When the‘gefind one, they can‘t wait to unload some of their worries on him. For both our sakes, get eager, will you? You may not believe it, but all around you employers are looking for young men smart enough to go after a job in the oldâ€"fashioned way. Maybe jobs aren‘t as plentiful right now, but a lot of us can remember when master craftsmen walked the streets. By comparison, you don‘t know the meaning of "scarce‘‘. Look, Kid: The only time jobs grew on trees was while most of the manpower was wearing khaki and pulling KP. For all the rest of history, you‘ve had to get a job like you get a girl: "Case" the situation, wear a clean shirt, and try to apâ€" pear reasonably willing. Oneday‘s pay can mean a lot when you have ~<§|ly a cheque from welfare or the unemâ€" ployment commission to look forward to. Ever hear of "empathy?" It‘s the trick of seeing the other fellow‘s side of things, I couldn‘t have cared less that you‘re behind in your car payments. That‘s your problem. What I need was someone who‘d go out in the plant, keep his eyes open, and work for me like he‘d work for himself. If you have even the vaguest idéa of what I‘m trying to say, let it show the next time you ask for a job. You‘ll be head and shoulders over the rest. You see, Kid, people who hire people aren‘t ‘"‘with‘‘ alot of things. We know more about Bing than about Ringo, and we have some Stoneâ€"Age ideas about who owes whom a living. Maybe that makes us preâ€"historic, but there‘s nothing wrong with the cheques we sign and if you want one you‘d better tune to our wave length. But, I hired a teenager today. You saw him. He was the one with polished shoes and a necktie. What was so special bout him? Not experience, neither of you had any. It was his attitude that put him on the payroll instead of you. Attitude, son, Aâ€"Tâ€"Tâ€"I[â€"Tâ€"Uâ€"Dâ€"E. He wanted that job badly enough to shuck the leather jacket, get a haircut, and look in the phone book to find out what this company makes. He did his best to impress me. Evidence of a communications breakdown emerged in last week‘s Board of Control meeting. â€" â€" s He stated that he had been requested to seek married men living in the borough for first chance at the employment offer. His staff conâ€" tacted 25 men from welfare, Mr. Sylvester continued, of which 18 were hired. Mr. Sylvester also gently told the Board of Control that his department had not been notified that the personnel department had not received sufficient men. An uncomfortable Mr. Cronsberry replied that he had been out of town during the time all this had been happening, but that he had been assured his staff had requested the correct number of men. It started with Mayor Philip White‘s anâ€" nouncement that the grant from Metro Council to York for its work incentive program had been cut back by $30,000 to $140,000. . Innocently, the mayor asked Personnel and Public Relations director Ivan Cronsberry if he had hired sufficient men for this works program. Mr. Cronsberry stated that his department had requested 20 men from welfare plus 70 from the ranks of the unemployed. Of this number, Mr. Cronsberry continued, 14 of the 20 welfare applicants were found acceptable for emâ€" ployment and 16 of the 70 requested from unemâ€" ployment were also hired. Only 21 men from unemployment appeared for an interview, Mr. Cronsberry added. Jack Sylvester, district director of the Department of Social Service for North York, York and the City, was hastily summoned into the council chamber. Mr. Sylvester‘s reply to this was slightly off the train of thought; however, it was definitely punchy. The bulk of the men hired by the Perâ€" sonnel department, Mr. Sylvester declared, were not residents of the borough of York. The point is that through carelessness or inefficiency or perhaps just too much bureaucracy, a good number of York men will not be working this Monday. All these men have lost at least one day‘s pay. At this point, Mayor White intervened and stated that the matter would be straightened out at a private meeting between himself and the two gentlemen that afternoon. We are sure that the matter was looked after and put aright in the mayor‘s office that afâ€" ternoon. But that is not the point. _ Today you asked me for a job. From the look on your shoulders as you walked out, I suspect you‘ve been turned down before, and maybe you believe by now that kids out of high school can‘t find work.

This may very well be that the majority of these units may not be completed until two years from now. It is my suggestion that the Ontario G o vernment, in collaboration _ with the Federal Government and the private sector, should create a fund of $500 million and that the Ontario Government should subsidize the interest It would seem that the Speech was conceived by public relation specialists adept in creating an apâ€" pealing package, but before it was presented to the public, someone forgot to put the product inside. Let us examine the proposals 1. "A $500 rillion home construction program to provide 132,000 jobs within the next,year and build 30,000 housing units for 90,000 people." It took days of digging by both the Opposition and the press to sort out exactly what the ‘new‘ government program contained, and in the process each explanation by the Minister responsible, Hon. Alan Grossman, the To The Editor: As the Liberal candidate for York South in the forâ€" thcoming provincial elecâ€" tions, I looked forward to the Speech from the Throne with anticipation. Having studied the highlights of it and having sorted the wheat from the chaff, I found there was indeed very little wheat, but a great deal of chaff. The newspaper headlines were impressive but the small print gave the very disapâ€" pointing details. Everyone concluded from those words that this ‘new‘ housing program would be in addition to current housing construction; would therefore be cutting into the backâ€"log of housing needs; and would be creating some 132,000 new jobs to relieve the moreâ€"thanâ€"200,000 unemployed ranks. "To _ combat _ unem:â€" ployment and to provide for the needs of our people, the Government will commence a new home construction program. Using funds generated from the private sector and the Governments of Canada and Ontario, one half billion dollars will be injected into the economy of the Province. This will establish a potential for 132,000 jobs during the next year, the construction of 30,000 units of housing and shelter for 90,000 people." of the Davis Government‘s pre_-_el_ec!ion_ program, as LETTERS TO THE EDITOR spelled out in the Throne Speech, centres in the housing proposals and their help in easing the unemâ€" ployment situation.

