¢Wlt Use your hands campaign starts FRANCISDANIEL NGAPORE Renter The Singapore government has launched use your hands campaign aimed at changing social attitudes and lifestyles of po ulation growing ac tcustome to luxury and com ort Eight years of unhindered economic rosperity and an in flux of ric foreigners Into the rapidly industrializing island republic have made the average Singaporean more classconscious than ever before He rejects manual labor in preference to clean soft white collar jobs because of their so cial prestige and often greater financial rewards Armed with brooms mops and buckets of soapy water Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yen and his cabinet colleagues in itiated the national campaign in all government schools The demonstration was to drive home the messa that unless Singaporeans anged their preLudice against blue collar jo there could be rampant unemployment in the next few years adversely af fecting the nations economy FEAR FOREIGN LABOR Officials fear that more and more foreign labor will find its way into the fastdeVelopln in dustries on the island ile more and more Singaporeans will find themselves unem ployed According to official statis tics Singapore is already am ploying more than 40000 work ers from neighboring countries especially Malaysia while an equal number of Singapore citi zens are on the labor ministrys unemployment list More than 60 per cent of the foreign work ers are in construction and nietalprocessing industries Lee pointed out that trans formation Iias overtaken the whole society unconsciously affected by rising income telcr vision the glossy advertise merits the tourists from wealthy countries It is side effect of the consumer society This process must be re versed he stressed Dirtying ones hands sweating and soilin ones clothes are ood for body and soul an more im rtant foroureconomy hea ded MAY WORSEN According to official esti mates Singapores unemploy ment problem might worsen in the next two years given the general lack interest among Singapore citizens to take up bluecollar jobs The Singapore International Chamber of Commerce tSlCCi said that more than 80000 new jobs have to be created before the end of the year And even if there is an ex pansion of employment in sec tors like construction tran sport public services and manufacturing the total of new jobs now in prospect during the next two years is only around 40000 which is less than half the target requirements ac cording totheSlCC This problem could be further compounded by the fact that foreign investment coni mitments in Singapores manu facturing industries have do clined sharply because of politi cal developments iii the region INVESTMENT DOWN The manufacturing sector at tracted only 2673 million Sing apore dollars about $107 Ilillv lion in l975 drop of 608 per cent over the l974 figure of 0784 million Singapore dollars The effecs of the 1975 do cline will begin to be felt this year the SItC warned Lee said that Siiiga iore had done well despite word reces sion but warned that this may not be possible the next time We must hold fast to the tried and trusted virtue of hard work he urged lhousands of students teach ers and principals responded to Lees call by sacrificing part of their holidays to perform man nal labor in their schools One teacher after cleaning the corridors of her school with group of students said The campaign must be taken so rioiisly Its concept is good and we must educate our young on national values Equestrians have shot at medals Ry IIUCK SVORODA The Canadian Press We lack the depth that would put us on an equal footing with some of the top European teams and the United States but if our front line stays healthy we have chance for some medals in equestrian events at the Montreal Olympics Assessing the team thats shaping up for the July Olym pics aiiadian equestrian team chairman Denis Whitaker sees possible medals in all three dis ciplines with the jumping team providing the most hope It was the jumping team of Jim Elder Jim Day and Tom Gayford that came through with surprise victory at the 1968 Olympics and provided anadas only gold medal at Mexico City Four years later at Munich the closest the Canadians came to medal was fourthplacc finish by Day in the individual jumping SEES IMIROVEM ENI But Whitaker sees improve ments in all areas since 1972 In the jumping think weve got pretty good chalice of doing something Whitaker says think weve got far bet ter horses than we had at Munlt ich where we wound up sixth in the Nations Cup Weve certainly got far better team than we had at the PanAmerican Games Weve got Synipatico which is probably one of the best jum ping horses in the world and Jimmy Day is pretty good pilot So think weve got rea sonably ood chance Theres so much uck involved in jum piii We should have had gold in at at Munich with little luck but we just didnt have the luck Pigeon No 831 first across LONDON Ont CPl After 41 hours band No 831 landed on its roost becoming the first at con to finish Peter nough Ontstolnndon race The pi eon owned by Art Moxley London was one of 2000 from the 16 southwestern Ontario pigeon racing clubs en ttttered in the 175mile race Terry Sheridan president of the London East Racing Pigeon Club said the race time was slow because the birds had to battle head winds Mr Sheridan who has been racing pi eons since he was boy in Ire and and since 1967 in Canada said races of up to 500 miles are held from May to Sep tember The biggest event this year will be race to London from the Montreal Olympics site July 17 An owner can breed for dis tance or speed said Mr Sheri dan The birds are trained from birth and start racing when they are about three months old The cost of pigeons ranges from few dollars to $100 but Mr Sheridan said bird sold in England last year for 325000 The fiveman jumping team picked after series of trials is Regardez with Elder aboard Count Down qith Ian Millar of Perth Outs Texas with John Simpson of Calgary Branch County with Michel Vaillan court of Hudson Que and Day Sympatico the horse pur chased by syndicate for $250 000 and handed over to Day for the Olympics is considered the best of the lot while Regardez purchased for the team by ocatfola Ltd is also highly regarded Youd have to say that on Syiiipatico Day has as good chance for an individual medal as anyone says Walter lady chairman of the team selection committee As far as the team itself is concerned Syinpatico helps be cause we can count on one good round If we can get some of our other combinations to go well theres no reason why Canada is not looking at the bronze IIIREI OALII Other factors that give the Canadian jumpers strength this year are the hiring of US coach arl Knee and naming of Elder as team captain The combination of arl Knee and Jim Elder is very powerful said Pady Jim niys depth of Olympic ex perience and his great team spirit and competitive nature will be of tremendous benefit to the young riders Elder 41 has been coin peting internationally since he wasls Knees expertise is devel oping horses anada has young horses that need help Its too late to change riding habits but Knee can help riders get the maximum out of their horses WELL OVER ceiitnr old this log house origiiiii Iy from Essa lownsliip Television set has changed life in Egyptian village Ry AIIMIID II ll SIIIIAFA IIgypt

the peasants to have chance to watch the cel ebratioiis commemorating the July 10F2 overthrow of the monarchy The government step came after electricity was introduced in Schafa and 300 other villages Up to now scvcii affluent peasants have purchased their own private sets out of popu lation of 3000 But Mahmoud llussein 58 has resisted all his sons pleas to buy set and said if he had the money he would buy water buffalo Despite opposition from the elders who are conservative by nature television quickly left its mark on the people of Se hafa about 35 miles northeast of Cairo Even the old wife

Middle East in the last car They have fetche prices ranging from £30000 $54000 to £300000 The biggest demand is for houses and apartments in central London and country houses with several acres near an airport or freeway The boom started 18 months ago when increasineg favor able investment rates for Arab purchasers coincided with many bargains at the top end of the property market Although real estate agents tend to be discreet in disclosing individual deals some of the more spectacular prices have leaked out For instance two Arab brothers paid £285000 for three twobedroom apartments in Londons fashionable Park Lane And man named Mo hanimcd Mahdi lajir acquired castle near Tunbridge Wells for £500000 house in London for £400000 anothr in Kingston Surrey for 00000 and Win dlesham
