Conference on the Family Influences that Effect the Family B.C. Conference on the Family this week discusses educational, cultural and re- ligious influence on the family: Note: Schools and social customs, philosophical and re-. ligious convictions—all_influ- ence family life, When these change, we may expect change in the life-style of the family. What changes in the cur- rent mental, emotional and spiritual climate of British Columbia do we desire for the sake of better family life? And what can we do to bring such changes about? These are the underlying considerations in this Topic Seven. a, Formal education in British Columbia is dominated by the public schools and state- financed universities. What are the pros and cons of this system; and what changes for the better would you recom- ment? b. For the sake of the” family what alterations would you suggest in the social native Mestyles affecting fam- fly life? c Strong political and religious convictions deeply af- fect people and families. How can leaders in these fields best promote public concern for family life? d. Many activities today are said to be “escapes” — e.g, ‘spectator sports or TV. Would people become happier, and families stronger, if more at- tention were given to the meaning of life — its purpose, its goal?

Committee Holds 14th Session One of the main features of ine .dourteenth Session of the at.the time were not yet stable enough for the type of life they had paren held April 4 in the Pass Creek Community, Hall was a treatise exposing the misleading’ interpretation by certain factions of the Doukhe- bor community who attempt to find justification for acts of violence and terrorism in nebu- lous sayings, prophecies and texts, Secretary of the Research Committee, Peter J. Popoff, rejected any suggestions that “the end can justify the means” and the contention that “small fires can be used to prevent large ones.” Mr. Popoff's state- ments met with support from the large crowd in attendance, as well as from the chairman of the Union of Spiritual Commun- ities of Christ, John J. Verigin. The main purpose of these i symposiums is to gather factual data on the multi-faceted his- tory of the Doukhobors, begin- ning with their origin in Russia to their present day life in Canada. A regular contributor to the sessions, Elder Elisey Koot- nikoff, presented an account of two separate events featured during the period following the outbreak of the revolution in Russia in 1917 to the end of the ° First World War. He spoke about a group of 370. Inde- pendent Doukhobors, who had previously Jeft the communal order, and returned to Russia in 1922. The venture ended in failure, as conditions in Russia The other account was in relation to the burning-of-arms ceremony held at Verigin, Sask, on August 1, 1919, The tragedy. of the First World War had brought many Doukhobors who, in their “freedom” from conformance to communal re- ligious ordances had acquired various firearms, to realize the * grave implications “of owning fire-arms; henee the re-enact ment at Verigin, Sask. of the original burning-of-arms in the Caucasus of Russia on St. Peter's Day, June 29, 1895." John P, Stoochnoff of Cal- gary, spoke on the education issue, stressing the fact that the elder Peter Verigin was not opposed to education, but was mainly concerned in protecting the children attending public schools from exposure to indoc- trination of patriotism, militar- ism and nationalism. Mike M. Chernoff of Castlegar read an excerpt from a Russian language encyclo- pedia dealing with the origin of the Doukhobors and their lead- ers, beginning in Russia in the early 18th century. He also referred to his service as private secretary to Peter P. Verigin for 11 years, stating that he had never heard him suggest or advise anyone to commit deeds of violence or terrorism. The symposium will con- tinue on May 2 in the Tarrys Community Hall. ‘Whether youre decorating, We have beda asked to explain what a “cinquain" is. Well, here goes: A cinquain is a five-line poem about an ‘idea, a detail, or an experience, A“word cinquain” is form- ed as follows: Line 1—title (one word); Line 2—description of the title (two words); Line 3— action about the title (three words); Line 4—feeling about the title (four words); and Line §—synonym for the title’ fone word), e ee Would you like an example of a “word cinquain"? “Parentheses Paired symbols Left (and right) Great for holding words Bowlegged.”* Try one! o 8 8 Mr. Matthews and Mr, Salekin worked many long, dusty, hard hours to get our new sclence room into shape.. {It really is a joy to behold.) Much credit*is due Mr. Paul Phipps who, worked tire- lessly.on the initial planning of the science area.’ It features individual “islands” each with its own gas and water connec- tion, where science teammates work at their labs. ‘Mr. Matthews considers it to be unique in this district and a very progressive achieve: ‘ ment indeed. i He tells us that at K. J. the emphasis is upon the “experi- mental”. approach to science. He particularly enjoys teaching students with inquisi- tive minds, He thinks a person who asks “why” or who tries to give an explanation of why something happens has the greatest potential in the science field. (We couldn't resist ask- ing to name a‘student who had such potential . . . Beatrice Richards—take a bow!) Mr. Matthews -never dodges a question and he is delightful to interview. He has. given us a list of his course objectives for both grade 8 and grade 9 students. For grade 8's, he aims to produce students who are able to work “efficiently” in the selence lab. This means he expects them to be able to “set up” and “use” the equipment, and no nonsense about itt @ He undertakes to give them a general survey of | chemistry, geology, and optics suitable for their age level and experience. He places his em- phasis on chemistry.” ‘e For grade 9's there are three main areas to cover: biology, chemistry, and phys- ics, (Each area is limited, of course, to the students, present ability.) el biology. respiration is studied. (Why do we- breathe?). ‘The follow-up is photosynthesis. e In chemistry, students work. with simple chemical reactions. Time is spent on writing and balancing chemical. equations. e In physics, simple ma- chines are studied. (How do they make work easier for us?) In anticipation of this, the library has been building up some great new books on inventions. re ee ee The science room has two aquariums — goldfish, and (hopefully) “sword tails” are to be the inhabitants thereof. ‘The two gerbils, Mike and Ike, escaped recently but were captured by Gary Ellis after a day's sleuthing. Mike was found in the “old” science room, but adventurous Ike was cornered Marlene Vereshine have done some research for us, They say that the girls love the dancing, ("Fantastic’ is the word.) They practice very rhythmic folk dances, interna- tional in scope. The girls have learned the American “Cotton Eye Joo” and some Israeli round dances, ("Debka", "Da- agim”, “Troika”, "Merinko”, *Korabushka", "Se- tnja"—all will be forthcoming.) eo ee Miss MeIntec is also intro- ducing 5BX exercises for wo- men (seven minutes every day).
