Students' summer jobs increase Times-Advocate, June 27, 1979
The summer employment
situation for students in the
Exeter area is quite good
according to Carol Wood
ward, student placement
officer for the Exeter office
of the Canada Employment
Centre.
Woodward said
placements for period from
May to June 21 are up 30
percent over the same period
a year ago.
Placements this month are
doubled what they were in
1978.
The University of Western
Ontario music student said
there were several factors
involved in the increase such
as a more buoyant economy
in the area, and a greater
awareness on behalf of local
employers of the centre’s
services.
Another possible reason
for the increase in
placements is that the public
is now aware that a student
can be had for a few days to
do clean-up work around a
home or short term farm
work.
To date, 125 students have
been placed in jobs through
the centre, Woodward said.
In June, 25 students have
been placed in casual em
ployment situations.
“It’s fairly easy for a
student to get a job around
here,” Woodward stated,
adding that the students
attitude was of primary
importance.
Students entering the
labour force for the first time
still have the most difficult
time securing full-time
summer employment while
on the other side of the
ledger, post secondary
school students have no
problem finding em
ployment. Out of 40 com
munity college, agricultural
college or university
students who registered, 29
are now working.
A major problem in the
Exeter area is the need for
students to have tran
sportation to and from their
place of employment.
Woodward had praise for
the employers saying she
was very pleased with
response which she had
received.
While most employees
have hired their summer
help Woodward urged
students not working to keep
looking. As a part of a
program to secure more
casual jobs in Exeter,
students were making local
residents aware of their
availability this past week.
A total of 255 Exeter
students registered since
February but Woodward
cautioned this was not an
indication of the number of
students who were actually
searching for work or
available for employment.
“Many have found em
ployment and haven’t let us
know,” she said.
Most of the jobs available
are in the farm and factory
areas.

ATTEND OPENING — A I arge number of people attended Wednesday's opening of the ad
dition to South Huron Hospital. A canopy shaded some from the sun. After the ceremonies, the
Ladies Auxiliary served refreshments and the guests enjoyed a tour of the new facilities.
Timbrell would be happy
hearing hospital reports
While hospital bed cuts
continue to be a source of
controversy for Health
Minister Dennis Timbrell, he
probably would have gained
some respite had he taken
time out to attend Monday
night’s annual meeting of the
South Huron Hospital
Association.
Board chairman Dr.
Garnet Leitch reported he
was concerned with bed cuts,
but told the small audience
“we think we can still
provide adequate patient
care within these restric
tions”.
He said it appeared the
hospital would retain 28
acute and 12 chronic care
beds next year.
The balance sheet also
incicated the local hospital
had managed to live within
the health ministry’s
guidelines last year. Auditor
Art Read of G.H. Ward and
Partners reported the
hospital had a net income of
$3,107 last year and had
operated $1,500 under the
government ceiling.
The written reports given
by various people at the
meeting were received
without comment or
discussion and the session
lasted for less than half and
hour.
The only item that didn’t
fall neatly into place was
concerning the appointment
of auditors for the coming
year. Dr. Leitch said the
finance committee felt that a
greater discussion was
needed prior to the ap
pointment of auditors this
year and quickly had the
matter set over for a board
meeting.
The addition which was
officially opened on Wed
nesday consumed most of
the efforts of board and staff
members last year, with the
work to meet the standards
of the Canadian
Accreditation Council
placing second. •
In reference to the latter,
Dr. Charles Wallace said he
felt the medical, nursing and
administration staff have
made good progress in this
direction but added that
“nothing seems to please
them (Accreditation
Council) but we continue to
try”.
Administrator Tom
Hudson said the new addition
had resulted in improved
Teenagers face
charges of theft
Three teenage girls have
been charged with theft as a
result of the investigation by
Exeter Constable Kevin
Short into recent thefts of
flowers and flower boxes.
During last week, four
thefts occurred of flowers
and flower boxes from the
front of verandahs of homes
along William, Anne and
Marlborough streets.
In all, about 15 potted
plants were stolen and have
been recovered.
The three females charged
range in age from 16 to 18
and will be appearing in
Exeter court in July.
Constable Brad Sadler is
investigating the theft of a
purse from a car which had
been parked at the South
Huron rec centre on
Saturday. The purse was
owned by Mrs. Winnifred
Wilds, RR 3 Dashwood.
It was later recovered,
with the money missing.
working conditions for staff
and improved services to the
public and director of nur
sing, Audrey Pooley, en
thusiastically concurred
with that in her report.
“For some of us it was
hard to believe it was really
happening at South Huron
Hospital as we have waited
for this for a long time,” she
commented, adding that all
staff and medical personnel
were pleased with the
modern emergency
department.
She told the audience the
nursing staff members have
been involved in service
education through the past
year and have been working
hard to gain accreditation.
In his report, property
committee chairman Jim
Kneale said the final touches
will be added to the addition
this year, includung land
scaping and a change from
oil to gas as a primary fuel
source.
He said the total cost will
be approximately $705,000
when it is completed and
said the committee have
further plans under con
sideration that would see a
sun deck to be built to
provide patients with the
opportunity to enjoy the
outdoors when weather
permits.
Both Dr. Leitch and
finance committee chairman
Bob Dinney thanked those
who had made bequests and
gifts to the hospital through
the past year.
“It is impossible to
estimate the future needs of
our hospital and we would
encourage people to consider
their hospital in the future
for support in the form of
bequests,” Dinney com
mented in his report. The
addition was made possible
through local bequests and
gifts, along with a grant
from Huron County.
Bequests last year came
from the estates of Peter
Eisebach, Luella Walper,
Josephine Sanders, Henry
Appleton and Ruby Miners.
Once again, members of
the Hospital Women’s
Auxiliary drew praise for
their contributions.
The president of that
organization, Mrs. Lillian
Campbell, noted that 3,600
hours of service had been
given by members to the
hospital, excluding those
given in planning, com
mittee meetings and at the
rummage sales.
Receipts from the two
rummage sales in 1978
totalled $8,561.
Mrs. Campbell also
reported that the teen
volunteer program con
ducted by the Auxiliary had
resulted in Candy Stripers
giving a total of 2,500 hours
of service to the hospital in
1978.
Students start projects
in A-B watershed area
The Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority is,
once again, taking part in the
Ontario Government’s
Experience ’79 program.
Twenty-three participants
are currently involved in
tasks that encompass every
aspect of conservation, from
planning and education to
construction and im
plementation of practices
designed to promote the wise
use of soil and water.
Since the need for com
prehensive master planning
has become an increasingly
important part of the
planning process, the
Authority has engaged the
services of two University of
Western Ontario graduates
through the Experience
program. Paul Burton is
currently involved in the
Regier, Mike Walters, Mona
Hodgins and Teri Lynn
Witherspoon as crew
members.
The Exeter crew is under
the direction of foreperson
Lori Sims with John
Stephens, Brenda Hodgert,
Doug Scott, Donna Stewart
and Susan Stretton com
prising the remainder of the
crew. These people will be
engaged in the maintenance
and continuing development
of the Authority’s Con
servation Areas.
The labour crews will also
be involved with some local
municipalities, assisting in
projects that are designed to
improve soil and water
quality as well as local
recreational opportunities.
Soil erosion control projects
such as the seeding of sloDes.
installation of rip-rap and
gabions, as well as private
land demonstrations will
also be undertaken by the
Experience students.
The improvement of
municipal parks through
development of facilities,
ranging from trails to ad
venture playgrounds, may
also be undertaken by the
students this summer.
To date, the Village of
Bayfield and Stanley
Township have received
assistance from Experience
crews, with future work
slated for the Village of
Grand Bend the Towns of
Lucan and Seaforth. The
Authority will, however, still
consider requests from other
municipalities that can offer
projects related to the
aforementioned guidelines.

