there are still unskilled jobs. avail

ing and the wages from these
jobs has become inadequate by
most standards.
Education beyond high school
is no longer looked upon as a
luxury but as a sound business
investment. jobs that formerly
were filled by high school grad
uates are now filled by college
graduates. Jobs that formerly re-
quired only an 9th grade educa-
Ion now require a high school
education. The reasons for this
are numerous for not only has
work become more complex and

Mr.. Aitken inquired just what
the Highway Assn expected
from Saskatchewan. Mr.. Mutt ex-
planned that the u. S. law of
l944 Section 7 provided for an
Interstate Highway connection
with Canadian Provinces. Thus
far Saskatchewan has 10 con-
