It is interesing and not unrelaâ€" ted that the same bulletin carried the report of a rise in another set of statistics compiled by the Bareau â€" the average of heurly earninys in the manufzacturing industry. In the month of October this Tigure rose to $1.96. Annther increase in the costâ€"ofâ€" living index â€" to another allâ€"time high â€" _ has qust heen reported in the weekâ€" Iy hbulletin publishked by the Domimon Rurean of Statistics. The index, based on 1919 as 100, rose to 134.2 in Decemâ€" ber, up hy 1.7 per cent from a year earlier. First point concerned the seller‘s markup. Out of each dollar spent by the consumer for liquor. the report notâ€" ed. only 16 cents goes to the distiller. The federal and provincial governâ€" ments get the other 84 cents.

Are the benefits of the investment exclusively for the younger generation? What about the parents? Most of us expect to see our children and grandâ€" children mature, and we will receive pride from their achievements. But our adult generation should also benefit materially. A twin problem in our econâ€" omy is the surplus of unskilled workers and a scarcity of trained personnel for executive positions. School dropâ€"outs aggrevate this situation. What will hapâ€" pen if youngsters are not given incentâ€" ive to complete their highâ€"school edu« cation and to seek a college degree? The returns we expect are both intangible and material. We expect edâ€" ucation to make our children more inâ€" teresting people, more tolerant in their thinking and more responsible citizens. Materially they should have good jobs and a high standard of living. Several questions we might ask are: What benefits are received" Who is the recipient of these benefits, and how can our investment be used to guarantee the highest returns? Since this is Education Week, it is a good time to examine what we hope to gain from our investment in educ>â€" tion. Anyone investing money expects returns, increased value. This is not speculation, not a gamble; it is to be a sure thing. The investor expects beneâ€" fits to come to him or to his childrenâ€" Last week when Mr. Don Roberts, Chairman of the Kâ€"W High School Board presented the proposed budget to Waterloo‘s City Council he said, *"Let us consider these costs as an inâ€" vestment rather than as an expense."

Proportionately, the rise in the average factory wage was almost double the rise in living ensts, In terms of the DBS index, also baseqd on 1949 as 100, the average of weekly wages and salaries in all inâ€" dustries in Canada will average out at about 194 for the yvear 1963. In other words, while living costs have gone up about oneâ€"third over the past 15 vears, the increase in average pay in industry has been nearly three times as great. Second noteworthy point was the ofâ€" ficial explanation of the price hike. "*We need more money," an Ontario government official told the press. "It‘s as simple as that." There was a time when governments cut their coats to fit the cloth â€" a duty that now seems to be expected only of taxpayers. It might be suggested that taxpayers also asâ€" sume the duty of recalling, frequently and loundly, a comment made by the Roman philosopher Lucius â€" Annaeus Seneca about 1900 years ago. "Econâ€" omy." said Seneca, is in itself a source of great revenue." CJ.H: Therefore we might well paraâ€" phrase the statement of Mr. Roberts to read, "Let us consider our investment as a privilege not as a duty." An investor expects guarantees that his money will be spent wisely to increase the returns. However, singce there are differences in the personaliâ€" ties of investors. there are also differâ€" ences in their expectations. Some parâ€" ents are interested in immediate reâ€" turns. They like to see their money spent on elaborate buildings and luxurâ€" ious facilities so that they can point out to visitors, "See what we have done." Other parents want their investâ€" ment placed in things which guarantee the best longâ€"range returns. Their monâ€" ey is to be spent on wellâ€"educated teaâ€" chers, good references and textbooks, expanded libraries and better instrucâ€" tional facilities such as science and art equipment. To be able to have a share in the education of their children is not someâ€" thing accorded to parents in every socâ€" iety. A voice in the future of their offâ€" spring is not heard in every country. In nations where the government has exclusive control of the schools the parents may rightly regard their monâ€" ey as a expense rather than as an inâ€" vestment because they have no control or voice in the way it is spent. profits, the antiâ€"combines investigators would be in permanent residence. We as investors hope that giving our children the best instruction and making available to them the finest inâ€" structional materials will result in more educated people coming into the labâ€" our force. The quality of people will then keep pace with the quality of jobs.

In |some ways, their duties are now more vigorous than ever. The family conference is one illustration. us are aware that the increasing complexity nf modern living is undermining the unity and integrity of family life, depreciating spiritual values and sappng the morâ€" al fibre of the nation. "Our concern is not merely to deplore this situaâ€" tion, but to devise and implement a course of action that will inject new force and vitality into the family, and thus into the nation." If this session of Parliament is as constructive as these thoughts from Rideau Hall, prorogation time and family conference time next spring simultaneously could leave the nation with much that is good to think about. And of it, Govâ€"Gen, Vanier says in a special mesâ€" sage to this weekly newspaper: "During the past 35 years, as we moved about various parts of this and other countries af the Atlanâ€" tic Community, both my wife and 1 have heen impres~ sed frequently and forcefully by the vital importance of family life. \ Three hundred Canadians will attend to consider ways and means of strengthening family life The imâ€" mediate aim is to stimulate Canadians to a deeper awareness and a better understanding of the place a family holds in society. As a national forum, it will aim to renew a sense of responsibility for facing probâ€" lems arising out of contemporary social change. Various agencies and associations have extended coâ€"vperation. Hundreds of research workers, authoritâ€" ies, social and welfare groups and religious bodies are at work in the respective fields. They are examining the conditions and cireumstances of the family in Canâ€" ada, where it is going, how it might be helped. Four Canadian scholars will present reports on the family‘s present role. A wellâ€"known Canadian dipâ€" lomat, A.D.P. Heeney, presides as chairman of the study‘s national council conducting the planning.

She treasures a shawl given her by inmates of a Quebec women‘s prison she visited "because [ wanted to". Out of it all may come a continuing national study of family life in Canada, but that is in the future. The Vaniers have occupied their country‘s viceâ€" regal posting for four years. After many vyvears abroad, that is a long time in one place in Canada for them, long enough to think about the people and families they have met and their problems.
