Planning for the day you retire or buy your first home means having a master plan for your investment in the future. So we have two plans to help. A Retirement Savings Plan, and a Home Ownership Savings Plan. They both earn you valuable tax savings, and when you subscribe to either one, or both plans your contributions can be applied to any one, or a combination of these investment vehicles: 1. Royal Bank, R SP and HOSP Deposits. Interest-bearin deposits with The Royal Bank o Canada, offering a high interest return, geared to the general deposit rate structure. Because of the long- term nature of these deposits, it is possible to pay a higher rate of interest than on conventional savings deposits. 2. Income Fund. High-yield bonds, deposit instruments and mortgages insuredi under the National Housing Act make up this portfolio which is actively managed by professionals. The policy is to achieve as high a current income as is compatible with maintaining reasonable price stability as well as moderate capital appreciation. 3. Equity Fund. Investment mainly in Canadian common stock port- folio which is actively managed by the same professionals. Long-term capital growth with reasonable current income is the objective of this fund. Its all in how youplan your strategy. Your Royal Bank manager can help you work out a master plan. Why not call or visit today. Now it's your move.

Education with Terry Hawkins Last week I discussed the 1977 all students entering a must, during the first two new regulations governing secondary school for the first years of their secondary compulsory subjects in Ontar- time would be required to take school education, take two o Secondary Schools. I noted certain subjects. This means English courses, two mathe- that effective September 1. that next grade 9 classes matics courses, one science course, one Canadian History and one Canadian Geography course. I also drew attention to the fact that the History and Geography courses had to be a Canadian History and a Cana- dian Geography. The only LOOKING INTO flexible aspect of the compul- sory subject regulations is that under special circum- stances a school might allow a student to take two Canadian History courses instead of one History and one Geography. This new regulation con- cerning compulsory subjects is only one of a number of regulations that govern the program of studies for an Ontario secondary school stu- dent. Another requirement for all secondary students has existed for many years and obligates a student to take three courses out of each of SINGLE VISION BIFOCAL the four areas of study.

Exchange Student Talks - ~ Bowmanville Book Beaf About Trip to Australia puter Science. The third Area of Study is Social and Environ- mental Studies. Examples of subjects in this area would be Geography, History and Econ- omics. The fourth and final Area of Study is known as Communications and includes subjects like English, French and Shorthand. A requirement for every student now attend- ing an Ontario Secondary School and this has been a requirement for many years, is that before graduating they absolutely must have taken at least three courses from each of these four Areas of Study. They must have taken 3 Arts courses, 3 Pure and Applied Science Courses, 3 Commun- ication courses, and 3 Social and Environmental Studies courses. The remaining 15 courses needed to give them the 27 credits required to graduate can be taken from any or all Areas of Study. An additional requirement af- fects all students who started secondary school between September of 1974 until the present. These students must include in their total choice of courses 4 English studies courses and 2 Canadian studies courses. The require- ment that affects next year's grade 9 classes is of course that they must take the compulsory subjects. So to summarize quickly all students require 27 credits to graduate with a grade 12 diploma or an Ontario Second- ary School Graduation Dip- loma as it is formally called. Within these 27 credits, a student must take at least 3 courses out of each of the four Areas of Study. A student who started secondary school prior to September 1974 has no other restrictions upon him. Those students who started second- ary school in 1974, 75, or 76 must ensure that they take 4 English courses and 2 Cana- dian Studies sometime in their program. Those students starting next September will take 3 courses from each of the 4 Areas of Study but will find that 2 English courses, 2 Math courses, one Science, one Canadian History, and one Canadian Geography course must be taken as compulsory. This results in three sets of regulations being applied to. Ontario Secondary School stu- dents. Those who started prior to 1974 have one set of regulations, those who started in 1974, 75 or 76 have another set of regulations, and those who will start in 1977 have the new set of regulations which introduces compulsory sub- jects in grades 9 and 10. The Areas of Study are an important basis of the Ontario Educational system. Several other concepts are important as well and therefore I shaîl discuss subject promotion, levels, credits and Individual timetables next week.

