Today, however, ,]Itter haï grown wlth the enormous in- :.crese in urban population, the stili ,greater increase in automobiles and .hlghways made possible by an affluent 'society, and above ail by a virtual revolution in packaging which now en- closes almost every single item sold in *thraw-away wrapper, into a menace which affects the purse, the comi art and the safety of every ane at every level ai our society. - Nowherc is it more -seriaus than in "the resort areas, where large numbers of people are living or travelling away from home and their normal domestic ,routlnes. People who consume large quantities af soft drinks or beer, pur- chased ini môme town which they do .mot lntend ta re-visit, are hardly likely la return the bottles for the trifling amount of the deposit; much casier simply to tous the empties out of the car window as they speed along. The resultant broken glass - and it amounts ta a surprisingly heavy deposit along city streets as well as an rural high- ways - is a dreadful menace to the tires af automobiles and to the feet oi pedestrians, ta say nothing of dogs and ather pets. Glass from broken bat- tles undoubtcdly constitutes the single greatest hazard ta life and limb caused :e and A Menace by the littcrbug. Yet the relative indcstructibility of modern litter is not confined ta glans. Metal beverage cana, candy foul, plastic drinking cups, all are virtually unaf- fected by the elements, and thus outiast in nuisance value the ubiquitous facial tissue, which marks the spoor of modern motorizcd mankind. It is uignificant that scicntists descending into the depths of the Marianna trench, dcepest part ai the Pacific Ocean, faund on a plateau seven thousand feet bcneath the surface af the sea - a beer bottle. What can be donc about this pig- like practice which is befouling both town and country alike?-ContraIs over packaging materials is anc possibility, but hardly feasible; tightcr supervision and stiffer penalties for litterbugs would certainly seem mare workable. But perhaps the best approach is in- dicated by one significant fact; the worst litterbugs, by a big margin, arc children and adolescents, particularly the latter. Mastly this is because the teenager consumes marc than an aver- age amount of beverages in bottles and cans, candy and confections in wrap- pers, cigarettes in boxes and foul, and tissue by the ton. He is also by inclina- tion likely ta be heedless and untidy in his habits. making him undisputed king ai the litterbugs. If the young are prime affenders, might they not also represent the chief hope for change? Could we flot tcach in every achool the danger and despol- iation of littering, so that youth can sec for itself the nature of the disease, and at the same time appreciate the ease with which it can be cured? -The Daily Packet and Times, Orillia Ini 1940, the Unemployment Insur- ance Act created a Commission ta ad- niiniÉter a national unemployment insurance plan and ta operate a national cmployment service. During the next year, a country-wide network ai local offices was established by the Commis- sion ta conduct its aperations. Howevcr, ln 1942, when the National Selective Service Regulations were passed, the Dcpartment ai Labor became respon- sible for administration ai bath staff and premises ai the Commission for the duration ai Warld War II. Local offices became known as National Selective Service offices. In 1945 thc local offices were re- turned ta the administration ai the UJnempleymentê,Ineuvmuce Commission and they took on the dual name ai Unemployment Insurance Commission/ National Employmçnt Service. For the next 20.years this identity was retained and during this time the emplayment service function ai the local office stea- dily, gainied in importance as technola- gicil change and the increasing com- plexity oi the labor market resulted in greater and greater demanda on it. In rçcagnition ai the çhanges being wrought, a Committee of Inquiry into the. Uncmplayment Insurance Act was *appointed on July 17, 1961, under the Chairmanship ai Ernest C. Gill. In Navember, 1962, the Gui Committee inade its report and anc ai its recom- inendations was that the National Em-, .ployment Service should be transferred Unknowingly, many people in pity, curiosity or kindncss, become execut- loners of young wiidiife.

On April 1. 1965, the National Employment Service again became the responsibility ai the Department ai Labor and immediate efforts were made ta separate the employment function from the insurance function in the local office. However, further charges were in store and in December 1965, exten- sive re-alignments ai Departmental re- sponsibilities were introduced; out af this re-alignment was ta corne a new Department ai Manpower and Immigra- tion. On January 1, 1966, the local em- ployment offices became a part ai the Department ai Citizenship and Immi- gration until such time as the new De-_ partment could be created. A new Manpower administration was quickiy evolved and the appoin- ment ai local employment service man- agers, as distinct from unemployment insurance office managers, was pursued vigorously. In addition, higher salary scales for qualified local office staff were put into effect and arrangements made- for additional staff in order to successfully iniplement plans for in- creased eniphasis on such important labor market activities as counselling, training, labor farce mobility, upgrad- ing, research, and labor market infor- mation. A very decentralized admini- stration is being evolved in order that local offices can most effectiveiy pur- sue their obpectives. eral nuisance and even dangenous, ln adulthood. Kîndness ta young wiidlife may unwittingly cause a quickened death; indecd many young animals have had their death warrants signed by pitying campers or hikers. Besides the banni donc to young animals thnough contact in the wilds, there is aiso the danger ai cantnact- ing rabies froni the animal, even thought it may appear friendly. If, while camping this summen, you came across a young animal ap- parently abandoncd, before you pet it or pick it up, think whether the pleasure ai touching it is worth the consequences it may suifer.

