lha collector of ochool taxes will have moved out of town to in office at queen i park and citlxena will likely lose much of the limited control they now maintain or should maintain through jthe people they elect to local school boards j the cost of education gets iti annual publicity in most centres around budget jtime whan councils who have no real con trol over the budget submitted by school boards ere faced with including an annually increasing figure in their budgets the coun ell efforts to cut here and there are often frustrated when education budgets lake up all the possible increase we re not arguing that education ii cheap construction coils debenture dli counts climbing enrollments and increasing teachers salaries all contribute to higher budgets ratepayers will not be relieved of the cost of education if those costs are trans ferred to the province it would simply mean that the province would seek new taxation fields and in these the adminlslra tion costs might become evsn greater the province will not take over the com plete cost without taking over a much lar ger share of control as citizens we should hesitate to transfer that control lest we lose completely alt vestiges of municipal autonomy and appoint a new master of our own dost in mt inaccessible and bound in red tape charity first please so they ve opened a baiement fallout shelter near the parliament buildings in queen s park now like good citizens were supposed to sweat a bunch of cement blocks into our basement turn into a mason and build one prime minister dtefenbaker recommends iit the hon a kelso roberts attorney general for ontario at the opening of the shelter says he intends to proceed with the construction of one in his own home and the cost is only 300 to 500 now few whi argue that 300 to 500 is a high price for life itself but the past his liory of civil defense has seen so many tcnanjges end so much indecision that we would hesitate to build anything until we were sure a new idea wasn t on the drawing boards for is years there has been an uneasi and for almost that long different levels of government have passed the buck and experts have changed their minds early jtha year we watched a film detailing the evacuation of a city withdrawal of govern menl and essential service admmistralion to an expensivelyconstructed mountain shelter now we re told evaculion isn l the answer for residents of that city the chang ed theory must have been an expensive lesson right here in halton we asked the county civil defense coordinator what would hap pen if a nuclear explosion took place in toronto or hamilton there is no clear cut plan yet we might indeed be faced with streams of city dwellers seeking refuge if they got the warning in time civil defense is not a ridiculous topic surely it is time for the man on the street to be given some intelligent reasonable and concrete ideas on how he and his family might survive a fall out shelter will be of little help if hes at work his children are at school and his wife is down town shopping how do they get together in their shelter in deed how are they warned they should if there are now some clear cut proposals on civil defense they should be earned to the people but is there such a thing as a clear cut proposal self help isnt it amazing how as individuals and jproups we can manage to put things m a jtountry out of kilter and then call on rgovernrnent to fix tt up indeed demand they fix it up take unemployment for instance were jtll objecting to this business of foreign im jports in cars clothing and dozens of other fields while at the same time as consumers jwe buy by price and that means we buy the imports as opposed to the home made pro- sjjluct theres a big argument that our cost of jabor in this country has contributed largely jo the higher price of canadianmade articles ve know sufficiently little about economics tfeo think that is largely the case naturally when the market for the cena jjfianmade goods drops not only in the rest fff the world but among ourselves too it jtyvon t take as many people lo keep us all ihatisfied if wages are the big factor and if we are tell as genuinely concerned about unemploy iment as we are led to believe and if we place the entire problem at the feet of government for a solution as we usually do would we be prepared to accept a drastic solution supposing government said tomor row alt wages and salaries in the country will go back to a 1950 level and will be frozen there what would happpen well of course it would take a whole new government de partment to look after the thing those who saved money would be wealthy those who had unfortunately had to buy a ihouse with a mortgage would have one awful time meeting the higher proportionately pay ments there would be a great cry about reducing the standard of living those with large inventories of consumer goods would probably go bankrupt governments can hardly be expected to get us out of all our self made difficulties we undoubtedly won t reduce our standard of living but perhaps we might develop a little more loyalty to our own products per haps we should wonder what government can do that we couldn t do for ourselves new skills for old i there are several reasons why unem jployment remains stubbornly and uncom- jjortably high but without a doubt a high proportion of those out of a ob for any length of time stay jobless either because jhey are unskilled or because demand for heir particular skill is not what it was at the same time employers newspaper advertisements and national employment service bulletins emphasize the fact that there re other skills which areand have been for home time very much in demand clearly what it needed is a much more ambitious nergettc and nation wide program of ob and -re- than anything we jiavt yet attempted in canada little belgium as the labor gazette re cently pointed out is one country which has shown what can be done she has retained more than 25000 unemployed persons over the past 15 years and over the same period has developed her training program to the point where it is joday one of the most advanced in the free world training centres are located m various parts of the country these operate withm the framework of a highly flexible framing system that adapts the kinds of trades taught to the nation s economic needs as forecast by a manpower studies unit length of an average course is five to eight months but this is shortened where possible there would seem to be no reason why
