Back-to-school blues

Well, today’s the day. The first day
of school for a number of youngsters
going into grade one, the first day of
back to school for a number of
youngsters going into grade two, and
the first day of another ten months of
drudgery for a lot of not-so-youngsters
going into high school.

Today is also the first day of the rest
of your life, and whether or not you are
returning to school, today will
probably have some _ special
significance to you. :

If you are a mother, today will be the
first day of another long series of
headaches with the new math, uneaten
lunches and other minor crises.

If you are a father, today will mark
the end of a long summer of being
tormented by your young’uns to go
fishing or camping or whatever.
Today will also mark the first day of a
season...a season when you will have to
get down to all the little things around
the house that need doing, but didn’t
have time for all summer.

If you are a high school drop-out
looking for a job, today will possibly
mark the start of an opening in
opportunity for you, as many people
going back to school will no longer

need the jobs. You will also probably —

feel a bit of nastalgia that goes along
with the season, too.

If you are a student, today will be
filled with the expectations, hassles
and problems involved in straightening
out your program. |...

Remember the problems of trying to
get your lock open, and remembering
the combination long enough to go
from one class to the other, and then
forgetting it...

Nostaigia sets in for those of us who
are no longer as lucky - for those of us
who will not be desecrateing the
hallowed halls this year.

School, for many of those returning
will mean the re-uniting of old friends
and the making of new ones. It means
the drudgery of homework and the
pride in a good mark, School to many
means the door to success, the porch
before the door to opportunity.

To those latter, school will benefit. -
To those who are looking for nothing
more than a good time, they will find
nothing more than a good time, School
is what you make it, not what it makes
you.

The place to learn is becoming the
place to learn to lear, that is not a
typographical error. School is teaching
more and more people to teach
themselves, and what the student does
in his own responsibility,

School as a social outlet has its
purposes, too. Here is where many
sound friendships are built. Here is
where many future married couples
meet, and get to know each other.
School teaches them to accept
themselves, and others.

For, those returning to school,

Labour Day message

The following is the text of a
Labour Day message issued by
Ray Haynes, Secretary-
Treasurer of the 85.C.
Federation of Labour: . *-

“Traditionally, Labour Day
messages dwell at length on the
achievements of the trade union
movement and the contribution
to the development of better
living standards made by
unions over the years. Because
I believe that these past
achievements are generally
recognized and because |
believe it is much moré
important to meet present

today, Gn’ behalf of thdB.C,
Federation of Labour, on what
is happening right now in
Canada and in British
Columbia, ,

‘Just a few years ago, there
was a general feeling on the
part of most Canadians that
things were going pretty well.

Pay cheques were increasing, .

new cars, televisions and other
amenities of life seemed to be
more readily available. Canada
and British Columbia, apart
from some minor problems,
seemed to be making real
progress. In the last few years,
however, there has been an.
increasing awareness that a
great many things are going
wrong, a great many unsolved
problems are threatening our-
communities and our individual
lives, : :
‘Politicians and open-line -
broadcasters scream about |
drugs. and young people on
welfare, but do nothing about
the disastrous lack of jobs
which frustrates the young
people or about the abuse of
alcohol which ruins thousands -
of lives and families every year.

Those who have permitted our’ .

air and water and parks and”
cities to be polluted in the name
of commerce grow hysterical
over young people who turn
their back on a society whose

environment is destroyed week.

after week,

“Canadians on welfare are. --

while the. policies of a playboy

“Organized workers are
attacked for keeping pace with
rising prices by winning wage
increases while executives,
many professionals
promoters continue to widen the’
income gap- between’

themselves and all whowork for |”

wages or live on fixed incomes. :
“That’s the kind of - ness

we're in. ‘The B;C, ‘Federatién --"

of Labour has fought, and will

continue to fight, for-action“to |.

replace’ the ‘policies ‘of blind . - a

and .

dignity and respect those who |

are physically, mentally, or
emotionally unable to work and
those senior citizens who

‘worked so hard to build this

country...

“We must give top priority to
protecting our natural
environment and our urban
areas against their destruction
in the name of commerce. We
must conduct an all-out fight
against discrimination, not only
the racial and religious
discrimination which we have
fought for years, but the
discrimination against women

"On Labour Day we are proud
to say that the B.C. Federation
has already taken up these
great challenges and we will
continue to do so in the year
ahead. We urge all trade
unionists and all: men and
