The officials of the towns, townships, and county, the ministers and news media have all been contacted to gain their support of the program and Mr. Walden says that the response from this group to the project has been excellent. Because of this en- thusiasm, he is anticipating a busy week from the em- ployers who will be placing orders with him to hire students. If this is the case, Mr. Walden feels there should be plenty of jobs on hand for the high school students when school is over for the year. A big advantage gained by the employer in using the student placement office is that there is a wide selection of students from their community on file, ready for work, to.choose from. At present, there are around 200 males and 200 females registered. .But, Mr. Walden doesn't want the registrations to stop here. He would like to see even more students on file, because the employment picture looks very good this year. To date, 72 university students have been placed in jobs which has left very few university students on file to refer to the job vacan- cies starting before high school is out for the term. If this trend should continue, then the high school students will have no trouble getting summer work. So ' far there has been an excellent balance between orders received and students available. Mr. Walden hopes this will continue. On May 1, the student placement office hired an assistant, Miss Jane Clancy, who has been working with Mr. Walden. She has contributed greatly thus far to the success of the office in placing summer students. In conclusion, Mr. Walden stated that if there is anyone having trouble getting .a summer job or if anyone is needing summer help, contact the Canada Manpower Centre in Goderich and talk to either Miss Clancy or himself.
