Huron .County .Multicare Community Group EDITORIALS GUEST ARTICLE Once Again Offer... You Big .game abounds. Requires thoughtful study BY ROSS WEIN, CREDITON, A MEMBER OF THE CROSSROADS• AFRICA SCHEME Visitors come to East Africa to see the scenery and the in- teresting people, but most of all the outstanding number of wild life of the great plains, savannah bush and tropical for- est. This abundance of big game animals brings in tourists, the second largest source of re- venue to the Kenya government. Agriculture holds the first po- sition. On weekends our group has traveled through the Tavo Na- tional Game Park as well as many game reserves and game controlled areas. A few miles from Nairobi is the Nairobi Game Park. Here we saw baboons, monkeys, Thompson's g az e Iles, hart- beast and gazelles. We drove very close to the zebra, wilda- beast and gazelles. We found a Medical Insurance At Group Rates troop of baboons or lather they found us and climbed all over our land rover. Toward dusk we drove to the river in the park and found ba, boons and monkeys settling down for the night in the trees, In the river we could see hip- pos completely under the water. Every few minutes they would lift out their heads enough to breathe again, These hippos are vegetarians and come out to eat on the river banks at night. The most exiciting sight was that of three lions that had just finished feeding from a kill. We drove up within ten feet of them as they rolled over on their backs, licked their paws or just slept with one eye open. Tourists often think that these animals are tame because one can drive so close to them. This is far from the truth.

Boyne The announcement two weeks ago. that an extensive vocational addition has been .approved for the local high school comes as welcome news indeed, not only for the students who will be offered the wide range ,of courses, but also for the area tax- payers who will have •to pay for the build- ing. Last January a $225,000 academic wing had been approved for the school and it is interesting to note that the cost that would . have been handed over to the sup- porting communities was only a fraction un- der the costs they will have to meet for the $660,415.00 vocational structure. The change of mind by education of- ficials that brought about the change from the academic wing to the vocational ties necessitated a considerable delay and created space problems at HSDHS this year, but the troubles must be considered worth the effort when the increased benefits to the community are considered, Due to the fact the facilities at HS- DHS are needed as soon as possible, the board has not been wasting any time in pushing for approval, and certainly they can- not be blamed for this. But, now that the addition has been approved, the board will be faced with the tough task of choosing the type of equip- ment and courses that will be offered. The types of shops planned for HS- DHS have already been decided and to our knowledge the local board had little or no say as to what types these would be, and this is rather bad in view of the fact the choosing of such courses should be consid- ered to some extent by those who best know the needs of the area. Present plans call for electrical, draft- ing, auto mechanics and carpentry shops. All these are standard shops to be found in practically all the vocational schools being erected throughout Ontario. This leads to the question of whether or not we are apt to fall into the plight of mass-producing stu- dents with practically the same job qualifi- cations and thereby flooding the market in these few career lines. THAT PAYS 100% Of Surgical Bills Including Assistants' Fees, Specialist Fees Accord- ing to the Current Medical Association Fee Book. Why pray for others? THAT PAYS Anaesthetic Charges Certified and Non-Certified Anaesthetists. THAT PAYS Unlimited X-Ray Benefits The main responsibility to see that such a situation does not ariserests with the department of education, as they alone have the information as to the number .of schools offering particular courses, and they too should have a realistic knowledge of just how many students trained along these lines can be swallowed up by existing industries and those which are foreseen in the future. But the local board too has a respon., sibility to ensure that area students get, the best possible education and that their edu- cation will place them in good stead in the highly competitive job market. Some serious consideration also has to be given to supply- ing the needs of the area job force" So as many as possible of the students may re- main in the district. The training in the fields of electric- ity, drafting, carpentry and auto mechanics for those who plan to further