Does Canada need a leader who ‘will waffle on’ every decision he makes? “Yes, definitely I’m resigning, maybe,” seems to be the statement from the weekend’s activities. Are we . Supposed to applaud?:. Maybe. When Prime Minister Trudeau resigned it. was to throw the country off guard.

(CP) — An increasing number’ of unwed - mothers are keeping their babies, but that doesn’t mean they are ready for the responsibilities of parenthood, says a Calgary. counsellor. © Some teenagers do a good job of raising children with adequate support but many are: overwhelmed by the. "responsibility suddenly forced upon them, said’ Gail. Johnson, co-ordinator of counselling for the Emest Man- ning campus of the Louise Dear. School. . ; “Teenagers still have a lot of emotional growing and developing to. do,” Johnson said in ‘a recent interview. “There are some joys in parenthood but it’s an awful lot of hard work,” ' The Louise Dean School offers counselling ald education for pregnant. teenagers and young unwed mothers: Edmonton is the only other city in Alberta with a similar facility.

Johnson said a few evenings of babysitting do not’ give a young girt an appreciation of what it is like to raise a child.
