\I Examinations in each block of the . training program, will be . adâ€" ministered by the Industrial Training Branch and a system of accreditation will be established to provide a provincial level of proficiency at each class 4 level. ITB Director W. F. Davy said that the modular system «of training provided a flexibility _ in training necessary to meet the rapidly changing technology in the occupation. The program has been strucâ€" tured to provide a logical and progressive program of learning â€" both related and practical â€" which reflects the skill and knowledge requirements of each class of stionary engineer. D. B. Shaw, chairman of the board of examiners of operatin@engineers, said the new system of training will reduce the period of qualification for a first class In the new program, the trainee will recejve classroom instruction in colleges of applied arts and technology throughout the province. This instruction will be supplemented with practical onâ€"theâ€"job exâ€" perience in a production environment in industry as prescribed by regulation. The modular training program was developed by the Industrial Training Branch following an exâ€" tensive analysis of the ocâ€" cupation throughout the province. It is based on the findings of a study of work activities, industry â€" trends and technological changes in 170 of 1,722 registered steam plants and interviews with over _ 2,000 _ stationary engineers of all classes. ‘Mr. Carton said recent studies of the occupation emphasized the *manpower needs of the industry. The studies indicated that the average age of stationary engineers in Ontario is 48 years. Approximately 37 per cent of the stationary engineers are over 55 years, 87)per cent over 35 years and only 1.5 per cent under 25. It was also recognized that a formal training program was necessary to attract technicallw, jnclined young men to an occupation that is becoming highly technical. "After many months of research, discussion and planning, the du Maurier Council for the Performing Arts emerged. Through the council,. we will provide continuing support to the performing arts in Canada." One of the factors that influenced Labour Departâ€" ment officials to develop the new training program, Mr. Carton said, was the need to upgrade the occupation consistent with the demands of industry. He said the technology _ of _ steam generation has been adâ€" vancing rapidly over the last few years without a comâ€" parable revision in training systems. L. E. Ricard, viceâ€"president and general manager of Imperial Tobacco Products Limited said, "After several years of contributing to the performing arts in this country, we became more than ever convinced that industry can play a vital role in the support of this field of cultural activity. Imperial _ Tobacco Products Limited have announced that Senator Donald Cameron will head the du Maurier Council for the Performing Arts, and pledged a minimum of one million dollars to be spent over the next five years. In making the anâ€" nouncement at a press con_f_ergqce held at Montreal, The Labour Minister saige that the new <program signifies * a major, breakthrough in the training of power plant operators. In the past there has been a lack of formal training for those working in the ocâ€" cupation. A new modular training program for stationary engineers announced by Labour Minister Gordon Carton is designed to upgrade the skills of. those working .in power plants to meet rapidly developing technology in the power engineering field. 5 New council * for performing arts Training program Wednesday evenings in the Don Mills library, 888 Lawrence Avenue East at Don Mills Road, beginners‘ classes start at 7:15 p.m., advanced at 8:45 p.m. The fee is $10 for eight oneâ€"hour sessions, January 5 to February~ 23, with inâ€" struction by Mrs. Linda Landre. Yoga classes begin in January at North York‘s Don Mills _ and _ Centennial libraries. In making this anâ€" nouncement, Mr. R. L. Christie, president, said that the name was selected in order to obtain rapid idenâ€" tification of the company in the marketplace. "Kodak Canada Ltd. has a crisp, clean appearance in which the first word immediately identifies us," Mr. Christie said. clean appearance in which ‘"The existence of two the first word immediately companies," Mr. Christie identifies us," Mr. Christie said, â€" "has sometimes said. _ confused the public and our He added that the new ~customers.

The accident rate is high in Metropolitan Toronto and St. John Ambulance is atâ€" tempting to train as many people as possible because it is known that accident rates diminish when more people are first aid traine(?u-baif‘ up this theory, St. Jol Ambulance has a project â€" He said persons entering the occupation will be enrolled in the new program of training. He â€" said provisions have been made for those currently in the certificate from 10 to six years. The St. John ‘Ambulance Society will be conducting first aid courses in five area locations _ starting _ in January. The 16 hour courses will cost $11.00 and will provide those taking the training with a thorough knowledge of first aid procedures.

