To date, Conestoga College in Kitchener has about 60 trainee and 25 employer applications. People between the ages of 16 and 24 who have never held full-time employment in the career of their choice are eligible. They must be currently unemployed, looking for work and have been out of the educational system for at least three months. The Ontario government, through Conestoga College, pays the trainee a gross weekly payment of $100--from which income tax and unemployment insurance premiums are deducted. The trainee is respon- sible for his/her own Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) premiums. The weekly stipend is affected by attendance and $20 is deducted for each day absent. With approval, however; the trainee is encouraged to attend job interviews and creative job technique sessions during working hours. The trainee is considered present while attending these approved ,activi- ties. For more inforniation contact: OCAP, Conestoga College, 299 Doon Valley Drive, Kitchener, Ontario.

Huronview residents take spring drive Nine residents accepted the invitation to attend the dress rehearsal of the program "Vacation Canada" at the Victoria Public School, Goderich, on Monday afternoon. This was a musical program and was greatly appreciated by the residents. The annual spring drive, which is sponsored by the Exeter United Church, took place on Monday' evening. Forty members of the congregation provided cars but,' due to the inclement weather, the interest at the Home was disappointing. The residents who took advantage of the drive enjoyed it very much and we hope that another year the weatherman will be more co-operative.
