The Cubs have gome through three playoff series without a defeat) They are currently engaged in the semi-finals against South Porcupine Gold - Kings. Thursday, March 9, 1961 ! By F. M. JOHNSON Plant . Superintendent The Wabi Iron Works Ltd. In common with most industries to-day The Wabi Iron Works Ltd. needs staff and employees of ever increasing educational 'require- ments. ; As business becomes more com- petitive, as manufacturing pro- cesses and products become more complex, as mechanical handling replaces hand labour, there is a constant need for employees that have potential. Education is of course one of the first considerations when plac- ing applicants. Students leaving school at Grade 12 will find twice the opportunities available to them as those who leave school at Grade eight. They will find more interesting work at better pay. They will -be_more secure in their jobs. : It is not only the knowledge that a student has absorbed, but the habits of reading, studying and solving problems for himself, that makes him a valuable employee, _who will advance most quickly on the job. To advance in any techni- cal or skilled job, learning must 'continue. The longer an individual remains in school the deeper the habit of learning becomes imbed- ded and the easier it is to ac- quire knowledge of the job allot- ted. In these days when education is 'so readily available, it is regretted that so many students leave school at Grade eight, nine and ten. En- ticed by jobs at rates of pay that look good to a youth with no re- sponsibilities, the remuneration may be quite inadequate in a few years. Several more years of school will soon compensate in higher wages, as well as in more interesting and satisfying work. In this day of electronics, syn- thetics and automation a larger proportion of the working force must be better educated to be able to understand the increasing com- plexity of industry. On this de- pends the ability of our country, to raise our standards of living, to help underdeveloped countries and to defend itself. In our own industry, the com- pany that progresses is the one that produces a better product at a competitive price. This means embarking into new and better al- loys, materials and methods. Such steps need study and careful con- sideration by personnel whose grounding in the subject makes them capable of arriving at the eorrect solution. Unskilled labour still forms about fifty per cent, of our work- ing force, and is very necessary and very important. However, there is normally fifty applicants for every job of this type that comes open. This means that the competition for work of this type va . is keen. Smart students will apply; themselves to their 'studies; 'stay! in school-to at least Grade 12 and} avoid the competition for work 'and! the unemployment that. is so of-| ten the lot of the unskilled work-! er. all The Hon. George H. Hees, Minis-' ter of Trade and Commerce, re-' cently wrote. "We must keep pace' with technical developments or ad-! just our life to that of a second-' rate nation." is The increasing complexity of equipment and operations, automa- tion, and the widespread use of electronic equipment, calls for a worker specifically and thoroughly educated in the technical aspects of this equipment. While he does not need to be a college graduate, he does need a high school educa- tion with specialized instruction beyond this level. The willingness to concentrate, and devote the time to study 'that is necessary to understand the subject, is the student's contribu-| tion to his own education. The in-. struction must of course be sup- plied by others, as well as most of the necessities of life, during the schooling period. Students who. contribute their share, should. re- ceive every encouragement from | their parents, who for the most part will realize the desirability of adequate education for their children. : If a student has the desire and ability, education should not stop) at high school level. The Wabi Iron Works Ltd. de pends on well educated personnel. To develop well educated person- nel, requires the full co-operation of apt students, qualified teachers, : encouraging parents, understand- ing school boards and tolerant tax-' payers. ~ More Applicants Than Jobs Ell Rall In Unskilled Labor Sector de sch | Haileybury. was held in the base- Festival of Music Entries for thé Temiskaming Festival of Music are not com- ing in as fast as the committee | would like, and the.

It was evidence intended to be used to support a police charge brought against a Cobalt dog lover. It seems that recently the dog owner had his pet pooch impounded by the Tri-Town animal control officer, and was feeling pretty mad about it. The police were tipped off that the dog lover intended toe perforate the dog catcher's hide, and picked him up in a hurry. But in court, Crown Attorney George Black, withdrew the charge, when it was found that the gun wouldn't shoot.
