Fillrer up!
4, •
Go ahead. Take
your car to the .
city and fill 'er up
with packages. But
remember: you'll also be filling it up with
gasoline ..... maybe even twice for one
trip. Add THAT to ,the cost of the presents
you buy! Plus consider this: they may cost
more to begin with. Shop at home and bank
at home .... saves time.- Saves wear and
tear. Saves money. And you'll find just
as large a selection of, merchandise right
here in Brussels,
Go ahead. Fill 'er up. At HOME !

Madill Editorial • .. your place
through high school and
university never really knowing
where they will "End u.p" Often,
these people are forced to choose
an occupation below their
capabilities to stave off
starvation..
Others wait for a sudden flash
of insight or a dramatic realiza-
tion which will point them in the
proper direction. These
misguided persons will soon find
that things don't happen in
flashes and will be forced to use
their own resources to find their
place in society.
To find an occupation for you,
you must do some work; some
research; ' some real self
assessment. It's your life and
you're responsible for the way
you live it, no one else is,
First, you should assess
yourself. Write down your skills,
interests and capabilities, These
will differ for each and every one
of us. These qualities determine .
what you can or cannot do.
Then, write down all the
occupations which interest you,
all the jobs you ever wanted to,
have. Following each write its
pro's and con's according to your
own judgment. Examine each in
relation to your first list, your own
characteristics.
Finally, from your list choose
the job for which you are best
suited and go after it. If you work
hard and long enough you can
attain almost any occupation you
wish. Your ambition • and
resourcefulness will take you
where you want to go.
Choosing your life's path is
always difficult but once you have
done so by the use of this formula
or one of your own, you must stick
to your choice. Never give in. It's
your life. Use it in the way you
want to.
'By Ken Deboer
In .this complicated day and
age,.with it's wealth of education
and technological knowledge, the
problem of choosing one's life
occupation is becoming more and
more difficult, Many young
people are becoming very
discouraged as they try 'to choose
the best occupation for them from
the many which are available
today.
Some people have adopted the
"Wait and See" attitude. They go.