MEMORIL HOSPITAL WEEKLY REPORT For the week ai October 17-23 inclusive: Admissions -- 72 Binths, 3 maie, 5 icroale.. 8 Dlscharges -- ---------- 84 Major operations 13 Minor operations---27 Emergeriey treatmentà . 21 Visiting houri3-8 P.m. daily. Sugar John James Greene is the first federal Minister af Agriculture f rani eastern Canada since 1911. The nick- name "Joe" was acquired at public school and it stuck with bum ever since. Joe Greene was a classmate ai mine at Osgaode Hall. I was calied ta the bar in 1949 and he graduated one year later. He first came inta political prom- inence in 1958 when he contested the leadership ai the Ontario Liberal Party. I was at that Convention and recal that Joe Greene . .. ta that point palit- icaliy unknown . . . alniost swept ta victory on the crest af an emotionaliy charged speech delivered the day bel are the vating. The total cost af Jae Greene's 1958 campaign for the Liberal leadership was $1.38 for the purchase ai green ribbon and straight pins. Strips ai the ribbon were pinned on the Greene supporters. He saved money by bring- ing the scissors froni home! After high schoi Joe was employ- ed in the mining country ai northern Ontaria until 1941 when he enlîsted in the R.C.A.F. Serving overseas with the Fighter Command ai the R.C.A.F. Mr. Greene was .mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Runnîng a business probably neyer was easy, says a Montreai business leader, but today it is a more difficuit and thankless task than ever before. And. he submits, as we make it more difficuit for management ta manage, everybody loses. Our grievaus error, Mr. F. R. Dan- ieis angued in bis provacative talk, is that we sepanate two inseparables - rights and responsibilîties. "Manage- nment obviously bas its responsibility ta the investors wba make ail business possible," stated the board chairman ai the Dominion Textile Company. "It bas a responsibility ta earn a profit. It bas the responsibilîty ai using that profit ta maintain its own bealth and corn- petitive position so that it can go an being productive. "There arc parailel responsibilities - the pnoviding ai jobs, the paying ai wagcs, and taxes and the general pump- ing aifnioncy into the social biaod- streani. The suggestion that these con- stitute a moral demand upon business cornes usualiy frorn individuals wha have neyer faced the difiiculty ai meet- ing a paynoll, on a bank boan.- If business is pooniy nun, and sufiens lasses rather than makes profits, the community suf fers. "Managers ai Canadian enterpnises ai ail sizes anc constantly ncminded ai this so-cailed 'responsibility.' We are told that the nation caunts on us ta provide mare and more jobs, ta increase aour productivity, ta fight off foreign con'petition in aur domcstic mnarket thraugh new efficiencies and ta win greater sales in export miarkets. Few Joe Greene is a homey type afi feliow who extidez a log cabin philasa. I pby. Hie las aiten been compared witi Abrahami Lincoln and, indeed, daes nr discourage such comparisons. One 0I the best oratars in the House ai Coni- mons, Mr. Greene laces bis remarks liberally with homespun humor. As a Member interested in Agricul- ture I have been assoclated with Joe Greene and have travelled with hlm on occasions where he bas addressed agricultural graups. He is fluently bilingual and believes that Canada's greatness can anly be achieved if we rem.ain united and strong. The record ai legisiative achieve,11 ments in the agriculture portfolio since Joe Greene took over the ministry nin: months ago bas been very impressvj I doubt that it bas ever been equailed S by ahy Minister ai Agriculture in Can- ada's history. There are sanie wbo say Joe Greene wili be a contender for thei leadership ai the Liberal Party in Can- ada when Prime Minister Pearson resigns. At 46 years ai age Mr. Greene might like ta have a iew more years experience. I would think, however, that when the tume rails around the Minister ai Agriculture will be in the centre ai the action. businessmen shirk the challenge, or the apportunity. But thene are those who demand the night ta share in the resuit ai the effort. There is govemnment with its tax load, which is increased by ever- wider social measunes and there is labor which speaks mosiy in ternis ai 'rights.' "Thene is a great deai ai taik about management's responsibiiity to the coni- munity, ta labor and to saciety at large. But very little talk about man- agement rights. Conversely, thene is a constant running cammentany about the nigbts ai the state, ai saciety and ai labor, witb preciaus littie conccnn for the respansibilities that go hand