Proceeds to Cancer Society - Art's Aggregation here June 6 The ' rt Christmas Aggregation from ..arnia gives full meaning to the director's surname and the group's theme song, Let There Be Peace on Earth. "I wanted personally to get involv- ed in serving the community more; serving and helping the various com- munity agencies; -and to assemble a group which, through singing, would have to be dedicated to the same pur- pose" , he explains. Well, 12 years and $90,000 in dona- tions to groups later. Art and the Ag- gregation_have all helped to make their own little bit of peace on earth. As part of their continuing service. the Aggregation will bring their popular show to South Iluron District High School in Exeter onSaturday, June 6. All proceeds from the event will go to the Huron Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. The Aggregation doesn't even charge for the large ex- penditure they face in travelling to Huron to entertain. While the list of groups and com- munity agencies which have benefit- ted from the Aggregation is extensive and varied, the work of the Cancer Society has a special place in Art's heart. He's had a bout with cancer and • claims he's walking and living proof that the diseasecan be beaten if detected in time. The Aggregation presents a show that will be enjoyed by every family • member. They come complete with an eight -piece orchestra, a 40 -voice choral gruop that has been acclaim- ed at every performance for their singing abilities and the humorous and delightful comedy numbers they perform in the fapt-paced program. Residents in Hdron are encourag- ed to get their tickets early because the Cancer Society must pre -sell at feast 300 tickets prior to May 30. Art explains it this way: "When we come to Exeter with two trunks of equip- ment and two buses filled with people there is considerable time and ex- pense involved which we cover and pre -pay. You pay us nothing except your good respoi)se and enjoyment of our program and we perform best when we have a'ood audience." To add incentive to buyers, those' who purchase before May 30 will be eligible for a draw that will result in the winner receiving a free dinner for two at Robindale's in Exeter. Ten others will be rebated the price of one ticket. Tickets are now available in Exeter at National Trust, the Times - Advocate and RSD Sports Den.

ENTERTAINING MOTHERS Juanita, Bernadine and Eleanora Kop are shown entertoining at a recent mothers and, daughters banquet at the Granton United Church. Capital and the Ontario Summer Employment Program will also pro- vide jobs for students. Under the Student Venture Capital Program, qualified students receive up to $3000 interest free!. to start a summer business. The Ontario Sum- mer Employment Program also pro- vides government funding, but for the employer. The -,program offers qualified employers an hourly wage subsidy of 11.25, as an incentive for hiring students. Further information on these programs and others is available at the office. Last summer, 60 percent of the over 600 jobs available through the Exeter Student -Employment Centre were . agriculturally-related.positions, a not surprising statistic given the rich agricultural land found locally. There were'227 opportunities for stone pick- ing jobs alone and over 150 more for other farm -related positions. Sandra predicts similar employment statistics for this summer and urges both employers offering similar posi- tions and students interested in this type of work`to contact the office as soon as possible. - Sandra also urges homeowners to investigate the services offered by the Student Centre. Should you need any type of job completed including clean- ing, grass cutting or leaf raking, en- thusiastic students are currently.and will be available throughout the sum- mer to handle the task, whether on a .permanent (cutting the lawn each week) or ori a "one-time only" basis (spring cleaning). Interested employers need only call in with the job position they want filled. - Qualified students are then referred to them, usually within 24 hours. The service is efficient and time -saving for the employer, but, more impor- tantly, it's free! If you are interested in hiring a stu- ' dent, ler any type of job,please call Sandra at 235-1711 (the phone is now in operation) or visit the new office faclities in the Centre Mall. Similar- ly students, elementary, secondary and post -secondary ones, are strong- ly'urged to visit the office to register for the summer ahead and to check for possible job opportunities. Cur- rently, many are available in the area. The 'office is open from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. ,{ Dashwood WI meets Seni�rs enjoy triptoi'.Info‘ By MRS.
