It‘ was all the fault of the] i graduations, graduates and this late-spring, early-summer time of the year. This is the time, as everyone knows, for the first fruits of the early spring giddiness and mis- directed enthusiasm to be born, to to hatch, to marry or to graduate as the species and situation dic- tates, Practically everyone has ci- ther been graduated or has at- tended a graduation ceremony re- cently. I have attended two, The first was on receipt of a very]: kind invitation from Margie Obet- off for her graduation from the Royal Jubilee Hospital. The sight of all these young! women in white with their rose bouquets and caps remind- ed me of the film Stairway to Heaven, Margie was the fourth “angel” from the left, second; row. ‘The second graduation cere- mony was last week, during which over 200 Victoria high school students graduated. In these and in many other similar such ceremonies in past| years I am always i at! Ye All primitive societies and| some contemporary ones, includ- ing the Jews, mark the time with great emphasis, The young aspirant must show that he has the necessary physical skills, dig- nity, sense of responsibility and other requirements laid down by the group. It may mean killing a Ion or reading the, Torah in Hebrew in the Synagogue or collecting someone else's head, but - it marks him as haying reached a required standard. The initiations and ceremon- ies which he undergoes impress- es upon him the requirements, privileges and above all, the res- ponsibilities of manhood. I feel that much of our del- inquency has its roots in this lack of definiteness, of a sense of place and responsibility not clear- ly marked for the individual and society, Our young people too often ape the worst traits of their sen- iors under the impression that it it manly. Too often they demand the privileges of adulthood un- -how well the students conduct} themselves, How well they speak and take their parts in the cere- mony and above all, how im- portant it is to them. I can't der the i that is a right, little realizing that they are only advertising their own immaturity, How much better it would be if they could be pally (ceremonially, that is) from any- thing. In the days when I finally got through high school there was absolutely no graduation’ cere- mony — you had lessons to the Jast day, wrote your exams and went home and waited for the bad news, The question then? Is the of 3 P tion of high school or nursery school or university, of any val- ue? Some think of it as a frill. Some consider it very impor-' tant. I belong to the latter group. In fact Vl go further, and suggest that we don’t have enough ceremonial recognition of achievement. I feel that in our efforts to make things streamlined and practical we robbed ourselves and our children of much of the drama and significance of life and events. When, for instance, does a boy become a man? He doesn't £ know and neither does any on else and yet it is a highly signi- icant transition to him and soc- FOREST FIRES | "DAMAGE WATERSHEDS! : Ve and having reached a required an dard of skill and conduct. Their code of conduct would then be within themselves and supported by the expectations of those who now know them as individuals who have accepted the responsibilities and duties of adults. Theirs would then be the dig- nity of man, not just someone who had reached 21 years, And upon the dignity of man rests the integrity of the nation. What then, you ask me, has| | all this to do with being .“all the fault of the graduates.” Very simple. I became:so in- volved with the preparations for graduations, attending grad- uations and reflecting gradua- tions that I set aside another of the fruits of spring — a plate of strawberries. The strawberries, “following certain imutable and mysterious hemical ‘composition so’ that when I did get around to de- e vouring them, I had. ample time, for a couple days between vio- lent internal upheavals, rapid) trottings hither and yon and needles in various parts of my anatomy, to reflect on one other of the fruits of spring — food poisoning. During the week, my col-| leagues inform me, I have gone through a series of shades — pale blue, green, gray, pale yellow and now back to my normal — formaldehyde. Til never trust an oversize over-ripe strawberry again — and it-was all the fault of the grad- uates and graduations you see.

Additional funds are required because some bylaw funds were used to lay pipe outside the bylaw and because council fees it is desirable to build a larger water tank than the $8,- 000 ‘tank recommended by BoydAffleck of Nelson in his survey. Associated Engineers of Vancouver who have made a water survey report for the Millage of Castlegar, aré in charge of completing bylaw 113. tn its report, Associated Engineers said that- “under bylow 113 and its predecessors the system appears to have suffered from lack of over-all planning and failure to provide for future development of the village.” Associated feels the 100,000-gallon steel tank con- ‘templated for the village should not be purchased. It recommends, “as being a desirable minimum,” a 200,000 Imperial- gallon tank. Because the bylaw provides for erection of a 150,-- 000-gallon tank, Associated submitted the cost of the smaller tank for study. ‘Associated, points out that an earlier engineer's esti-... mate had allowed: $8,328, for a:concrete’reservoir with, aluminum -roofing..