in band witb nights. This bas been the subtle change in the envirannient in which management is expected ta man- age these days. Responsibility and rights have been divorced in thc minds ai too many individuals. They cannot, in reaiity, be divorced at ail." Mn. Daniels makes sense. Politi- cians count on gaining popuîarity (and power) witb promises ta spend more, money. Union leaders count on gainn- popularity (and power) with pramiscp to win more money for their member- sbips. But the money bas ta came out af productive and profitable - that is, wel managed - business enterprise. On their own, neithen politiclans non union leaders can make the ecanomy prospen. Management, bard warking and canscientiaus, lu the most Import- ant element. When we insist tilat man- agement bas responsibilitiep but no rights, everybody loues. -The. Clip Sheui and ipicej By Bill Smiley HEBE GOES NOTJIING Ever try to think, let alone write, whcn your nase is dripping like a tap in a tenenient, you are barking up chunka of lung, your body is crawling with hot and cold needies, and you could fry an egg on your forehead? Yep. I've got the flu. Don't worry, I won't go on about it. Every virile, red-blooded Canadian knows ail about the f lu. But don't expect a sparkling column this week. Along with those symptoms, my braîn is about as agile as a basketful of wet kleenex. But, by golly, tonight is the night of the staff party, and I'm going if it kilîs nme. If this space is blank next week, with a black border'around it, don't send flowers. Just send the equiv- aient in cash ta my wife. Flowers aren't niuch use ta a good-looking widaw with two kids ta educate. And don't grieve or sing sad sangs. Just muse, "Well, he went the way he always wanted ta go, smelling strong af Dr. Walker's cough syrup and danc- ing what he thought was the Watusi with the smashing young blonde who just joined the English Department." But that doesn't'salve the problemn of writing this column, does it? Well, 1'm going ta swing in ail directions, so, if you aren't a swinger, you can stop reading this and turn to the groccry ads, which are about the nost exciting and frustrating reading you can find these days. Speaking of which, did you ever see such prices? I don't know who is packeting the loot - farmer, middle- man or retailer - but they won't even let you belly up ta the meat counter' these days unless you flash a -bar ai gold bullion. Wedding anniversaries. I bought 20 yellow roses for my wife an aur twen- tieth anniversary.' She squealed with ecstasy. It was very romantic, especial- ly when I tald her I'd paid for them with a cheque on aur joint account. But these littie romantic gestures really pay off. Three days later, for no better reason than that a tap in the bathroom bhas been dripping for sixc weeks, she yanked the fading flowers out of the vase, beat me around the face and cars with them, thorns and ail, an>d huried the rosewater over me. I came up smelling like a Yellow rose and she came up ta the bathroom, help- cd me wash off the blood, and fixed the tap herself. Teenage girls. Somebody sent nie a London, Ont., paper for teens. One calumnist, obviousiy a girl, was sound- ing off, in disgust-with her sisters. This was ber pungent observation: "Today's young female goes kookie aver sanie- thing that walks around in high heels,' tight pants and long locks of hair hang- ing ta its shoulders. Girls today are robbed af their sex in more ways than one." Ain't she right? Strikes. 1 have always been a union man, but 1 amn ted up, right to thc cars, with the arrogance, thc lawlcssncss, and the refusal to compromise display. cd by many unions this ycar. How about you? Leaders. The perennial game called "Dump Dief" is popular again. I think he should have retired, ful af years, honors, and malarkey, long since. But I can't help admiring the aid wolf as the pack tries ta drag hlm down. He is a fighter, and there aren't many left. Advertising. I don't agree with theý speaker, but I found the following, coning iromn a big advertising man, the most refreshing statement I've read for many a day: "The simple truth is that people don't give a damn about advertising. They neyer have and they neyer wil ...People don't care about advertising, they care about things. "They care about things that niake them happy or beautiful or fat or sober or drunk or alive or hunian; things that entertain theni, transport theni, enrich theni, protect theni or profit them. But they don't give a tuppenny danin about ads." A melancholy picture ai the humanti race. Do you agree? Man-Power Centre Report from Ottawa By Russell C. Honey, M.P.
