Education With Terry Hawkins Every once in a wbile I bear about people wbo bave gone to university and graduated witb a B.A. or B.Sc.. degree nd then can't find a job. Many people react t tis situation in a concerned manner, but is it really as serlous as it sounds? I tbink it's unfortunate if a person does all that studying and can't find ia job, but before one despairs let's' look at a cou ple of ideas. i Thbe first idea concerps expectations. Should a person really expect to find a !job after ob taining their Bache- lors degree? If one looks back mnto the bistory of education, tbey will soon note that a Bachelor level degree rarely involved a job training pro- cess. Historically the Bache- lor-degree was the learning level of study, the Masters degree the teacbing level and the Doctoral degree was the development and research level. The simple fact is the B.A., B.Sc. and similar Bachelor level degrees give a student a general education. That was it's purpose in the past and as far as I can see that purpose bas remained uncbanged to-day. The degree does not prepare a person for a job. t is not a career course. Wbat it does is give a studen t a liberal education base, upon wflicb to build aciclitional training wbich in turn may lead to a career. t is very easy to understand why some young people migbt have an unreal career expec- tation concerning the Bache- lors degree. For quite a few years, since the late 1940's until the mid 1960's; most university graduates obtained jobs. Thousands of people went directly from graduation with a Bachelors degree into good employment. Any young person witnessing this process could reasonably conclude that bis Bachelors degree would also lead to employ- ment. However if one looks at the overaîl situation during this 1945 - 1965 period it can be noted that the demands for employees at aIl educational levels were periodically very great. I remember personnel. managers from industry coming to the High School in the 1960's and lining up to interview grade 12 graduating students. But those times are gone and one bas to adjust one's expectations. If a person does not expect to get a job after graduating witb a Bachelors degree, then how deligbted he will be if be getsa lucky break and does in fact find one. However the realization that bis degree is SUBARU CANADA'S BEST VALUE JAPANESE IMPORT *RADIAL STEEL TIRES .AM RADIO . MAP LIGHT *TINTED GLASS . ýRECLINING BUCKET SEATS * VINYL SEATS .

OSHAWA 728-0181 J the basis for future career training will resuit in a realistie expectation, and bead off disappointment. If one looks upon the situation in this manner even the deci- sions about which subjeets to take at university becomes less critical. One cannot choose the subjeets with total abandonment, but ail kinds of subjects provide a base for future training. Studying bis- tory does flot mean one bas to be a historian. It's n broad basis for law, journalism, sales teaching, library work and a host of other careers for which one needs additional training., Looking at the career first and working back to a subject choice we see the samne pattern. If one. wanted to enter the career of journalismn, the study of a range of courses such as English, History, Political Science and Psychology would ail be useful. 0f even greater benefit is the fact that one does not have to commit oneseif to the career decision until the Bachelors degréee bas been obtaîned. This allows for a change of career at the last minute without any, great losses in time or energy. Not a bad position to be in when the opportunities in career fields fluctuate as mucb as they do in our worldto-day.

At the first sign of winter many people rush for the easy chair and the T.V. set, venturing outdoors only to go to work or take out the garbage. But for Merlin Slute, winter may just be bis bugiest season. Merlin is a retired Bow- manville school principal wbose love for learning keeps him busy around the dlock. When be's not speaking at senior citizen's clubs you'Il find himý teaching children's art at the Visual Arts Centre- or catching up on bis painting. Since June 1977, wben be retired after 23 years as principal of Ontario* Street Public School, Merlin bas bad more time to develop bis many interests. Painting, tax- idermy, Canadian history, ornamental welding and hort- iculture are only a few. "I've been dabbling in painting since I was a child" says Merlin, "Now that I've retired I bave more time for Like many artists of bis age Merlin is self-taught. Summer courses and a f ew night scbool classes in art have enricbed bis understanding of the various media. Dispiayed Here His 'dabblîngs' are current- ly on display at Bowmanville library. Although he prefers working in oils., most of the paintings on exhibit in the library are watercolors. Visitors to the library will notice bow varied bis style is. The reason for the New Facilities Will Upgrade Heavy Water Ontario Hydro will more than triple the capacity of its heavy water upgrading facili- ties iocated at Pickering generating station east of Toronto, Chairman Robert Taylor bas announced. The facility is used to restore beavy water wbicb is diluted by ordinary water in the nuclear generation pro- cess, to the required 99.8 per cent concentration. " The present upgrading Plant at Pickering, wbîch services nîl our nuclear units, can produce 80 kilograms (about 16 gallons) per bour," says Mr. Taylor. "When the addition is completed in 1981, the capacity will be increased to 300 kilograms an bour." Mr. Taylor said the addi- tion, whicb will cost about $23 million, is needed to serve new reactors under construction at Pickering and at the Bruce nuclear development. Hydro staff will construct, commission and manage the project, whicb will be'design- ed by Lummus Company of Canada. Lummus was responsible for the present upgradig unit ;d -C eri OBITUARY GLADYS MARRATTA BROWN The deatb occurred on Friday, November l7tb, 1978 in Oshawa General Hospital, of Gladys Marratta Brown, aged 76.

But the real experiments, bis wîld abstracts, are bidden' away in the basement because as be says, "Nobody seems to like them but me." Works From Sketches Witb the exception of a few pen and ink drawings ail of Merlin's paintings are land- scapes. Dotted among the pastoral scenes of farmland and flowing brooks are -a number-of winter iandscapes. For eacb of these be bas gone out in the dead of winter to sketch or do a preliminary Paiting of the scene. "I'n don't like painting from a slide or a picture", says Merlin. Although he paints a num- ber of local scences, the majority of the sketches are taken from around the Ban- croft area, wbicb is the bometown of bis wife, Emily. Tastes Change Over the years bis taste for, certainsubjects and bis use ofi various colors bas changed. Painters, like most other people, go througb phases, says Merlin. Most of the work be bas done in the last few montbs bas been in watercol- ors. Even within such a short time span bis taste for color and tonal values bas cbanged from the multi-colored straigbt from the tube of paint pastoral scene to a one color landscape. "éIt is surprising bow' your taste for color changes over the years," be says. In watercolor a lot of results are acbieved by accident believes Merlin. For this reason he prefers to work in oils because be can control the paint better. Even after an oul painting bas been finisbed the painter can always add or change a few details, he says. Between teaching Canadian history to Senior cîtizens, art to cbildren, stuffing fish and learning to paint, Merlin's days are busy ones - so busy that bis wife Emily comment- ed, "I only wish he had more time to do odd jobs at home.'" Commercial Hockey Leogue On Nov. 17 at Memorial Arena, everyone was just a littie bit disappointed in the two games tbey watcbed. In the first game it was Firth's vs. Cowan's and the final score was 9-3 in Firth's favor. Cowan's being the losers, played a very bad game in every way, but bopefully tbey will improve as the season goes on. As for Firth's tbey did everytbing well offensively and defensively. The real standout for Firtb's was a fine hockey player by the name of Jim Baker witb four big ones, along witb Cornell, Hewer, Rowe, Colwefl and M. Ormis- ton, eacb with one. In the second game of the morning it looked for a very short time like Spencer's were off and flying with a two goal lead over Frank's with goals from Glen Rice and Joe Nowlan, but then the roof felI in wben John Osborne and Scott Rudell turned tbings in FEDERALi BUSINESS DE VEiOPMEN T BANK SERVICES Government Assistanc Progmrams Information a Sess ion For Owners and Managers cf SnîaIl Businasses If you are the owner or manager of a small business or thinking of becoming one, attend a half-day information session and find out which government assistance program may suit your needs.
