Two good reasons for taking Khrushchev‘s "peaceful coâ€"existence" line seriously are sugâ€" gested by J. B. McGeachy, writing in The Finâ€" ancial Post. One is his performance on Berlin; since 1958 he has been issuing and then withâ€" drawing ultimatums about a seftlement but the only practical result of his huffing and puffing up till now is a provocative but nonâ€"befligerent wall. The other reason is his quarrel with the beflicose Chinese who appear eager for a fight while he is not. Too much attention has been paid to the ranies of the American "radical right," Mcâ€" Geachy says, and not enough to serious, influâ€" ential Americans who rule out thermonuciear war, regard Russia as a formidable economic competitor, accept this challenge and believe that political settlements with Khrushchev are possible. The chances of peace on earth are improving, McGeachy writes _ _ e Maritime Britain has often regarded mounâ€" tainous Switzerland as the other bastion of poliâ€" tical harmony in Europe. Many Britons wish the same could be said of industrial relations. Durâ€" ing 1961 Switzerland, with its advanced "inâ€" dustrial peace" agreements between employers and workers. had a strike sheet that was clean. Not one hour was lost through disputes. Britain during the same period Jost 3.021.000 workingâ€" man days as a result of 2663 official and unâ€" official industrial disputes. â€" Collingwood Enterpriseâ€"Bulletin In Canada today the great majority of unâ€" employed citizens have a bleak outlook. Many of them didn‘t get to high school and the great majority of those who did had only a few years or months of secondary education. To top this off they did not acquire any trade or skill after their formal education. Thus it is the unskilled labourer, many of whom do not possess enough education for proper technical training, who are the real problem we must overcome. The Ontario Safety League urges all car owners to carry proper insurance. Without it a moment of carelessness or bad luck at the wheel could result in a lifetime of debt. Un: insured drivers, who pay an additional $20 under the new regulations before they can get a motor vehicle permit, are reminded that this payment does not give them any protection. They will still be fully liable for any damages awarded against them as the result of an acciâ€" dent. The $20 charge is an excellent move for the public goog; but it is an extremely poor gamble for the individual who chooses to pay it rather than buy insurance. Because unemployment is closest to home it must become the immediate battle in which our people must engage. We cannot buy ourâ€" selves out of our unemployment problem, alâ€" though the governments of this nation on alâ€" most every level have been trving to do a pretty good job at doing just that with our money. A study by the Canadian Conference on Education suggests that there are 2.000.000 Canâ€" adians that are "functionally illiterate". The report goes on to explain that "bold and adventuresome plans must be made for the socioâ€"economic health of the Canadian comâ€" munity. Educators today find themselves in a preâ€" earious position in Canada, Suddenly the nation in a single decade appears to be turning to its educational system for a solution to its great unemployment problem. In the same years our society has become increasingly complex and our need for superior methods, teachers. schools and universities is more and more apparent. "In many ways we cannot be satisfied with a patching up of customs and institutions that have served us satisfactorily / the past. New But not only is society demanding more from its educational facilities. but today we find our school system competing in interâ€" national politics. In other lands, where the direcâ€" tion of government does not come from free elections, dictatorships are openly boasting that their educational progress is a weapon they intend to use in their drive to overcome our civilization and thus our democratic way of life. The City of Waterloo has been "taken" for at least $25,000. The Onâ€" tario Water Resources Commission, which is a selfâ€"styled autotomicbody, has overspent its 1961 budget by this fantastic amount. When the OWRC was designated to take control of the secondary sewage station on Lincoln Road, City Hall set up one of its many committees to meet with the Commisâ€" sion whenever any problems were conâ€" froned. The committee met with the OWRC only four times in 1960, and did not meet at all in 1961. Net result: $25,000 overspent, and the voters have to pay for it‘ â€" PAGE TwWO CHANCES OF PEACE IN FUTURE A POOR GAMBLE IN QOTHERS‘ WORDS DIFFERENCE The Waterloo Chronicle, Wateriloo County‘s oldest Engâ€" lish newspaper, devoted to the interests of the City of Waterâ€" loo and Waterloe County, is published at 104 King.

SMITH, Managing Editor and Publisher D. G. HENDERSON, Assistant Editor C. KYER, Advertising Manager Until recently the only sound emitted by unmanned space vehicles was, to the best of our knowledge. a somewhat elementary "beep." But on December 12 Oscar (Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio) was launched in the US. and began calling "hi" (in Morse code) to ham radio operators on earth. The next deveâ€" lopment in this particular area of astronauts. we presume, will be a doll of a satellite capable of crving "mama‘" every time it passes over its launching base. A generation from now young men will expect their wives to serve them meals like mother used to thaw. It is essential therefore that all parents be apprised of the value of these new schools. It doesn‘t follow that just because a student is slow in academic subjects that he is without ability in other ways. It is to the advantage of these students, and their parents, that they have the chance to develop their skills to a maxiâ€" mum. One does not need be brilliant academiâ€" cally to earn a decent living provided what other talents a student may have are well developed. This will be of great advantage to them. They will graduate better prepared to earn their livings and to fit into society than if kept at regular schools. It also will be of benefit to the other students in the regular schools, beâ€" cause their pace of learning will not be reâ€" strained hy those less academically inclined. One trouble to be encountered is part to be with parents. Some parents are not prone to admit that their child is a slow learner. They are apt to blame it on the teacher or some other factor. Windsor is making another advance in its education system by planning to devote two schools, one for boys and the other for girls, to those who are not fast learners in the academic sense. These students will spend about half their time on academic subjects and the other half on development of their skills. To some extent our generation is finding that wars can be fought on different types of fronts. Today we must so equip our students that they will have the knowledge and ability to move into a world where many of the freeâ€" doms and responsibilities we have taken so much for granted are being challenged by inâ€" dividuals who are no longer illiterate, but well equipped and trained to speak for their own way of life. Our big battle to improve our own educaâ€" tional system is just beginning. We can only reach for victory when the least among us realizes the important part he or she can play by supporting the progressive programs in education which are beginning to be seen on the Canadian educational horizon. Our educational system must adapt itself with greater speed, if possible, to the new demands which are being placed upon it The very future of the nation depends upon our ability to finance and under stand the need for a great national effort in this direction. All men were not created equal. Each child brings into this world its own talents; its own ability to learn and its own potential skills. A system of education which treats all as equals is selfâ€"evident defective. But not only must we educate ourselves out of our unemployment problems, we must at the same time improve our methods of learnâ€" ing, our methods of teaching and the facilities which serve the student and the educators. It seems obvious in this age of rapidly expanding horizons that our students today must not only learn more, but they must learn better. With this City growing at its preâ€" sent rapid rate, twentyâ€"five thousand dollars will someday seem to be a drop in the bucket. But not now.
