Those were the words of reeve Bob Sharen at Mon­ day's meeting of Grand Bend village council Sharen was referring to Grand Bend’s share of Lambton county taxes which is expected to be up only $250 from last year. He said while the general county rate would be up about six percent. Grand Bend’s increase would be less than one-half of one per­ cent. The very small increase was explained by Sharen. He said. “Our percentage of the Resort's county levy increases only $250 county assessment is down because of a high rate of development in two areas of Sarnia township ” Sharen continued, “The county budget could be cut some more and it’s possible we could be back to our 1979 levy of about $49,000.” The village's animal coun- trol bylaw was updated with some changes in remunera­ tion for dog catcher Donna Aitken. Mrs Aitken will receive $6 per hour while on patrol in the summer resort. 20 cents per mile for travelling to and from her home near Thedford. $5 for each dog picked up and $5 per day for keeping a dog in a pound' Councillor Harold Green questioned paying mileage both ways when Mrs. Aitken is also the Bosanquet dog catcher and must pass through that municipality on the way to Grand Bend. He was told by clerk Louise Clipperton that Mrs. Aitken does not carry out patrols in Bosanquet. but. is on call only.

Experience ‘79 is also available and Crawford ask­ ed for two persons who could design and operate a playground program in the proposed parkette. The councillor suggested washroom and shower facilities should be es­ tablished in the parkette. He added. "The showers on the beach are completely overworked."

Fanshawe’s apprentice­ ship programs, in trades regulated by the Industrial Training Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, combine in­ college courses with on-the- job training. The in-school portion of the hairdressing apprentice program allows students to acquire practical skills and theoretical knowledge to complement their on-the-job training in established hairdressing salons. The electrical apprentice program provides the theoretical knowledge of electricity required to install and service circuits and equipment encountered in electrical construction and maintenance, and also in­ cludes study of pertinent electrical regulations and practice. This program leads to a career as a skilled electrician in any of the many industries which use electrical equipment. Three levels of instruction are provided in the motor vehicle mechanic apprentice program. At the basic and intermediate level students are exposed to the con- struction, function, operating principles, and service requirements of conventional vehicle systems. The advanced program covers testing and diagnosis of vehicle systems as wed as a greater in-depth study of modern vehicle systems. Course par­ ticipants, already employed as apprentices by garages and dealerships, are in high demand. Graduates from this area as electricians were David Dykeman, Exeter; James R. Orr, Grand Bend; and Brian G. McLean, Ilderton. Donald E. Wilson, Cen­ tralia; Rodger E. Fink- beiner, Dashwood; and William A.
