"I've been patching my pump
for the last three years," com-
mented Councillor Rollie Gren-
ier, noting he hadn't purchased
a new one in view of water ser-
vice coming. He indicated he did
not know how much longer he,
could hold off.
Wassmann said he couldn't
blame people if they now started
to dig new wells or put in new
equipment. "The OWRC has been
playing around too long."
Information required to pro-
ceed with sending out notices had
not been received from the gov-
ernment agencies for Tuesday's
meeting and council agreed to
meet again Thursday afternoon to
get things going again.
NEED DOCTOR
During reports of committees,
Councillor Peter DdJong asked
what steps council' could take in
an effort to secure the services
of a doctor for the resort.
The resort has been without lo-
cal medical services since the
death of Dr. E. A. McMaster.
"We need water, but we also
need a doctor," DeJong pointed
out.
Reeve Ory Wassmann said he
had already done some investiga-
tion into this matter and said the
best way to attract a doctor was
to have a building available and
enlist the aid of other area medi-
cal men in securing a doctor.

the office staff at the school,
with some of their work.
"We let them de everything
but run examination Papers,"
Mr. Webster, reported.
While this takes the students
ont of their classes, they are ex-
pected to catch up on their own,
and' those who can't manage that
don't get to work in the, office.
The students spend one full day
in this program.
Wassmane reported some oth-
er groups in the community had
been discussing this subject and
some action was being taken, but
he said he could not disclose what
this was.
DEBATE DUMP
The subject of the resort's
dump in Bosanquet Township was
also broached when Clerk Des-
Jardins reported the village audi-
tor had questioned whether the
present expenditure for the dump
was justified.
At the present time, the resort
uses almost one mill to hire a
man to look after the ,dump and
also in the maintenance of the
grounds.
It was suggested the Township
of Bosanquet should be asked to
pay a portion of this cost in view
of the fact many township resid-
ents use the facilities.
It was decided to ask the town-
ship council to discuss the matter
at a meeting. ,
"I feel this should be a joint
effort," Wassmann stated.
Members also thought the pur-
chase of a large incinerator
should be discussed with Bos-
anquet and the department of
lands and forests. The latter
are involved because of the prox-
imity of the dump to the Pinery
park.
Earlier investigation indicat-
ed incinerator prices r anged
from $1,800 to $3,500 and Wass-
mann said such equipment could
lengthen the life of the dump
many years and would 'reduce the
fire hazard.
Council also decided to write
the Stephen Township School Area
board regarding the services of
a school traffic guard at the main
intersection.
At the present time, council
pays $500 per year' for a cross-'
ing guarcland Wassmarm said he
thought the school board should'
be paying this fee.
In other business, council:
Received a Centennial achiev-
ment award and decided to have
it framed and hung in the village
office.
Decided to have a contractor
investigate and submit prices
for installing new pilings at the
village dock area and also in cer-
tain sections where stream bank
erosion is occurring.
Asked that a letter' be written
Found Brothers Aviation asking
that the low flying of the firm's
test pilot be discontinued over
the village. ,

it would be .difficult to imple-

LITTLE INFO

as yet released its "white-pap-
er" detailing the ptopOsed change

They will be invited to par-
ticipate In the "Work Experience
Week" being planned by thebusi-
nes& and commerce department
at SHDHS. •
Letters will be sent to area
firms early in March ,outlining
,the program wider which grade
12 students in the four-year busi-
ness and commerce course will
be seeking experience In offices.
Don Webster, head of the de-
partment, explained the program
was being planned in an effort
to prepare the students for po-
sitions in business and industrial
offices and to establish closer co,
operation between the school and
the businessmen for whom these
students will eventually work.
Students will be available for
work from April 1 to April 5
inclusive and they will not ex-
pect any remuneration from the
employers who choose to co-
operate with the school in this
project.
Mr. Webster said he hoped to
find positions for all 25 mem-
bers of the clasp, who will be
prepared to do general office
duties such as typing, filing,
bookkeeping, etc.
While some of the students'
time will be spent in observa-
tion, he said he wanted the em-
ployers to put them to work rath-
er than just have them sitting
around.
A similar program has been
instituted at other schools in
Ontario with very good results —
particularly for the students.
"We just can't give them .the
same experience they would gain
from being in an office for a
week," Mr. Webster said in ex-
plaining the benefits.
"It's primarily for the stu-
dents' benefit and we hope the
business community will help
us," he added.
During the week, the five mem-
bers of the commercial depart-
ment teaching staff will be visit-
ing the students and in addition
each employer will be asked to
fill out an evaluation form plus
any comments he may have in
