A small man indeed he attitude of supreme arrogance which Highways Minister Gaglardi has assumed, particularly of late, il] befits a man who is supposed to repre- sent the people of British Columbia. * Regardless of what Mr. Gagilardi may think, he is not — at least as yet —- another Mussolini, although one must admit a similarity exists in his attempt to dictate that the people will have what he thinks is good for them, _and not what they want. Mr. Gagilardi’s arrogance was nev- er more clearly demonstrated than it ‘wus in Prince George Wednesday -when a reporter from this newspaper ‘asked him to tell the people of Prince «George and district about his plans for mtheir—not his—highways department. a ” "SS Instead of using the newspaper to «form the people, Mr. Gaglardi chose 0 be petty. He said he was making no “announcements — partly because he “Hoesn’t “appreciate” the newspaper “4nd partly because he simply wasn’t snaking any announcements. fee Cotte foee shat Youngsters When teenagers themselves see a need for stricter regulations of youthful drivers, it is time te sit up and take notice. Such notice has been evoked by 1,174 students at Myers Park High School at Charlotte in a petition to Gov- crnor Sanford and' the North Carolina Traffic Safety Council. The students, representing nearly 90 per cent of the student body, suggest a form of prebation for drivers between 16 and 18 years cld. They would be issued regular drivers licen- seg at age 16. But until they reached age 18, they would automatically lose their licenses - upon conviction for two moving traffic viola~ tions. After reaching 19, they would be subject to the regular point system fer suspending licenses, The plan acknowledges that the driving privilege has to be earned and re-earned. It He might as well have said the newspaper and the people could both go to hell. This newspaper has no favorites except the people. It does not pander to politicians or stuffed shirts. It does not fear to tell what it deems to be the truth, nor does it fear to admit it when it has heen wrong. Mr. Gagilardi and certain of his Social Credit colleagues have reason | to dislike this newspaper, because it has steadfastly refused to be bam- boozled or let the public be bamboozled by such infamous farces as the Socred- backed Pacific Northern Railway scheme. Nevertheless it does not become Mr. Gaglardi or any other minister of the Crown to refuse to enlighten the public on so important a matter as highways. merely because he doesn’t happen to like the newspaper’s edi- torials. Such an attitude indicates that Mr. Gaglardi is not a big enough man for his job.—Prince George Citizen. ask controls accords with the principle that the privilege should be retained only by those who demon- strate a continuing capacity to meet the re- sponsibilities that go with it. It will not of itself prevent all accidents amcng teenage drivers now or later. But it does presage a new generation of drivers who are concerned drivers, who have a healthy respect for traffic safety laws, their own lives and the lives of others. And that is bound to make our highways and streets less the place of carnage (hat they are today. . The students of Myérs. Park High School have given the members of the 1963 General Assembly something to think about. They have given high school students throughout North Carolina something to think about, — Winston-Salem (N.C,) Journal Sex ignorance Doctors may have knowledge of anatomy and the physiology of conception, but they may be so ignorant of the role of sex in personality that they are unprepared to advise teen-agers with strong sexual feelings or sexually frustrat- cd married people. So says New Orleans psy- chiatrist Dr? Harold I. Lief, who addressed the American Psychiatric Association in Toronto. If this is true of doctors, what can he ex- pected of parents, teachers and clergymen, who are faced with the sex problems of the young? The counselor on such matters obviously needs training. If he believes sex is a “dirty thine”, or if he exaggerates the role of sex, he is worse than useless in dispensing advice. Biulunee and objectivity are prime requirements INTERPRETING THE NEWS for those who undertake to guide the confused in this field. Parents are usually the worst offenders in ccunselling their children. This is because em- harrassment so easily enters the situation. A knowledgeable teacher, a trained clergyman, a deetor who understands his limitations and knows when to make a referral —- these are the people who ean guide the young in finding a sexual code that will add beauty to their lives, Parents would be foolish, however, to abdi- cate the whole problem, Theirs is the responsi- bility to find the expert who can provide firm and consistent guidance, The Toronto Telegram Money one of many evils plaguing U.K. Tories By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer The British economy is often sald to teeter tha razors edge.

Be patient. bateta ve) Seria What's ahead for teenagers From The Financial Post The remarkable scholarship scheme introduced by Imper- ial Oil for the children of its employees is precisely the ‘kind of help that’s needed to fi young Canadians for survival and success in a world where skills count. The company will pay tie- tion and other compulsery higher education fees for ail its employees’ children who act an average of 70% in their high school finals. The payments will continue for four years as long as the students success- fully complete each academic year at a recognized Canadian university, institute of tech- nology or similar institution. Two facts of life which are not widely appreciated by teenagers and their - parents make it clear that higher edu- cation is fast becoming an im- perative rather than a dis- pensable luxury or “thing to do” by the offspring of well- to-do families, This plainly, is the reality that the Impcrial scheme recognizes. First. The remarkable pro- gress of automation and the development of highly sophis- ticated computers. make — it plain that the under-educated will have an increasingly dif- ficult time finding an unskilled job. Machines now make and roll steel, mine coal, manufacture engine blocks, weave cloth, sort and grade everything from apples to bank cheques, analyze market portfolios, keep inventory records and auto- LETTER BOX new stock versatility matically print orders—and_ their is growing by leaps. The shape of things to come shows in the originality and unpredictability displayed by advanced computers. When taught to play checkers, for instance, such machines show i marked superiority to the teacher after a while-—escap- ing the control of the man who made them. Second. We are on the brink of a remarkable explosion in the teenage population with one million Canadian young- sters reaching work age dur- ing the next five years. This means Canada will have to create.two and onc half times as many jobs in the next five years as came into existence during the past five. With the Canadian econ- omy likely to grow slowly for the next few years, it is obvious that the well-trained young people will be the ones who find an agreeable niche for themselves. Whatever the means, whe- ther it is company aid such as that of Imperial Oil or gov- ernment aid, the whole level of skis and abilities in the Canadian economy must be raised if this country is to prosper in a world of mechan- ized accomplishment and vio- lent competition. It’s not likely that the kids can be sold on higher educa- tion by talk about national needs. But it might be pointed out. tao them, it is the people with the degrees that make the most money.
