Hire students this week June 18-25 is hire a student week and the thoughts of area employers turn to their own summer jobs as students. Now in a position to employ students in their organiza- tions they find that the qualities that they look for in future employers are the same ones that employers looked for in them a few years ago. Betty Oke, clerk treasurer of Hensall worked as a mother's helper and then as kitchen help at Oakwood Inn for two years. During her third summer at Oakwood. Betty was promoted to the dining room. From her summer job ex- periences, Betty learned to get along with all types of peo- ple - both the customers and her. supervisor. She learned to please an employer by doing the job that she was expected to do. As clerk treasurer of Hen- sall, Betty was involved with the summer hiring of several students for the Hensall playground and for work in the Municipal office. In her employees, she looks for outgoing, confident people who can sell themselves dur- ing an interview. Betty notes. that preparation for an inter- view is extremely important. She adds that a student should know something about the position they are applying for. By researching a job, students will be able to ex- plain how their background makes them the best person for the job. Roger Sheeler, ad- ministrator at South Iluron Hospital worked and lived on a farm during his high school years. Ile then worked for a Canadian oil company. This position led him to Toronto and a full time job. In .the students that Mr. Sheeler hired this summer for work, at the hospital, he look- ed for maturity, self initiative and a pleasant personality. During an interview, Mr. Sheeler tries to put people at ease by discussing things that they are familiar with and feel comfortable with such as an activity thathe/she is in- volved in. Sheeler adds that students should look for a job that they think they will enjoy GOETTI,ER 'S OF DUBLIN A STORE FULL OF BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE On the Main Street of Dublin 315 2250 doing. "They should be confi- dent. believe they can do the job and believe in themselves!" he remarked. Contrary to what most employers and job, search consultants say, Mr. Sheeler finds persistant •job seekers who frequently call back to be very irritating and prefers when applicants are more considerate of the busy schedule that he and his staff have. Ed Rodenburg, manager of the Exeter District Co -Op worked on farms during high school much as Mr. Sheeler did. While studying crop science at the University of Guelph Ed worked at a fac- tory and for a chemical com- pany doing herbicide research. At the Co -Op, Ed likes to hire students who are energetic and who are really keen to work. Because the Co - Op is a customer oriented business, the students must be neat, polite, well mannered and know how to relate to the public. Ed finds that ex- tracurricular activities are an excellent indication of a stu- dent's potential as an employee. Any past work ex- perience is also important. "The type of job is not as im- portant • as • the fact that the student was at least working and gaining some ex- perience," Ed notes. For students and employers who would like to gain or give some work experience this summer, drop by the Canada Employment Centre for Students at 305 Main Street.

A major two-year study being conducted this year and ne1it, by a consulting firm for the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority Is seeking to determiitte,what ,parts of Hay Swamp a>'e,most- important, and consequently, need protection. Paragon Engineering Ltd. of Kitchener has been chosen. from five consulting firms to undertake the $36,000 study. Alec Scott, Water Resources Co-ordinator with the Conser- vation Authority explains that, "Paragon was not the least costly proposal submit- ted, but in addition to cost, we evaluated the technical gttali- ty of the proposals as well. We felt Paragon's proposal, because of the scope of the work they were recommen- ding and the methods they were going to use to do the work, was our best buy." The purpose of the Hay Swamp Water Management Study is to determine the general biologic and social importance of the Swamp with special emphasis being placed on the Swamp's role in flood control, water quality and water supply. This infor- mation will be used"by the A.B.C.A. in consultation with the townships of Hay and Stephen, . to determine a detailed management plan for Hay Swamp. Scott notes that. "because of the many different reasons Says police morale high The Exeter police depart- ment received a highly com- plimentary report from On- tario Police Commission ser- vices officer I.C. Alexander following his recent inspection. "I found the Exeter police force to be well managed. A good relationship exists het - ween the chief, his personnel and the police committee of council," he concluded. 