Arrangements for the trip and supervision are being carried Education Has Value Above Money By LYMAN A. GIFFORD Mayor of Oshawa Yesterday summer stole silently away and autumn ar- rived in all its glory. September means that holidays are over, and that thousands of young Canadians are starting back to school, What better month could have been chosen to celebrate "Church and School Week" than this? When our forefathers came to this country, they built a home, a school and a church and in that order, Their lives were simple ones, catering only to the essentials. Today the business of living is a complex one and, in many homes at this time, the decision is being made as to whether the child shall go back to school or enter into some productive work. This decision needs the help of parents because it may af- fect a child's whole life; just as decisions by other Canadian teen-agers will affect the total life of our country. Remember- ing that education has a value above and beyond an immedi- ate return in dollars and cents, schoo] should be set on the same plane as home and church. Each day a boy and girl spends profitably in school, or each hour spent in Sunday School, will help them to under- stand their personal _relation- ships to the world and to the lin of Oshawa Horseshoe Title Oshawa Man Wins LINDSAY -- Dean McLaugh- Saturday cap- Bernard placed third with 74.7 marks.
