This special camp is one of the many activities planned in the western province this year to commemorate 'Home Coming Year,' One of the prerequisites laid down for girls attending from other provinces is that they must be descendants of a Saskat- chewanite, Fortunately for Jo Anne, her grandfather, John Luxton, far- med in that province several years ago. Jo Anne, a 12 year old who loves to travel, is keenly an- ticipating the trip that will take her to the camp at Birsay, Sask., June 18. After the week at camp she will enjoy four days of western hospitality in other Guides' homes. She is one of five girls chosen from Ontario to attend the event. Vice Principal Mollie McGhee of Centralia College of Agricultural Technology is a woman in demand. No sooner will she finish marking examination papers then she will be off to Boston, May 5, where she has been in- vited as a consultant at a con- ference held by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Hygiene. The invitation came as a result of a thesis written by Miss McGhee on gustatory perception in children with Down's syndrome. She will meet with research people to discuss mental deficiency. After graduation exercises at the College, May 14, she will go to Toronto later in the month to attend the Travel and Hospitality Education Conference which will bring together people from in- Trivitt ladies interpret story The regular meeting of Trivitt Memorial A.C.W. was held at the home of Mrs. Allan Elston with the president Mrs. G. R. Doidge in charge. Mrs. A. Carter opened the meeting with devotions. She was assisted by Miss Marion Bissett, and Mrs, G. Anderson. Reports were given by the dorcas committee, and social committee, and a quiz was given by Mrs. Anderson on religious education. Plans were made to attend the A.C.W. annual in London April 29. Mrs. N. Monteith was in charge of the program. An essay on the "Innovator" was read by Mrs. Monteith, and the members were divided into groups to continue the story or interpret what they could from the story. Plans we're made to make pies for the chicken barbecue to be held May 26. The meeting was closed by Mrs. Anderson. Lunch was served by Mrs. Les Gibson, Mrs. Wayne Prance and Mrs. George Rether. The next meeting will be changed to May 17 because of the holiday weekend. Roll call will be answered with a filling for a pie. WANTED Ladies to Work For Important Area Industry SIGN UP AT THE South Huron Hospital Auxiliary Membership Tea Tues., May 11 2:30 p.m. Hospital Auxiliary Hoorn How often have you tolerated rude service from sales people, especially in large city stores, or kept shoddy merchandise simply because you knew it would take too long to go through all the channels to get a replacement? Everybody suffers from this sad state of affairs. For 25 years we have watched the attitudes of workers change from people who used 'to take pride in their work' to many persons who now only want `to take it easy on the job.' Many workers seem to exude the attitude that while work is necessary, it is not desirable, A general contractor com- menting on young workers, said this recently, "To-day's youths have been brought up in a pleasure oriented atmosphere. They are not only recreation minded, but are inclined to in- dulge in horseplay, are easily distracted by those around them and hence need far more supervision when they get out on the job. "Many have good intentions, but they have developed no work habits, so as to produce steadily throughout the day. The young are often looking for an easy way out, But there are no easy ways to acquire skills, or to train the body and mind to do things." Not only have attitudes changed with regard to in- dustriousness and craft- smanship, but also regarding honesty. dustry and education for an exchange of common problems. Co-sponsor of this convention is the Canadian Restaurant and Travel Industry Association. Through June, Miss McGhee will assist others on her staff in giving summer courses to local residents. July, she will take a well earned three-week holiday in Spain before returning to the College to prepare for the in- coming fall students. Miss McGhee was recently elected vice-president of the London Home Economics Association. Oue4 ela6 The Times-Advocate is pleased to extend birthday wishes to MRS. CHARLES O'BRIEN, Exeter, 89, May 3, We are happy to make birthday acknowledgments for our senior citizens. If you know of anyone who would like their name to appear in this column please let us know. ••••••,........*.....•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.... Many workers have no qualms about stealing time, and other things from their employer. "Stealing is so common," said one employer, "that it is taken for granted," The big trouble is that the in- different workers can't see they're cutting their own throats. Many firms operate on a very small margin of profit, and the laborers' lack of co-operation, dishonesty and indifference, and their demands for bigger wages have been the cause of several companies going bankrupt, or having to close down, thus, eliminating the jobs altogether. In the same vein, it is difficult to understand unions ordering their members out on strike, particularly right now, when the level of unemployment is the highest in many years. + + + However, the workers are not all to blame. Management has often contributed to this in- different attitude to work. Some companies are overly concerned with production to the detriment of work habits. One company man admitted, "A lot of companies these days don't care what a job looks like as long as it's passable. All they want is production." This gives rise to quick but sloppy work. Sometimes there is a 'don't care attitude' among the management, and when this is the case it usually seeps down to the lowest worker in the plant. Surely, no one is happy to see the high rise in our unem- ployment, but out of this bad situation there may be a glimmer of optimism. Interest in work and work habits may be beginning to swing back into proper per- spective. Speakirig to the personnel manager of a manufacturing plant in this area, I asked what type of students were applying for the summer jobs the company if offering, and also what he looks for when hiring. He admitted to being a man of first impressions (partly because he is too busy to conduct lengthy interviews) . "When a young man comes in with stringy, long hair, love beads, and messy clothes, and who doesn't bother to stand when he is introduced to me, he doesn't see inside my office. "I also like to know what a boy has in mind for his future. But, if after a year or two of university he still just shrugs his shoulders when asked about his plans, I feel he isn't the type we're looking for." On the positive side, the manager said the majority of young men applying for summer jobs are generally speaking, "real good." "Most of them are sincere and anxious about getting money for tuition, and concerned about their futures." Because of the scarcity of jobs, most of those applying this year are eager to work for the wages offered by the company. In past years, the manager said, many of them turned their backs at the company's pay scale and left to look for something softer and with bigger money. Most of the students hired turn out to be good workers, he said, once a little time is spent ex- plaining the workings of a production line. "We like to think," he con- tinued, "that after a few months with us, they have experienced a bit of a growing-up process, and that they leave our plant more mature people and thus, better students," To be sure, if a person has the right work attitudes, he will continue to learn, grow and develop. Let's hope workers and management will start to swing the pendulum back to where a much-needed sense of personal achievement is experienced. Whatever the job, it can be given a mark of excellence. A good worker is one who does well whatever he has to do, and finds delight in being able to do it. + + + YOU CAN STILL RIDE ALONG WITH ME! I was one of the Riders-for- Cancer who decided to gamble that this coming Sunday will be better than the last, weather - wise. So, you can still get in on the Great Ride by rounding up a few sponsors and meeting at least 12 other cyclists at the North End at 1 p.m. to make the return jaunt to Dashwood. The 11 riders who made the trip last Sunday all made it back in good shape (except for a few blisters). They said it was a 'cup of tea.' So, come on now, let's really see everybody out for the finale of Exeter's Ladies' Great Ride For Cancer! It's important that you help. Phone 235-1331 for particulars.
