Ontario Companies Surveyed
ncreasing Educational Requirements Indicated
Tho Goderleh Signal4tar, Thursday, September 15, ' 1460
Substantially higher educa-
tional requirements for Ontario's
labor force in 1970 are foreseen
by a group of companies survey-
ed by° the Ontario Economic
Council. •
Currently employing some
28,500 persons, the pilot sample
of, eight firms hopes to have
33,500 on staff by 1970, an in-
crease of 17 per cent, but with
major changes in employee
school attainment and training.
If the forecasts are fulfilled,
the number of employed per-
sons without high school ecluca-
t}on will be 12 per cent less by
1970. The number with secon-
•dary schooling will increase 29
per eent and this will' include
even those in semiskilled and
labouring -type jobs.
The number of •employees
with post -high school (not uni-
versity) training will increase
by '40 per cent and those with
university degrees by 33 per
cent.

Arthritis 'Peculiar' Disease .
Most Chronic Known To Man
Many farmers get it ... wo-
men . sbmetimes enjoy freedom

... occasionally it simply "goes
away" for a time. These are a
few of jhe more singular -facts
about arthritis, the "peculiar"
disease.
The most prevalent of all
chronic ailments known to man,
arthritis and related rheumatic
diseases affect some one mil-
lion Canadians. Industry reports

as a disabling -factor and 'is

ease as the leading cause of

alone.
It is not one disease, but
more a group of medical condi-
tions, which is one reason why
there is so much confusion
about it.
Arthritis can attack any of
the body's joints. It can inflame
connective tissues anywhere in
the body and may even affect
the eyes, heart or kidneys.
.Arthritis presents a formid-
able problem. but a great wealth
.of search and public attention
has been focussed upon it in re-
cent years. More than a score of
university -based research pro-
jects are being sponsored by
The Canadian Arthritis - and
Rheumatism Society. Govern-
ments, at various levels, have
joined 'in the fight _against
arthritis. , -

founded in 1948. Gout and gouty
arthritis can be controlled. The
natural course of rheumatoid
arthritis is better understood.
Mortality from systemic lupus
erythematosus „has been reduc-

. Perhaps because there is al-
most universal fear - of its af-
fects, many of those who suffer
from arthritis do Piot seek corn-

diagnosis and prompt - treat-
ment, serious disability can now
be prevented in a majority of