The council will not make donations or grants for unknown purposes but, rather, will provide the funds to be of assistance to perâ€" forming groups in the presentation of planned programs. The council‘s second goal is to promote and encourage the development of Canadian talent. Imperial Tobacco‘s liaison reporting to the du Maurier Council, is Miss Isabelle Sauberli who has coâ€" ordinated du_ Maurier‘s performing arts activities across Canada for the past several years. This debt, plus the debt incurred through upbringing can nevert be repaid. In North America, parents generally don‘t éxpect repayment anymore â€" care Looking at debt in another way, it may be said that children owe their parents a debt if only for their very existence on earth. Even father‘s dash to the hospital door calls for social capital. The roads he takes, the police escort hé may require, )the stop signs, are there only because of money borrowed by various levels of government to pay for their existence and mainâ€" tenance.‘ # Through these debts, Canadians are provided with national defence, a judicial system, roads, police and fire â€" protection, parks, recreation, _ education,, welfare, postal gnd other communications spystems the list is endless a» All Canadias are inâ€" volved. _ Therefore _ all Canadians are in debt. In 1969 (latest statistics availablef the Government of Canada was in debt to the * tune of $24 billion. Debt at the provincial governme\m\ level totalled $20 billion across Canada. Municipal debt was somewhat lower at $6 billion. The total of government debt was over $50 billion â€" roughly $2,400. per person. This is a debt which no one expects to be repaid. L For instance, the moment an expectant mother reaches the maternity ward. social capital in the form of hospital service is involved. Many people who claim to be debt free do not realize that from the moment they are born they are in debt in one way or another. This campaign for highâ€" way safety is most imâ€" portant, especially during the holiday season. Countryâ€" wide acceptance of the slogan Safe Driving is a Nobody‘s debt Medical _ science has tackled many, and conquered most major diseases but there is no immunization against traffic accidents. The Dominion Automobile Association is joining with other Safety Organizations and Governâ€" ment Agencies to ask the members of the motoring public to be alert to the dangers on our highways. Highway safety Weston master bowler Donald McLean (centre) is pictured with two area bantams, Derik Milier and Sheila Snow at the 8th Annual Ontario Masterâ€"Bantam Bowling Championships held in Hamilton recently. The championships, a project of the Master Bowlers Association of Ontario conducted with the coâ€"operation of the Youth Bowling Council and bottlers of Cocaâ€" Cola drew almost 900 enthusiastic competitors from throughout the province. Don‘s team totalâ€"for 12 gamesâ€"was 2,587. MENT No immunization against accidents mASTER BaNtAM C# Some debts never get paid But for the one who is a Christian there is a secret which will bring peace and serenity in the midst of difficult situations. It is the acceptance of the pre.:gnt situation as the will: of God for our Jives. However, if the situation is disagreeable we cannot honestly say with the psalmist of old, "I delight to do thy will, 0 God," but we can, by an act of will, accept the situation in our lives and There are very few people who would not change some circumstance in their lives if it were possible. We can generally . figure out some change which we fancy would bring us happiness. We often fret and fume when we cannot change our situations or else we settle down into a dreary acâ€" ceptance of the situation. "I‘se jus‘ learnt to coâ€" operate with de inevitable." by Dorothy Clare Kilburn An old negro was asked why he was so cheerful when he had more than his share of life‘s troubles. "Well, I‘ll tell you," replied Uncle Joe, free of the aged has become a government expense. But in many _ societies, _ comâ€" pensation comes through continuing family care of the elderly. y Historically we owe & debt to _ the _ people _ who discovered, explored and settled Canada. For our freedom we owe those who signed the Magna Carta: it was paid for in blood. Pr.ints _ to _ponder The Dominion Automobile Association reminds drivers that although the main responsibility for accident prevention relies on the safe driving habits of the person behind the wheel, it is also of vital importance that the vehicle itself be in top mechanical condition. Icy, wet roads, poor weather conditions and visibility problems all combine to complicate the job of driving safely. Family Affair will go a long way in bringing down the tragic death total that occurs each year. Mz_zn_v of us tend to look at porg purtin C000 masten cun OB Learnt to cooperate Like Uncle Joe who had learnt to cooperate with the inevitable we can allow God to create in our lives a thing of beauty by our cooperation with His will for us. And what are "the things of beauty? They are patience, long suffering, love and Christlikeness â€" only trial can produce them. Now in whispering this prayer it will help the peace of heart greatly if we have a correct realization of the character of the Person who has allowed this situationâ€"to come into our lives. If we have the idea that it is a cold Providence who delights in afflicting His creatures we will not be happy. But if we realize that it is the God who loves in terms of Calvary, who has the interests of His children at heart, who only sends into the life that which will . ultimately work together for its good, then we shall have peace of heart. whisper the prayer of yieldedness, "Thy will be done." This is just the beginning of our real debt. The total picture extends far beyond these horizons. What do they involve? Mortgage payments, medical and dental exâ€" penses, or payments on consumer goods purchased through credit. debt as merely unpaid bills. We clean them up once er twice a month and we think we‘re out of debt. If there was any particular : time of the year when we y should be at our peak in safe P driving habits, it is now. I Each member of the family must accept his or her _ responsibility in preventing &g accidents. From the smallest youngster who h should practice the common C everyday safety rules as V taught to him by his parents L and at school, to the man or woman behind the wheel, whose responsibility it is to not only watch his own driving" habits but must be prepared to allow for the mistakes of others.
