It's Still “Mr. Mayor”

A controversy has been going on in Ottawa as to whether Her Wor- ship Mayor Charlotte Whitton should continue to be addressed as “Mr. Mayor." Why not address her, the purists say, as "Missus,” “Ma- dame", or “Mistress Mayor” since the is a. woman and not a. man? Her -Worel'1i‘D'hae lumped int‘) 131" fight herself in a letter in the Ot- tawa Journal, which defends the form “Mister" in addressing her officially and puts the critics to rain with . blast of eruditlon.

The derivation of "Mayor", Miss

‘ Whitton points out, is the Latin

"Major". or the “lI‘eal’»e!"' 01‘ "5°n' so;-"~“‘ome, chosen among equals. This 3'” of “Mayor” for the Saxon

oflloa, and not me person, mmseu or herself, who is addressed. The “Mayor” is not a person per se, under the. Ontario Municipal Act, but defined gs “Head of Council" in a. city or town.

It _would be as proper, Miss.

Whitton insists, to call her the “headess” of the Council as to call her the “Mayore-ss,” or to refer to her as “Missus Mayor." The latter term in any case would obviously be as inapplicable to a spinster as “Miss” Mayor to a married woman. And “Mistress Mayor” might, she says. “disastrously, and even fact- ually gct «a possessive preposition between the two words I”

Her Worship then proceeds to give a spate of precedents for her views, which are as impressive as her weight of learning. She applies her analysis to the term “Coun- cillor” as well, pointing out that a woman Councillor is not a. “Coun- cilloress” any more than a female Minister of the Crown is a “Minis- teress”. Nor does a female Chair- man. she insists, become a “Chair- woman" because of her sex.

Mayor Whitton’s statements in the past. have usually started more arguments than they have settled. and it is too much to expect that there will be unanimous acquies- cence in her views in this case. But at this distance it would seem that she has scored a bull's-eye, and the points she has raised may he of value in sottlittg similar disputes in other communities.

Reluctant Hosts Beginning on Saturday Finland will play host for one week to the

Communist-sponsored Eighth Inter- ‘

national Y 0 u t h Festival. But the word "host" conveys the location, not. the attitude of the Finns. Ex- cept for the local Communists, the festival is unwelcome.

Finlaiid is a neutral country. and it. wants to stay that. way. The pres- sure from Moscow is heavy and con- tinuous, but the Finns have shown it remarkable determination in standing up to it. They are disturbed that the world in general may be deceived into thinking that their country is indeed 1 satellite nation of the Soviet "Union. Finding them- selves powerless to p r e v e n t the youth festival from taking place. they are doing what they consider the next best thing-—giving it the cold shoulder.

The Soviet press estimates that 40,000 to 50,000 will attend the festival from all over the world. Finnish officials estimate between 12.000 and 15.000; and this num- her. they point out, will include very few Finns. A majority of the youth groups in Finland have spoken out strongly against it and now refuse to participate.

As a neutral nation, however, they feel obliged to concede the right. of anyone to come t;o,iheir country, welcome or not. Leaders of the Finnish youth groups have cautioned th ei r counterparts in Sweden and other countries against staging violent demonstrations, and Finnish police officials say they are well prepared to put down any such incidents with a. firm hand.

One particularly ticklish prob- lem may arise if the youth delega- tion from East Germany arrives as expected. Should any of them try to escape from Finland to Sweden or by some other route, the police, says one official, “are going to have a difficult time not seeing them and making it look as if they didn't see them.” And, of course, such incid- ents could lead to a lot of embarrass- ment for the Finnish government.

The Finns deserve the sympathy of the free world in this case. That's about all in the way of protection they're likely to get from Corn- munist pressure, and it’: well to remember this as we follow the from Helsinki during the next few days.

JOBS WITHOUT WORKERS

The New Tragedy

One of the great ironies in l Canada is that there should be so much unemployment when there are jobs to be filled.

The point has been made by , the Director of the Dominion‘ Bureau of Statistics’ Education Division. Dr. Fred . Whit- wnrth. Speaking in Charlotte- ! town. at the annual meeting of ; the Canadian College of Tea- chers. Dr. Whitwnrth said: "The ‘ tragedy is that during. . periods of unemployment there are as l many vacancies as there are unemployed. but the jobless lack ‘ the qualifications to fill the pos- ilions."

The unemployment situation may fluctuate, but it is hard to . so? that it can iundarnr-nt.ally' improve until those looking for work have the qualifications to fill the jobs. About 70 per cent of the students leaving school are suitable only for un- skilled work.

But there arc just not that many unskilled jobs. In the labor market as a whole. about 25 per cent of all jobs are now in the professional. or skilled catcizory. About 30 per cent are t white-collar jobs. many of which 1‘ require hlzh levels of compe- tence. Only 30 per cent of the jobs are unskilled.

S LUTION URGENT

How. then. is the uncmploy-

ment problem to be solved, ‘

Montreal Gszel when 70 per cent of the students

‘ leaving school have to find em-

ployment in the kind of jobs that ;

make up only 30 per cent of the total?

If this situation were static. it would be serious enough. Rut It is changing rapidly. The un- skilled 30 rvzr cent of the total of jobs is slirinkln-g.

With skilled craftsmcn lh :- requlrements are rising. More electricians are required to have a general understanding of el- ectronics: automobile mechanics need to know the principles of pneumatic: and hydraulics. Of- fice jobs are also becoming less “clerlcal" than in the past. and more technological: automation and its machines are bringing about the change.

The need is to create an aware- ness in the home that education is not a matter of choice or pre- ference. but a necessity. with no alternative. There was once a time when a parent mlizhl pre- fer to have his child stay at school. but if his child left school early, he mipz ' make his way. and do very well. Today anyone who goes out into the world without education is likely

- to spend most of bis_life as an

unemployment statistic.

NO LONGER ENOUGH Education itself is no longer

enough: it has to be kept closely

FORUM

"D0-GOODERS" AND OTHERS Sir. -— Dr. Sinnotl's letter has. of course. the value of a warn- lni: against the progressive ero- sion of individual rights an freedom in tho interest of some politicians who bcgulle the vol- ers by promises and commit- ments difficult to fulfil when elected. Which practice, inci- l dcntally, constitutes a sorry re- l flcction on the intelligence of l (on many of our populace who vote for the slick promise or even a soft buck. But let that pass. since we are now concern- ed with Dr. Sinnott's earnest plea to "stop. look, and listen" . before it is too late. V’ However, there are two facts , which we suggest he might con- i alder. and to which he may need to make some adjustment in his thinking relative to e mat- ter of socialized medicine: ill The public feeling that too many doctors are fee conscious ln-- atead of patient conscious - we know that there are notable ex- , oeptima, yet the impression is , abroad.

A blow directly over the kid- ney area may bruise, rupture. or shatter the organ. This hap- pens occasionally to boxers but it has become a more common type of injury in automobile crashes.

Most kidney injuries heal , spontaneously after resting in bed. Hospitalization may be ad- , vised when it is necessary to ' watch the patient carefully until bleeding stops.

When symptoms persist or get worse, surgery is needed. It may be possible to repair the dam- age in some instances. when this

Negotiations. however, are confidently expected to continue until I-‘riday—possibly through the night—into the weekend and through next week.

The feeling is that if a break- . through is reached on the tem- , perate foodstuffs problem. the remainder of the negotiating , problems could probably be 1 cleared away quickly. .’ LOOK TO 1970 l
