| Blue And White Week (The Legion "Give hope. Give through United Appeal." This was the challenge that faced W.C.V.S. during its camâ€" paign week from the 17th to the 25th of October. This was the urgent plea that the‘ Weston students endeavâ€" oured to answer. We set our goal at $1200.00 and we surpassed it. How? It took ideas, hard work and monâ€" ey, and we enjoyed it all because we realized the imâ€" portance of the Uniteqd Appeal to everyone. Class projects also boosted our total. All these varied activities really kept Mr. Ferguson busy and he did a great job as usual. There was a carâ€"wash, a book sale, shoeâ€"shines, candysales, a movie, and even a car smash. The hockey game between one Grade 12 class and the teachers made the N.H.L. teams look like amâ€" ateurs. There is a rumour spreading throughout the school that the female player on the staff team was begged to play for the Leafs! Luckily she refused beâ€" cause she couldn‘t stand to leave us. Both students and teachers enjoyed and took advantage of these fundâ€" raising efforts. Great emphasis was placed on personal donation. Pledge cards were distributed to every student in the school and he pledged the amount he wished to donâ€" ate. It was these individual contributions that formed the backbone of our campaign. 1 Another big project which proved to be a huge success was the United Appeal Revue staged by the Grade 13 classes. With the guidance of Mr. Pardy and Mr. Dally, they planned and rehearsed diligently after school, polishing up their acts. On Friday afternoon, students who were unable to make the evening perforâ€" mances attended the dress rehearsal. That evening the big show was performed before a full house. We really must thank the staff members who assisted backstage. The comic skits, the boys‘ fashion show, the boys‘ canâ€" can all the funny acts made the audience roar with laughter. The singing groups and the instrumental acts, such as the jazz group, showed what great talent lies hidden in the masses at Weston. After the show the Student Council sponsored a dance. Everyone, stuâ€" dents, parents and teachers â€" enjoyed the show immenâ€" sely. As one parent put it. "It was worth every penny and more!" ; Last Friday I had a very pleasant lunch in the Parliamentary Dining Room with North York Reeve Norman Goodhead and we discussed a n um ber of things that are in the interests of the Township. You may be sure that Norm and I talked with some nostalâ€" gia of the days on North York Council when we were colleagues and fairly new in the experience of Municiâ€" pal Affairs. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that time but our friendship has continued. Immediately before having lunch with your Reeve, I attended a meeting Chaired by the Minister of Health and Welfare, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Veterans Affairs which was convened to hear a Submission by the Metroâ€"Toronto Executive Committee in connection with Hospital Grants for Metroâ€"Toronto. As you all know this subject is of exâ€" treme importance to York Centre Riding and I hope to play my part in assisting the Government to arrive at an answer which will be satisfactory to North York and Metro â€" Toronto. Campaigning for the United Appeal was an enâ€" joyable and satisfying experience for all who particiâ€" pated. Together the students of W.C.V.S. raised $1925. We know this money will give hope to many others through United Appeal. It is quite a delight to have received your congratâ€" ulations on the occasion of our citizenship. We can asâ€" sure you that we are all very proud of it and we will wrasp every occasion to show how happy and proud we are. This feeling of gratitude and pride makes it so hard to understand that so many new Canadians and also old Canadians show often such an indifference toâ€" wards Canada as our country andâ€"or are bashful to defend this country when it is minimized and offended. I believe that a national purpose is lost or at least for a great many of Canadians and that efforts should be made on every level to emphasize that national pride is appreciated. That indifference will be frownâ€" ed upon and that extreme cases will be punished. This will revive a national purpose; it will benefit our country, our national image abroad. I hope I will not be accused of just filling up space by quoting from correspondence which I receive but the following letter which I received from one of our new citizens is so good that I felt you would want to read it: Mr. J. E. Walker, Chief Government Whip, House of Commons, Ottawa. Dear Mr. Walker: A strong stimulant, I would like to make this sugâ€" gestion, is to break with the habit of only bowing our heads when ‘O Canada‘ is played on official occasions, and let the crowd sing it with full lungs of air. I am pleased to inform the residents of the follâ€" owing streets that I have been advised by the Postâ€" master General that as soon as the necessary Staff adâ€" justments are completed they will have home delivery service: Rockford Road, Rockford Drive, Stonedene Blyd., Robin Grove Road, Cedar Croft Blyd., Torresdale Ave., Sunnycrest Road. ‘ James E. Walker, M. P. for York Centre. This active expression of our love and homage will do much to instill a sparkle of pride instead of inâ€" difference for this beautiful, big and bountiful country.

He explained the need for the school addition and gave a verâ€" bal tour of the school with its addition. There are now 24 classrooms, one portable, two kindergartens, a reference lib rary and a regular library, three offices instead of one and a new staff room. There is even a specâ€" ial room for a teacher to inâ€" struct small groups of students in special facets of the school curriculum. Briefly there were several messages Mr. Wall had for the parents. One was that there are some 800 students at Calico Drive School now and if a child is absent for illness it is not necessary to call the school as the number of calls per day is relatively high anyway, .and when the colds and communicâ€" able illnesses hit our area the school phone is jammed. It is sufficient to send the child back to school with a note when he is well.

CopATu "Sincere Service To Sincere Customers" # 1978 WESTON ROAD 9. d --’. x + Industry today is demanding a much higher level of education among its workers. Some jobs which reâ€" quired very little formal education a few years ago now call for high school graduation. Many other jobs require some technical or professional training as well. This is due to technological change and the use of elâ€" ectronic and similar machines. As a result of these changes, there is an increasâ€" ing number of career opportunities. Qualifications inâ€" clude sufficiently high academic standing and a clear interest in the type of work or product. In other words, employers are becoming more interested in leisure time activities, hobbies and the career that the prosâ€" pective employer has in mind. Present indications are that this demand for additional information, on the part of employers, will increase rather than decrease. Government at all levels has recognized the need to develop the abilities of those members of the labour force who are finding it more and more difficult to obâ€" tain and hold gainful employment. This is especially true where the problem lies in insufficient skill or training or the need to adapt to new methods, new products, or new equipment. Team Standings Our own local problem is agâ€" gravated by the phenomenal growth of industry which, proâ€" portionally speaking, is outâ€" stripping the population growth, at least temporarily. Industries which are quite new to this arâ€" ea are searching for staffs and many of the established firms are expanding. The result is an enormous need for help in a wide variety of occupations and industries. In the face of this shortage, the training programs being offered by Government and by private firms are assumâ€" ing greater and greater importâ€" ance. The use of refresher courses for persons who have left the working force and wish to reâ€" turn, or further training which may open the door to more reâ€" sponsible work, and of course which are related to a trade or occupation which may be obsoâ€" lete â€" all these methods (and more) are being applied in the present situation.

The need for production is rising, with many firms, to the point where the "second shift" is necessary where it was nevâ€" er considered before. In some inâ€" stances offices are using this method to meet factory deâ€" mands, and, of course, this offâ€" ers employment to many whose home or other responsibilities prevent their considering dayâ€" time work.
