Editorial Topics Knowledge Explotion The knowledge explosion -of today has alienated many parents from their children and caused them to feel inadequate in handling youth problems from drop- outs to drugs. They are hesitant in dealing with their children. They get inferiority complexes because their kids. "know sQ much more than we did at their age," Surely the drug scene should convince parents that knowledge and wisdom are two different things and that young people generally show a lack of wisdom in handling their own physical, mental and moral welfare. Despite their technical understanding of this world, they are still looking for the fundamental human values from their home environment. Children feel lost in schools where they are ciphers in a giant system. They need to feel part of their families. . . to help with family chores . . . to do dishes rather than put dishes in a dish- washer . , . to run errands and to take a little respon- sibility in the family. An education minister speaking of the knowledge explosion recently said: "Knowledge fot its own sake is ultimately barren, and probably very dangerous. Men * with great knowledge of chemistry but little knowledge of biology have created the pollution problem that threatens the continuance of life on earth. Knowledge must be accompanied in some way by responsibility." It is at home that the child first learns responsibility. A parent doesn't have to be a "great brain" to teach simple decency, human warmth and a sense of responsibility to one's fellow human beings. Those scribblings you make during a phone call can tell something about you, according to psychologists. If you doodle animals or birds you are affectionate and understanding, they say. Arrows mean your goals are high. Checkerboards and- squares show logic and emotional stability, while boats indicate energy and a wish for freedom. Flowers and trees show loneliness, circles give away the daydreamer. . 2 PORT PERRY STAR COMPANY, LIMITED Serving Port Perry, Brooklin and 'Surrounding Are P. HVIDSTEN, Publisher : WM. T.

SR BILL SMILEY ER THE JOBS ARE THERE This year again, there is a terrible panic about students not being able to get sum mer jobs. It is amplified by the facts that general unemployment is steadily increasing, that a fairly heavy recession seems on the books, and that many companies are losing money or 9hing broke. My heart does not bleed for the stock: brokers and the financial wheeler-dealers. But the facts speak for themselves. The construction industry is in the doldrums. The Prairie wheat farmers are in bad shape. These two big sources of labor and income can knock our economy cockeyed, tempor- _ arily. But to get back to the students and their -. lack of jobs. Much of this 'wailing is pure hokum. I feel genuinely sorry for the student, who has tried earnestly to get a job, and failed. However, for most of the others, I couldn't squeeze a single tear. There is a job for 95 per cent of them, if they want one. But they want THE job. They want one like the old man has: Five days a week, coffee breaks, nothing demeaning, and good pay. They don't want a job, they want a sine- cure: Something where they can put in so' many hours and collect 50 much loot, whe- ther they're any muse or not; something where they can treat the job as an unfor- Sugar and Spice SEES Know what I wound up with? Two little Grade 13 girls, about five-feet-nothing. They wanted the money to buy clothes and work- ed like twin beavers. Did a better job than any boy I've ever hired. Blistered all hands. Right into the thickets to get the leaves. Filled 48 of the big plastic garbage bags. Any enterprising youth could make a killing cutting lawns on a contract basis. Capital expenditure would be about $75. He could make $15 a day without pushing himself. But that isnt very glamorous. When I think of my first job, cleaning latrines, scrubbing floors and polishing brass, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, $30 a month, you can understand my lack of sympathy. J --Toronto Telegram Syndicate Wanted For Murder tunate interruption of their fun time; and A 2 something that is not "beneath" them. This is not a blanket condemnation. I know a lot of kids who slug it out in dirty, tough jobs all through the hot summer months, while their more discriminating contemporaries lounge at the beach, hang around the streets, taunt the fuzz, and whine about a system which hasn't provided a ready-made job for them. This, by the way, is the same system which they constantly attack for being competitive. Afraid I haven't much patience with this lerge group. How many of the girls slouch- ing around in jeans, or dazzling mankind with their bikinis, have tried to get a job Y.as domestic help? All over 'the country women who can pay for it are scrambling for baby-iters, floor-scrubbers, human dish- washers and ironers, These kids could make about $1.50 an hour, with coffee breaks, a free lunch, and week-ends off. But this is below their dig- nity. They didn't go to Grade 12, or to university, to do housework. How many boys apply for menial tasks, even though they often pay well? Short- order cook; scrubbing floors in office buildings; tending gardens, mowing lawns. clipping hedges. Not many. The. hours ore too long, or the work is tog hard, or the sun is too hot. . I know. Recently, I wanted some kids to rake my lawn because I didn't have-time to do it myself. I offered the job to four of my classes, 60 per cent of them boys. Pav. $125 an hour. .They laughed at me.
