O-IT organization conducting survey Currently, both Federal and Provincial Governments have expressed concern over manpower shortages in highly skilled occupations. In this cennection, tie Durham Organization for Industrial Training is beginning a survey of business and in- dustry in the Durham Region te determine the occupa- tional and training needs of companies and organizations in this area. This is part of an ongoing activity of DO-lT, to help identify the skill shortages and training requirements. The over ail DO-lT Commit- tee consists of approximately 150 representatives from in- dustry, and acts in an ad- visory role to both the Canada Employment adIm- migration Commission and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, as well as te Durham Coliege and area secondary schools. Murray Rosebrugh and a tearn of experienced retired executives will be acting as facilitators for the survey, which has been funded by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. AU business sec- tors will be contacted, in- cludïng manufacturing com- panies, commercial finms, agricultural and service organizations. Somne of the matters in- volved in the survey are short-term and long-term Let Poland be Pola'nd (Continued From Page 4) destruct and waste our valuabie resources, and in this case it would be thse resources o! the Soviet Bloc countries.

Such a centre would determine what skills people now have, and what further training would be ncessary to meet industry's needs. it is hoped that tihe infor- mation gathered from thse survey will be of help to local industries ini assisting with their manpower forecasting requirements, and in taking the necessary teps te meet these requiremnents. Gord McRae, of Durham's Industrial Liaison Depart- ment, states that the College has a vital interest in the results of the survey in-regard to establishing what further training needs sheuld be ad- dressed. Through ap- propriate courses, Durham can provide necessary skill traininig. This will also Con- tribute to job protability and strengthen the economnic base in our community through in- creased productivity. In- dustrial training is in fact a necessary investment to enable industry to remnain competîtive. The survey co-ordinator, Murray Rosebrugh, states he is very optimistic as to the quality of thse survey, because the people involved are of a higis calibre with excellent ex- perience, and have a strong interest in the project. again in the agricultural sec- tion.

As always in this case, it does flot matter what country in thse world it is, the chain of life in food production wil drop drastically and thse population will suf fer. 1 always think when this hap- pens, it is men's own fault for changing the chain of food production the way our Creator has set this in mo- tion. Since I am not politicaliy inclined, I do flot want to takre sides in the way our own country of Canada has taken action against this basic in- justice, but 1 cannot help but feel that we should take a strong stand sucis as tise U.S.A. has done and other countries.to condemn thîs in- justice so that the Polisis peo- ple can get back their job of producing their own food the way our Creator has set it up.

If yeu can spot thse source of these sunny notes, you wrill see a flock of small birds, usually just whcelîing out o! sight beyond the trees. These are the "Winter Flaches," a group that includes a colourful ar- ray ranging from the purple finch (which looks like its head and shoulders have been dipped in raspberry juice) to the lemon-yellow goldfinch. Goldfinches are common in Southern Ontario year- round, but they retreat from tise top end of their nesting range in Northern Ontario for the winter. Even .li winter, goldfinches retaîn a dusky yellow coleur on their bodies and thse black wings which make them so distinc- tive. In summner, the males of these llwild canaries" are a brilliant yellow, set off with a black cap to match the black wmngs- Goldfinches are birds of the open field, especially if the field is one with lots of thistles. Thistie seeds are an important part of the goldfinch diet, along with many other weed séeds and small fruits. The fondness of these birds for thistles is so pronounced that it is reflected in their official latin name - Carduelis tristis. "Carduus" is latin for this- die. «'Tristis" means sad, presumably in reference to the plaintive flight-call. Th7(isties are- more than simply food for the goldfinch. They also serve as nest-lining in the tightly- woven niets placed in a small shrub or tress. Goldflnch nests are reportedly so ight that they hold water! The thistlebirds are late nesters, keeping to their large flocks until late summer before they pair off, to nest. I can well remember my surprise at fin- ding, a goldfinch nest in a small pine, with a healthy set of fine pale blue eggs in mid- September. Despite this late nesting, obviously the goldfinch is a highly suc- cessful resident of the fields and roadsides of Ontario.
