New Courses
At Ridgetown
Two new elective courses -
Welding, and Crop conditibning
and Processing - were offered
for the first time this year at
the Ridgetown College of Agric-
ultural Technology, a branch
of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food.
Mr. Mel Sojak, of the Eng-
ineering Division of the College,
reports that the Welding course
is now offered to a limited num-
ber of students. The welding
program concentrates on giving
students a comprehensive know-
ledge of welding equipment and
its use.
"We don't turn out master
welders, " said Mr. Sojak, "but
we do ensure that the students
will have a sufficient knowledge
of the techniques involved so
that they can do their own farm
welding."
Both oxyacetylene and arc
welding equipment is used.
Safety is stressed at all times.
Welding is evaluated by experts,
and though there is some lect-
uring, most of the course work
is practical.
The Crop Conditioning and
Processing course is given in
the fall to prepare for the har-
vesting season. Methods of stor-
ing grain, cribbing corn, proc-
essing and handling high moist-
ure corn, and the principles of
bin storage are studied.
Students are taught the theory
of drying in batch -in -bins, por-
table and continuous driers.
Correct storage of grain with
proper temperature control,
screening processes, and the
maintenance of all storing and
processing equipment is cov-
ered. Methods of grinding and
mixing rations for livestock,
hogs and poultry, using blend-
ers, hammer mills, and roller
mills are taught. Field trips to
study storage and processing
methods are arranged frequently,

The International Scene

SWEDEN DOES HAVE
PROBLEMS
We have been having a look
at the Scandinavian countries,
and I am going to finish up by
looking at the country where we
started - Sweden. It is the most
prosperous of all the European
countries, even more so than
Switzerland. Like Switzerland
it places a heavy emphasis on
large well-prepared military
forces, Both countries were
neutral in the two world wars
and both countries stick to the
policy of remaining neutral in
the military alliances, which
may account for some of their
prosperity.
Like most advanced countries
such as Canada and the United
States, the problem of labour vs
management looms large. How-
ever, unlike either Canada or
the U, S., Sweden has been able
to solve it to a remarkable de-
gree. In that country the nat-
ional federation to which all
trade unions belong has the last
say in the matter of wage de-
mands made by the individual
unions. No union is allowed to
make demands which, if they
were granted, would have in-
flationary effects directly, or
would cause a chain reaction of
wage increases having these in-
flationary effects. Since the
trade unions in Canada and the
United States have been reluct-
ant to admit the inflationary
effects of sharp wage increases,
the chances of something like
the Swedish model being set up ii
in Canada is very remote. I
think it's aity since it would
not be as difficult as might
appear. Certainly there 'are
enough responsible people in
the unions to make it work.
Almost all Swedes, and in
fact almost all Scandinavians,
are Lutheran, which is the state
religion in the three countries
I discussed. The churches in
all three countries are almost.
empty. This does not, I feel,
signify that the population is
not religious, but simply that
organized religion does not
play an important role in their
life. To be honest, I have
found that interest and partic-
ipation frequently drops off if
there is a state religion, while
in countries such as Canada,
there is a far greater interest in
the Church. Perhaps the rel-
atively rapid achievements of
materialism in Sweden has driv-
en out religion. It is almost as
if the Welfare State had be-
come the state religion and that
the teachings of the Church had.
been replaced by the Swedes
own version of humanitarism.
There has been a considerable
amount written about the high
incidence of suicide in Sweden,
but, although it is high, it is
not as bas as has been made out.
It is higher, for example, in
Hungary, Switzerland, Finland
and Austria, If it can be blamed
on the Welfare State, it is be-
cause this has given the Swedes
the wherewithal to kill them-
selves, i.e. the facility with
which barbituate sleeping tablets
can be obtained. While we are
on the topic of dying, it is in-
teresting to note that the Amer-
icans are nine times more likely
to kill other people than either a:
the Danes or the Swedes. In one
year there was only one murder
in Copenhagen. Just one!
If any reason for the Swedish
suicide rate can be given, it
may be because the Swedish men
are supposed to have a streak
of mysogynisrn, which often
gives rise to tension and thence
to suicide. The Swedish male
is often not emotionally in-
volved with his wife and family,
he throws himself into his work, a?
which becomes a rat race, and
this also leads to tension. Given
the Swedish propensity to bottle
up emotions, it can be under-
stood why some resort to suicide.
In short, Sweden does have
its problems, just like other
countries Valhalla in some ways
it may be, but most Swedes will
admit that there is plenty of
room for improvement.
