About the best thing that I could think about, it would be some service in the army. It gives them a good idea of travel in many cases. And their right up . . . they held right up (inaudible) and they learned how to do a lot of things, that they didn't do before. That's about the size of it. Through it all, a lot of it was very good, the training that you would get in the army and that's about, doesn't stipulate how long it would be, about a year or two years that would be a good service, a good year put in. And any young fella around 17 ½ -18 passed the regulations, it would be okay for them at least I think. Perhaps a lot of them don't see it that way after they join, but the present situation is more suitable to them than sitting around at home and doing nothing. The main thing is they are now occupied before they were not and they're a paying, paying citizens now and before they were not paying because they weren't working. So that's a few of the things that would be to their advantage. If they can't get that job, can't find work, try and get into the army.
