Chairman Mrs. Mildred Toogood stated that “If dif- ficulties arise on a bus, the driver should go to the school principal. The prin- cipal has the power of dis- clpline.” It was stressed that a child should not be put off a bus in the evenl’ of misbehaviour but must be taken to his stop and the principal notified. The principal would then deal with the problem. “We ask drivers to be respon-j sible not only for driving a bus and obeying traffic rules, but for disciplining children as well. No teacher is asked to do this,” protested Trustee Stuart Watson. Mr. Watson stated that the Department of Transport has recommended that safety pat- rols be organized with older children who live at the begin- ning of bus routes. two to a bus.

Not entirely, though, as you can see! I try, in most things I do and am involved with. to main- tain an even level of emotion. Some of us call it “keeping our cool.” By temperament, I hate to be swept away on any cu11ent of mass feeling, and l stiongly 1esist those f01ces and events that thieaten the composure of my judgment and action Nonetheless, I will admit quite candidly that, unlike any other such passage in the year, the movement from December 31 to January 1 gives me a feeling of finality on the one hand and the sense of a new beginning on the other. The old year IS finished, and the new year HAS begun. And I FEEL this. This is why “KALEIDOS‘COPE ’68” was such a temptation. Tmumuuuulmnumuw This is the time of year when preanhers, speakers and writers of all kinds talk about New Year’s resolutions. I’ll not surprise you â€" I intend to do the same. But rather than discuss specific resolutions, I wish to talk about the meaning of resolutions as I see it, and then relate it to the age group I represent. If 1 sound a little preachy at times. please bear with me -â€" lying here in the hospital, I have lots of time to think and mull things over, and it’s a bit of a. relief to get some things off my chest. A kind of therapy, perhaps? Among my many friends who come in to visit with me. I have found varying reactions to the idea of New Year’s resolutions. One simply snorted: “A waste of time.” Another said he’d never given much thought to the matter and could see little or no validity to New Year’s res- olutions. Still another said that she DID make New Year’s resolutions: “1 make resolutions all year round, really, but New Year’s seems like a good time to start afresh.” A fourth respondent introduced a note of caution: “I ‘ry not to make any wild promises that I won’t e able to keep. Otherwise. I’m disappointed. So I try to stick to a philosophy of moderation.” ' Motel week. The above opinions are a sampling of the many I solicited, and they all break down into the categories of “some do, and some don’t”. Not that the “don’t” shy away from making any resolu- tions at all. Their feeling seemed to be that you make good resolutions whenever you think you need to. To make resolutions at New Year’s because it’s the thing to do is not likely to result in effective action, and, therefore, it’s a waste of time. But I found that both groups were agreed that in living our lives, we do need from time to time to make good resolutions which we know we MUST keep if our lives are to be what we can make them. This brings me to my own point of View. I’ve heard it said that the examined life is the only life worth living. I take this to mean that every now and then, we have to take time out and have a session with ourselves. We have to ask ourselves very frank questions and give ourselves answers equally as frank. If we are really sincere about this exercise, we will find elements about the way we live that need to be discarded. We’ll also find those that need to be added. For example, we may recognize that we devote to activities that little deserve it more time than we should. The reverse of the coin, of course, is to organize and plan better and then steel ourselves to stick to our plan. This would require a good resolution, one that we should not wait till New Year’s to make, and one that we should renew as often as we need to. Briefly, what I’m trying to say is that I think any worth- while life is the result of a continuing series of good resolutions. And if New Year’s reminds us of this and inspires us to try again to make effective resolutions. then I’m all for New Year’s resolutions l At the beginning of this column, I said that I wasn’t going to discuss specific resolutions. But I would like to share with you a few of my wishes and hopes for 1968. First, of course, I’d like to see the end of the war in Vietnam. I see war as a kind of disease that eats away the best in human nature and society. I’d hate to think it was an incurable disease. I’ll pray and hope for a permanent cure. Secondly, I’d like to think that this new year will see an improvement in dialogue between youth and age. So many of our elders think we wish to opt out of responsibility for ourselves. for our world. Most of us don’t wish anything of the kind. But we do know that our world is chang- ing with increasing rapidity: and we know. too, that many of the old answers no longer. apply. We may not yet know the new answers. but we‘re looking for them. And we'd gladly accept the help of those adults who have the wisdom to admit that they. too. are searchers. ‘ It just doesn't help to say to us: “Now, when 1 was young.” Because our young is now. and the answers and help we need is for now. Somehow, .we don’t think that our parents’ THEN helps them today any more than it helps us. But, together, I think we can do a lot better than being critical of one another.
