4 Thé Canadian Statesman, BowmanvMle, Mar, 6, 1968 EDITORIAL COMMENT *"Don't Quit... Choose! " The theme of Canadian Education Week this year (March 3-9) is directed nt the high school student. It is: "Don't Quit ... Choose !" This theme is exem- plified in a brief pamphlet distributed to students &cross the country. At a time when high âchool drop-outs are presenting Canada's educators with a constant and heart-breaking problem, this pamphlet may weil be worth quoting in full. 1 Some young people SHOULD leave gchool . .. but are you sure you 're one -of tbem ? sYes, some young people should ièave ochool.. either to attend a dif- ferent sort -of. achool. or to get a j ob. There are a..few who.are unfitted physically, mentally, or emotioialy *..for the school they are attending- 'or even for any kind of formai school- 2ng. These young people, though, are a inority . . . a very smali minority. The rest should stay In school. . . i the right school, of course, but in schoo1. Many of us have thought at one tirne or another of dropping out... elther through boredom, or frustration, or whatever. It's normal., Il this feeling does not pass, theri you may be ini the wrong ochool. But there is a right school for y ou. There is the right school... and the right courses of study . . . for every young person. Ask around. Ask a counsellor. And then, when you've found the right school, stick with it until you reach your goal. Many drop-outs seem happy now *.. but what about ten years from now ? What wiil they be. . . where will they be. . then? A8k yourself that question. Some young people should leave school ... but make very sure you're one of them. Think it over. There's tîme ta make up your mind . . . but not . . . very much time. Don't quit . . . choose! ý;'The Canadian Education Week people would like to seS that message pinned Up oni the bedroom wall of every high school student in the nation. If it persuades just one young person ta finish high school instead of drop- ping out, they feel that their efforts will have been worthwhile. There are many spots in the economic intellect- ual, and social life of Canada which are open only to the university graduate. There are almost none open today to the student who does flot complete high school In every generation problems pp lague us. We are discovering that lenty' brings its peculiar diiemmas J ust as depression did 30 years ago. 6 Consîder the cushions that sur- round the young aduit today. He bas a five-day week, guaranteed holidzays, a portable pension. Hîs household is pratected against hospital bis and it will soon be free of heavy doctors' fees. His wife receives the family ai- lowance, and should he be laid off, there is unemployment insurance ta tide him over until Canada Manpower Centre finds him another job. Economîsts, for several years now, have been talking about a guaranteed Income for everyone as a way ta keep tactory wheels turning steadily, and pliticîans. like the Hon. Joe Green ,àelieve it will soon actually came ta pass. Utopia ? NoV quite! Ease can corrupt as surely as depri- viation. JusV as no one works well shack- led by poverty, debt and fear, neither is he mentally healthy unless be f inds purpose in wbatever he does. Automation continues to diminish hard labor and the need for skill. Watching a pointer, throwing a lever at intervals, wbiie vitally necessary, can ho the ultimate ini boredom. What must came are creative hob- bies and "second jobs", the latter volun- tary and altruistîc. Mentally and phys- ically handicapped people need help; sa do immigrants witb language prob- lems and Indian-Metis young people adjusting ta life off reservations. Boys and girls need supervised recreation and leadership. Every community bas its own particular requirements. It takes a lot of prodding ta evoke this sort of self-investment. Economic security can release the capacity of a John Fitzgerald Kennedy or it can rab us of challenge and point. It ail dep- ends upon auïr motivation. At bottam, this is a moral problem and its solution is urgent. Le t the church-es rail up tbeir sleeves. Tbey were neyer more needed. -Board of Evangelism &Social Services, The United Church Sof Canada. The Next Generation Every generation bas warried over the faibles and follies of the next gen- eration, but perhaps thore bas neyer been as much confusion and concern in the minds of parents as thoro is today. We have the hippies, the flower peo- pie, the bike gangs, the studont power groups, the trip-makers. And we have the questions, from why there is sucb bebavious ta what it all means to the future. Some sound answors ta the questions were offered recently in a speech Vo a Montreal service club by F. R. Daniels, cb.airman of Dominion Textile. Company Limited. "As aduits we worry about young people more than aur parents did," Mr. IDaniels acknowledged. "The new at- tention ta, psychology bas made us al wonder noV only about what Johnny thitîks and does, but WHY ho thinks and icts that way. Thus, Johnny is invited ta) bebavo like an individual about whom adults SIIOULD be concerned. "Affluence is a good place ta start this inquîry, for Canada is a land not only of bigh living standards but of va$t potential. It is good at times ta listen Vo the reactioa of newcomors to this country, partîcuiarly those from -Europe. The space, the riches and pas- s.ibilities of this land averpower their Imagination; they cannat camprchend what hey feel is aur cautious attitude, while we sit on what is, ta them, a treasure trove of undeveloped wealth. "And there is samething of this fresh, vigorous senso of risk and gain in a good many of the younger people in this country as well. But have we fostered the spirit of venture that will spur the next generation of Canadian leaders to expiait this land for the bene-, lit of all? I think not. 'We find this country today (and admittedly under the leadership of 1,b> %min4I people whom WE have chosen ta guide us) basically pre-occupied with a level.- ing of' society rather'than a building of new ecanomîc strength and power. Wo divide the pie in small pieces in- stead of looking around ta see how we could, rather, be baking a dozen more, and giving everyone larger slices. We accent dependency an the governmont rather than teach creative risk . . . We may'simnply be too rich in security, too sheltered by our society. To people cf our. gep neratîon this may seem hard ta accept but thInk young for a moment. The young need stimulation and chal- lenge. Here is one expianatian for fast cars, rockless use of drugs and a gen- eral approach ta living that bas shades of wildness in it." Mr. Daniels' conclusion, a signifi- cant one, is that it is very easy for this generation to iose its perspective on the next one. "Thore may be a few who want Vo play with drugs, or print second-band shock-smut in university publications and get invitod ta go on teievisicsn ta expiain it, but.those are a minority. "Count the numbers of themn, thon stack them up against the total enrol- ment of Canadian universities. And throw in the bigh schools, the vocat- ional callegcs, technical institutes, night education classes and young industrial trainees. Now you have a concept of the young Canadians who can make tbis country reaily go." LEAP VEAR TRAGEDY! I was sick as sick as I couid be, On the twonty-ninth of Feb-ru-ar-y!

