WEEKEND SPECIAL BEACHCOIVIBER HA (Exactly As Illustrated) AT THESE WHITE ROSE SERVICE STATIONS LOYD BUTLER HAROLD KING HURON STREET VICTORIA STREET (On Highway 8 To Goderich) (On Highway 4 To London) Educational OpportunitiCS In Ontario Many young farm people left school before completing their formal; education; that is pub.- .secondary and/or college ; or university .training, Most of them likely returned to the farm, others went into other work. Some would move, from the farm now if it weren't for the fact that they have insuf- ficient education for a trade or prefessional job. It was brought to the atten- tion of Ontario Federation of Agriculture members at their last meeting on May 4, 1961, that many young farm people are unaware of the educational. opportunities available to them. It was also stated that some Boards of Education are un- familiar with facilities on which they can receive grants. The OFA was requested to publicize the facilities and op- portunities available. The fol- lowing is a first step in this direction. The research was done and material prepared by Cecil Belyea, OFA Director of Research. yocafional Educational Opportunities in Ontario 1.ISpeClal Vocational Training This program is part of a federal-proyincial unpertaking deaigned- to train or retrain un- eMployed workers, Eligibility. — The applicant {male 'or female) must be over sixteen, and unemployed, whose opportunities for .gainful. em- plOyment Or degree of trade skill,. would be increased by a course of training. He, or she, Must be registered for employ- ment with the National "Ern- ployment Service but need not have been gainfully employed previously. Selection—Selection is made by representatives of the Pro- vince and National Employment Service. Anyone interested should contact the nearest Na- tional Employment Service Of- fice for information. Training—The training period is normally of six months dura- tion except for refresher cours- es . and courses in occupations requiring a shorter time. The maximum course length, how- ever, is 12 months, A minimum of 15 people must apply for a course, before tit is given. Full-time classes provide 27 hours of instruction weekly in private Or vocational schools and 35 hours weekly in special training centres. The work week under this provision is five to five-and-one-half days. Part-time classes may be given at the discretion of the Province under approval of the Federal Director of Vocational Education. The courses may be given in regular municipal or provincial schools, private trade schools or business colleges •an-, proved by the Province, and in special training centres estab- lished by the Province. A fur- ther provision encourages "training on the job" under agreement with employers when training in schools or training centres is not available. Wag- es of trainees under this plan are paid jointly by the employ- er and the government, the government's participation, how- ever, being limited to 12 months. Finally, courses may be or- ganized by the Department of Education at the request of a municipality as presented by its chief municipal officer and suggested by an advisory com- mittee comprised of representa- tives of industry, labour, the National Employment Service and others. An attempt is made by the Department of Educa- tion to comply with these re- quests using available facili- ties whenever possible. Where facilities are not available the federal and 'provincial govern- ments jointly may provide re- quired accommodation and equipment in order to offer the requested courses of study in such subjects as agriculture, mining and forestry. Living Allowance — Living allowances currently in effect are as follows: Single person: living at home, $2.50 per day; away from home, $3.50 per day. Heads of families: living at home, $4.50 per day; away from home, $6.00 per day. These rates apply when un- employment insurance benefits or welfare allowances are ex- hausted excepting where such benefits and allowances amount to less than the approved liv- ing allowance. In such cases the trainees would receive the difference. 2. Correspondence Courses The Department of Educa- tion provides correspondence courses, for Ontario persons through its Correspondence Courses Branch. These courses are designed for persons who are unable to attend school. More than 90% of all students enrolled are over 16 years of age. The courses offered in- clude academic subjects for -Grades 1 to' 13 and nixie trade courses in the fields of auto- motive mechanics, carpentry, machine shop practice, and radio theory and practice. Aca- demic cotirses are free to On- tario residents; trade courses are available to residents of all provinces at $10 a course. Students in these correspon- dence courses are prepared for Departmental examinations in the case of academic subjects and for certification in the trade courses. 3.

He not only uses them himself but has worked out a foolproof plan to make sure his passengers use them too. The belts in his car • are wired for sound. When the ignition is on the horn blows continuously until the passen- ger either buckles the belt or sits on it. So far, Garroway reports, he hasn't found a pas- senger who prefers to sit on a seat belt. Thomson Reunion.
