by HELENE BALLARD It seems like just yester- day that I turned in my col- umn, and here it is time for another one. Don't see any Primroses coming up yet, and as the groundhog saw _ his shadow, guess it's six more weeks of winter. Heck it's that, and more, who are we . trying to kid? Just came down from a visit to the quilting bee here at Birchwood. The quilt is really beautiful and I have been informed that it will be raffled at our Strawberry Tea in June. Would like to say '"Bon Voyage" to Lou and Syl Duquette who left today for 2 weeks in Barbados - and to any other of you nice folks who may be on the wing for warmer climates, enjoy and-bring back some of that nice warm weather. We welcomed Mrs. Mary Palmyre Waghorn this week as a new resi- dent, we hope she enjoys her stay with us. She is an ardent canasta player, and is already showing another resident how 'to play. BITE. I have been ask- ed once again to use my column to ask dog owners to please not let their dogs run around loose. I know many of you do this after dark, but the messy results are still the same. It's not very nice to step in dog do. Then, many times without knowing you have done this, you bring this into the house, so please folks, think of other people's feel- ings, and tie your dogs up. I understand there is a leash law in this town, so be good citizens and obey them - then we will all be happy. Thank you.

The dif- ferences of each personali- ty style were viewed as "gift differing" and were to be appreciated and used toward staff effectiveness and harmony. Each per- sonality type was also pro- filed as a leader or ad- ministrator, and as an educator. Several exercises based on case histories were con- ducted to see how members in a group interacted to reach a consensus.

On that score, the CFIB has. urged the federal government to establish na- tional educational goals, with a commitment to lifelong learning at the top. "Tt is a necessity for in- dividuals who hope to com- pete in a more sophisticated and limited labour market," Bennett says. It also makes sense in a society where most or all of the new jobs are coming from the formation of new small businesses, firms in which entrepreneurs must make use of a broad range of skills daily to make the | venture go. To that end, the schools would do us all a favour if they spent more . time educating for entrepreneur- ship and employment. in small firms.

And the changing nature of_that workplace is what makes the sound founda- tion in general skills so essential. "In 10 hears, many peo- ple, young and old alike, will be working in jobs that don't even exist today," says Bennett. "How can you train for them except by having good basic skills and enough flexibility to adapt?" That flexibility is critical, given that most of us will have to retrain for a new job at least once in Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 13, 1985, page 5 Forest Management Toronto -- _ Forest management, foreign com- petition and coping with the growing spread of spruce and jackpine budworm will be among the topics discussed by forest industry executives at the 42nd an- nual meeting of the Ontario Forest Industries Associa- tion at the Westin Hotel Feb. 14.

This summer's only train was originally put into service following the disconti- nuance of Canadian Pacific's second transcon- tinental train, the Domi- nion. The train was ordered into operation by the 'Canadian Transport Commission to provide year round service to the residents and tourist lodge operators in this area, which is virtually without direct highway service. The aim was to give these railway dependent On- tariahs adequate rail ser- vice without disrupting the operation of the transcon- tinental train, the Cana- dian, by making it handle the local business. The CTC specified in its order for the operation of the local train that it must provide 'baggage service adequate to handle the sup- plies and gear being carried into and out of the area by residents and tourists. It is the resort owners and tourists who are par- Greetings by MARY HUBELIT There was no Valentine from my: brother this year.

My birthday last Oc- tober was the first occasion when it really hit me - there will never ever be a greeting from Lyle again, remember? He died last August. Whenever the family could afford a party, his birthday-valentine party was a delight. Home- crafted decorations and gifts seemed to enhance the warmth of greetings from . friends. The plain oatmeal cookies Mother baked so often became stars, flowers, hearts, all bright with icing designs. The children's games were all indoors at that time of year, and I recall the usual pro- gram .leaned heavily on word games which, of course, kept the little monsters sitting in one place most of the time. Now on the other hand, my birthday was close to Hallowe'en. In those days children were allowed, within limits, to "get even" with adults who had bugged them a little in the previous year. A birthday party a few days before that often became a strategy session, a group of mutual- ly distrustful plotters bur- ning to tell their secret born January 30th.

The result of course was the eventual phasing out of birthday parties for Mary. I did get the cake and supper menu of my choice that day, but that was about all. As Life drifts past us, we all know Death. First, perhaps, a pet, or a special rose bush, or a bird in a cat's mouth, it gives us the feeling that something is wrong but will probably go on happening as long as we live. As we accumulate memories and collect the treasures Life allows, Death gradually fits in and is accepted, as stormy days must follow sunshine. In- deed, watching Nature's moods and laws will help us to adjust to the wrench of losing friends and loved ones. Go on, go on, meet each day with courage, with the unfailing certainty that there are many people out there who still need your special touch.

This train is now practically useless because the self-propelled rail diesel cars (RDCs) equip- ped with wide baggage doors, have béen replaced with similar cars without the capability to carry canoes and other oversized gear. Consequently, the Canadian has been handl- 'ing the canoe and oversiz- ed gear while RDC follows behind, underutilized. Because there is no reser- vation system for the Sudbury-White -- River Dayline or for the bagagge car on the Canadian, many tourists were turned away during the summer of 1984 because the baggage car on the transcontinental train was full and could not carry their canoes and fishing gear. VIA has clearly wasted money by running a train without a function. VIA should respond to the needs of tourists, resort operators and: residents along the Sudbury-White River route by returning the wide- doored RDCs. This train would also serve local needs better if it ran from the opening of the fishing season to the end of the hunting season. The current operation also makes the Canadian even slower than it was 30 years ago. Stopping a 17-car transcontinental train every few miles makes no sense. In order to serve isolation com- munities such as Biscotas- ing Transport 2000 Ontario feels it would be wise to once again have the local train run all year long. As it stands now, VIA's operation only encourages transcontinental and local passengers to avoid rail travel, where possible. e e*Zoatsg*t & oe mrs oe s<oe Le a eed eae \) ° 7 ¢ s * Y 4 @ e @ * e .
