TEACHER DISCUSSES EDUCATION
AND OCCUPATIONAL TRENDS
(By Mr. A. Dobson)
During the past decade or so
many changes have taken place
jn the employment field, chang-
es such that unskilled and semi-
skilled jobs now represent only
30 per cent of all employment
in Canada. This over-all change
has been referred to by some
as a revolution.
Space here does not allow us
M discuss all of the sixteen
ARCHIE DOBSON
groups of occupations (Canadian
Census Bureau classification),
so only several have been chos-
en to try to illustrate trends
in the world of work,
Many of you have seen re-
cent changes, even locally, in
agriculture. Changes in meth-
ods, plus mechanization, have
been such, in Canada as a
whole, so as to reduce the ratio
of ane agricultural worker in
five, to one in eight during the
period from 1950 to 1960.

sive team -

0-7-0

Tertiary 0 0 0
0—Defensive ends
2—Defensive tackles
3—Centre guard
The linebackers on the out-
side are called corner lineback-
ers; those on the inside are
called middle linebackers. The
players in the tertiary defence
are called defensive halfbacks,
and guard against pass receiv-
ers.
In industry, changes in pro-
duction methods and automa-
tion have increased the need
for engineers, skilled techni-
cians and tradesmen—special-
ists—to design, set up and main-
tain automatic or semi-automa-
tic machines of many kinds.
Office occupations have
changed too. In the future in
this field the demand will ap-
parently be for such people as
programmers, computer opera-
tors and maintenance techni-
cians, although standard office
occupations, such as stenogra-
pher, typist and office -machine
operator, will continue to be
important.
As one appraises other fields,
demands will probably occur
for skilled workers in the fol-
lowing: atomic energy, electron-
ics, chemical processing, bank-
ing and insurance, to mention
but a few,
With an increase certain to
take place in our population,
we shall have to have more
food, more housing and more
medical and dental care. We
shall need then agronomists,
soil scientists, home econom-
ists, skilled craftsmen in the
building trades. doctors, den-
tists, psychiatrists, laboratory
technicians, among others to
provide for our basic needs.
What then of education? In
February of last winter, when
unemployment was reportedly
at its highest point, only eight
per cent of those unemployed
had a secondary school educa-
tion or higher. This meant, of
course, that 92 per cent of those
unemployed had 'less than a
complete secondary school edu-
cation.
The point we have been try-
ing to make is this: The indi-
vidual who is specifically train-
ed for some future vocation—
be it in agriculture, in industry,
in business and .finance or in
the professional field, is the
one most likely to be sure of
steady and satisfactory emj;loy-
ment. Therefore, it is to each
person's advantage to obtain
the highest level of education
and training his or her natural
ability will allow.
Hold Hayride
(By Torben Haarbye)
Even though the weather
looked bad in the afternoon, it
cleared up at night and the
school was able to have its hay -
ride after all.
So at 9:30, after the wagons
had arrived, we started out.
Riding along on the county
roads and sitting on bales, the
students soon started to shiver
and by the time we had return-
ed everybody was freezing, but
nevertheless everybody had a
good time.
After the hayride we return-
ed to the school and danced un-
til 12:20. Then we had a late
lunch or an early breakfast
(any way you like it). Every-
body went home filled to the
brim; I am sure everybody en-
joyed himself.

