes wish that the press. radio and television people would emphasize more the fact that the vast majority of young people are sensible and reliable, “I was pleased to see the way that the young people were involved in politics in the re- cent leadership campaign. Thcy gave these events new zest and new life. They added colour and made us realize that to marrow is upon us; that Canada is not only a young country. it is a country of young people." The Minister told the girls that it is a challenge to he a young person in the world today 15
