gditoip harvest time wmmrwmtr i i uumg the dropouts with so much public money helng spent on oducallon in canadafrom 1945 to i960 tho total increased from 186 million to 1426 million ihera it increasing concern over ihb problem of school dropout the youngsters who do not take full advantage of thofr educational opportunities an indi cation of the magnitude of the pouern it the recent statement of ontario bevjcetlon minister john robarts that n his province of overy 100 pupils who enrolled in qrede 9 in soplember 1956 only 35 reached grade 13 in september 1960 another sig nificant statistic is that for the whole of can ada only half of thoa who enter grade school parry on to enter high school in an etlempt to sort out the reasons why so many boys and girls leave tchooi tho atkinson foundation of toronto hi re cently financed a study made by st cht- ophor house a social service orgviliatlon that operales in the midtown section of tor onto it is interesting that a preliminary re porj on this survey published in the toron to star makes no mention at all of economic reasons as a factor in school dropxouts a contradiction of the frequont charge that many canadian children must leave school and go to work to help the family budget a few of tho dropouts were simply slow learners a few mora ware round page in i square holes youths who might have done well with trades school training but were at sea in academic courses or vice versa but the main reason why the st christ opher house teenagers dropped out of school wat found to be just plain boredom and apparently the chief cause of this lack of interest in education lies not in the school system or with the teachers but in the at titude of parents the newspaper story puts it this way when the majority of young sters who felt they could go no further were asked what they thought they were qualified for most of them said unskilled labor fac tory work car washing shipping etc about 75 percent of those who drop out of school and find a ois either on their own initiative or through the national employment service say they enjoy working but would like lo get further training a significant factor here it that a good percentage of parents are in different as to whether their son or daughter works or stays in school perhaps a good point on which to con clude is the remark of some anonymous sage to the effect that those who ask where the younger generation is going should consider where it came from business slower if business grinds to a slower pace this wookond it wont be surprising we can im agine that merchants will put in one of their busiest weekends and be no further ahead financially actually this is the weekend the new provincial sales tax gets its baptism in on tario what day does it start well we really arent sure most of the literature seems to say the tax goes into effect after september 1 and that would be september 2 but don t take our word for it then too the merchants will have to be a lillle snore adept at figuring what three por cent of everything is and consulting a chart to bo sure they hove the right an swer of course customers will be eyeing it all carefully too to be sure they arent pay ing unnecessary tax there may be the odd thopper that will want to pay individually for hems under 17 cents to avoid paying the tax on a to il grocery or similar order and if dad takes the family out to din- ner hell naturally want separate checks from the waitress for the meals under 1 50 to avoid paying the tax hell want the same treatment when he has his car repaired the labor will have to be separate from the parts at tax is paid only on parts if the pace of business slows this week end it will be ustjfied and if you see mer chants with their heads buried in a book of regulations and a little slow to answer de tailed questions don t be surprised quite seriously of course the tax cannot be avoided it may be cumbersome it may be obnoxious and it may fray tempers but when youre looking arourid for someone whom to vent your wrath look inward at just what you expect government to do for you if you expect government to give more grants and spond more money ust remember every cent government gets it gelt from you and the sales tax is only one way of getting it no we don t like it either another holiday monday is labor day it is o day that has been introduced as a holiday to honor the workingrnan like many holidays we now mark there seems to be no effort to attach any partic ular significance to it undoubtedly its in troduction in 1884 was hailed as an op portunity for parades and other displays of goodwill to workingmen today the holiday seems lo find its only- area sginificance in a long weekend and a chance for many to attend the canadian na tional exhibition where labor it honored much the same situation exists with civic holiday dominion day and the old empire day actually labor has a history it should be anxious to recall lrom the dartc days of the industrial revolution in england to these enlightened times the workingrnan has gained new status and benefits a day of 16 hours was not uncommon as the in dustrial devolution gained momentum it wasn t until 1833 that children under 13 were limited to an eight hour day legisla tion in the u s in 1938 recognized 40 hours as the maximum ordinary work week today about 6z million people make up the nation s labor force by some generahz ed mathematics that gives halton a work force of about 34 000 the equivalent of the county s total population at the midway point of the decade labor is entitled to the significance it receives from a special holiday but if hoh days are to have any particular importance other than the day before school starts the last holiday of the summer and the day we closeup the cottage ihose re sponsible will have to get their message across each year a long weekend one person will be killed on canadian highways every hour and a half this labor day weekend if last year s record is dupli cated the last long weekend this will b the most dangerous according toth records these safely suggestions which are particu larly valuable to those contemplating long trips over the holiday weekend 1 take long trips in easy stages don t try to travel too far in any one day 2 avoid fatigue by stopping often for coffee or by changing drivers 3 avoid the main traffic arteries wher ever possible 4 if you are tired but cant stop over night pull to the side of the road and cat nap until you are rested 5 when travelling with children take plenty of books and quiet games so they will not create noisy distractions for the driver 6 study in advance the different dnv ing rules of strange cities where you may be driving 7 if you have a blowout or other mech anical failure continue slowly until you can pull completely off the highway 8 set out flares when making repairs on the highway at night don t block other drivers view of your car lights 9 keep your speed within safe lim ts especially on wet highways 10 when in doubt yield the right of way to the other driver the acton free press puutekad hf the mua mattag um