Recall Highlights
Of Belleville Trip
(By Carolyn Hammond)
The big day was Friday, Oct.
6, After a few slight delays
had been overcome, we began
our 250 (approximately) mile
journey.
Everyone was going to sleep
on the way down (so they said),
but that didn't last too long. I
don't think any other 36 girls
could make as much noise, both
singing and talking, as we did.
One of the first things hand
girls think of is their stomachs,
so we stopped at a little res-
taurant just the other side of
Whitby, where we stocked up
on food to keep us going to
Belleville.
We arrived in Belleville
around noon and were each im-
mediately given a Huron Coun-
ty hat to wear. We changed in-
to our uniforms and went to
eat luch. We finished our lunch,
gathered out instruments and
made a recording for a group
of men from West Germany.
These same men took pictures
of us in the parade a little
later.
The parade was scheduled for
1:30 p.m. It seemed to be miles
in length. When •it was over,
we had some free time (more
time to eat), but came back a
little later to do some drills.
When they were over and Mr.
H. had taken his bows, we got
into the bus and headed for
the hotel.
When we reached our rooms
and became established, we
suddenly realized that there
was one poor young fellow
dwelling on our floor also. If
he got any sleep at all that
night, he was mighty lucky!
As guests of the City of Belle-
ville, we went to a banquet in
the Armouries at 7:00 p.m.
They allowed us to leave the
banquet early considering the
time we had to get up that
morning.
When we reached the hotel,
we changed our clothes, went
down the street to gather in
some food for the night, and
then either went to the show
or stayed in our rooms. When
everyone had returned for the
night, we congregated in two or
three rooms and drifted back
and forth until 4:00 a.m. Upon
the suggestion of the manager,
everyone went to her own room.
At the unearthly hour of 8:30
a.m., four girls (whose names
I will not disclose) came bar-
relling down the hall. Their
reason was: "We were awake!
It was 8:30, so we decided to
wake everyone else!" What
horrible reasoning! By this
time we were all in the hall
with our eyes propped open.
It seemed we had been eat-
ing half the night, but from
force of habit we tripped down
to the dining room about 9:30.
We then went back to our
rooms to straighten up the
debris, loaded the bus, and left
for the tented city.
Our first stop was the restaur-
ant where we had a light snack,
after which we piled onto a
tractor -drawn wagon and went
out to the fields where our
boys were plowing, to give them
some encouragement. When we
reached the tented city again
we played another parade and
immediately afterwards started
for home.
On the way home we ate at
Preston, and then began the
final part of our journey. It
was quite a thrill to roll into
Seaforth and see people wait-
ing there for us. After playing
up Main Street, many of us
tumbled home to bed, • while
the braver ones went to Teen
Town, or some other such ac-
tivity.
We al] had a wonderful time
every minute, although we
spent most of them eating.
I'm sure it will be a memory
which will remain with all of
us for many years to come,
We would like to thank our
two chaperones, Mrs. McTag-
gart and Mrs. Strickler — Mr.
Plumsteel and Mr. Hildebrand
for putting up with our antics.
We enjoyed their presence very
much.
Hobby Column
(By Torben Haarbye)
Do you have a hobby? As
many people of today, you will
probably have one. The pur-
pose of this column is to dis-
cuss the various hobbies avail-
able.
We will start the hobby col-
umn with the hobby of stamp
collection. This is a very in-
teresting hobby, as you can
learn about all sorts of coun-
tries and their customs by just
looking at the pictures.
To start a stamp collection
you need, first of all, a stamp
album and some stamps, and
after this you can get what you
need a little at a time.
Of course there is more to
stamp collecting than just gath-
ering a few stamps and stick-
ing them into anything avail-
able, and then justNforgetting
about them (as lots of stamp
collectors are inclined to do).
You will have to get some of
the new stamps as they come.
out, and you will have to "dust
the collection off once in a
while."
You must have by now the
impression that this hobby is
all work, but it isn't, and if you
are lucky it may turn out to be
a profitable hobby, and through
the wonderful hours you have
spent on your collection you
will certainly have gained some-
thing worthwhile, so you win
any way you look upon it.

Teacher Profile
Ex - student,
Now Teaches
PT At SDHS
(By Joyce Storey)
First of all I would like to
extend a hearty welcome to
another new member of the
staff.
Miss Hazel Slavin is certain-
ly no stranger tp local folk, as
she was born and raised just
south of Seaforth. Her entire
public school life was spent at
SS No. 10; Tuckersmith. SDHS
is very familiar to Miss Slavin
as she spent her high school
career walking these very halls
and visiting these very class-
rooms each day. From High
School she entered the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario in
London. When graduating, she
received her B.A. with a major
in geography.
Her career in teaching began
at Libely School, near Sudbury,
where she taught for three
years. Following this she taught
in Barrie and then returned
here, where she teaches grade
10 geography and girls' physi-
cal education.
Miss Slavin enjoys all active
sports and encourages all girls
to participate in them.
In the line of hobbies, she
occupies her spare time by rid-
ing her horse.
When I questioned her about
plans for the future, she just
smiled and said, "They are in-
deed very indefinite." She is
very fond of teaching here and
we wish her all the luck in the
world with her forthcoming
plans, whatever they may be.

Now's the time to fertilize
your birdsfoot trefoil to get its
highest yield next year, sug-
gests Prof. Tom Lane, OAC spe-
cialist. Use a 8-16-16 or a 5-20-
20 analysis and apply at least
200 pounds per acre on one or
two-year-old stands, Topdress a
new seeding with the same an-
alysis at the same rate to give
it a boost and strengthen the
stand for the winter, Older
stands respond well tp fertil-
izer but may not require any
nitrogen. If you plan on spring
fertilization, apply at least 200
pounds per acre of 10-10-10
early in the spring.

Apple is Tops
For Eating
For genuine eating pleasure
no fruit can equal the Cana-
dian apple. In it, nature has
achieved a masterpiece—beau-
ty of form and color, appetiz-
ing aroma, crisp juicy texture
and delicate flavor. Canada's
climate is especially suited to
the growing of apples and to
Canadians the apple is their na-
tional fruit.
McIntosh—deep, rich red, the
most popular variety grown in
Canada,
Fameuse (Snow)—bright red,
medium size.
Jonathan—bright red with
greenish yellow patches.
Cortland—large, red; good
for both eating and cooking.
Good cooking apples include:
Wealthy—red, with green and
yellow stripes and splashes.
Ribston — yellow, overspread
with dull red.
Gravenstein—red with yellow
stripes.
Greening — bright, yellowish
green.
Apples should be kept cool
at all times in order to keep
their firmness and crispness. In
the home they should be stor-
ed in the refrigerator or in a
cool, humid room.
