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.

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. SS, modern I could cheerfully have drawn up a chair and stayed for the remainder of the period in Mrs. D.
