CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thuraday, May 1, 1975 Patricia Young Says

North America

Just what ac-

Probably the fact that the problems we talk about are far removed 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 {s not in our human nature to go around looking for trouble, unless one happens to be a professional revolutionary. Should we be- come vay larmed 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 “eraotional”.

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 it is to live without soap, atioes automobiles or packaged

s.

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?

because we are apotte in our affluence, we Sea

spend our time looking for flawa in the system under which we live, in picking at personallties. The open line radio shows are replete with citizens who complain about a neighbors dog, the mailman, the price of booze or the way a waitress wore her hair while serving the soup!

‘What teenager has never ridden in an automoblle? What. wife has ever been without cooking oll? 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.

e trouble with affluence is that it tends to blurr our perspectives, Rather than ap- preciating our standard of Iving, we take it asa divine right and look upon it as the norm, + Unfortunately, history points up that this attitude containa the seeds of its ‘own destruction and destroys a nation as surely as does the man who indulges his appetites without restraint,

Answer:

Many couples are request- ing tuba! ligation ‘(for the woman), or vasectomy (for the man), to control conception. Both are very effective, with a negligible failure rate.

Vasectomy ia the more minor procedure, and {s done as a ‘day-caro” case in hospital, or sornelimee in’ the doctor's’ of-

Their entry, ‘utled Tnven- tion’ Workshops: Children. Search for a Better Mousetrap, ‘won the top award “in recogni- tion of significant contribution to the advancement and im- provement of science educa- tion.”

“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.

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

“There are too many con- ventional teachers, Creativity spurs on creativity. By doing the sort of things we are suggesting teachers become exelted and, in turn, their kids become excited. Ideas are con- tagious. They ride piggy-back ‘on one another.”

Mr. Doi's path to success,

however, wasn't an easy Toad.

He missed the start of the new year and dropped out.

“It was winter and I was working the graveyard shift, from midnight until 7 a.m.

“T think it was the coldest winter they had ever had. Often it was 16 or 20 below zero,” he says.

“It gave me a chance to do a lot of thinking about the. future. You start to. question things about yourself. ‘What are you doing? What do you want to do?’

“I knew I wanted to go to university, rather than do ‘another year in college and 1 decided to move to Vancouver.”

He enrolled in an ele- mentary science education course and met Mr. McCor-

. his teacher. - +

“I didn't think education was my bag. It was only when I

it into’ a course like Alan's, which really turned me on, that I found myself.”

The guidance helped Mr. Do}. 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 fs 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 30 feet. Many of them could, and did.

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

It is-most important to reallze 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- quently {perhaps usually) un- successful,-and seldom at- tempted.

There is little to choose between the two operations, ‘Tubal ligation is effective im- mediately, while it requires about two months for the man’s “sperm-bank" to empty, one or two sperm analyses must be done to nae that he is indeed sterile.