their educa- tion at universities and technical institutes is only a background course designed to acquaint them with the manual skills and theory in the fields which they will more fully explore; but for those who drop out at the end of grade 12 and 13, there must be some thought given as to just how many carpenters, draftsmen, electricians and me- chanics can be integrated into the work force. When so many other schools are ap- parently offering identical courses, perhaps there should be sonic consideration given to installing equipment to train students in some other trades for which there is equal demand but fewer students being trained. The benefits of vocational training should prove invaluable to area students, but it must also be remembered that a trained draftsman — or any other trained worker — who is unemployed, is of no more benefit to society or himself than a person who is not trained at all and is unemployed, except in the fact he may be more easily trained for another occupation. But why not train him for a job in which he has a future in the first instance rather than re-training him? Cut their own throats For X-Rays of Dislocations or Fractures. seems obvious is that God has left vast areas of human life under the control of the human will and His healing and restor- ing powers flow through the hu- man will. Every prayer re- leases the blessing of God". Yes, our prayers are chan- nels through which God's grace can enter our life. And so there is nothing too small, nothing too big, nothing too secular, nothing too baffling to bring before God. But if we are to pray for something we must be ready to act to help bring it about. As John Ruskin put it, "If you do not wish for His Kingdom don't pray for it. But if you do, you must do more than pray for it; you must work for it." A prayer for the sick in- volves us in a readiness to visit and encourage the sick. A pray- er for peace and social justice involves us in the debates, the decisions and responsibilities of political life. God has created vast areas where human action, h um an concern and human intercession are essential if His love is to be known and „shown. Jesus identified Himself with people. He continues to make intercession for us. When we care enough to pray for other people we unite ourselves with the active continuing interces- sion of Jesus Christ. To pray in this way is to be caught up into the very life of God. It is to look beyond our- selves to others and to God. To intercede for each other is to experience Christ's way and life. THAT PAYS Laboratory Services mals do not associate people with the autornobile and if one was to step out to get a better picture he may become dinner. Even the baboons may be dangerous. Several people have thought they are tame because they like' to ride on the hood of the cars but after getting bitten the person changes his mind. A few weeks later we visited the Tavo National Game Park where we saw about 40 ele- phants. One of them lumbered across the road and stopped on the other side and stared at the bus. The driver was wondering what was going to happen. There are several other rea- sons for saving the game ani- mals of Kenya besides aesthetic values. I have mentioned that tourists bring money into the country by going on safaris to see the game. Another type of tourist is the big game hunter who is usually quite wealthy. As a result, he buys all his equipment here and also hires porters and guides. The govern- ment sells hunting licences and charges for entrance into game areas as well. Most of the land set aside for game parks is not suitable for agricultural use so this is a way to make use of this land. In some' areas ranching can not be practiced because of tsetse fly infestation, but most wild animals are resistant to this fly. Another method of controlling wild life population other than by licenced shooting is by sys- tematic cropping by profession- al hunters. The mortality of wildlife is high anyway so cropping can prevent this waste. The meat can be sold for human con- sumption and the hide s for leather production. Although this cropping is not rewarding as yet, it is hoped that in a few years some of the canned meat may become a delicacy and sales will rise. One of the greatest problems facing game wardens at the present time is poaching for elephant ivory, and rhino horn by Africans using wire snares, pitfalls and other inhumane practices. When the Africans r e al 1 z e that wildlife is an asset rather than a nuisance this big game resource will bold its rightful place in Kenya.

Creditor) people are taking advantage of the abundant supply of beech and hickory nuts this year and putting in their win- ter's supply. Many of the friends of Mr. N. D.

