A -large crowd OTTAWA and SmaII Business 1fýà Educatî*on; by JIM SMITH Sometime in the very near future - it mnay, in fact, al- ready have taken place by the tirpe you read thîs - Canada will celebrate a historic mile- stone. For the first timie in more than 40 years, Canada will have (count 'em) one mil- lion unemployed workers. The last time so many, Ca- nadians were out of work, the official term was "depres- sion". Todoy,. it's known as "Icyclical dysfupction", but that doesn't help the unem- ployed. This isn't unemployment like we've known in the past. This unemploymnent is con- centrated among the yoling and the unskilled. For the first time, unemployment is reaching into the homes of the well-to-do; the sons and daughters of the wealthy are as unemployable as every other youth. What will happen to the newly graduated social work- ers? What will happen to the newly graduated teachers? What will happeig to the new- ly graduated history experts? The answer is the same: noth- ing. Though there's a short- age of skilled labour, there is no significant demand for new ad ministra tors, teachers, or members of the traditional, white-collar circle. Eventually,society at large is' going f0 recognize the ob- vious truth: our education systemi simply isn't preparing young Canadians for the re- alities of modemn life. Thiere is no point in training our youth for jobs in big institu- tions when big institutions -ýn't absorb them. Interestingly, the most practical approach to the cur- rent situation is being applied to a bunch of social drop- Oronlo %Weekly Times, Wednesday, MAY 25th, 1977-5 with a Bachelor of Applied Science dEgree in Family Studies. 1INes attended tbe antique sale east of Kendal on Monday.

DR. WILSON CLAIMS Lifestyle depends on political process outs at Twin Valleys Com- munity, a pr ject of Ontario's St. Clair Community College. The students at Twin Val- leys are wbai society usually calîs "drop-o ats"-.'It's equally valid to say, however, that there .was never any plac e for them f0 dro la to. Canada has neyer tau ght sel f-reliance to young people so it should not be surpr sing that, faced with a need for indepen- dence. the y ung are unable to cope. Twin VaIleys teaches self- sufficiency. ýtudents grow their own food, construct their own b~uildings, and learn about contemporary, people-orien ýed technology like solarenergy. By the time theyleave Tiwin Valleys - of- ten only a fi w months after arriving - tliey have learned skills that nu ie themn readily employable in the outside world, even while university grads are looking desperately for work. These one -time social mis- fits learn to 4dapt to society. They leara se If-reliance. They learn skills. They are more' than instittýtional cannon fodder. As far as the Cana- 'dian Federat on of Indepen- den Bsies is concerned education projects like.Twin Valîcys miust be co(ym e the wave of the- future. But there~s an irony about the success o f Twin Valleys. Even while we continue to pour dollars into university courses to teach skAls that can never be applied in our economiy, th rse children, the outcasts and rebels of mod- ern society, are receiving first- rate practica~l educations. Sooner or later, the upper and middle classes will recog- nize that the education sys- temn is ripping them off. *Dr. Ian Wilson speaking at the nomination meeting of the Durham East Liberals, last. Thursday stated tbat "Our lifestyle depends on our political process and- that people must care enougb to, support the candidate of their cboice". Anytbing less he said would lead us to a similar position as tbose nowbehind the iron curtain. Wilson stated Davis chose to manufacture an issue t0 defeat the legislature in order that be could cail an election. "He knew the polîs were in bis favour, tbat unemployment will rilse as will the factor of inflation". Wilson claimed it a wise political choice by David but be questioned if it was morally right. "Is it morally rigbt to'put politics above mankind", he said. In speaking on energy Wilson said the only way to conserve energy is to up the price to the point th.at it will not be wasted. He- attacked the provi ncial government on, the issue of Ontario H ydro saying tbe people have neyer bad the opportunity to debate this issue in public. Wilson attacked tbe NDP by throwing out questions to bis audience and asking that th ey consider the programs being talked about by Stephen Lewis. Wilson pointed out tbat in Quehec the issue of serparatism was neyer an election issue but the minute tbe election was over and the PQ won the issue was before the nation. In speaking of Smith, the liberal leader, Wilson said, he bas made a. number of mistakes early in bis leader-' ship and for tbese was crucified by the news media. "If people would take time to listen to Smitb they would find wbat be is, saying is good," stated Wilson. Smitb would not raise taxes even thougb Davis says it is impossible. Consider, said Wilson, the provincial budget is upwards of $12 billion and a budget of this size gives a lot of latitude. Smithb daims-you can contain the tax rate by reorgnizing priorities,. . . it makes sense, said Wilson. Wilson said be bad learned that the Ministry of Correc- tiônal Services bad eigbt councillors at tbe former outdoor centre ln the Ganar- aska Forest for five students and had furtber been told that in Cobourg there are 125 staff for 70 students, witb 30 of the 70 generally being absent from the institution. "Taxes need not go up", said-Wilson. Don't be hoodwinked by tbe establisment" said Wilson, "Stop, Look and Listen". A delicious lunch was provided by Mirs. M. Wyben- ga and Mrs. R. Elliott.
