Dear C.K.: Live and learn, the saying goes. Just last week I learned something new— new to me, at least I was present at a meeting of Gamblers An- onymous, and. their’ wives, in my town.

In a@ preliminary social half- 4 the founder and_leader of | the: group, a Y present, reviewed for my in- formation the history of how | they got together and licked the gambling habit.

Another guest (besides me) | was a gambler still trying to | decide whether he wants to be cured, It seems he has been to | these meetings several times, courting help but not quite ready, as yet, to embrace it.

When the group was ready to | get down to business, the gamb- | lers repaif<to one room and their wives to another— in the social hall of a big church... While the wives shared with me their weekly program of soul- stretching exercises, the men pursued their own discussion in stag privacy down the hall.

hall. The Farm Forum broadcast on technical education was

listened to with interest, and a discussion followed, chaired by Mrs. Harold MacLeod. Mrs.

ary filled im the questionnaire. |

The meeting was critical of the verbosity of the content of sev-

text books which makes it dif- ficult for the average students to meet the high standard set for them before they can qual- ify for a technical or vocation- al course. They become dis- couraged trying to further their
