On Friday Mast, while the Pickering and District high school students were in the Gallery of the House of Com- mons we had a rare occasion where the Speaker "names" a member of Parliament. This happemed on second reading of the Bill having to do with War Veterans Pensions, The member who was "named" used words which were considered by, the Speaker to be un- troduced by the Honourable Gordon Churchill, Minister of Veterans Af- fairs, provide"for an increase of 20 percent across:the Board to pensioners and 33-3 pereent increase for child- ren of pensioners, This is a higher increase, in total, than had been agked by the Canadian |- Legion when they asked for an in- crease of 88-% percent some time ago, based on the situation which prevailed in 1966. In the fall Besslon of 1957 legisla- tion was passed retroactive to July 1st of that year, which raised the pension rates on a graduated scale. For the 100. percent disability pensioner the increase was 20 percent; for the mar- ried person with no children jt was 17.6 percent; for the pensioned widow 'with no children, 16 percent; for the dependent parent it was 16 percent.' No increase was granted in respect of the children. ; Therefore the overall increase sug- gested by the Bill now before the House exceeds the request made by % percent increase for the children will be received enthusiastically by all veterans and.their families and will be a great help to them financially, We are now in the process of con- sidering the Estimates of the various governmental departments, The first of these to come before the House of Commons are the Estimates of the Department of Citizenship and Immi- gration. As soon as these Estimates are dealt with by Parliament, then others will be introduced. There are some 22 departments to be considered. A Ministér finds that on the first item of his Estimates the members of as there are only occasional specific questions asked by members pertain- ing to un particular item before the House. 3 Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills BUSINESS AND EDUCATION Everybody. talks about education, but businessmen do something about it. The business community has con- sistently urged that educational stan- dards be raised. In Winnipeg the other day, Mr. Leonard Hynes, chair- man of the executive council of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce put | the matter very clearly. We must be prepared, he said, to pay the kind of | § salaries that attract high-calibre tea- chers who will have positions of pres- | tige and respect in the community. Business firms do a great deal with- | & out making a big fuss over it. A stu- | § dent from Toronto told me in glowing | terms about the aid-to-education pro-|¥ an opportunity to join Pigott Con- struction on graduation, All modern business requires skilled workers. Teenagers who drop out of school before getting au good educa- tional background are not able to fill the types of positions open in this modern age.. There was a time when a poorly educated boy or girl might succeed through sheer energy and drive, That feat ean still be accom- plished but only by making use of spare-time educational facilities, and by real hard work and application, The best bet for employment today human, They want to get shead fu the world. Increased incentives will inspire them to increased effort, If the profession is recognised as it should be, it will attract more capable people. In the process of raising the re- wards, there will be cases where some teachers are paid more thas they real ly deserve. Society should take this small risk, instead of denying the vast 'majority of dedicated teachers a pay cheque more in keeping with the res. ponsibility they assume in the class: rooms, = - School Boards all too often take "H CROSS BUNS", Phone YUkon 5-2172 ~ GERROW'S BAKERY "LEMON PIES" G.
