Numerous younger people not seeking full time employment make themselves available to homeowners for such odd jobs as washing cars, painting and cutting grass. Last year the . part-time employment venture was not as successful as an- ticipated mainly because the public was not aware of the service. "Employers think they have to be a factory or a construction company to hire students," Gary said. "We want to promote the part-time work this summer. In the short time the centre has been open Gary is more than satisfied with the response • of employers. Already the jobs available range from factory labor to sales jobs to am- bulance drivers. Last year the centre was able to fill almost all of the vacancies it had and only a' few students were left without jobs. They were mainly younger students in search of part-time labor. However, the centre does experience some difficulty with placements in the outlaying areas of Huron County. Simply a matter ,Qf geography the response by „employers and employees gets worse the farther it -is from the Goderich centre. Gary Gary would like to establish an office in Clinton as well which would be more central - to the needs of the county. If he receives a good response from students and employers in Clinton then he may approach council for approval of the scheme. It is not always easy to find a summer job and at times it can seem like a painfully slow process but with two capable people to do most of legwork it sure makes the prospects look a little brighter. Mary Ann Gielen and Gary Walden of the §tudent Manpower Centre in Goderich have been busy contacting prospective employers about summer employment and predict a surprisingly good year for Huron County students.

This week, Philip Walker, a 40.year-old Grand Bend resident, announced he will seek the nomination for the New Democratic Party here. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, he did some post graduate work at McGill University before returning to Grand Bend where he has been working .with his father, Fred Walker, former proprietor and owner of Oakwood Inn and Golf Club. Mr. Walker is married with one daughter. Nomination day for the NDP in Huron -Middlesex will be in mid-May Mr. Walker predicts a lively election campaign in Ontario because he feels there is more interest in provincial matters now than there has been for several years. In his prepared statement, Mr. Walker had this to say: "I feel that 32 years of one- party rule in Ontario has created an increasing desire for change among the people. The events of the st,ten Year*. or o have indicated 'many examples of the ,need 'for change of government, .ur.e. .,- ' thatvri more and. more peo ole are realizing i this need a. f a change, The present ad., ministration appears to 'be getting further andfurther out of touch with the needs and wishes of the majority, of the, citizens of this province. "Oi tario is facing in. 'creasingly serious econoarnie problems due to rapidly rising energy costs and dwindling supplies, increasing unem- ployment due partly to foreign • domination In both the raw materials and manufacturing sectors of the economy, and the simultaneous problems of ' urban crowding and rural depopulation. The gradual but ' more or less. continuous :decay of agriculture is a particularly serious problem in Huron County. "I believe that the New Democratic Party has both more ideas and better ideas for policies tb cope with the problems facing Ontario today. The NDP is prepared to tackl these problems in a corny" prehensive and effective manner rather than merely talk about them and study them. "We need action on a greater scale today than ever before." Gaunt demands farm income protection Rapidly rising operating costs coupled with falling commodity prices underline the necessity for immediate implementation of a farm in- come protection plan in Ontario, Murray Gaunt (L—Huron-Bruce) said last week.

"I think consumers and peoplegenerally in this province are recognizing that stable production is preferable _to instability both for producers and for consumers," he said. "Farmers can no.. longer assume all the risks involved in, producing food. They have now come to the point where they can't survive by simply tightening their belts. 7 Resistance on the part of consumers 'to higher food prices makes it increasingly difficult for farmers to get a fair and adequate return for their efforts from the marketplace, he added. "The minister has to come in with a much more adequate stabilization plan than has been so far evidenced. "This would guarantee financial viability and it would insure that farm income at least equals a realistic production cost as established for each commodity." Donald G. MacDonald (NDP York South) called -the government's $20 -million fund "peanuts" compared with the real needs of farmers. - He complained of the lack of a long-term agriculture program for Ontario. He told Agriculture Minister William Stewart that "you respond to the pressure as it becomes irresistible, The policy becomes piecemeal."

McKinley (PC -Huron - Middlesex) said Monday. Construction is expected to be complete May 31 and the opening for.the summer season is scheduled June 25.

NOM ADELAIDE DANIELS SAYS The Wonderful Society of Walkers • Let me introduce a distitiguishcd and rapidly growing society: the walkers.Thcy are anonymous, unorgaiil'zed,without a constitution or by-laws. Sonia have a favourite daily walk ; some will walk anywhere, any time. Most walkers art sociable people who would like company. But a walking cdiS panion is not easy to find. Most friends will come to dinner, parties and stay up until any hour, but few will go walking — unlcss there is a destination in mind.

By starting good nutritional habits, we can begin to change what we eat and when we eat, in order to maintain ideal weight and keep fit. It is important ttfiat we eat regularly and to the point of being sated. if you are on your way to your ideal weight, but you sometimes feel discouraged and depressed, go for a walk. Put orr your most com- fortable shoes. Walk with your hood up, take long steps, let your arms swing freely and easily, and deepen your breathing. Keep a good rhythm, not necessarily fast but steady. See how your mood changes, how the dark colour of your thoughts becomes gradually brighter. Low spirits will not accompany you very far on a good walk. Psychologists remind us again and again that the mind cannot re- main depressed when the body is in motion. Walking preserves health and lengthens life. It relieves tensions, insomnia, chronic fatigue and a host of minor physical and mental complaints that drag down the spirit and body and take the joy out of living. Free -striding, free -swinging, rhythmic, unhurried and unharried walking is the perfect aid to digestion, elimination, circulation and relaxation of mind, body and spirit. Believe me, walking.can do all these thing for you, and furthermore it is a very special pleasure. Why not make it part of your daily routine? Join the walking society today and see what a dif%rence it makes in your, life! K.C. COOKS FLORIST 81 ORANGE BT. S.
