Last year an arrangement had been made to have power sup- iplied through the United Cobalt Mine, which is closed down at the present time. Keith Valentine, president of the Club, has made arrange- ments to have a survey made next Saturday regarding ways and means of installing hydro and its cost and it is hoped that some volunteer labor will be forth coming to help with the installation. At the present, only the be- | sinners slopes are available for skiing. P C. Executive Meets At Englehart At a recent meeting of the PC Federal executive committee, our local candidate Foster Rice announced that construction jobs were opening up in Temis- kaming riding on the Northern Ontario Gas Pipeline, Mr. Rice stated that all local labor were being given priority and con- tractors were cooperating with the Kirkland Lake Employment office to obtain their labour force. Thus this will alleviate a good deal of the local unemiploy- ment. 5 : Those registered with the Un- employment office in Kirkland Lake should get in touch there for more specific information. With possibility of an early federal election, the committee expects that a party organizer will visit the district soon. Also with a view to keeping the pub- lic better informed on political events, a 'publicity committee was formed, as follows: J. Mav- rinac, Kirkland Lake; Messrs W. Bailey and J. White, Hailey- bury. Recent delays in dealing with unemployment insurance cases in this part of the riding should be taken care of shortly.

Higher Education For Students Discussed Catholic Parent Teachers As- sociation, held their general meeting Wednesday, January 16th, 1958, at 8\p.m., at the Holy Cross School with the president Mrs. George Lemay in the chair. After the business part of the meeting a panel discussion took place with the following persons forming the panel: Dr. W. Houghtling, (Director of St. Mary's San.) Moderator Panel- ists: Mrs. D. Hogan, Dr. G+, Knol, Michael wlarks Fr. Paquette, Subject: Higher Lducation tor our children. Kducation in the kuropean countries was dis- cussed, and it appeared that children in Austria and England complete the High school phaase ot their education at an earlier age than in this country. The question of whether a system of advancing the brighter child at a quicker rate could not be evolved, was discussed. iL Was Ie€ll Mat perhaps too much importance was velug put On scicnce that since the recent scienutic advances made by clher countries people here were becoming atraid that not enougn scientists were being produced. dt was telt that to excel in that one tield Was not sSatisiactory but a well rounded educationai programme ior all, and to at- tempt to channel each young person into the field itor which he or she were most, suited, would be more advisable, 'The question wa sasked whet- her or not intelligence was, in the majority of cases, inherited. it was thought that often a brilliant student has parents of superior intelligence, although there were many exceptions to this. lt was felt that many nor- mal or above normal children were often discouraged by their parents lack of interest in them, and that these children would appear in class to be almost re- tarded, have no initiative, and be rather with drawn from other students. It was urged that all parents encourage their children and above all show interest in the work the child is at- tempting. Some members felt that it was the parent influence in the home, coupled with present day culture that affects a young person, who, had he received suitable encouragement would have proved to be superior in- telligence and ability, although his parents were of average in- telligence. The attitude of the parent toward the child appear- ed to be the important factor. Statistics show that although 93% of children attend school from the ages of 10 to 14, and R 40% from 15 to 19, only 5% of young people between the ages of 20 and 24 attend university. It was found that it was not jand Rev. * Northern Light lodge Meets In Legion Hall The regular meeting of Nor- thern Light Rebekah Lodge was held on Wednesday evening, January 8th, in the Legion Hall with Sister O.

Then it was mentioned that the attitude of youngsters to- wards those who were intellect- nally inclined was sometimes that of ridicule, while a student who excelled in sports was held up as hero by both adults and students, It was felt that this attitude should be corrected in the home, and credit given to those gifted intellectually. The discussion was concluded by Rev. Father Pajuette saying that we should all try to excel in our own chosen field, to use our talents. to the best of our ability, and as parents 2ncour- age our children to keep up their high enthusiasm in their quest for further knowledge. Rey. Father Brunette thanked the panel on behalf of the P.T.- A..and the meeting was closed by the president. Tea was scrved by the Hospitality Committee.
