New system for hospital The future of a community college in Huron County hangs in the balance unless more interest is shown by students in the county, In an interview on Friday, Ross Milton, Administrator of operations for Conestoga College of Applied Arts and Technology in Huron, said Conestoga is prepared to offer college courses beginning this fall at a campus in the county but that response from students has been minimal. He said space has already been reserved at Canadian Forces Base Clinton and he had prepared 18 courses based on the needs of business and industry within the county but so far the response has . been so lacking that "we are going to have a hard time justifying our budget." "If the people of Huron want a college in their midst then we must have people to train," Mr. Milton said. Mr. Milton, who has represented Conestoga in the county from his offices in Seaforth for nearly a year, said he has been examining the needs of the county during the time he has spent here and could almost guarantee jobs within the county to the graduates of the Clinton Campus. He said immediate plans for a college in Huron call for about 200 full-time students and 250 part- time students. "As soon as we have the students we're ready to go," Mr. Milton said. Mr. Milton explained that the courses are designed under 10 programs. These include: 1. The post-secondary plan, offering two and three-year diploma courses for high school graduates on a full-time, day school basis. 2. The Canada Manpower Training Plan, offering courses to teach specific skills for the Manpower and Immigration Department. These vary in length and include such things as teaching English to new Canadians or teaching skills such as welding. 3. Ontario Referral Plan, under which persons are trained in classes primarily meant for the Canada Manpower Training Plan but given to persons who do not qualify for benefits from Canada Manpower. 4. The Registered Nurse's, Assistant course, for persons being trained under the cer- tification of the College of Nurses or the Ontario Health Association. Some such training has been carried on in the county at times in the past. 5. The Management Development Plan, aimed at increasing the efficiency of the individual enterprises Graduates from this course can work up to an Ontario Manager's Cer- tificate. This course was for- merly offered by the Trade and Development Department. 6. Personal ' Enrichment Programs, offering short courses in such hobby-type past-times as ceramics and art. 7. Personal development courses to help the worker develop further skills in their line of work such as additional training for a welder who does not have training in a specific skill in welding. 8. Nurses Training, where the College makes a contract with a hospital to train a certain number of nurses. 9. The Agency Co-operative plan where training of a specific nature is offered in a course designed for a specific group such as the Independent Insurance Association, Faced with keen contests for every office, Huron Liberals at a dinner meeting in Hensall Wednesday elected John La Porte, RR 2 Zurich, president, In all, 16 candidates contested eight offices. In a race for executive vice president, Mrs. Don Adams, Brucefield, won out over three men, Dr. Morgan Smith, Bayfield, Paul Steckle, Zurich and Rob Brady, Seaforth, Nine candidates stood for the five positions of area vice president.

Census takers being lined up Census commissioners all over the country are busy lining up the census representatives who will deliver questionnaires to between 150 and 200 households, and do a follow up later to make sure they are completed and returned. Mrs. Harry Strang and Mrs. Ian McAllister are the com- missioners for this area. The 1971 census which begins June 1, 1971, will mark 100 years of national census taking in Canada, and will really be a combination of three censuses: a combined population and housing census; an agriculture census, and a merchandising census. This is the first time the census taker will not enter every house and apartment to ask the questions and note the answers. Instead, after identifying the household, he will simply leave a questionnaire and an instruction booklet. The head of the household will then be able to study the questionnaire, look up records, 'check doubtful points, and avoid any embarrassment some people feel when answering personal questions such as those relating to age, income and employment. Kathy Simmons, speaking to the congregation at a con- temporary youth service at Caven Church, Sunday, asked her listeners, "Are you a Dripout?" She said that a Dropout was someone who left a particular system, be it educational or organized church, because he found he could not operate ef- fectively within the system. But at least, everyone, including himself, knew where he stood. The Dripout, she suggested, was someone who sat on the fence, or continued in the same old pattern, oblivious to the needs of others, content to let somebody else carry the load; someone who might attend church but who didn't carry his religion through to his every day living. She reminded the audience that drips eventually become drops and urged them to get involved in life and make things easier for the next fellow. Another speaker on the program, Nancy Alexander, spoke on the plight of the Canadian Indians and named some of the problems that must be dealt with immediately to work out a fair deal with Canada's first citizens. Pat Connon, guest soloist, sang two numbers and accompanied herself on the guitar for one. The choir was made up of Sunday School children. Others taking part were Cynthia and Bruce Gunn, Barb Stanlake, Bonnie Campbell, Doug Easton, David Webster, Dan Laing, Beth Keyes, Gordon Jarvis, Robbie Peninga and Braden Whilsmith. The service was arranged by Dan Laing, Mrs. Donald Webster and Rev. Wilfred Jarvis. Seek ways to speed meetings After being in session for over four hours, Monday, Exeter council named a committee to present ideas on how their meetings can be streamlined. The executive committee of Mayor Delbridge, Reeve Boyle, Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor and Councillor Ross Taylor will undertake the project to submit to the next council meeting. One of the suggestions presented by Taylor was that any deputations wishing to appear before council shhould make their business known to the clerk several days prior to council meeting. In this way, the committee involved could investigate the matter and have some suggestions for council. Councillor Bruce Shaw also urged that more work be un- dertaken by each committee to complete the necessary ground- work for items on which decisions are to be made. By MRS.

McKaig's letter of last week, surely Mrs. McKaig, you know that Canada's first lady is not the, wife of the Prime Minister, but rather the wife of the Governor General, and I'll wager you don't know her first name. I do agree however that it is unthinkable that the P.M. and his wife should eat at the Piggery. It is much too small. The P.M. always takes a crowd with him on the numerous holiday jaunts, Ceylon etc. — 60 MP's and their wives. This year to Moscow, 80 MP's etc. I would however like to see him and his child bride make such a visit to the Exeter area and carry out the program as outlined by the newspaper. I am sure that judging by past experiences it could be done at no more cost to the taxpayer than two million dollars. Let's hope this can be arranged during the summer when .we're all away on holiday. Sincerely yours Clara Johnston Kindergarten Registration USBORNE CENTRAL SCHOOL friday, April 30 1 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Children born as of Dec. 31, 1966 or before are eligible Please bring immunization records and birth certificate Jerry Arnold & Sons ESSO HOME HEAT SERVICE RR 2 DASHWOOD 2382649 10.

Charles church event MacNaughton, could be defeated, Mrs. Steele said that ,"in this election year, I bring a message of hope to the Liberals of Huron County". She went on to em- phasize that while Premier Davis was spending money like mad "things are not the same in rural Ontario." No one should be fooled by Y outh conduct publicity from the Conservatives that the election would be a two- way fight between the Tories and the NDP, she warned. As evidence, she offered a number of examples of hotly contested and very well attended Liberal nominating meetings. "The Liberals are the only real alternative to the Tories" she said.
