With all the talk of harbour development and in- dustries moving in (maybe), we sent out our “Future-Photo” editor to capture the possible look of Prince Rupert one hundred years hence. Ac- tually, this picture is of the $5.5 million expansion Youth report calls The final report issued by the Commitlee on Youth calls for major changes in Canadian atliludes, programmes and laws, if the aspirations of youth are to be recognized. The Committee on Youth was sel up as an independent research body by the Govern- ment of Canada to repart to Secretary of State, Mr. Gerard Pelletier on the “aspirations, attitudes and needs of youth and the government's present role in this area.” The recommendations of the Report are wide-ranging. In specific lerms, the Committee calls for coneerted action to relieve ihe crisis in youth unemployment, for a complete re-evaluation of Canada's yeducation systems, for a “revision‘of federal drug Twa # rand forra-special programma’: Blasts ETV MONTREAL (CP) — The in- creasing use of television as a teaching too] could lead to the sacrifice of educational content for entertainment value, Com- munications Minister Robert Stanbury said today, : He told the International Council for Education Media that educationists ‘must choose the right audio-visual. medium for each subject. They also must ensure that educational technology is managed in the best interests of society, Mr. Stanbury said the devel- opment of television as an effec- tive teaching aid is slow be- cause of inadequate attention to. program content, For a number of years now ‘the hard inéseapable truth has been that the attempt to combine education and televi- sion has far more often than not produced poor education and ‘boring television.” The growing reliance on elec- tronic teaching techniques can be seen at a new community college in Laval, Que. where students spend about 80 per cent of their time listening to audio tapes, or watching slide shows and television programs, he said. ; NOT ALL BENEFICIAL Such a media-oriented curric- . " ulum wasnot entirely beneficial to the country’s education sys- tem. “There is a danger. that the _ Browing use of technology,in ed- help ease social tensions in local communities, More generally, the Report insists that the problems and issues being raised today by young peaple cannct be isolated to “youth” as a special category, but concern society as a whole. What young people are basically seeking is the growth of “qualitative change through real participation, in place of quantitative change through technocralic expertise’. This kind of demand involves ail levels of Canadian society, the Committee said... The Report is based on specialized research dealing with many current topics such as employment: prospects, attitudes of different age -groupss“theximpact -of media; comprehensive ‘evaluation of youth programmes run by the federal government and by voluntary organizations, More than 10,000 persons were directly consulted by the Committee during this time. Much in the Report is con- troversial, © Unemployment ‘among young people has already reached ‘“‘tragie proportions’ and shows “no sign of diminishing”. So it is no wonder thal “young people are asking basic questions about the very nature of work and the economic system.'’ Basic deficiencies in the structure of the economy are the most important causes of this unemployment. This is not a lemporary aberration. Fun- damental long term corrective action by the government is needed, | Elsewhere, the Report says that formal education is ‘becoming increasingly irrelevant to both the economic and the social needs of today's students.:It states that the goals and methods of Canadian education should be fully re- evaluated. In. particular, the federal government should carefully examine the im- plicalions of its own heavy expenditure in the area of educalion... The Commiltee also calls for legalizing the sale of cannabis, It-compares this “soft drug” to “three other -common legal drugs, namely tobacco, alcohol and chemicals." ."- ‘ucation will create disparities “between the. educational ” sys- - tems within a’ country, with ‘ urban systems pulling ‘still fur. ther. ahead -of ‘those ‘in” rural areas, and a paratlel. danger’ of ° widening | disparities bétweéen educational systems in-the ad- vanced and the developing , countries.! te _ wide . dissemination : natiobally ‘and. internationally to. high:” : eaty y programming.

Use or approval of marijuana is so widespread among youth that this issue has become a “symbol of the differences between the older and younger generations’’. Legalizing marijuana will merely be a minor recognition of an over- be set up as part of an ex- ~ periment to develop new methods and standards for government decision-making. How toys Toys and games are made in much the same way as automobiles are produced, ‘Usually, component parts are made by various sub- gontractors (supplying manufacturers), shipped to ‘the “youth, culpa” -alrugsand.a...agsembly plant,” produeed tin assembly lines and sold by the toy and game maker. Most of these parts are produced locally, including the man-made fibres, saran, etc., that are used for dolls” hair, Some parts are imported because they can be purchased more economically than they could be made locally, Tiny motors used in small cars, boats and other toys, are imported from Japan, The quantity that is used in total, throughout America, makes it good business to have all of them produced and purchased from one manufacturer in Japan, who specializes in such production. Plastic parts are usually jobbed out to local plastic makers, who use moulds made by local tool and die makers. Advanees in plastic production are so rapid that it-is more economical to deal with plastic - specialists, who serve many people, than for a toy manufactuer to preduce on his own, Piastic in many forms, wood and steel, (and paper for games), are the main ingredients, Plastics vary from light strength to the un- breakable, depending on the type, value and use for the toy. Safety ‘is a prime con- sideration with toys. Non-toxic paint, sharp edges, wheels that can be swallowed, eyes that . come loose, wires that protrude when 4 part breaks off, all these . things need consideration, Blegrieal toys that plug in, to , When: you: don't know who to. turn to. ad - "TURN 10. us WITH CONFIDENCE HOME - » Terrace, B. fo a Ori. be’ for changes The agency, to which the Report assigns the non-title “P2”, would bé run on highly decentralized lines.

COUNCIL A YEAR OLD The council, not te be con- fused with the older Canadian council on Soclal Development, was created a year ago by Wel- fare Minister John Munro, It is intended to give a boots- trap view of welfare policy and procedures and its membership includes a number of welfare recipients. _The’ bootstrap view, ex- pressed at the Poor People's Conference here in January, says: “Legal aid in Canada is a sys- tem by the legal professional for the legal professional with total indifference to the client— the The conference rejected the “traditional indifferent legal aid system”’ and recommended aggressive poverty law and neighborhood law offices, The Taman report says at least two provinces—Nova Sco- tia and Manitoba—appear on the verge of adopting the neigh- borhood legal services concept. CRITICIZES SYSTEM soe It criticized the three-year-old . Ontario system for leaning almost no preventive work.
