ttungs wflicti fe might do to alleviate the pmoblem. Hie can change the situation--which is obviously impossible. The S world of technology which demands that he be educated is here, and an individual has little chance to change it ~>« especîally wheni it is capable of ,bringing us s0 many benefits. The only other'thing he can do is to change himself, and while that may seem impos- sible, it isn't. It also isn't something that can be done quickly. Through maturity ýind experience, however, ,'ýny changes come about. vl:4ngs that really annoy or l>other people at one stage of their life may flot do s 'o at aniother stage. Itis almost unbelievable how much a student's view of education changes after he has been out of school a few years. And 1 requîmes great effort, no matter what your career. Many companies are con- stantly sending staff back to school for refresher courses. Salesmen must take courses to keep up-to-date on new products and teachers often head back to the universities each summer to upgrade themselves. In addition, weld- ers take courses in order to cope with new materials, mnechanics must know about changes in engines and this is true about ahl trades. Whether ýone actually goes back to school or just attends a few evening or week-end lectures, or just reads up on new ideas--it's ahl education. This is why I say a person really can't get away from school. Hie has to keep up to date to survive. But, what if a person doesn't hate school and education but just cant seem to do school work very well. What happens to him? Well, I most certainly think that there is place for him--everyone does not need to be a university graduate. We need people for all kinds of jobs, not just the highly skilled ones either. But, the person who finds the learning of school work very difficult had better be sure that he develops bis other characteristics to their fullest. There is room for the person even wth lîmited education if ho can produce other valuable qualities. Qualities such as- reiability, responsiblity, promptness, eood manners, W e s ti l I h;ave 18 above ground pools Ieftovrf rom d1976. THEY HAVE TO GO NOW!!

But, a spokesman for Energy Probe said last week that we're running out of the fuel that is supposed to supply a whole new breed of generating stations. "Tbere's no guarantee that beyond the year 2000 there will be enough uranium," said Barry Spinner and engineer wîth the Toronto-based Ener- gy Probe. Mm. Spinner explained that there are plans 10 make more nuclear fuel out of used-up uranium, but be said that these schemes have only been proven on paper and not through practical experi- ments. Speaking in a discussion on Nuclear energy at Clarke High School last Thursday, February 17, Mr. Spinner stated that he doubted nuclear power is the cheap, efficient energy source that its support- ers say il is. Mm. Spinner also questioned the efficiency of nuclear power plants, pointing out that the brand new station at Pickering is operating at less than the 80 per cent capacity expected. "And we're supposed to believe that in the next 25 years the station will operate at 80 per cent," Mr. Spinner saîd. SMr. Spinner speculated that iucdear podweFéd plants such as the Pickering station and the nuclear generating station poposed for Damlington will become less efficient with time. "As a machine gets older, it gets in worse condition. No one knows how lond a CANDU reactor is going to operate", be said. While the people who plan power plants expect growtb in the amount of electicity being used Mm. Spinner disagrees. "Our energy demands are going to decrease, he predict- ed. And Mr. Spinner pointed out that hydro bis have increased 25 to 30 per cent ecently and suggested tbat just because of high prices, energy demands will de- crease. Barry Spinner cautioned the audience that Canada should not get itself locked into a program of nuclear power. However, be stated that Ibis may be exactly what is happening. ,Over the next 15 years, we may have to pay 50 billion for nulear enemgy. That's more than the total spending estim- ated for the fedemal govern- ment thîs year, Mm. Spinner pointed out. Mr. Spinner stated that alternative sources of energy such as solar energy should be investigated.

Modern techniques have increased the life span of our population to over the age of 65. Many people in the past 'had the impression the nursing home was the last stop before the undertaker. 1 With times changing, how- ever, today's nursing home is a place where a team of professional people are work- ing together. Emphasizing the import- ance of community involve- ment, its professional staff includes administrators, nurses, dietitians, occupa- tional therapists, physio-ther- apists and social directors. Most of us could neyer affor the accommodation and care offered in most nursing homes around the province if private enterprise and government were not wiorking together. Make a point of visiting someone and becoming in- volved.