Mr. Clare Robinson returns to the G.M.C. on Monday after being out on sick leave for several weeks. LIBERTY BELLES You may have wondered what become of Lori Van Camp after she returned to Canada from her stay in Australia as a Rotary ex- change student. Well, she is back at the Courtice Secondary School now and is keeping busy with speaking engagements for organizations such as church groups and Women's Insti- tutes. She said last week that she sometimes speaks and shows her slides several times a week. She added that this is quite enjoyable because she has a chance to relive her visit to Australia each time she shows the slides. Last Friday afternoon, Miss Van Camp talked about the land "down under" to a new kind of audience. She was speaking to about 25 grade six students at the Mitchell's Corners School. Tasmanian Devil The students turned out to be an attentive audience as they asked questions such as "does a platypus have teeth?" and "have you ever seen a Tasmanian Devil." The students also learned a little about what it would be like if they were going to school in Australia. Miss Van Camp has first hand experience about Aus- tralia's schools because whe was a student at a school located in a town about half way between Melborne and Sidney. "We went to school from nine to four in the afternoon, so consider yourselves lucky," she told the students at Mitchell's Corners. Uniforms In the Australian school system, almost everybody wears a uniform except for some schools in which senior Launch $65 Million Program to Provide Jobs for Students Details of a $65 million program expected to result in almost a quarter of a millioin jobs for young Canadians were announced today by Manpower and Immigration Minister Bud Cullen. The comprehensive inter- departmental program will continue to be known as the Student Summer Employment and Activities Program (SSEAP). This year it in- cludes two new elements-the Young Canada Works and Summer Job Corps Programs, part of the employment stra- tegy outlined by Mr. Cullen in the House of Commons this fali. "We are trying very hard to respond to the needs of students," Mr. Cullen said. "This year's program will be much larger than last year. It will provide worthwhile jobs for many more young people." By mid-February more than 300 Canada Manpower Cen- tres for Students will be in operation throughout the country to solicit summer job orders from employers and accept registrations by young people. SSEAP, last summer on a budget of approximately $24 million, placed about 200,000 young people in temporary jobs in the private sector and created 12,160 jobs in the public sector. This year, approximately the same num- ber are expected to be placed in the private sector and around 37,000 students will find jobs with federal govern- ment projects. Young Canada Works is a job creation program for students, patterned on the Canada Works Program. Funded at $30 million, it will provide funds for established organizations, partnerships and corporations to develop projects which will benefit communities'and employ stu- dents during the summer. The Summer Job Corps is a $10 million program through which federal departments and agencies will create about 6,000 short-term jobs to pro- vide young people, primarily students, with challenging work experiences for career and educational development. Job Exploration by Stu- dents, funded at $1.1 million, will again be conducted in co-operation with the Cana- dian Chambers of Commerce Don't forget to GIVE before you go RED CROSS students can wear regular clothes. For the boys, the uniform consists of grey flannel shorts and a grey shirt and the girls are decked out in dresses, white socks and black shoes. "They've always worn uni- forms, I think it's from the English system," Miss Van Camp explained. Because of the huge dis- tances inside the country, she said that some students on isolated farms go to school by radio. The students lisen to their teacher over the radio and one teacher may have his or her students scattered over thousands of square miles. When it comes time for holidays, Australian students have their summer vacation in the winter months, because Australian seasons are the reverse of ours. Swimming Miss Van Camp showed slides of the river in which she went swimming on Boxing Day. The Mitchell's Corners stu- dents also learned that Aus- tralian insects are sometimes four times larger than ours and that any snake you see is more than likely of the poisonous variety. There were also photo- graphs of a visit to Ayers Rock, in the middle of the country, and photographs of sheep and Koala bears and kangaroos. Kangaroos, by the way, are not as common as you might expect, according to Miss Van Camp. She said she.was in Austral- ia three months before she actually saw one. Miss Van Camp's visit to the Mitchell's Corners School was an appropriate one because the grade six students had recently been studying Aus- tralia. RENT-A-CAR classic about his travel across Canada's rail system on a hand cart. Hilarious. This vibrant land By alternating shots of the Canadian landscape with shots of paintings by the Group of Seven, this film shows how the artists took their inspiration from what they saw around them.

By D.M. Dineen It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words and in the case of a film this is especially true because both picture and works are there for you.