A master plan for the
Parkhill Conservation Area
is nearing completion, under
the direction of John Small,
and will soon be submitted to
the Ministry of Natural
Resources. The plan outlines
development within the
Conservation Area for the
next ten years including
projects such as wildlife
plantings, reforestation and
the possible construction of a
new activity centre within
the Park.
Susan Hoogenboom, a
biologist, and forester Cindy
Dunsford, are undertaking a
life-science inventory within
the Ausable Gorge and Hay
Swamp areas. They will be
identifying the dominant
species inhabiting these
areas as well as any rare or
endangered ones. Barbara
Borrowman, another
graduate of U.W.O. is em
ployed as
Education
Technician and is busy
designing and preparing
conservation education kits.
Barbara has also been ac
tively involved with many of
the elementary schools, in
the watershed; conducting
tours in and around the
Conservation Areas.
Many of the designs,
contained in Authority
displays and exhibits, are
the work of Ernie Burden, a
graphics design artist from
Fanshawe College.
In addition to
aforementioned technical
positions, four students have
been hired to serve in an
interpretive capacity at
Rock Glen and Parkhill
Conservation Areas. Mary
McLeod and Susan Albertson
will staff a display trailer at
Rock Glen as well as offering
guided tours through that
park.
In Parkhill, Ann Dearing
and Marion Watson will be
assisting in the co-ordination
of recreational activities for
campers throughout the
summer. It is hoped that
these four people can make
your visits to Rock Glen and
Parkhill Conservation Areas
a more educational and
enjoyable experience.
The labour component of
this summer’s Experience
program consists of 12
students forming two work
crews which will be co
ordinated by Senior
Supervisor John Smithers.

information was available
last year, it (the appeal)
would have never been
passed.”
He said each
municipality’s share of the
$9,323 Bayfield tax trim was
almost insignificant.
Goderich would have paid
the largest share-$l,430. The
town paid $1,292 extra last
year because of the appeal.
It expected to pay only $143.
Brussels council thought it
would get a $24 credit when
the equalization factor was
recalculated in 1978. Instead
it paid an additional $60. The
village would have had to
pay $103 more in 1979 to
make up for the Bayfield tax
reduction.
