rvvjaysj vkmim4u4fw away from classrooms about 25000 halton children will be going bock to choo on tuesday there is however an important percentage that wont be making the trek dozens in elemen tary or early high school years will be turn ing their backs on the classrooms to walk into the work world in many instances will go the shattered hopes of parents and relatives for whether these young people realize it or not they will be running the risk of never gelling the chance to become a successful part of cana dian industry and business about 70 per cent of the pupils enrolled in grade two in our halton schools today will leave the school system before receiving their junior matriculation in many cases ill equipped to compete for anything but the unskilled and somi skilled typos of employ ment an examination of occupations in canada provides a pretty clear indication of the pro blem about 70 per cent of the obs avail able in this country are of a professional semt professional technical or skilled nature and only 30 per cent of employment con sists of semiskilled or unskilled occupations we require a basic change irt our think ing for the deplorable dropout rate must reflect the fact that we adults are not yet convinced of the desirability or necessity of advanced education what was adequate yesterday in the way of education is becom ing less and less adequate today just as our country has advanced in the past few decades so our need for more education has increased a full realization of this fact by all adults and children would surely bring about a much needed change in social attitudes the solution to the school drop out pro blem rests with every canadian the greatest show the floss candy makers are busily dis pensing their mouth melting delicacy

another holiday monday is labor day it is a day that has been introduced as a holiday to honor the workmgman like many holidays we now mark there seems to be no effort to attach any parti cular significance to it undoubtedly its in troduction in 1884 was hailed as an op portunily for parades and other displays of goodwill to workingmen today the holiday seems to find its only area significance in a long weekend and a chance for many to attend the canadian na ttonal exhibition where labor is honored much the same situation exists with civic holiday dominion day and the old empire day actually labor has a history it shoud be anxious to recall from the dark days of the industrial revolution m enqland to these enlightened times the workinqman a very real problem there is an ominous note in recent un employment figures released omtly by the department of labor and bureau of stat st cs it shows 31 1 000 unemployed in july an increase over last year of 83 000 the report
