Student Jobs Needed for Responsible Adults

To say that we are pleased with the
response of young people to our offer to run free

oriented. The resull has been not only

classified ads section is an understatement,
Based on our observances of a similar column in
another weekly newspaper, we had expected
something like two or three ads. Instead, there
were nine the first week alone,

We believe the response says something
very important about young people in the
Castlegar district: they're industrious, respons-
ible and eager for an opportunity to engage in
any number of jobs ranging from cutting lawns
to working in stores in order to.help earn their

chaos, but the encouragement of
a false philosophy that free-loading is

respectable if done with the consent of the °

government, and that it isn't necessary to
accomplish anything concrete as long as the
appearance of keeping busy is maintained.

We have heard it said thot wage rates
normally paid for jobs should be paid to
students, regardless of their lack of
Having given very serious consideration to this
viewpoint, we disagrec.

Most American states take it for granted

own spending money and to assist fi
with continuing their educations,

We confess that a few years ago we were
cool to the idea of special job assistance
programs for young people, believing that the
unemployed family man and. the unemployed
single man, should have first call on available
jobs.

However, we have arrived at the conclusion
that if we don’t do something positive and
constructive for our young people in the way of
giving them work experiences and legitimate
means of earning money, then we certainly can't
expect them to hold onto society's true and
tested values and to become fully responsible
adults,

This newspaper has been extremely critical
of federally-funded Opportunities for Youth
projects for a simple reason: lacking proper
guidance, direction and supervision, hundreds of
thousands (if not millions) of hard-earned
taxpayers’ dollars have been wasted.

The Opportunities for Youth program was
devised by a government strongly lacking in

Amalgamation Heightens
Interest in Political Office

We in Canada often express a superior
smile when we read about the lengthy ballot
papers our American friends are faced with
when they vote. The yard-long ballots ask them
to elect everyone from the local dog catcher to
the district judge.

However, if the experiences of the
newly-enlarged cities of Kamloops and Kelowna
are any’ criteria, residents of Castlegar end
Kinnaird may be faced with similar ballot papers
this December should amalgamation be voted
upon and approved in October.

The newly-amalgamated cities of Kamloops
and Kelowna will be holding their first civic
elections this Saturday and a total of 68
candidates have been nominated to contest
mayorality and aldermanic seats.

In Kamloops, three candidates are seeking
the mayor's office and a massive list of 39
candidates aré.seeking 12 aldermanic Posts. .

In Kelowna, five candidates are. vying for

“* the honor of becoming the enlarged city’s first
chief magistrate and another 21 candidates are
seeking 10 aldermanic seats,

If the same trend follows here, there might
not be enough eligible non-candidates around to
sign the nomination papers of those choosing to
runt

that special ted jobs should not carry with
them what would normally be paid if the jobs
were to be continuing ones. They think nothing
of a special student rate which is lower than
what would be considered the going rate.

It would be indefencible, in our mind, to
create a situation in which students were to
compete for jobs—or worse yet—displace from
jobs older men and women with families to
support. It is possible, however, to put students
into unfilled vacancies, in jobs of short duration,
or to create new jobs in a way which does not
injure existing members of the working force.

. What is wrong with a student working for a
special wage in a position that might normally
be expected to pay more if that position
wouldn't exist if it weren't for the fact that
someone was available to fill it at a rate less than
might normally be paid? (eg. Aide in a local
school for the mentally handicapped.)

Is there really anything wrong with a
student under the age of 17 working for the
minimum legal wage of $1.60 an hour, ‘tearing
down an old eye-sore of a shed behind a grocery
store that might never be torn down if $4 or $5
an hour had to be paid?

We have employed a number of young

people over the years and almost without
exception we have found them industrious
workers anxious to do a good job, With proper
encouragement they are anxious to learn
different tasks and have the advantage of
lacking ingrained work habits that prevent them
from doing a job the way the employer wants it
done. And we have heard nothing but words of
praise for the Work Experience Program
offered to SHSS students by Schoo! District No.
9 with the cooperation of local businesses,

The young people.’ who have been into our
office to give us Student Placement ads have
been well dressed, well spoken and appear
sincerely desirable of obtaining part-time or
full-time summer employment. (Yes, some of
them have had long hair in the fashion of
today—but it’s been neat.)

We hope district businesses will make a
concentrated effort to hire students this
summer and we hope as well that area residents
will keep students in mind for some of the jobs
that are always available around,the house.
