Patricia Young Says ; . .

North America Far Removed

Just what ac-
counts for the

§ seeming apathy,
indifference and
political naivete
of the average
North American?

Probably the fact that the
problems we talk about are far
Temoved from our lives—as if
we were trying to walk In the
shoes of a Peruvian peasant
who had never earned more
than a $100 a year!

To begin with, it Is not in
our human nature to go around
looking for trouble, unless one
happens to be a professional
revolutionary. Should we be-

\ come vaguely. alarmed when a
problem is brought to our.
attention, we tend to react,
either by burying our head in
the sand or dismissing the facts
as “hysterical” or “emotional”,

Secondly, few North Am-
ericans have ever experienced
hunger, flood, famine or
drought, Few have lived under
the dictatorship of Communism

* ‘or Facism. We do not know
what {t is to live without soap,
shoes, automobiles or packaged
foods.

We have not lived in the
shadow of a “live” volcano,
experienced a revolution or a
plague. And while a few old
timers.may remember some of
the horrors of the depression,
millions of citizens have never
known what it feels like to go
without a meal, let alone a day
without food. How many of us
have ever suffered a hole in our
shoe or been without a roof
over our head?

\” Perhaps, because we are
poilt in our affluence,

apend our time looking for
flaws in the system under
which we live, In picking at
peraonalitics. Tho open line
radio shows are replete with
cltizens who complain about s
neighbors dog. the mailman,
the price of booze or the way a
waitress wore her hair while
serving the soup!

We simply cannot compre-
hend the horror of a secret

“pollee, the firing equad, wait-

ing five years to buy a new car
or having to ask permission
from a government. bureau
before we visit Uncle Ted in the,
next village.

What teenager has never
ridden in an automobile? What
wife has ever been without
cooking oil? What father in
North: America ever had to
watch has children starve to
death, as in India.

To the contrary, every
year, the sale of booze is up, as
is the take at our racetracks,
sporting events and travel.
More people buy boats and
camera equipment each year.

The trouble with affluence
is that it tends to blurr’ our
perspectives, Rather than ap-
preciating our standard of
living, we take it as a divine
right and Took upon it as the
norm,

Unfortunately. history
points up that this attitude
contalns the seeds of its'own
destruction and destroys a
nation ss surely as does the
man who indulges his appetites
without restraint.

Is there an answer? There
is, but man has never found the
courage or leadership to put it

tion of significant contribution
to the advancement'and im-
provement of science educa-
ton.”

~ Mr. Dof’s other prize was a
share in third place for the
Gustav. Ohaus award for inno-
vative science teaching, a topic
about which he has some firm
beliefs.’

“If we produce more crea-
tive teachers, perhaps we can
get more youngsters excited
about learning,” he says.

“I realize that teachers’
hands are tied due. to budget
‘restrictions, a lack of materials,
bureaucracy and the realities of
tight teaching schedules, but
the truly creative teacher can
overcome these restrictions.

“There are too many’ con-

the sort of things we. are

excited and, in turn, their kids
become excited. Ideas are con-

‘The guidance helped Mr.
Doi. When he graduated and
began teaching at North Star
Elementary School in North
Vancouver, he started to put
some of the ideas into practice.

“The best way to encour
‘age and motivate creative
thinking is to pose challenging
questions. Give the kids a
problem and let them work it
out,” he says.

He challenged his class to
design a means of softlanding
eggs dropped from a height of
90 feet. Many of them could,
and did.

“Almost. without, knowing
it they became involved in
studying such things as air
pressure, gravity, velocity,
helght and distance,” Mr. Dol
says. “The method takes them
time but they get involved.

It is most important to
realize that the operation is
meant to be permanent, and no

* one should have it done with

the thought that he or she can
be “unsterilized” at a later date.

‘Techniques are available to
“undo” the sterilization, but.
these are very difficult, fre-

There Is little to choose
between the two operations,
‘Tubal ligation is effective im-

about two months for the man's

one or two sperm analyses
must be done to ensure that he
