Next Monday, millions of arkers in Canada have a day off ta celebrate, relax and contemplate. In the past, this has been an- occasion for arganized labor to review its gains during the Yean; for unorganized worlçers ta ponder haw they can do better; for industrialists, business- mnen, professional and amnatur econamists ta wrondeÉ where it xiii end; an-d for farm- ers ta depiore their unfavonable position -1-while harvesting their crops instead of hoiidayîng. in this ares, as we approach Libor Day, General Motors of Oshawa, a large employer of labor from Bowmanville and Durhamn Countv, once again is experiene- ing contract difficuities with the United 'Auto- Workers' Union rcpresenting its ~empioyees. As this is being written, -negotiations have braken off and xve, along - with every other interested persan, hope they xil have been resurncd before this appears in print. Wc don't believe any one wants a castly strike. We have no intention ofparticipating -in1 this particular dispute. Labor-inanage- *ment relations in large companies have reaclîed the point of specialization whcre anyonle un trained should hesitate before becorning in voived. WTe. of course, have opinions on suc-h subjec-ts as the gugran- teed annual xvage and can see cansiderable mentin ny o thse security àches if Next week, students al aver Canada wiil be returning ta school ta resurne their studies. New courses and ncw textbooks wvill be put ta use as aur rnethods of teach- ing progress.

As we understand this radical approacbh, the sp(?nsor's--are atteri-ptîng ta overcorne an eid prab lern. You'll recal the story about the lad who was asked: "If John had six appies, etc." and couldn't do the probiern because he'd alxvays work- -èd with pears.

Organ-ized labor evidently is quite capable of loaking aftei, its own affairs, but there is one group of hard-workers of particular interest ta us in this area who rnust be puzzling what their next move should be in this race-for împraved finan- cial standing. We refer to farmers, a graup 50 fre quently rnisunderstood -by every other body of citizens in the country. While 'almost everyone else's econornic position has been bettcred, they continue to face uncertainty, insecurity and lowered standards of living xith no immediate prospect of improveeret. This condition applies not only ta Canada but United States as well. Sooner or later, if the trend toward higher, wages 'and profits continues for most groups, whîle net incarne draps steadily for aur basic food producers, farmers will be forced ta follow the pattern of organizcd labor in getting together ta present a solid, aggressive, unyielding 'front to those who m ust buy their products te exist. Then. and only then, will they be able ta contrai their awn destinies and reccive returns commen- surate with thieir investment and energy cxpended.

The purpose is ta heip students understand that symbols are More important than wor-ds. The nan-rneaningful word is supposed ta help themn realize that they are deaiing with neither appies nor sioogles but withi abstract mathernatical symbois. This is cxpected ta assist scholaî-s in higher mathematics. For variety, they can also use such indefinabies as "zileh. zumsi or gerf ". Who can tell,i a few \'ears w-e may hear aur young hopefuls a skîn 'g as the 'v ponder their homework: "Dad, do votu know how rnany sloogies Joc tvould have left f he soid five "gerfs", ate anc "zurnsi" and gave three "zilches' away?"
