He can swallow his pride and quit his job and get in on the Manpower goodies himself. Why not? Lpts of people are doing it. Go to school, get paid for your trouble and end up with a new career. Not bad. He can .,. and probably should ,.. change his mind about what he wants to do with his life. If, the meat cutters' course is filled to capacity, chances are there aren't any real jobs in that field to begin with, or if there are jobs there now, it won't be long before they will all be filled. Hecan stay at his present job and fight like a steer for higher wages, better hours, less work and more company benefits. That's the route that a good many workers are ~taking these days. Produc- tivity and pride of work- manship belong to the past or to the future. Right now, most people develop the philosophy that you go to work, you stay as long as you absolutely have to stay each day, you do just what is required of you but not a thing More, you demand top dollar for your services, and you go home at the end of the day to try to find the kind of fulfillment people used to achieve at work. Or he can draw himself up to his full height, grit his teeth until the next meat cutters' course begins where there is an opening ... and get to work to become the best doggone meat cutter in the country. He may not ever be rich but he'll be a success ... for in my books a person is successful who can claim to have done a job to the best of his -her ability and been happy doing it.

What a joy to hear the happy laughter of kids as they hurry out to Point Farms or The Falls or some such pleasure spot in their grubbies and camping garb for a whole glorious three days away from the continual questioning of parents. And what a pleasure to see the smiles on those parents' lips as they wave good-bye to their merry charges and look forward to a whole glorious three days of silence; no rock groups, no thumping up the stairs, it's enough to make a grown man cry. It's too bad that it all has to end. On Monday night, a silence of dread hovers over suburban Goderich as it fearfully awaits, "THE RETURN OF THE TEENS", Soon, off in the distance, a slow armada of tape deck carrying cars, all playing a sad rock tune, moves into view. The barrage of defence questions is sent up against the invaders. What a pity that the parents do not recognize sad music from the merry kind and students don't differentiate between happy and sad nagging. It's all because of a lack of communications. But this fearless reporter, always alert and thoughtful, has come up with a solution. The Government should make every weekend a holiday. No? Well then, how about...ah, never mind. The situation defies solution. I guess we all have to be happy that we had the three days and be satisfied with that. At G.D.C.I. • It's election time again'and the nominations are rolling in. Unfortunately my deadline does not allow me to report the nominees' names but they can probably be found elsewhere in the paper. There are only fifteen more days left in the year so now is the time to finish up those assignments and get 'em in. I hope you -all last the year out. Until next week, we'll see ya. Try and stay cool no matter what happens. If I might pass on a rather worn maxim, "If life hands you a lemon, don't just stand around, make lemonade." Huronview News Attendpre view Nine Huronview accepted the invitation to attend the dress rehearsal of the program, "Vacation Canada" at Victoria Public School, Goderich on Monday afternoon. This was a musical program and was greatly appreciated by the residents. The annual spring drive, which is sponsored by the Exeter United Church, took place on Monday evening. Forty members of the congregation provided cars but, due to the inclement weather, the interest at Huronview was disap- pointing. The Huronview residents who took advantage of the drive enjoyed it very much and it is hoped that another year the weatherman will be more co-operative. Molly Cox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided the Old Tyme - music for Tuesday's . program at Huronview. The Goderich Township Women's Institute volunteers assisted with the activities. Mrs. Henderson accompanied at the piano, for a sing -a -long led by Molly Cox. The Ethel and Molesworth Women's Institutes were hosts for the May Birthday Party at Huronview on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Gary Earl was emcee for the program which included violin selections by Norman B irnes accompanied by Cecil Bateman, piano solos by Grace Kemp and Marguerite Beirnes, readings by Mrs. .Earl and a sing -a -long.
