' QA THE OSHAWA Term, Wednesday, September 2, 1964 Choose a Career Early, Wisely Because the choice of a car- eer is so important, it is one that should be made _intelli- gently, with a great deal of time, thought and effort on the part of students, well in ad- vance of. their entry into the business or professional world, well before gyaduation. : Unfortunately, too often stu- dents choose a profession for the wrong reason. . . ." some- times they are forced into a particular field through par- ental pressure, Often such per- sons prove.a success in that field, but they can never be completely happy because their' pattern of interest is suited) © to' other work. Sometimes a students' ambitions will exceed his abilities and he will either faii or only be a moderate suc- céss to his profession, whereas he: might have done better in a less taxing field. Often personality, rather than intelligence is the. guide- line to the right career. Thus a person who is a_ successful salesman may be a total fail- ure as a sales manager simply becausé his personality is not suited to that type of work. Fortunately, today students can avail themselves of psy- chological and aptitude tests such as those given at voca- tional guidance centres to learn for which occupation they are best, suited. Eyes Right For School? About four million young Americans will be entering schoo] for the first time this year. The child with impaired vision may have learning diffi- culties as a result of classroom failures. The Better Vision Institute has recommended a professiun- al eye examination for all pre- school children, even as young as: three. And The BVI points out that a defect in vision which could have been easily reme- died in an early test may de- velop into a serious problem handicapping for years. - By observing the child's eyes, noting suspicious things in his behavior and watching his de- velopmental activities closely, an alert parent may be able to detect eye trouble that can be corrected long before the child must learn to read, Signs of trouble that merit futther investigation include red, encrusted or swollen eye- lids with recurring sties; in- flamed and watery eyes. : Frowning and squinting when looking at distant objects, should be taken by parents as trouble signs. Fluorescent Signs Save Pupils' Lives Many tragic accidents hap- pen because drivers simply don't see the school-warning signs; or they see them so late they can't stop their cars in time to avoid hitting a child. A. total of 1500 children 5-14 years old were struck and kill- ed by motor vehicles in 1962. Many more were injured. Several cities and counties, some 600, are now using eye- catching orange fluorescent school signs to grab a driver by his sense of sight and shake him ihto alertness. The material on the signs is the same as that used as mark- ings on military aircraft. A previously - financed re- search project found that a driver can see a fluorescent sign twice as far as an ordin- ary painted sign. By present indications, fluorescent school signs will be coloring practi- cally every street corner in Canada some day. Whatever the kind of signs, the old dictum still holds: Slow down. Flowers From Home Help Overcome Home-Sickness Leaving home for the first time and going to college can be a frightening experience for ' young ladies. . . . it's quite un- "= derstandable if the. unfamiliar surroundings plus meeting new ~, people make them wish they were back home again! | Thoughtful parents' can help their daughter over this period of home-sickness by wiring her an arrangement of her favorite flowers. Not only will the flow- ets remind her that your thoughts are with her and re- assure her, they will also prove a decorative addition to her room. Fresh flowers, in a_ lovely fall display of your choice, car be wired to any house' or dor- mitory in the country by Flor- ists' Telegraph Delivery to help your favorite frosh feel more at home in her new surround- ings. HELP FOR STUDENTS The youngster who leaves for school each day after having eaten a nourishing breakfast stands a better chance of be- coming a good student than the one who skips or skimps-on his meal. Parents should be careful' in encouraging their children to do well in school. The child who cannot live up to expe-'ations may develop a feeling of infer- lorjty, or may cheat.
