Youngpeople shy from farming CENTRALIA - froung people are shying away from agriculture as a 'career choice. That was the mes- sage delivered by Bill Allen, Direc- tor, Centralia College. to =a work- shop at the National Agricultural Employment Conference held re- cently in Hamilton. Allen warned that the current la- bour shortage i i agriculture will be- come even worse in the next few years. He noted that "Young peo- ple are beingdiscouraged from en- tering agriculture by parents, guid- - ance counselors and friends." There continues to be a percep- tion that agriculture is a demCssed - industry with- very little- employ - :Man opportunities. Triday,thc op- ' polite%exists.'. Many jobs • on the farm or in agribusiness remain, va cant-tiecausc well trained employees. arc not available. . In addition there is a misconcep= tion that all on-farm work involves low pay, long hours and poorwork- ing.conditions: Allen concedes that there are some unpleasant jobs ort. there but .is quick to point out that we shouldn'taint all jobs with thesame brush. iHe goes on say "There arc many -agriculture jobs that compare very favourably with those in other industries. We just haven't been ef- fective in getting'that message out 0 Keenagers in action AILSA CRAIG - Where didrNo- vember go? It seems the action at Craigwicl Day Centre for Seniors was so intense there was no time for this joker to catch some -time to get it down on paper. Speaking of jokers takes us back to October whcn a man once intro- duced as having lost his marbles, came to speak to -us at the Day • Ccntre: - Bill Thayer -says he's thougbt it his duty in life. to make people laugh ever since he was two hours old when his mother looked into his cradle and laughed. We would testify that he takes his -duty quite - ah -h - seriously? for he docs it con -r tinuouslly-vvith-rearf ai `r. -- _ _ =- He .had us chuckling from the minute he. walked in the door, throughout his speech, on through lunch time and on his way out! For instance, you probably thought this .. was a period. According to. Bill, it's a speck in a ghost's eye! We're all hoping for a repeat per- formance of his visit. You won't want to miss it either. It seems no time at all since Mrs. Campbell's class from East Wil- liams came to visit us on Hal- lowe'en. However we're -sure the ghosts and goblins, monsters and fairy queens who came have .all changed their appearances long ago. Meantime, we had a busy month painting and firing ccramics, mak- ing bead ornaments, knitting etc., getting ready for our craft sale Thanks to all you who came, it was a great success. in fact we haven't stopped making Christmas trees yet because of all the orders that hove comet in since. , We did take some time out to have juice and muffins with Miss Lori anid her. Nairn Playschool�..s one day. What a treat! We igen had an extra . great -grandma and great -grandpa come from Crai- gholme and the Apartments because of our visitors. Throughout November we had two arca nursing students come on Fridays with some fresh new ideas. Jana , Bannister and Marion McLaughlin had us'playing games, exercising and showed us some very. helpful films. Of course M_ 11on.- „.8e, rlcbrougheb k'toinc old mem- ' orics just being there! Whether it was the ideas, the girls or the com- bination, they were a resounding success! We're doing all kinds of things to get into the Christmas spirit. For instance, shopping trips to London, baking, and trimming our Christ- mas tree the old fashioned way with. strings of popcorn and such. , - Now Radio 98 is practically sounding "Ho, ho, ho-ish" because they are giving us the opportunity to raise money for the Centre. ANyone who would like to help us by saving specific labels and 'store receipts, give us a call. We'll think of you as one of Santa's elves. After our Christmas party, we will'be closed until December 30 .when we'll have an early New Year's Eve Celebration in thc after- noon. May you all sense the joy and peace of this Blessed Season!

Most stu- dents today have very little or no,' concept. of primary -agriculture: Scvcral.pro vines including Ontario . arc implementing Agriculture in the Crassroom programs to address this" problem. and, careers in agriculture ave to be- promoted more aggres- sively that they arc now. The posi- tive experienc'es and opportunities of an agriculture career have to be emphasized with a high profile, ap ` pealing promotional 'campaign. This promotion must be targeted to students, 'guidance counselors and - parents: ,What does the future hold if agri- culture is not successful in attract- • ing more employees? Allen indi- cated the situation can. only get worse. Farmers and agribusiness will find if increasingly difficult to obtain experienced, well trained la- bour. They will be force, dot hire inexperienced workers or leave posi- tions vacant. , • se1IrMr' O '11101"-. Yesterday. evening the kindergart- ens to grade 4 put on a Christmas Concert. Mrs. McClure's kinder- gartens .performed a dande called the Reindeer Roundup and sangL. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Mrs. - Beierling's. grade one class put on a play called The Christmas Story. The grades 2-3.under the su- pervision of Mrs. Cook performed The Elves and the Showrnaker, Fi- nally, Mrs. Westelaken's 3-4 class put on the play Santa and the Ro- bot. - . Auditions We held additions for our,play On Broadway this Tuesday. They were open to the -grades 5-8. Each student had to read something out of a book, and now the directors, Mrs. M. Nelson, and Mrs. G: Tripp. have the had job of choosing parts for everyone. - The play takes place on the "Great White -Way", where -a director tries to put a play together using dance's that can't dance, songwriters that never agree, and acleaning woman from the union that is always com- plaining .about nothing. This director also has a hard time with a very self-centered male lead and a female lead that is never on time. But the Main problem is that there is not enough money to support the show. Before act one is over, a small-town girl joins the cast and a rich oil- man from -Texas offers the directorthe needed financial backing. • Selections for On Broadway will be announced later this week. The Drama•Club hopes to present their production in late February. - Indian Village - On Monday the grade7 and 8 class travelled to the Longwood Con- --servation Area to visit the Indian village there.
