The rot had : set in long before the Russians launch- - ed its first baby moon and the need to improve our: standard of education “was there ten years ago. And where did the rot set in? In the parents. Half of the children now -eannot spell. Some of them cannot cope with algebra or geometry be- cause, unkown to indifferent parents, they entered high school without being able to do the arithmetic they were supposed to have learned in ele- mentary school? _ Suddenly: the truth is brought home to busy, busy parents.

It couldn’t happen | “to my child.” But it could, since you weren’t around to see what your child was doing and were too busy to care half the time anyway. It isn’t the child’s fault.; Children aren’t basical- _ ly and naturally wicked, lazy or stu- pid. They are mirrors of their par- ents’ habits and examples, just the same as their looks arean image of involved Weremeepeee ener and the other half was being ignored by par- ents too busy to bother with them.

The response of men who want to get the pool finished, so that it can be of some use to the community, is both commendable and heart-warm- ing. Also to be landed is the staff of Northwest Construction Ltd., whose experience was needed for such an im- portant phase in the pool project. All in all, pool-wise, it was a most success- ful weekend despite the foul weather. Now that the impetus in the pool their father or mother. Take a look at yourselves parents.

The opportunity is there for men who want to see the project a reality and not a half-fullfilled dream. Only by keeping up a constant work flow can this be accomplished. Now is the time to wind up uncom- pleted pledges and for fresh blood to get in the act and do a fair share of a job that when concluded will be. an un- questionable asset to the city. Let’s have a good turnout every night of the week, The job will be over that much more quickly.