Dear Friend: Thanks ta the Radio, Tele- vision and Press people, the War Amps Key Tag Service bas just campleted one of the most successful years In lts history. By "success" we mean several things. In the first place, last year we were able ta return 14,274 sets of lost keys ta their rightful awn- ers. That's quite an achieve- ment, and proves the value of the Service.

In addition ta this, the Key Tag Service provides year-raund "sheltered' emn- playment for 42 amputees, and we count this. too, a genuine achievement. We at the War Amps Key Tag office want you ta know that we appreciate the pub- llcity you have given and continue ta give this pro- ject. In the next few weeks we wiIl be mailing more than Il million littie metal key tags out ta car owners across Canada. We rely an the recipients of these tags ta send back ta aur office 60 cents for double sets of key tags, or 35 cents for a single set. The money riised by this praject helps finance the 19 branches of the Warm Amputation Asso c ia t i on across Canada. That pro- gram includes job placement for arnputees, specialized recreation and benevolent work. The money raised alsa supports aur National Pro- gram foi' rehabilitation and aftercare of War Amputees;- aid ta their widows. orphans and dependents; artificial 11mb research and liaison work with civilian ampu- tees.

But if the answer Ia the first ques- tion, in each case, is, "Sometîmes", and the answer ta ail the olhers is an un- qualified. ringing, "Yes !", you're an honest man or woman, and a perfectly normai one, with a good, average mar- niage going for you.

I know that I hate my wîfe some- t imes. deepiy and bitterly, and I know that she bates me sometimes with the same adverbs. But c'est la guerre, and if you don't think marriage is a guerre, either you aren't married or you aren't bilirngual. On the other hand, there's a shoul- der-to-shoulder solidarity in the aver- age marriage that makes up for prac- tically every.thing. A man and woman who fight constantly, verbally and even physicaily, wi]l turn like a pair of cob- criticizes either of them. They will forgive each other for the most mnonstrous insults, the niost cutting and vicious remarks, if it's the real thing. They wiIl cherish each other in sickness as well as in health, in poverty as well as in wealth. I don't know what brought aIl this on, except that it's snowing and the wind is howling about the house, and I know my Old Lady is lonely in the city and I'm lonely at home. There's nobody there to tell ber that there aren't any ghosts, that the kids will probably turn out 0K despite ail evidence, and that she's a bell of a good-looking girl when she gets fixed Up. And there's nobody here ta tell me that I'm clever, despite my stupidity ini some areas, that I'm a good husband and father, despite my lapses, and that my column is readable, if I'd only leave out the vulgarîties. She's so lonely in the city that she can scarcely wait to get home on week- ends sa we can fight a normal life. And I'm so lonely at home that I can bard- ly wait to hear the cheerful babble that normally drives me up the curtains. She misses my cool, my reason- abiiity, my refusai to panic. And 1 miss ber passion, ber irrationality, ber deter- nination to panic. She misses my casual attitude to- ward money and bis. And 1 miss ber f u rous insîstence that the budget shouid be kept in order. And 1 guess that's what this col- umn is ail about.

The resut of that vote wou determine its future. The great weighll of parliamnîary and constitutionai authorities support the position taken by the gavernment. Beauchesne, Bouri- not and Erskine May which are the ieading recognized writers en this sub ject were unanimous in support. k In the past f ive years Canadians bave been elecîing minority govern- monts. It is reasan.abie ta infer that the people did nat intend Vo.give a firm mandate ta any Party. We must inter- pret the House of Commons in this almosphere. It would be ridiculous te have a f irm rule, and particularly rid- iculous in the context of a mninarity governmenî, ta have a constitutional requirement that Ihere must be an election eacb time the government loses a vote. Wben Canadians elect a minority gavernment they take tbe chance that il will be defeated. The wander is that Mr. Pearson's gavernments, whicb bave been in a minariîy since 1963, have not been defeated before. In effect, when the people elect a mninarity govern- ment they ask the gavernment ta gov- ern as best it can. They do not expect it ta caîl an eleclian each time it is defeated and there is no constitutionai or parliamenîary practice requiring il ta do so. To put the question of confidence la the House of Cammons was a reas- onable and logical Ibing ta) do. Now that the government has received a vote of confidence il bas a mandate ta go ahead and gavern.
