Projections of today's statistics show that eight~ out of ten high school girls will spend 25 years or more in the workforce, When confronted with" this forecast, many girls will assume that they will be one of the lucky two whose Prince Charming will deposit her in a suburban castle. with a two car. garage,, --wall to wall carpeting and two or three, little charming children, there to live happily ever after. .. However, our dreams do not always come true. Due to inflation and financial pressures, plus the changing role of women in society, more and more women will make up the labour force. Some girls will not marry. One out of three marriages end in divorce. Some will ,lose the financial support of their husbands through death ,or disability. ^ Starting July 10th at 7 pm at the Vanastra Resource Centre located rii''the Vanastra Christian Church, a program designed to look at these fantasies and real life planning. All interested girls.,ge 13-18 will look at career planning., life, styles and marriage. The program will last for five one hour sessions on successive Mondays.

Yet ! went ,immediately from one job to another with only two weeks vacation in between.. This hits me hard as I am the -- only wage earner -my husband is on old age security pension. All I can find out by calling OH I P is that my coverage was cancelled. Can you help me or at least, get an explanation? OUR READER didn't take steps ahead of time to make sure her coverage was con- tinuous from one lob -to the, next. One month's premium was not paid and thus bills during That month were refused. Because of the situation, however, if she pays the missing month's premium, OHI P will process her claim for chiropractic services. RON'S SUNOCO GAS BAR $VARIETY 192 HURON ST. CLINTON My husband bought a new Volkswagen Rabbit in April. After the first couple of months, it seems the car has been in the service department more than on the road. What's worse is that the problem still hasn't been solved. Can you help get this straightened out once and for all? Rabbit's hopping like new again. After our call, the V.W. manager set up repair ap- pointment, was on hand to watch service crew install new carburetor and correct reason for Rabbit's punchlessness. Dealership also provided transportation to work day car was being fixed. He said repair -s would've been completed sooner if he had been aware of repeated trips to dealership, which he blamed on "someone who was trying to get off easy."

The contract specified the work would be done in 10 weeks. They didn't arrive until February, when ice and snow .made the job impossible. After several phone calls4110 turned up on May lst. The next morning a representative came to collect the money. The work crew had said it would return after the first rainfall to inspect possible leaks. They never showed. "THE WORKMEN ADMITTED they had forgotten about us," our reader, reports. After our query they telephoned our reader and showed up at her home. "Our eavestroughs are all repaired now, and we don't anticipate any trouble," she writes.
