Georgetown Herald A Division of Horn Newspapers Company Limited Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER C BIEHN Publisher THURSDAY JUNE 1971 EDITORIAL COMMENT Estimate Trees Value Georgetown council Is to be com mended on Interest tree and saving existing trees might otherwise disappear before their life span With this part of Ontario denuded of because of the Dutch elm scour ge it becomes even more important to have our maples which with the elms are among natures most lovely assets Council initiated action with a com mittee discussion with a tree expert who ways that council end Individual citizens could cooperate at reasonable No Golden Key A university education once con sidered a golden key to a young per sons future is no longer an entrance to the promised and If one con believe the stories one reads the daily newspapers end what gossip one picks up from indivi duals It can be a disadvantage at least temporarily Take the case of public school tea chers entering the profession a B A degree An economy wave particular ly in the precludes hiring and the young hopeful it caught hi a squeeze for the teachers federation will not al low the teacher to accept ess than the salary which a commands And the school board not pay this extra Graduates seeking to enter other professions ere caught toy the law of supply end demand Even those with specialized training nnd they are com peting in fields where are more applicants than lobs Perhaps we have overstressed a cost to keep the town s maples healthy A stumbling block year is fin- Councils tree budget has been expended already If money cannot be found for a 1971 program it would have to wait for another perhaps some organization would cooperate and head up a campaign to provide the funds In our opinion trees perhaps more than roads One can get by with a second class road But a tree Is a tree You either have it or you dont And it dies it takes a generation or two to replace university education at the expense of the trades training for which is offered high school and as apprentices In There seems to be confusion among young people themselves about why they go to university In our day it was to fit for a profession or for a business career Todays philos ophy appears to be that it to train for any specific vocation and that a univerarty course is cultural This was the original concept of in the old country but hero is a difference Then only the children of wealthy families attended ami there was no intent that they would look for work afterwards Correcting the imbalance will take time and todays graduates are caught In of an era of change Some of them will have to take jobs which pay less and have less challenge ihan they think they are equipped for But as has always been those with real will find their mark providing they are satisfied to near the bottom HAVE PATIENCE WILLIAM TELL WILL GET IT YET Bill Shares Some Birthday Secrets Not Too Way Out Some university with the do your own thing philosophy are perhaps putting en extra obstacle their search for positions If one learns else at school It should be that our world is essential ly conformist and that an employer jud ges an employee by looks as well as ability Styles change and wmle extremi ties In styles are better accepted today ever before the employer is still the f udge If he your looks he wont hire you Some of today s young people have confused casual wear with There is nothing attractive about young men unkempt hair dirty jeans bare fee Nor do pretty young girls enhance their appearance wth patched blue jeans heir hanging over their eyes Mannish style jackets The fault lies more with parents than with the youngsters And one cant blame the high school authorities If they throw up thaw hands parents aren prepared to set a few ground rules When it comes college time die is cast end its too late Institutes of higher learning have never bothered about rules of dress The day of reckoning comes later The world has its own rules and job hunters can protest gripe but to no avail The old adage still ap plies The man who pays the piper calls the tune When you are Little birth days are great days There ore gifts in fancy wrappings to be ripped open without even looking to see whom they are from There Is cake and can dles and ice cream and a general feeling that you at least for a day are Number One
