. Tries Habit ~ Kicking In

Classroom.

Seventh and eighth giaders at Shenandoah School inSt, Louis are trying | to quit smoking.

School officials and the American Cancer Society con- ducted a “kicking the habit” clinic after school for. three weeks. Thirty-eight students sought help, nearly one-third of the 13- and 14-year-olds at the school.

~."I_ was a little surprised that 38 were heavy amokers wh said they wanted to (quit) but could not,” said principal Nola Mae Morgan, an ex- smoker and initiator of the program. : The smoking problem isn't a new one for Dr. Morgan, whose office in past years was often graced by youthful smok-

es, 1" “You mean you can't wait ll recess or lunch?” she asked them, (Now was the reply, “We need help.”

i} For three weeks, 120

syenth and eighth graders at- tehded assemblies to hear a Ijhg specialist, a neck surgeon and a psychologist talk about spioking.

| Twice a week, the 98 stu- dehts who signed up for help in

qpitting smoking attended “rap gtoups"™ given by a local’ coun- selling centre.

t “Host youngsters at this age group smoke from peer pressure. It's the ‘in’ thing to do,” Dr. Morgan said.

+ Dr. Morgan said not all the school’s smokers signed up for the program, just those ‘who wanted to quit. At least three students quit “cold turkey” and

others were cutting back.

Depression Can Strike At Any Age

Depression can strike at

any age... and women are more prone.

Depression is not to be taken lghtlyl

Medical ‘researchers esti- mate that almost half of the attempted suicides in the na- tion are a direct result of that dejected state of mind. .

“Depression causes suffer- ing, incapacity ‘and. economic toss. It often ends in suicide,” said Dr. H. | E,» Lehmann, director of education and re- search at the Douglas Hospital in Montreal.

Depression hits young and

old alike and one in every:10 ~ people eventually develop path- |

ological depression, he added. Unfortunately, most. peo- ple mask their true feelings and the majority of | cases, “are ‘undiagnosed ‘and ‘untreated... Antidepressant medie- ation works for only about 65 per cent of patients who seek medical help. But “10 to 20 per cent of all patients respond to nothing.”

Dr. Lehmann states that women tend to be more prone to depression than men and ‘usually undergo treatment fora longer period of time.

Young people are easier to treat than old people, says the researcher, because often the elderly realize or believe that the future holds little for them. Ifthey also suffer from physical illness they are likely to remain depressed “and there is little ‘one can do.”

Alcoholics and drug ad- dicts are. especially. hard. to treat because anti-depressant drugs are not safe if the patient continues to drink or take dope.

In ‘younger people, the

“ hardest to reach are those who

seek “unattainable dominant. goals.” Once they give up these goals ‘the road to recovery is quite rapid.

These goals include ca- reers beyond one’s limitations, being unable to have children of

New input on output

By KENNETH McDONALD

Productivity has become an overworked word. Paliti- clans and economists give the impresston that improving it will solve everything. Yet the accepted definition (output per employee) is highly mis- leading. The term “product- ivity" needs to be defined differently,

eee

Measuring output solely in ‘terms of employees’ pro- ducthity implies an ‘suto- matic bias toward large, capi- tal-intensive firms. Through special concessions — capital cost - allowances ‘and > fast write-offs — the tax system reinforces this bias by en- couraging these firms to re- place men with machines.

eee

If productivity were mea- sured as output in terms of capital employed, measure- ments would be biased in favour of small firms which are labour-intensive. Com- paring the. productivity of big and small businesses is like comparing apples to

oranges. e

Any form of monopoly power will produce apparent gains in productivity. Ac- quiring or merging with com- peting companies and ¢hus -

creating barriers to the entry. of new ventures, So will the proliferation, under the im-

pact of massive advertising, of consumer products which have only superficial differ- ences in name'and packaging. eee Clearly, present producti- vity figuresare unreliable asa guide to national competi- live efficiency. They give us no clue as to which indus- tries should be encouraged, which phased out. eee

Nor do they give recogni- tion to social costs — suchas health’ care, environmental damage. of resource‘ deple- tion — for which accounting

which rank highest for pro- ductivity by the present method of measurement are

.. distilling and the exploration

of non-renewable resources. e

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business would like to see the govern- ment establish a more effec- tive form of. productivity measurement which would relate output to the amount of both capital and labour employed.

eee

Actually, true _improve- ments in the productivity of a business. come not from

capital or-labour but from *

the way. that managers put these’ both together — for example, through better planning and procedures and more effective manpower. and personnel policies,
