LAWRENCE APPROVES Federal nuclear control board Allan Lawrence, M.P. for Northumberland-Durham and Conservative energy cri- tic, has agreed with the, introduction of legislation in the House of Commons to establish a new Nuclear Control Board. The legisiat- ion was introduced on Thurs- day by Energy Minister, Alastair Gillespie. The new legislation would divide the responsibility for regulating sucb projects as uranium mines and nulear reactors from the role of promoting nuclear develop- ment. At the present time the Atomic Energy Control Board holds both functions under legislation passed thîrty years ago. The new legisiationi requir- es the, Nuclear Control Board ta report on the regulatory matters to Science Mînister, Judd Buchanan. Other res- ponsibilities would remain with the energy Minister. According tQ Mr Peter Fleming of Totteri Sims Hubicki, -engineers for the Town of Newcastle on the Construction site of the Orono Arena complex said Monday morning that construction at this point was ahead of scheudie. Mr. Fleming said the com- ing of snow may slow down Indoor bulbs brighten winter Allan Lawnrece has been reported to have stated that generally the change is a good thing and that there have been real conflicts in the past. He points out that the samne Minister was responsible for those doing the polluting and those responsible for the regulations. Lawrence did feel however that the regula- tory funcion, should have been under the Minister of the the operation for a day or two but no longer. He said that the steel frame work was arriv- ing on Monday and the contractor expected to have this put in place by the end of the week. Ail work, he said, is progressing well.

Several, professors switched into plumibing but there were no reports of plumbers moving into nmedicine. The plumbers obviously had foresight. Today, after discouniting the numnber of unpaid years doctors spend in medical school, the ave- rage plumber niay be making about as much as the average doctor. There's miore to this story thnthe obviouis lesson that only other plum-ibers and( up- peri--n!comle docto-rs can af- ford to hire plumnbers. The reali lesson is that our work force hias been trained ini the wrong areas. We nieed mnore plumibers and fewer profes- sors. Wýest Germany and the Neth)erlands have resolved this problern by employing extensive apprenticeship training. Thie system bas worked so well thlat many experts are recnmmending a better apprenticeship pro- gram for Canada. A'ýpprenticeship is hgl attractive today. We have hiÈgh unemployment ofyvouth going hand-in-hand with shor- tages of skiled labour. And,' of course, an apprenticeship program would give young people a chance to gain the experience tkat ail em-,ployers seemi to demiand o)f would-be workers. On the other hand,appren- ticeship isn't thepanaceathat many observers believe. The truth is that there are several serious flaws which make thé European apprenticeship system inappropriate for Canada. In a rapidly changing world, for instance, many of the traditional apprentice- ship skils could becomie re- dundant. Redundancy is a greater threat to the appren- ticed worker than to one who has been academiûcally train- ed because the academnie has generally learned to be more flexible. Emiployers would be un- likely to juimp at the chance to hire apprentices. Appren- ticeship programns are costly; the costs far outweigh the ap- prentice's productivity. Later, when the apprentice bias be- comne a journeymnan, there is no guarantee that the firm wil[ be able to retain that niewly-sýiled worker. Even the unions aren't hap- py withi the idea. Organized labour realizes that a flood of new tradesmen would puish down the average wage level. Right now, the unions hiave restrictions on the num- ber of apprentices that may be trained; they are unlikely to expand that number. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business re- gards apprenticeship as one of the more serious labour is- sues of our time. Balancing the advantages against the disadvantages, the Federg- tion recommends a M~end of on-the-job training tied in with vocational school curri- culums. It cails for more co- o peration amongst vocational schoois, community colleges and employers. And, above ail, it asks that ail monopoly powers that restrict free en- try into the labour market be elimin)atedThere's no excuse for simultaneous unemploy- ment and job vacancies. Flowering bulbs grown in- doors during the winter can add color and cheer ta your home on duil winter days. R.F. Gomme, Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, says forcing varieties of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and narcîssus ini- doors is quite easy. "It's only a matter of simulating the outside grow- ing conditions in a shorter time span." Bulbs should be planted in pots containing a soil mixture of equal parts loam, sand and peat mess. Mr. Gomme recommends placing small stônes or broken crockery over the hole at the bottom of the pot to ensure good drainage. To plant bulbs, start by haîf filling the pot with soul, then placing the bulbs one-haîf inch apart. Add more soil until just the tips of the bulbs show. Mr. Gomime cautions again- st packing thse soil too tightly. Water the~ pot thoroughly ne the soul settles around the bulbs at a level about one-haif inch below thse pot rim. Place the pots in a cool, dark place such as the basement, garage, or refrig- erator, for about three mon- ths. Check occasionally to see whether bulbs are rooting and moist. Mr. Gomme says bufbs can be brought into warmer te mperatures in a shaded location once roots begin, to show in the drainage hole and some -top growth begins. As the shoots green, re- move the plants to a brighter area with a roomn tempera- ture of about 18 C. and;water therà well.
