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. fine markets... of fine foods 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. The Parkhill crew is headed by foreperson, Barb Ratz, with Bridget Ryan, Carol Obituaries VICTORIA SOLDAN Suddenly at her late residence R.R. No. 1 Zurich, on Sunday June 24, 1979, Victoria Bolton.

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.
