Businessmen and farmers in the Huron-Middlesex area are encouraged to consider em- ployment for the students this summer, if they have not already done so. Unless something is done to give our young people an op- portunity to work many will find themselves in serious financial difficulties in the upcoming 1976- 1977 academic year. The students are eager, versatile, physically capable, and above all, want to work. I urge prospective employers to contact their local Canada Manpower Centres without delay. Students, too, should use their initiative, Every working person you know is a job connection. Your school or college placement centres can help you. You should talk to your guidance counsellor, read the want ads in the newspapers everyday and call previous employers, Don't wail. As soon asyou hear of something, check it out. You won't be the only student applying for that job. Chesley and District Memorial Hospital and Willett Hospital in Paris appear to be on solid ground in seeking provincial financing to continue in operation for a further six months. The Acting Health Minister has in- dicated that the two hospitals will receive the same consideration as Toronto's Doctors' Hospital, Clinton Public Hospital and Durham Memorial Hospital, which will be receiving financing to continue operating during the Government's appeal against a Divisional Court ruling on the legality of its hospital closing procedure. Incidentally, the Ontario Medical Association has stated that it will demand a say in any future decisions by the provincial government to close hospitals. A spokesman for the OMA said the organization is violently opposed to the way the government at- tempted the closings, and that if future closures are con- templated, hospital workers and people of the community in which a hospital is located must be consulted because the medical association would not tolerate "these Gestapoesque type of manoeuvres" in the future. He also said the provincial govern- ment has never proven the hospital closing program will save $50 million, especially as patients will have to be treated elsewhere and workers will have to receive unemployment in- surance. Liberal leader Stuart Smith has called upon the government to impose stringent limits on levels of vinyl chloride gas within in- dustrial plants. The Acting Health Minister has agreed that permissible levels of airborne vinyl chlorides must be dramatically reduced. She has indicated, however, that although reports from other countries link cancer deaths to vinyl chloride exposure, there is no pathological * When unit is closed after cooking, ashes drop automatically into lower tray for easy disposal . . and trapped heat incinerates grease and scraps on the grills — just like a self-cleaning oven!

The Minister told reporters that the provincial Occupational Health Branch had reviewed statistics for the last five or six years to determine whether liver cancer deaths in Ontario might be linked to ex- posure to vinyl chloride gas among industrial workers, but that this survey had shown no connection between such ex- posure of workers and anglosarcoma, a rare form of liver cancer which has been linked to exposure to the gas in industries in Quebec and the U.S. Subsequently Ministry officials indicated they had no knowledge of the survey to which the Minister referred. The Ontario Government has spent $6 million on preliminary designs for a successor to the ill- fated Krauss-Maffei magnetic cushion train. The Urban Transportation Development Corporation Limited is seeking substantially more money over the next three years to bring the preliminary designs to the brink of production, although the corporation refuses to say publicly how much it is requesting, partly because its request has not yet gone to the Cabinet and partly because it is still negotiating with the sup- pliers of components. As a spokesman for the UTDC ex- pressed it, the $6 million has been spent over the past year "to pick up the pieces of Krauss-Maffei". The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, the Honourable Sidney 1-fandleman, said that the article in the Globe and Mail which reported that the Travel Industry Compensation Fund is running out of money, is absolutely untrue. Mr. Han- cileman said that the Com- pensation Fund is very healthy. He had a statement in hand which reflected that as of May 11, the assets of the fund stood at $542,267.80. If the amount of claims paid or approved is deducted then the total balance is $475,262. If the combined out- standing claims of both con- sumers and agents totalling $137,410 are deducted then the total balance is $337,852. Operating expenses charged to the fund up until the end of March were just in excess of $11,000 so that the bottom-line figure after all deductions is still in excess of $325,000. The Minister said this is not a static figure which continues to diminish as more claims are made against the Fund. It is hoped the amount will continue to grow as agents and wholesalers make their required quarterly contributions. He said the Fund was established under the Travel Industry Act to com- pensate consumers for the loss of prepaid travel funds. According to the Minister the Fund is in good financial shape and he is confident that it will be able to meet any commitments levied against it in the event of further problems in the industry. .Zero Clearance Can be installed practically ANYWHERE!.

NCI-1A CAMPERS who attended the weekend campout at the Exeter Fairgrounds held a parade on Saturday. George and Gloria Barrett of Stoney Creek wheel their "Redcoat" cannon along Andrew St. as they head back to the campgrounds, Rumor has it that the cannon went off during the parade, but ammunition was of the firecracker variety.
