Ever gone shopping and left your dog
inside your car—confident of your best
friend’s best behavior? Recently a
Vancouver resident returned from a
store to find that Rover, in a fit of
frenzy, had ripped his car’s upholstery
to shreds. This meant costly repairs—
work he felt sure wasn’t covered by
his insurance.

He would have paid the bill himself but
for a chance meeting with his insurance
agent, who told him: ‘Your policy will
pay for this damage hecause you
bought ‘comprehensive’ coverage

Whether it’s a simple routine matter
or a serious accident, you'll benefit from

the personal guidance and assistance
of your insurance agent. He’s an

THA TRIBUNE, WILLIAMS LAS, 6.6,

.., WITH IRENE

I went to Oven Honse for the first
time at the high school last week.
I of course would wait until the
year that nothing special was plan-
ned for the public's benefit, but it)
was interesting just the same, +

I was sorry not to take in the
elementary school too, but with two
small children, it is difficult to get
around to everything. From thé re-
ports, I probably wasn't missed in
the terrible‘jam.

It is interesting to make a com
parison and note the psychological
changes in a child from elementary
to high school. The young child is
eager for his mother to visit the
school; he sits up proud and pleased
as Punch and wants everyone to!
know that his Mom is here.

Not so the teen-ager. He carefully
avoids passing along any inform
tion that ‘open house” will be held;
and seems to practically die of em-
barrassment if Mom should happen
to appear. Consequently few parents:
made their appearance at the high
school. And I was probably the only
itor who didn't have a child in
either school.

Students of the first elass we went
into were listening attentively to a
talk on banking by Neil Smith, of
the local branch of the Bank of
Montreal. Many business and pro-
fessional men
and women have
been asked to
speak to the high
school students,
and prolably
have been instru-
mental in _help-
ing some of them

to decide what
career: they wish- JIC. ©
ed to pursue.

(The editor and I have given talks
on journalism on several instances,
but the interest in this profession
notoriously low. In fact, I asked one
class how many were interested in
journalism, and not a hand was
raised.)

I was somewhat appalled to notice
several students in this room appar-
ently studying or working on other
subjects. Although they tried to be

quiet, it was impossible not to make
some noise in turning pages and
getting out more hooks. I felt it
must have been extremely dixtsact-
ing to the speaker.

When I spoke to the teacher, Miss
C. Pendleton, about this later, she|
explained there was no separate
room available for study periods and
it was necessary to utilize any spare
desks. I could see advantages in this
later, where the study students were
working industriously under the
supervision of a teacher who was
also teaching pupils on the other
side of the room.

I was disappointed that the big
machines were not working in the
woodworking class where teicher
Fred Johnson was lecturing on
drafting. We saw a number of fine
examples of what they are turning
out though, and I would have dearly
loved to bring home one of the slick
modern coffee tablss. When IJ: ven-
tured the remark that I thought the
miniature houses being constructed
by Grade 12 seemed a more practical
aspect and of more use later in life
rather than learning to make maga
zine racks, Mr. Johnson explain
that making the furniture was two-
fold. It taught them a‘hobby. and
also the proper use of tools that can
be found in any basement. All of the
furniture could Wa turned out by
hand.

In Mr. Art Halleran’s ¢ , the
clack of typing filled the room as
students hunted and pecked for the
keys. It sure took me back . . . quite
a few years. The machines were
quite a lot more antiquated then
too, compared to the
stream-lined ones.
