GO BACK TO SCHOOL!
Parents ' and educational authorities are
concernet with the problem of inducing High
School youths to join the back -to -school move-
ment, with a.' view to continuing their second-
ary education. •
.School days are never glamorous to the
average youth 'and this attitude isaggravated
to the point of being a national problem by
the high wages earned with comparative ease
by these young students, as a result solely of
' • the war -time manpower shortages.
This easy eared big rnoiey - has lured
.many studentt; om'returning to their :studies.
In the U'nitodt :States. there . has been a drop
' of one million in high:school , attendance .since

The .long;

sties. It is well to know that Canada's greatest
source of c'r'ude oil, the Alberta Turner Valley
field, is producing 4000 barrels less daily than
a year, ago. Sixty percent of our imported crude
oil= has to .come by ocean tanker. The needs of
for example, jumped from • '5.5
'
aviation gas,
•
million gallons in 1939 to 176 million gallons
for the .year ending March, 1944. ' Our Royal
Canadian Navy uses 2 mullion gallons .of .oil
a week; it takes 10,000 gallons to move an arm-
oured, corps five miles, and .on top of this, just •
realize the needs of industry, and agriculture;
truly a staggering amount when totalled. So
plain joy riding 'is not justified.
