It's Clean-up Time Again
Tourist Attraction?
The Paint-Up and 'Cl ean-
Up campaign undertaken by
the Chamber of Commerce
each .year draws attention
to the responsibility each
of us has in making good
the ravages of winter
about our properties. We
are reminded that each
has a duty to our corn-
munity to ensure that un-
tidy, unkempt, unsightly
area are not permitted to
remain in, the public • view.
It is remarkable how an
otherwise favorable im-
pression of a community
can be spoi led by the a,p-
pearaRce of an unsightly
yard-, a del api dated build-
ing, or a clutter of
abah,doned machinery, or of'
wrecked cars.
It is true there may be
good reasons for such a
condition to exist. But
,a visitor to town cannot
be expected to know this.
Al 1 the visitor can do is
This' is going to be a long .tough
summer fbr parents of young: people in
the• senior high school and university
brackets. They're going to be .stuck
with bored, restless children. .
And-the only ..thing worse than having
a bored, restless, child on your, hands is
a severe case of the -crud, with complic-
ations.
The -reason it's gOing to ,be a bad
summer is that there are no jobs for the
Majority of young people who would nor-
mally be working.
. The other day I carried out' a brief
poll of one of my senior grades. Most •
of them are bound for university or
nursing or some such. I asked' how
many had a JOID lined up for the summer.
Out of thirty people, two had. One will
work for his father on a dairy farm.
The other, a girl, will Minch a cash
'register' and only got the job because
She'd worked at it last year.
So there we have twenty-eight frus-
trated young people. I have the greatest
sympathy, 'hOt for them so mile!' as for
their parents. Nothing will break up a
good family relationShip more quickly
- than having '. a,' health_y _young.: animal,
lolling about the house all summer.
They' eat as though every meal were
their„ last one. They get lazier and
lazier, staying up date and sleeping in
late. They have no' money for recrea-
tion, and get surlier and surlier. They
develop ,a 'feeling of being useless and
unwanted, and resent any advice.
Too darn bad about the spoiled brats,
you say, and I agree. But that doesn't
alter the situation. I'd rather live for the
summer with a porcupine that had an
ulcer than a student without a job.
Thousands of them will hit the road,
like the hoboes of the Great Depression,
drifting about the country, buMming meals,
a place to sleep, and losing their self-
respect in the process:
And just as the hoboes used to raise
enough for the occasional gallon of wine,
some of these kidg will panhandle or` steal
to get money in order to get high on drugs.
What's the answer? Don't ask me. I'm
a question man, not an answer man, Then
let's ask some questions.
Is it partly the kids' fault"? Yes.
Some of them would rather bum all
"summer than clean themselves up to the-
minimum standards of a pretty free so-
"ciety. Others have never done a dirty
day's work in their lives, and would not
stoop to menia 1 chores. (My first job
Was cleaning opt lavatories.) And a great
Many of them simply sneer at the whole
protestant work ethic. It's all right
for the old man, but I'm going to do my
own thing - not work.
But I ,think the majority of these
kids would welcome a job of any kind.
Tough toe-nails fOr them. There aren't
the Jobs. •
industry doesn't want them, for prac-
tical reasons. They have to be trained
JO even the simplest factory work, and
by the time they're' producing, they're
off to "school again. Industry prefers to
hire people who are 'going to be content
to put round pegs in round, holes for
years,• at minimum wages,
And speaking of wages, the tourist
industry, which used to ;absorb so much
student labour, Can't affbrd it any more.
'"'Minimum Wage laws in jobs that used •
to be Supplemented by tips have made
many resort operators turn their backs
on students. Why hire an awkward girl,
waitress with, experience; at a buck

fortunately, the good
things he has seen - the
streets , the parks , the
public buildings - will be
weighed against the un- •
sightly things he has seen..
The net result may well
be unfavorable.- The work,
the planning and care of

pool of unemployed, for the same figure?
•Is ;it the government's fault? Partly.
The .460 million the, federal 'government
put up to alleviate, the students' situation
was ,too - little and too late, and had so
many strings attached to it that Mr.
Benson might just as well have thrown
it into the Ottawa River. '
All it tag done. is create.-.another
branch on the vast oak of bureaucracy.
That's where a good chunk of the money
will. go. It's, like foreign aid. By the
time the wheat or-whatever it is trick-
les down trough the bureaucrats to 'the
natives (students), there's only.a mouth"- „ ful left.
Any reader with a modicuni`of com-
prehension will have realized by this time
that my daughter is home from university
without a job.
Anyone haw a job for a twenty-year-
old 'with big brown eyes, a charming grin
and auburn hair? Qualifications: plays
a mean piano and guitar and sings; types

loafing around home without a job; fair
