Wednesday, December 11, 1935 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Irj LEARN A TRADE Once crusty buainess leaders advis- ed younic men to "learn a trade," In later years not many younK men have htt^ded that advice. "White collar" jobs have held more appeal than rug- (red labor with saw, hammer, mason's trowel or njachinist's tools. Young: men have preferred manicured nails and pressed pants to soiled hands and ov«» rails. But for some months now, the In- dustries have been scouring; their neiKhborhoods for men who have "learned a trade" and can wield a tool or run a machine, states the Milwau- kee Journal. Except for a short time durinK the depths of the depression, there has been a considerable demand for sltiUed men. Not that all were employed or could find jobs; not that none found himself cut from the payrolls and in need. Many did espei'ially in the buildinjt trades. But by and larjje it was the young men or the older man "with a trade" who first got back on the payroll. We need more skilled men. We neej more men with trades â€" men compet- ent to operate a tool and who are will- ini? to soil their hands. And we have in these United States, a tremendous surplus of white collar workers and common laborâ€" younpr men and old with no especial competence, the one Kroup able only to do the chores about an offii-p or behind a counter, the oth- er to swinir a pick or wheel a barrow. We neither .scorn nor condemn this army of unskilled workers. We ad- vise them, though, that there have been set up in our educational system many facilities to teach them trades, to make them skilled, to fit them for S(.me special work in life. And it oc- curs to us that, av we progress more deeply into tlie machine ago, the de- mand will glow for men who can function with tools or machines. To be sure, industry has a responsi- bility here. Unless it can provide its skilled workers greater assurance of job pernianaiK-y. better opportunities to rise in the business, and longer tenure of service, thoughtful young men will continue to be cynical a- bout it. Why learn a trade, devote years to acciuiring skill, follow the difficult course of craftnianship, if .vcu're as likely to be thrown out on .vnur ear as the least of the white collar clerks? Intelligent youth nuiy ask another question: "Who rises to the top? Who gets preference? Who most usu- ally 'makes the grade?' Is it the skill- ed worker in the shop or the boy in the white collar who sits close to the boss?" And youth may extend that (luestion: "What about the boss him- self? Did he learn a trade? Was he ever a skilled worker?'' They are fair questions. Yet it is iM'coniing apparent that we need more skilled men, fewei' unskilled. And as that fact impingss upon industrial leadership, as it now is impinging, it is likely that the future of the skill- ful will be made more secure, while the future of the unskilled is likely to become even less so.

I Nop- For a long time a good many people have been of the opinion that there should be an appropriate Memorial i a suitiible public iilace in the village bearing the names of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. It is admitted that the Memorial Park was acquired as a token of re- membrance but lacks in this resjiect. While arranging for the recent Remembrance Day service this matter was brought to the attention of the licard of Tra<le, who have enthusias- tically adopted the proposal for the er- ection of a Memorial, and appointed a committee to raise^ the necessary funds for the purpose. It is intended to appeal for public' subscriptions which will be published in The Flesherton Advance at inter- vals, and it is confidently hoped thatj before the observance of another Re-| membrance Day there w'ill be erected an iniprovisable record of the names of those from the Township of Art- emesia and the Village of Flesherton who left their homes, kindred and friends to embaik with high hearts on this great and glorious adventure. It is particularly requested that the names of this who enlisted for over- seas service from the Township ot Artemesia and the Village of Flesher- ton be forwarded to the chairman ol the committee, F. H. W. Hickling oi the Secretary-Treasurer, (J. A. .Mc- Tavish, as it is suggested that these names shall also be inscribed on the Memorial if funds and space permit.
