ASHLEY TAYLOR
Making the trade
CHSS
student
signs as
apprentice
By Bonnie Gropp
Citiren editor
Involvement in the co-op program
has led to a unique placement for a
Blyth student.
Ashley Taylor, a Grade 12 student
at Central Huron Secondary School
in Clinton, has been signed as the
first female industrial electrician
apprentice with the Avon Maitland
District School Board. Sponsored by
the board and CHSS, Taylor is
working with electrician Rob Kunz.
Teacher Maxine Keske said that
the co-op educators have been
working on getting students signed
as apprentices in trade areas, "With
the nature of an apprenticeship it's
better if students are signed during
the co-op term. They can then do
certain skills which they would not
be permitted to do as a student," she
said.
She adds that it gives students the
advantage of having all their co-op
hours count towards their
apprenticeship. "Plus they can
already say when applying at a
workplace that they are signed as an
apprentice."
Keske said that employers are
seeing the advantages. "We are
begiffning to notice a change in
attitude. It opens possibilities for
skills to he developed earlier."
For the employer it means helping
someone get a start without having
to pay them. The young people
benefit financially and as well, as
they would have to pay $40 to apply
as an apprentice if not a student.
Congratulations to Glen Gibson of
Goderich on winning the 125th
calendar draw for March 1.
Come out and help the Legion
Ladies Auxiliary raise money for the
Clinton Public Hospital by playing
progressive euchre on Thursday,

Hall.
Sorry to hear that Stan Glousher is
in Wingham Hospital. Janet LaWrie
is in Stratford hospital recovering
after surgery. We wish them a
speedy recovery.
Doug and Barb Howson were the
greeters, at Blyth United Church on
Sunday, March 3. Margaret Kai was
guest musician.
The gospel reading and responsive
psalm were led by Elva Brown.
Rev. Bannerman held up a sheet of
paper with a black dot on it and
asked the children what they saw.
Some saw a ball, a black circle, an
oval circle. He asked them again
what they saw and then they saw the
piece of white paper with a dot on it.
His story was that this is what
happens a lot of times when
someone does something wrong or
bad. We only see what they did
wrong not what else they did that
was good and kind. We should all
look for the big picture not just what
was bad.
Rev:*Bannerman's message to the
adults was Love's Circle. He used
the parable of the man who sowed
good seed in his field, but while he
slept his enemy came and sowed
weeds among the wheat. When the
plants came up and bore the grain
and weeds also appeared the man
told his servants to let them grow up
together and when harvest came
they could gather the weeds and
burn them and gather the wheat into

They discussed a letter received
from Keith Rou/ston regarding
suggested plans for a number of
mini-museums containing pictures,
etc. of Blyth's history. These would
be located in various locations
throughout the village. We may
request a presentation. Roulston

discuss the project.
