But the facts speak for them- selves. The construction indust, 'try is in the doldrums. The Prairie wheat farmers an in bad shape. These two big sources of labor and income can knock our economy cockeyed, temporarily. This year min. then: is a ter- rible panic about students not being able to get summer jobs. n is amplified by the facts that general unemployment is stead- ily increasing, that a fairly heavy mebsion seems on the books and that many companies are losing money or going broke. My heart does not bleed for the stockbrokers and the finan- cial wheeler-dealers. But to get back to the students and their Jack of jobs. Much of this wailing is pure hokum. I feel genuinely sorry for the student who has tried earnestly to get a job and failed. However, for most of the others, I couidn't squeeze a single tear. There is a job for 95 percent of them, if they want one. They don't want a job, they Want a sinecure: Something where they can put in so many hours and collect so much loot, whether they're any use or not; something where they can treat the job as an unfortunate inter- ruption of their fun timerand something that is not "beneath" them. _ But they want THE job. They want one like the old man has: Five days a week, coffee breaks, nothing demeaning and good pay. , This is not a blanket condem- nation. I know a lot of kids who slug it out in dirty, tough jobs all through the hot summer months, while their more dis- 1triminating c o n t e m p o r aries lounge at the beach, hang around the streets, taunt the fuzz and whine about a system which hasn't provided a ready-made job for them. This, by the way. is the same system which they constant- ly attack for being competitive. I Il,ra'.sis", .._-;: _ .2. "b' ' sa ‘ 1W a ' " ' Re b " 1 str. "-1 " _ “23' ' M 32);: gltr, ' - .

How many of the girls slouching around in Jeans, or dazzling mankind with their bikinis, have tried to get a job as domestic help? All over the country, women who can pay for it are scrambling for babysitters, floor-scrubbers, human dishwash- ers and ironers. These kids could make about $1.50 an hour, with coffee breaks, a free lunch and weekends off. But this is below their dignity. They didn't go to Grade 12. or to university, to do housework. How many boys apply for men- ial tasks. even though they often pay well? Short-order cook; scrubbing floors in office build- ings: tending gardens. mowing lawns, clipping hedges. Not many. The hours are too long, or the work is too hard, or the sun is too hot. _ I know. Recently, I wanted some kids to rakeuny lawn be, cause I didn't have time to do it myself. I offered the job to four of my classes, 60 percent of them boys. Pay, $1.25 an hour. They laughed at me. Heartily, but with- out malice. Know what I wound up with? Two little Grade " girls. about five-feet-nothing. They wanted the money to buy clothes and worked like twin beavers. Did a better job than any boy Tve ever hired. Blistered all hands. Right into the thickets to get the leaves. Fil- led 48 of the big plastic garbage bags. Any enterprising youth could make a killing cutting lawns on a contract basis. Capital expendi- ture would be about $75. He could make $15 a day without pushing himself. But that isn't very glamorous. When I think of my first job, cleaning latrines. scrubbing floors and polishing brass, 12 hours a day, seven days a week, $30 a month, you can understand my lock of sympathy. John A.

Ours is not a lucky border area and I question whether Canadians should fur- ther lavishly subsidize the train- ing of entertainment aspirants for export. To be consistent, maybe Mr. Berton's Interview of celebrities should abide by the 60 percent restriction-also Front Page Chat. longe. JOHN GILBERT, Hanover.
