Jobs for miners, loggers and Equally significant. in the blue collar category. the number of“ jobs where nractically no skills are need- ed. declined by 10 per cent. This is so desnite a LIZ-per cent increase in the total work force. ‘ ‘ Significantly. within the white collar category the most rapid ex- pansion of jobs is taking place where the skill requirements are highest. The professional and technical group. for instance, rose by 67 per cent during the decade. Clerical iobs in~ creased by 47 per cent. sales jobs 83 per cent. It now takes a lot more than a fittle reading, a little writing and a little arithmetic to pave the way to job security. 1n the relatively short period of 10 years, the dramatic expansion of white collar jobs has revamped this countryfs entire emoloyment struc- ture. At the time of the 1951 census. jthere were 1.762.000 blue collar jobs and 1,690,000 white collar jobs. By ‘1961, blue collar was up 16 per cent to a little over 2.000.000 but white collar leaped 43 per cent to 2,413,000. “This should not become a political football. I personally think theJeader- ship should come from OlltSlde the council as did the arena committee when it began with just a handful of interested men,” he said. This could be handled either through payroll deductions where the citizens work in Richmond Hill or through their banks where a $1 deduction a. month would hardly be painful, he said. Mr. Murphy maintains what is really needed immediately is an individual to head a pool committee. “Surer among the 500 names on the original petition asking council for a pool. there is the beginning of a committee and a single person to lead it." He is against any tax levy which he says will impose a real hardship on old aged pensioners and create resentâ€" ment on the part of the general public whose feelings against too-high taxes might scuttle any pool plans once and for all. Richmond Hill Councillor Tom Murphy is pumping for the pledge sys- tem as a method of financing the pro- posed town pool. Subscription Rate: $3.530 per Finance Pool On Pledges? "With 4.700 homes here. not in- cluding apartments. a donation of $5 a month for 12 months would provide a proper. outdoor pool suit- able for the needs of this commun- ity.” he said.

They also make it crystal clear that today’s youngster who has no skills of substance will be to- morrow’s unemployed man. Dr. Overgaard noted that seas- onal shortages of water are getting more serious and there are indica- tions that the whole of southwest- ern Ontario will be faced with a chronic shortage unless early action is taken to make available the vast reservoir of water from the lakes. To get it down to four per cent, at least 800,000 new jobs will be needed between now and the end of 1966. Inland communities now must rely on artesian wells as a source of water. Richmond Hill which lies between Lake Ontario and Lake Simcoe, two of the largest bodies of fresh water in Canada, will within a matter of weeks have five wells in operation â€" water restrictions which have been applied during the hot weather will be lifted when the number five well comes into pro- duction. Richmond Hill will then have sufficient water for its needs and to provide water for the new hospital, for commitments to Mark- ham Township and for foreseeable development for a few years. Future wells and mains to bring the water into the tow system may well cost from $75,000 to $100,000 or more, each. Each well will supply only a limited amount of water daily, whereas there is almost an unlim- ited supply in the Great Lakes. This means that to cope with the teenage influx and scale existing unemployment down to more respect- able levels. the Canadian economy will have to produce about 175,000 new jobs a year for the next few years. If we only create as many in the next four as we did in the last four (500,000), unemployment will he a destructive eight per cent of the work force. fishermen were fewer at the end of the decade than at the beginning. The big shift from blue collar to white collar is taking place at a time when the teen-age products of the postwar baby boom are about to explode into the labour market by hundwo‘s of thousands. Betweeh 19611 "and 1965; the teenage population will be rising 18 times as fast as it did, on average. in the two decades 1935-1955. With the co-operation of bank man- agers, a system of authorized deduco tions from accounts was also success- ful. As it worked out, for the required $51,000 needed to build the pool, only Most of the Milton-ites worked in town so it was more expedient to col- lect through payroll deductions. Mr. Murphy said in Richmond Hill this might have its drawbacks since many gf the industrial employees don’t live ere. With a population of 6,000. according to its sign on the outskirts, Milton set out to build a 60’ by 100' pool with a deep end of 6’ 4" although it has no diving boards. lle also stressed the urgency of beginning the campaign for funds in the fall to put the town in the position of being eligible for winter works as- sistance. The councillor considers the town park as the best pool site. “After all, this is our community centre with all the surrounding facili- ties of baseball, hockey. lawn bowling and] tennis. The room is there for a poo.” He illustrated his pledge system idea by facts and figures on a pool opened a month ago in Milton, 0n- tario through money collected by a citizen’s committee. He visited Milton several weeks ago. \‘Mlllllmm“\lllllllllll“|\llll“lllIlllllllD\lllll\I“llIIllXll!“\ll!“WWI“llm“!IIIIll“mI!“i\lllm|\tlllllll\lllllllll|\llllllllll‘llll‘l‘llnllllll“illl\l\llllll\\\ll“ll\lIlllllmuhd“Iil\\mull“l\\“\l\\l\l\u\\\\l\lulu“!!! 5mm! jAoqulJ . In our issue of September 28- th. 1939 we reported the safe arrival home of Mrs. Sayers. “The Liberal" of that week said: “Mrs. William Sayers of Richmond Hill. passenger on the Athenia arrived home Sat- urday in excellent health and thankful beyond words to be safe on Canadian soil. Except for the nervous strain of the whole affair Mrs. Sayers is none the worse for her exper: ience. She was sitting on deck‘ when the ship was torpedoed."There was a terrific blast‘ which shook the whole ship’" she said “and we kne v we had‘ been hit”.' Mrs. Sayers had only the highest praise for crew and passengers. There was very little panic and the work of get- ting the passengers ln the life- In our issue of “The Liberal'n of September 7th, 1939, we re- ported the news in these words. "Saved, Uninjured, Galway, Everything Lost. Don't Worry. Grace Sayers." Thus read a cab- le received by William Sayers Centre Street Tuesday after- lnoon to end thirty six hours of dread and anxiety following the radio flash Sunday night that the Athenia had been tor- pedoed by a German submarine. Mrs. Sayers was a passenger on the lllfated ship having boarded the vessel at Liver- pool after vacation spent with relatives and friends in Brit- aln.