4. In his report, Alexander said he found moraleeto he high: About two years oho there had been a period of dissatisfaction, but that np longer exists, he reported, ad- ding that comrsaderie audeet oellent rapport has been `'established. He termed asr"s'.'dti" novative idea and worthy of note by other police forces in small communities" a file that is maintained by the local, police on all local bank employees to be used in the event of a hostage taking situation. The files contain photographs of employees, their addresses, children's names and schools attended and motor vehicle licence number. "A review of the crime statistics for 1983 revealed that the force had a remarkable clearance rate for the offence of break and enter," he noted. Slightly over 78 percent of all break and enters for that year were cleared by arrest or otherwise. Theft up in air Somewhere in the area there is a thief having a ball...literally. On Friday, rec director Lynne Farquhar reported that an air ball had been stolen from the South Huron rec centre. The ball is six feel in diameter, white outside with a blue bladder inside. A picture of the earth is drawn on the outside of the ball. which has an approximate value of $600. Town police are also in- vestigating a breakin at the Good Times Eating Em- porium on Main St. The byeakin was discovered Saturday. Police say a con- siderable amount of money was reported stolen.. or Hay swamp baling an im- t area therearemany options to opnsider in develop- tog the bestiplan of, manage= Wit. The HHaayy Swamp Water ' Management Study will enable. us to:QompaEe cora-. • IN uses ' the area and+. t 3iaveit ment. In addition to flood con- trol and water quality, we have to take into account foresfitry, h and wildlife; recreation and agriculture." "Hay Swamp's significance for agriculture," says Scott, "is two -fold." "First the Swamp is thought to be con- tributing considerably to the base flows in the Ausable River and Black Creek. These base flows are extremely im- portant to farmeiS'currently drawing water kor irrigation. Secondly there %re parts of Hay Swamp that probably should never be converted to .agriculture, while for other parts agriculture could very well be the best use. These are the kinds of decisions we - hope to be able to make bas- ed on the information col- lected in the Study." The Study's {methodology will in part, involve the establishment of a stream_ flow monitoring network. This network will consist of.a series of stream gauging sta- tions and staff gauges. Sampl- ing for water quality will also be conducted. A.B.C.A. staff will assist the consulting firm with much of this work "a very cost effective arrange- ment and an ideal way to keep track of the Study's pro- te�," �1�itt,� Scott, Aiitiitting with the Hay cly,, will be Ifni Ltd., an en- vironmenta'I resource management consulting firm located in Kitchener. Ecologistics will be responsi- ble for the biological and recreation aspects of the Study. The many diverse aspects to the Hay Swarpp Water Management Study has led to the establishment of a steer- ing committee. Represented on the steering committee are the provincial ministries of Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Hay Swamp Study Area CREDITOR .

Sentenced for high speed. A drinking Listowel diver who roared along Main Street in Lucan at speeds exce ding - 1410 and 100 km/h in a Olen car was sentenced to 22 months in reformatory Thursday. Larry Eldon Lorene, 23, pleaded guilty in provincial court in London to criminal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, car theft, at- tempted car theft and damage. to a car. Lorenz stole a car late Feb. 2 from a Listowel man who left the keys on the floor of his late -model vehicle, Assistant Crown Attorney Al Mac- Donald told the court. He was clocked after midnight on police radar on Highway 4 about two kilometres south of Exeter doing 146 km/h in an 80 -km/h zone, the prosecutor said. With roof lights flashing and his siren wailing, the of- ficer followed Lorenz who was increasing speed as he headed south. MacDonald told provincial Judge Douglas Walker. Meanwhile, the officer radioed for help and a second cruiser went to wait south of the fast-moving Lorenz. The waiting officer was forced on- to the shoulder of the road as Lorenz's vehicle sped past him, nearly colliding with the cruiser, the court learned. Lorenz continued south, for- cing several other vehicles off the road, and reached speeds of more than 160 km/h on Main Street in Lucan, Mac- Donald said. He eventually reached Highbury Avenue in London where he slowed down, slid sideways and was arrested after he got stuck, the proscutor said. A breathalyser reading taken about an hour later showed• a reading of 140 A LEGION AWARD -- Lucan legion president Gord Clubb presented o Green Star award to Allan Cottel at Thursday's annual graduation of the Huron -Middlesex Cadet Corps.

