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 • nut to page • Area teens featured in Blyth .play: :this week Shane MacKinnon and Rachel grow until they reach mythic Brophy, of Lucknow, make their'PrOtotliona, Meet; Greta and . acting debuts today *sport of the ciec de for yourself.
