EDMONTON — Even though Western separatism
thas been a flop with voters, people like Alberta Premier
Don Getty keep talking about it and others keep
wondering why.

Getty angered federal Tories two months ago when
he told a Canadian Bar Association convention that
separatist sentiments are again on the rise in Alberta.

He tied his comments to demands for federal help for
the struggling energy industry, the mainstay of the
Alberta economy.

The problem is, there has been nothing to back him

The Western Canada Concept party in Saskatche-
wan ran nine candidates who accumulated less than 500
votes in the recent provincial election and the party will
lose its official status because of the low number of
candidates.

Even though Ramsay has said a Nov. 15 party

DEMOLITION TIME . . . Cominco Ltd.'s lead smelter
modernization is well underway at the Trail
operations, including demolition of the old zinc
tank rooms 2 and 3, which date back to 1925. Tank

rooms will be flattened to pave the way for new $45
million air separation plant. Plant construction is to
begin in May 1987 and be completed by September
1988.

IGNORES MEETING
In addition, organizing meetings this month have

.
been ao pectly attended that a opting at Turner Valley, Aluminum Sheets
Alta., drew no one.

Elmer Knutson, the Edmonton tractor parts dealer
who founded the West-Fed Association, flirted with the
WCC and later formed the Confederation of Regions
party, has said he'll retire as COR leader next month.

He has run in federal elections and never received
more than a few hundred votes.

None of this fazes two of Alberta's best known public
figures — publishers Ted Byfield and J. Patrick O'Call
aghan.

Byfield runs a regular column in his weekly news
magazine. He also writes columns for the Calgary and
Edmonton Sun newspapers.

O'Callaghan runs long opinion pieces in the Calgary
Herald.

Byfield last month predicted “a rapid desertion of all
three major parties” in the next five years and has said

there will be pressure for Senate reform.

Central Canada will toy with it and westerners will FALL SPECIAL

of the group are among the
three million adult Canadians
enrolled in continuing edu
cation courses at colleges,
universities, high schools and
other institutions.

The cramped, book-strewn
office is headquarters for the
50 staff members and volun
teers countrywide of the
Workers’ Educational As
sociation of Canada.

The 83-year-old, non-profit
organization promotes adult
learning, reaching out to in
dividuals who crave more

don't know
where to start.

“I dropped out of school at
17 because I didn't know
what I was doing.” says as
sociation co-ordinator Wendy
Terry, a 39-year-old origi
nally. from the small Ontario
town of Bobcaygeon.

“Most people assume
everyone is ready to learn at
a young age but I was fairly
wild and more interested in
the local hockey hero.”

In her 20s, Terry became
set on getting her Grade 12
diploma so she could enter
university. After two years
of correspondence courses
and night school she got a
physics credit only to dis-
cover later that she didn't
need the diploma to get into
university

It's that kind of ignorance
she and other continuing
education officials seek to

student's wage level when
you have a four-year-old is
hard.”

Terry's organization, fin
nanced by the federal and
provincial governments, as
sisted more than 11,000 Can
adian adults last year.
Through information booths
in shopping malls and its
affiliation with the larger
Canadian Association for
Adult Education, the Work
ers’ Education Association
provides counselling on
choosing the right course of
study, information on finan
cial assistance and generally
answering any questions re-
lated to adult education.

Such help is increasingly
needed as more and more
adults are continuing their
educatign in the hope of
better job opportunities or
simply out of personal in
terest, says Ian Morrison,
executive director of the
Toronto-based Canadian As
sociation for Adult Edu
cation.

For some adults, the ex
perience of returning to class
can be frustrating.

Mary, who asked that her
last name not be used, came
to Canada 18 years ago from
Czechoslovakia to escape
what she called “a deplorable
education system in a Com
munist country where tea
chers ripped pages out of
history books.”

With a young child from a
failed marriage, Mary made
an attempt, to get her mas-
ter's degree in English at
McGill University in Mon
treal but failed the course.

“I felt the world was
coming to an end,” says
Mary, a full-time worker at
the Workers’ Educational
Association. “I finally learned
that with all the stress I was
facing, it wasn't a good idea
to go back to school. You
can't resolve your problems
and do such a difficult pro-
gram.