That would have amounted to 88,000 â€" more than the new Ontario overall housing objective announced in the Throne Speech. rate to a base of seven per cent. These borrowings should be for a relatively short term â€" two to five years to take advantage of fluctuating rates and would in the long term cost the government anywhere from zero per cent to three per cent based on recent conâ€" ditions. This would mean that the buyer of a house would not be locked in on a high interest mortgage and could result in a savings of $50 per month in interest on a $20,000.00 mortgage. A subsidization of interest rates would mean that more people could afford to buy a house and would imâ€" mediately create a market for housing. The overall home conâ€" struction program, private as well as government construction, will only be 8,400 greater, up from this year‘s 76,600 to 85,000. At present day conâ€" struction costs, a 1,000 square foot home can be built between $13,000.00 and $14,000.00 plus the cost of the land. Providing that a lot will cost $10,000.00, then the total house should cost no more than $24,000.00. With a down payment of $2,400.00 this involved through the Ontario Housing Corporation will be 4,000 greater, increased to 20,000 from this year‘s 16,000.

Graham Youth of the area are being challenged by District ‘D‘, Royal Canadian Legion to ‘Step up â€" Fall In â€" And raise the building fund" in a walkathon to be staged Saturday April 24, beginning 9:30 a.m. The campaign is to build a 100â€"bed domicilary care unit in Metro Toronto, a care centre for aged veterans. A well planned walk, (about five to 10 miles in length), it allows all ages to participate. It is not an endurance contest. The walk will be patrolled and all piracies. The pact was signed in The Hague, the Netherlands, just three months ago. LEGION NEWS You will come to see, as so many others have already that this is a positive, creative adventure, full of promise for the future of our total community. If Weston, in these latter days, has been in danger of losing its identity, here‘s where it will rediscover its identity. When you hear about it, as you will at the public meeting on April 19, you too will be caught up in it. Come out on April 19 and find this out for yourself. If it doesn‘t get to you in the way I As one who has been in the project from the start, I am both heartened and humbled by the responsive chord it has struck in the hearts of all who happen to have heard about it. But the spirit that made Weston what it was years ago â€" a friendly smallâ€"town neighborhood â€" full of congeniality and comradeship â€" that spirit still persists. I‘ve lived here only 2 years myself. In that time many people have told me how Weston used to be years ago. Most of them with a note of sadness in their voices. There is no doubt that Weston has changed. It has changed considerably in the short space of time I have been here. It is changing now. It‘s going to change more. We have seen this Spirit bouncing back to the surface during the past few months. And the catalyst has been the "Weston Inâ€" formation and Referral Centre". A Public Meeting has been called for Monday, April 19th in the Lindsay Auditorium, C.R. Marchant Senior Public School. The meeting is timed for 8:30 p.m. At this meeting the full plan and purpose of the Weston Information and Referral Centre will be discussed; a constitution presented; Articles of Incorporation drawn up; and a Directorate of 12 people, representative of all sections of the comâ€" munity, will be elected. If you want to hear something good and promising about Weston‘s future for a change, plan to attend this meeting. Last week‘s paper featured the Training Course for Volunteers which is integral to the policy of laying a good foundation. But if the significance of what goes on hasn‘t got to you yet, now‘s your chance to find out where the action is, and to be part of it. A few weeks ago, in a column headed "Green Light", this newspaper announced the goâ€"ahead for the "Weston Information and Referral Centre". Since that date a group of industrious and enthusiastic citizens have been hard at work laying a solid foundation for Weston‘s most thrilling enterprise in recent years.

Reed is Minister of Westminster United Church in Weston. Weston Collegiate Institute, Room 203 â€" 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evenings â€" April 20 through May 25. Breathless as I am (from writing this at top speed) let me pause to repeat the two happenings I have been deliberately pressing you to attend. They are: (1) A public Meeting for the ‘"Weston Information and Referral Centre" Monday, April 19 â€" 8:30 p.m. Lindsay Auditorium, C. R. Marchant Senior Public School. (2) A Series of Lectureâ€"Discussions on ‘‘Three Hebrew Prophets" If you do come, please come prepared for some serious thought, for some searching of the conscience, and maybe for some ‘‘shock treatment". Bring a Bible (preferrably a modern translation such as the New English Bible) and, if you think it would be useful, a pencil and notebook. My overall intention is to open up an approach to the Bible, and to these three powerful prophets in particular, that will enable people to see their relevance and to feel their bite upon life as we live it today. The title of the course is "Three Hebrew Prophets‘ and the three are Amos, Hosea and First Isaiah. But the shape, form and in some measure the content of each session will be determined by the interests and the needs of those who participate in them. Well, to back up this claim, I am going to conduct a series of public Lectureâ€" Discussions in the Weston Collegiate Inâ€" stitute on Tuesday evenings April 20 through May 25, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. These Lectureâ€"Discussions will be held in Room 203. They are open to anyone and everyone without charge for admission or fee for the course. Watch your mailings in the next few days for further details about this meeting and mbout the Centre itself and its official opening May 3. I want to devote the rest of my column this week to a different though related matter. It is Bible Study. This is the "Inspiration‘‘ part of my title. I have tried to point out in this column in recent weeks the pertinent fact that there can be no true service of man â€" indeed no true understanding of man â€" without a true and prior understanding and Service of God. If the ‘"‘Weston Information and Referral Centre" is, as I believe, practical Christianity, then Bible Study takes us to the basis on which it is built. have aescribed then I‘ll eat my hat!
