Tn light of these facts, the comments of a 18- year-old Ladner student are.extremely timely, He has called for greater discipline in schools { and says teachers should make more use of the } strap. Trevor Nidoski was keynote speaker at the 5 68rd annual provincial convention of the Knights Blood Donor Clinic Although March was officially designated ‘- as Red Cross month, the need for blood is urgent {all through the year and a boost for the blood bank is always timely. : being held in Castlegar again this coming ~ With the seml-annual Blood Donor Clinic | Monday afternoon and evening, it’s worth remembering that a pint of blood must be’ j ‘collected every 15 seconds of every working day t to, Saat supply the needs of Canada’s hospitals. t year the Canadi inn Red Cross collected a i million pints of blood. j.-°: Blood saves surgery patients, burn and. shock victims, leukemia and hemophilia cases, It is used to combat polio, German: meastes and * infectious hepatitis, it takes only a few minutes to donate “the \ gift of life”.

He was among nine students from B.C.: and one from Whitehorse who appeared in the public speaking finals in Surrey. In his talk on discipline in the schools to the KC's 350 banquet delegates, wives and guests, the young speaker. used pronounced: vigor and raised voice in expressing himself. i . At the end of his 10-minute speech he was given a‘standing ovation. “Do you think students are being sufficient- ly disciplined in our schools today?" he snapped in his opening line. He then went on to say students in private schools receive discipline but some teachers in the public school fyatem “don't give a hoot” « _ about'a student's bel ior. “How is that kind at attitude going to affect “the student's personality in future years,” ‘he quizzed. Nidoski said the complacent attitude among some teachers is forcing students to take drugs and alcoho! as an outlet for their frustrations. “Schools are for learning, ‘not fooling,” he insisted. ‘Why’ have schools abandoned old faithful—the strap.