Lorenz was sentenced to nine months for stealing the car and nine months con- secutive for the criminal negligence. Ile received four School grants Continued from page 1 meeting but no details of the announcement have been sent to the board from the ministry. Until the details are known, he couldn't make a comment. Perth board chairman, Howard Shantz of Stratford, said he hasn't any "difficulty with the announcement". "In my own mind it will on- ly improve the system,"said Shantz, the separate school supporter for Stratford. Bob Allan, director for the Huron ('ounty Board of Education, said -fit hasn't any details of the announcement either, but he has an im- mediate concern when the board already has more buildings than it needs. "It will have a very pro- found impact on Ontario schooling", commented Allan. Ile said he will have to wait until the---tfuron-Perth Separate School Board makes a decision. The Huron director said he is concerned that if;Catholic secondary school was set up in Huron County, it would leave the current public high schools with smaller enrolments and the problems encoipltered with small bigh schools. The Bluewater Regional Newspaper Network was unable to reach Huron Board of Education chairman Eugene Frayne of RR 3 Goderich. Frayne is the ,separate school represen: tative on the board for the Catholic ratepayers north of Highway 8. NEW DIRECTORS Two new directors were named to the South Iluron llospital Association at the annual meeting last week. Jack Drysdale, Hensall, replaces Bill Smith as that community's representative, while Larry Wein replaces Al Rankin as one of the Exeter representatives. Smith', who has served the board since 1978, retired due to the fact he plans to spend the winter months in the south. Rankin has left the com- munity due to a business transfer to Calgary. months consecutive for two unrelated incidents in which the farm worker damaged one vehicle April 7 and at- tempted to steal another in early May. Defence lawyer Peter Behr said Lorenz, who has been in custody since May 5. has a lengthy record of property offences. and Food and of course the A.B.C.A. Mr. Scott explains the need for such a steering committee by noting that, "the study will only be effec- tive if it integrates all resource management con- cerns. It only makes sense then to involve the ministries" who are responsible at the• provincial level for resource management." Funding for the Hay Swamp Study has come most- ly from the province. T Conservation Alrthority wi receive 85 percent of the Study's cost in the form of t# 50 percent basic grant and 35 percent supplementary grant -from the province. The re- mainder emainder of the cost will be paid through the A.B.C.A,'s general municipal levy. Grant discount Northlander Industries has, been granted a discount in the charges levied for the firm's use of the Exeter dump. Acting on a recommenda- tion from the public works committee, council agreed to discount the firm one load for every five based on a monthly status. In answer to a question from Councillor Gaylan Josephson regarding the situation, Mayor Bruce Shaw explained that the firm takes a load to the dump each day, but it has been noted by Coun- cillor Dorothy Chapman that the material is all burnable and therefore requires no bulldozing and does not take up any space. Shaw said the firm present- ly pays about $2,500 a year for dump use and the new deal will result in a reduction of about $500 in that figure. The committee recom- mended that a request from Darling's IGA be denied for the use of the dump to dispose of material from their store ip Lucan. The firm inquired whether they would be allowed to take refuse from Lucan to the Ex- eter dump in view of the fact they owned property in Ex- eter as well. NDP nominate Continued from page 1 explains. "A campaign is more than the 50 days." Although recent opinion polls have shown a decline it the New Democratic . Party support, Bolton remains optimistic. "1 don't think too murhr about opinion polls," she says. "The NDP will not be wiped off of the map like some peo- ple predict. We need the NDP, rather than just personalities, now more than ever." /.
