economist suntribune june 14 1989 cl9 upjo muster lieutenant colonel wa methven past commanding officer of the governor generals horse guards reviews the markham cadet corps saturday evening june 10 at the corps barracks on church street in markham pholosjoerd witteveen use imagination in choosing gift if youre like most grateful children youre apt to say it with gifts for father research shows that somewhat more is spent for dads gifts on fathers day than for christmas theres a lot of competition for available dollars at christmas time too a favorite gift choice for dad is something to wear by margin about two and half to one its not hard to fathom either because so often its mom who launders dads clothes and she knows what he needs most since dad often puts off buying what he needs in favor of a new pair of running shoes for one of the kids or a new piece of jewelry for mom fathers day gifts are gifts of need and rarely frivolous no matter how much he has or how little he needs despite the popularity of ap parel father can always use and parental leave for parents in vogue the time has come the issue of parental leave for young parents is not only a social pro blem it has deep economic and political implications it is being recognized as an urgent concern for many young women in the workplace it is also a concern with men who are filling in as parttime nurturer on a fulltime basis in many of the advance societies of western europe parental leaves are a fait ac compli they run anywhere from a couple of weeks to many months and as fathers assume their fair share of parental respon sibility many men are asking for eflual time with their spouses to help bring a newborn to the point where a professional service can take over over the past couple of decades the role of father has shifted from a kind of remote detachment to complete involve ment more mothers in the workplace about 50 per cent of whom have children under age three add up to an increased need for help at home this is where dad comes in like never before since the industrial revolu tion dad left home to work in the organzied manufacturing com plexes and the administration offices until that time dad was in charge of the rearing of the children the children followed him to the field the blacksmith or the workrooms of the guild while mother kept some semblance of order at home after dad had to travel far and wide to get to his work mother took over as nurturer chief cook and bottle washer disciplinarian and ofttimes tutor with the electronic age making it possible for dad and mom to work away from work the male influence may once again in crease dad is becoming more of a participant in family rearing rather than functioning only as a spectator with moral and ethical responsibilities thats why parental leaves for dad and mom are getting so- much attention and acceptance adoption of the concept in its en tirety may be years or decades away but little by little the idea is taking hold when it happens and it surely will look for the dads of tomor row to do just about anything and everything that mothers have been doing for ages often gets a fresh supply of after shave lotion or more expensive cologne today there are skin products that appeal to most fathers if your dad is a do-it- yourselfer a new set of power tools would be just the thing to make his day some of the new cordless models make power tools more portable and useful than ever lots of our dads go in for photography both as a hobby and a profession so if he has agood camera why not look around for some of the useful accessories that will expand the horizons of his picture taking if he has another hobby fathers day is the opportunity for you to supplement the sup plies he already has canada is sports crazy so whether dad participates or just speetates the range of gift op tions is just about unlimited you can add to his golf tennis fishing or jogging gear you can take him out to the ball game or give him seats for the fall football games if your purse is bot tomless you could go for a new setofgolf clubs you say he has everything does he have a watch encrusted with diamonds does he have a cashmere sport coat or even a new laptop computer or telephone for his car all you need is a desire and a bit of imagination the rest will be easy it must be easy because canadian dads will get about 70 million dollars in gifts by the time fathers day is over on june 18 v high tech a must for dad with more people employed than at any time in our history and unemployment rates down near an alltime low why is it that there still are so many deser ving dads out there looking for employment probably because so many of them are down on their tech this is just another way of saying that production and management changes and merger mania have left many an experienced breadwinner in the dust these dads need understanding and they need retraining they need help to bridge the ohasm from a production to a service- oriented society which puts a premium on computer literacy procare decorating ahiimih on kennedy rd 9400757 centre sssabbf cil cilux up to half price sale interior and