That may appear to be a rather ridicu- lous statement, but it can be validated on the grounds that labor unions are forcing ma n- agement into automation by their excessive demands, and automation is quickly replacing many employees every day throughout the na- tion. While scientific and technical explora- tion produces new forms of automation con- tinually, the use of automated equipment can , not be justified by management unless it can be proven that it will either improve the qual- ity of their product or reduce the production costs. And, as unions annually demand high- er wages for their workers, this therefore leads management to explore new equipment that will reduce the number of workers they must employ. There can be no doubt but what unions have served a tremendously important task in our society but there can also be no doubt but what they are reaching the stage where they are no longer necessary; and in fact are doing serious damage in many instances. Unions have been instrumental in mak- ing the standard of living in North America about the highest of any in the world, but similar to most other things, there must be limits. The fact that many products being produced in North America are being priced out of world markets clearly indicates that this limit has been surpassed. Walter Reuther and his U.A.W. have recently signed new contracts with several of the large U.S. car manufacturers, and probably are quite satisfied with the "gains" they have made in pay increases, bigger pen- sions, a paid holiday for each worker's birth- day, etc,, etc. But what have they really gained? Very little prohaly when the results of their action hits the cost of living index. The car manufacturers will either • No restrictions in choice of doctor • No limit on number of claims • No deductables 1,500 pear trees on the east side of town where some 50 people are picking pears for canning. The presentation and dedi- cation of a baptismal font fea- tured the service at the St. J o h s-by-the-Lake Anglican church. The font was presented by the W. J. Heaman family of London. A grandson, John Doug- las Wright, was also baptized at the service. Lucan has made a start on its new community centre. Opening of the new head- quarters of Huron County Health Unit in Clinton marks the be- ginning of full-time pu bl i c health services for every citi- zen of Huron County. Most churches each Sunday have a prayer of intercession. It is basically a prayer for others. It is a prayer for the welfare of the world church. It is a prayer for the world — for peace, for prosperity, for well-being. It is a prayer for the sick, the sorrowful, the despondent, the dying. It is a prayer for our families, for those we love. "God bless mother and dad", is one of the first prayers we are taught to say. What basis do we have for this type of prayer? What hap- pens, if anything, when we pray for others? What do we mean by this action? What are we after? Surely we are asking that life be good to them. But then we have to go on and ask does God not want what is good for them whether we ask or not? If He is doing all that is necessary all the time. then what's the purpose of our prayer? The Bible tells us that God is in charge, that the whole world is in His Hands. Yet the Bible is full of prayers of In- tercession. Jesus spoke bluntly about God's infinite knowledge and good will to men. "Your father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him". Yet He taught Hid disciples to pray for daily bread and He constantly prayed Him- self. Dr. David Read is grappling with, this problem put it this way. "The whole question de- pends on our understanding of the mystery of human freedom — of relating our will to God's will. It would be simple to be- lieve that God's will ruled everything in such a way that our human wills had no effect whatever and therefore prayer would be unnecessary. It's simple but it's just not true to life. Our own wills affect each other." "It would be simple to believe that everything follows prede- termined scientific 'laws and therefore prayer would be a futile activity. But this is also untrue to the facts. Human life is more mysterious than that, more complicated than that, more exciting than that. Every- where we run up against the un- predictable factor of the human will." "When we raise the question, why pray for Aunt Jane who is going to have a dangerous operation, we have to raise another question—why should Aunt Jane have good medical attention when a woman her age is dying of the same thing with- out medical care in Asia? "What have to increase the cost of their product or else explore new avenues of automation to replace some of their higher-priced help to reduce operating costs. In the first instance, higher cost of cars —or any Commodity—will make it nec- essary for other workers and employers to receive higher salaries to buy cars, neces- sitating higher salaries for all and an equal hike in the cost of living. In the second in- stance, there will be more unemployment. In either case, the gains are actually losses when viewed from the entire aspect as to how it will affect the economy and push us nearer chaotic inflation. One has only to look at some of the demands made by some labor unions to see they are in no way being realistic about the situation: —The U.A.W. getting a paid holiday for each worker on his birthday. —Detroit newspaper pressmen strik- ing for higher salaries when their average income is now $11,500. —Those same pressmen demanding— and getting—a full day's pay when they had to put in one extra hour on special publica- tions during the time of the assassination of President Kennedy. —Unions demanding that firemen be maintained on all diesel trains, despite the fact the job of a fireman has been obsolete for years. • —Printers in Toronto going on strike against the implementation of automated equipment, despite the fact each worker was guaranteed a job for the rest of his working days. There are many other examples of un- realistic demands, and to make the picture even worse could be added the examples of union interference and violence in strikes, It is no wonder management contin- ues to look to automation to replace work- ers, and the sooner unions take a realistic outlook to the solution of the problems, the better it will be for their members and the nation as a whole. .„.: . , agelritUIWitiMMIA4Z6Z.1„:. .....................
