out," she said.

Election will create 360'
temporary jobs in Bruce••
By Patrick Raftis
BRUCE COUNTY --So, the Sep-
tember 6 provincialelection is
going to cost Ontario taxpayers
about $40. The news is not all bad.
Much of that money will be
returned to the economy through
temporary employment and demand
.for services by Elections Ontario.
Over 360 temporary jobs Will be
Created in Bruce riding alone, said
Karen Clark, of Winton, chief
returning officer for Bnice.
Two enumerators will be required
to Compile voters lists for each of
the 128 polls and four sub -polls in
the riding.
Clark is responsible for the hasty
assembly of the local election
workforce, a task she said is more
difficult during a summer election
such as this one.
"Summer is traditionally a time of
lower unemployment in Bruce
County," she said. However, she'
said all enumerating positions were
filled by last week.
Enumerators must attend an initial
training session, for which they are
paid. They then have four days to
complete the enumeration of their
polling district. knumerators are
paid a basic fee of $105 in rural
areas ($75 in urban areas) to cover
"driving and incidental expenses".
They also receive 52 cents for each
name on the voters list they hand
in, OA said. On the average, each
offing district, will contain about
350 eligible voiers.
Enumerators are requested to turn
have' their lists typed and are paid
an allowance for typing. If _their
lists are not typed, however, typists
are employed by the Returning
office in Wiarton and a satellite
office in Kincardine to type the
lists.
Typists are also required to type
enumeration notices for voters and
