aera From the editor’s chair This is the time of the year young people across Canada — and the United States — and in most parts of the world — are nerving them- selves to make the break from student to em- ployee. In the more “advanced” countries, 4 high percentage will merely change their status from that of student of a lower school to that of scholar in a higher school of learning. From Grade to High or from High to University. This is also a time of the year when ‘‘suc- cessful” businessmen, clergy and professional types will be polishing up speeches to bore graduating classes, advising them how to become as successful as they are. The classes. should not be blamed if, as they gaze upon the sometimes fat, bald, unattractive speakers, or the slick, polished, million-laughhs-a-minute Dale Carnegie types — whether the struggle is worth. the reward. So: Students, Scholars, pupils -- whoever you are — our sympathies! Looking out at the world from the “‘Editor’s Chair” — it does not seem all A non-speech to the Kitim Minister? If India, Ceylon, Israel and Argentina could do it~ why not Canada? Canada has few women in politics as a whole. How many women are there on the Kitimat Council? That’s just for starters. No question —- the world needs more women and men in the better paying positions. Secondly: the world needs so many products that are not available. Inventions! That is where the excitement is as well as the money. The need for simple things is all around us. Example: those stupid triangle shaped “eream” containers in restaurants that squirt you in the eye — and leave polluting residue. Why riot one that you can drop into your tea or coffee and it will dissolve — container and all? Pet owner identification tags — for dogs, cats and budgies. Additional uses for the wasted wood from'the trees that are cutdown. A billion dollar industry. (multi-billion) is going begging for the first person that builds a fuel extration plant for alcohol from waste wood. Then you could hire all your classmates! : Pre-fab houses. REALLY pre-fab. Feed raw lumber in one end, turn on the computer — and walls, doors, floors, roofs, furniture — ready to assemble — come out the other end. Impossible? It can be done. Too complicated? How about inventing a “simple” way to measure and add oi] in your car truck or bus without having to raise the We are constantly hearing that‘‘Canada needs to be competitive’, that Canada has lost its competitiveness to other harder working, more aggressive countries. On the other hand — it was the lazy man or woman, surely, who invented the - safety pin, the rocking hair, the alarm clock, the electric razor — and so on. Nothing wrong with being “lazy”. (Being “shiftless” is another matter!) The world — and Canada as part of that world — needs people who will use their heads just as at nn re ig THE HERALD, Friday, June 16, 1978, PAGE lf Class of °78 much as it needs persons who will use their hands. There are still persons — for example — tear off to the next city, a hundred miles away, without first bothering to phone ahead to see whether the office is even open! There are those who will fill out an application form without first reading it through, carefully — only to discover later they were not eligible, or the competition date closed last week. To sum up. . There are lots of opportunities for persons who are not afraid to thing, and to be original. To come up with new ideas for senvices and products that are not being supplied. There will never be enough good leaders — men and women, alike. For those who “follow the crowd” there will always be a long lineup. For those willing to strike out, on their own — there is never any competition. ; Good luck Grads! drop us a line after a while and let us know how you are making out. . that attractive, from here, either.

This does not necessarily make them “‘experts”, though some of us might think it does. Rather than fall into the easy to make error of offering advice, here is what I want to do. I just want to tell you some of the things the world (especially Canada) is looking for. It is then up to you if you want to see if you would care to help supply it. - First — we need leaders. Leaders from the top of the country — the Prime Minister’s Office — to the local level of government. Politicians have such a poor image. We constantly hear ‘what little choice the voter has between one politician and another.
