The Elgin Watch Co. has devised a very practical way in which to help students, and their parents, who wish to study either French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian or Japanese. Until May 31, 1962, they are offering a free course in one of the above foreign languages, with each purchase of an Elgin Watch costing $39.95 or more. The instruction is contained on four 10" records and in four companion manuals. John Cole, Thomhill Jeweller, who sells these smart and dependable watches, has already received favourable comments on the course, and has been told that they are particularly successful when a small group studies and practices conversation together.

In Eur- ope, which once sent us millions of immigrants, skilled workers are now in short supply. Canada is actually losing more people currently by EMigration than it is gaining by IMmigration. A Liberal government will offer all Canadians opportunities for training and education and em- ployment that will keep them in Canada, to make this the great country it deserves to be. In the period of change from old industrial ways to automated wa'ys, governments must help people to readjust. New skills must be taught, more and better specific education must be pro- vided. Better forms of social security must be devised. The Liberal Party has recognized this in its policies. When the Liberal Party was average rate of unemployment in three percent. Under the Conser they took over in 1957, the rate has To be fair about it, no Government (not even a Liberal Government) could in one fell swoop eliminate the tremendous impact of newly auto- mated industry. Not even in two fell (an old English word derived from an Old French word meaning “cruel, fierce”) swoops. But people con- trol machines, even electronic machines that take men’s jobs, and governments have a responsibility to help people meet the new problems brought by every age, especially this one. Automation, these days, gets blamed for al- most everything. When men are out of jobs, as hundreds of thousands of Canadians have been in the last few years, it is also customary to blame the Government. This makes more sense than blaming automation alone.
