SMany people are criticizing the P.~resent elementary sehool systeni. Our r lder children attended a one rooni hool. We had excellent teachers, but Èith eight grades, and with children « fdIfferent learning abilies, I'mcer- lin the teachers taught under. many ýandicaps. We must accept the fact the bright- er child did well, and learned to work ~cendently, but what about the less rortuniate.-child with. a perceptual dif- ficulty, an emotional problern, a speech problem, the daydreamner, or a slow learner who no doubt was a poor reader also? Now these children are discaver- ed early, are getting extra help, and if necessary are entered into an oppor- tunity. class. A f ew years ago these children would have repeated grade after grade, and eventuafly become a school dropout. Granted our children bave long bus rides and travel many miles to school. This is a prioe we must psy if we desire to live in the countzr. gtown bas not been accustomed to deal- d mng with elections of the magnitude of L- this one, so there were long lin. ups t- at quxte a number of the polis, with gpeople forced ta stand outside the vot- leing places, waiting their turn. Fortu- *- nately, the weather was good, but at 4another election ta speed up the voting gthere should either be more poliing i places or larger fadilities such as a chools or church halls brought into *use.

So far as we are concerned, we shail continue ta inake space available ahead of time for candidates ta present their views and their qualifications in condensed fanm and in their own words. With a big siate this time, every- thing was so rushed that it was im- passible ta do everything that should have been done in the tume availabie. Our congratulations ta Clerk-Con- traiter Bob Byron wha was Returning Officer and his staff for the excellent job they did. It was Mn. Byron's first election here and he handied it weil, especially considering its complexity.

Yesterd ay be in a munarity) abject on pnincipie; others are nat interested one way or the other provided the employee con- tinues ta do bis job satisfactonily, and, understandably enough, doesný't so lack loyalty as ta "moanlight" for a corn- petitor. As for labor unions, they are reported as strongly disapproving (saps the wonker's ilitancy, so they say). Whether or nat "maanlighting" becomes you depends, obviously, on the requirements of your regular job. Some people are apparently able ta cape in- definitely with a double employment work week of between 60 and 70 hours (which, of course, would flot have sur- prised aur grandfathers).' Indeed, they came ta rely an their two pay cheques and subsequently profess ta be unable ta manage on one. Others, and they are perhaps the more numeraus, are spasmodic "m.oon- lighters," intent on saving their, addi- tional income for some specific purpose. Their objective attained, they quit the part-tme job - sometimes. Ail in ail, "moonlighting" spotlights an interesting social trend. Whether or not it is here ta stay, and what effect it will have an traditional employmnent practices if it is, remnains ta be seen. But, in any event, the use ta which growing numbers of workers, without the compulsion of hungen or dire neces- sity, are putting their increased leisure is not without an element of piquancy. -Industry ror School System Our children should have the sanie oppontunities as their city friends ta obtain a goad education and be ade- quately prepared ta enter such fine schools as the M.