The pool is not a fancy one with frills. Mr. Murphy said. The reason for no diving boards is that they claimed only five per cent of the swimmers are divers and yet for diving 35 per cent of the pool is required. Grants from winter works and community centres were obtained. The Milton pool costs structure broken down including labour was ap- proximately $15,700 for cement work; plumbing including water treatment $16,400; electric, $1,200; service build- ing (washrooms and changing rooms) $11,500: fencing $3,000 and fill $3.000. $5.000 was outstanding at the end of 10 months’ campaigning.

Everywhere there is the hum of life. The shadow of the trees gives a welcome relief from the hot sun. In the woods some young birds are growing up. Other hatch themselves from a second batch of eggs. The frogs are sunning them- selves by the stream. Hordes of insects buzz and flutter over masses of bright flowers. This is what I see as I walk down the woodland path to the field, through the woods and by the lake. As I step into the bright sunlit path in front of the cottage door, the black shiny body of a cricket iust dares me to step on him. Did you know that the chirp of the male cricket is made by his wings?.I follow this path out to the field. Here I find a profusion of common white daisies and black-eyed susans. The clovers blossom all summer and there are more varieties about than I can mention. Then I might see a daddy-long-legs close to a flower or a leaf. It is a relative of the crab and scorpion. As I walk along the road the grass hoppers are leaping madly about. There are several kinds of butterflies that fly over the field flowers that I’ve learned to identify. The brown and tan ones with black spots are known as fritillary butterflies. Some of them are quite large. There is the Buckeye and the Painted Lady with their wonderful colorings darting to and fro among the flowers. Other lovely field flowers are the Fleabane (like small daisies) Butter and Eggs and Yarrow and the Pearly Ever- lasting. Sooner or later I will be back in the woods again and I almost step on an Indian Pipe. This is an odd plant with clumps of waxy white flowers on white stems and stand out in ghost-like contrast to the dark leaf mold in which it usually grows. It seems more like a fungus than a flower. The stems have waxy scales instead of leaves. Each stem is topped by a single-cup-shaped flower with wax petals. At first the flower is curved down in the shape of a pipe. When it goes to seed it straightens up and turns black. Nearby, I find a wood frog scrambling over a fallen dead log. And by the lakeside I always have the handsome blue spikes of the pickerel weed to ad- mire and farther along the shore I see the gorgeous white water lilies. If there is a faint breeze blowing, I can smell their fragrance. Of course, theré is so much to see in the fields, woods and water that one couldn’t possibly list them all. And one thing I have found out, walks lilre these are never the same. There is always something new to catch your eye.

During 1961 to 1962 he spent the entire year travelling around the world. He taught school in Japan and worked as an actor in Japanese movies for four months. Other highlights include living as a Buddhist priest in a monastery; lived with head- hunters in Sarawak; hitched-hiked overland from Singapore to Spain at a total transportation cost of $3.41 for six months travelling. Reason for such a modest fee was because he lived in temples and monasteries all the way. (He slept at the Taj Mahal in India); and studied under Yogi holy men in the Himalayas. He lost 30 pounds crossing the desert to the Mediterranean. Besides all this he lived and worked on an Israeli desert farm on the Gaza Strip and to crown all these fascinating“ exploits he ran with the bulls at the Pamplona festival in Spain. (This is the town that Hemingway wrote about in “The Sun Also Rises.” An even more interesting series of adventures followed this; he worked his way on a freighter in the South Seas, travelling from Los Anueles to all the major island groups of the Pacific, namely Tahiti, Samoa, the Fiji Islands and Australia. He spent some ten winters for short periods in the Car- ibbean. He was in Cuba during the Castro revolution and at Puerto Rico. study of geography more meaningful to the students. He was born in Toronto in 1936. While at Upper Ca- nada College, he was active in boxing, football, bask- etball, track and field and swimming. He attended the University of Toronto and graduated in 1958 ma- joring in geography. He then returned for two years post-graduate work in which capacity he taught at the university as a teaching fellow. His hobbies are woodworking, sculpturing, photography and acting. (He has acted in two dramatic plays as a member of the Curtain Club) A new interest, free lance writing is fast becoming an evocation. He should have vast material to write about for he has travelled extensively in many parts of the world. During his high school years he worked as a caddy at Banff and as a mechanic in Northern Ont- ario. While he was at university. he spent his sum- mer in officer training with the Royal Canadian Navy and at sea. He spent five months on a trip to Africa working over and back on a freighter. He tra- velled all over southern Africa and even worked in a gold mine in Johannesburg. JERRY Y. DIAKIW . . . WORLD TRAVELLER . . .
