(Shelley McPhee photo) Youth work program proposed by Peterson A program to provide at least one year's work to thousands of long-term unemployed young people in Ontario has been proposed by Opposition Leader David Peterson. The plan would provide jobs for 18 to 24 year olds who have been unemployed for a period of 20 weeks or more. The program would significantly reduce current levels of joblessness among youth. "Being unemployed is a disheartening and dispiriting existence for anyone," Mr. Peterson said. "Being young and unem- ployed is especially debilitating — out on the streets, looking for work, stymied at every turn." Ire September 1983, 159,000 young people were unemployed, representing almost one in six youth in the labour force. The Peterson plan calls on the Ontario Government to put young people to work through public sector organizations. The young people would provide unskilled and semi -skilled services at provincial parks, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, libraries, schools, day-care centres and through community-based efforts such as home care and with volunteer organizations and public interest groups. The government would provide the basic minimum wage for a 36 hour work week, but participants would be required to take six hours a week of educational upgrading courses and four hours a week of em- ployment counselling. Mr. Peterson said the program could cost up to $110 million dollars a year, but the benefits would exceed this figure on the basis of service provided, savings in unemployment insurance and welfare payments, reduced crime rates, lessened alcohol and drug abuse and increased jig 3.4 114 motivation among young people. Mr. Peterson said the plan would be directed toward those "who do not know how or where to begin to look for work, or to those who have difficulty even filling out a job application form." The Liberal Leader said: "This is a generation losing confidence in themselves and lacking hope for the future." "The youth of Ontario need jobs," he said. "They need the experience and the self- confidence that come from working. They also need to invest in themselves, through increased educational effort and life skills development. "The programme we are announcing would give them that opportunity. This program offers youth an experience which no other provincial or federal programme currently provides. "This is not just a job creation program. Participants would be required to enroll in education courses, at levels commensurate with their needs. In addition, participants would be required to take part in em- ployment counselling services to familiarize them with job search techniques and proper job performance habits. Such counselling would also help them seek further em- ployment opportunities, or as the case may be, further educational or skills training possibilities. "In sum, our program would offer real benefits to youth and to the province as a whole," Mr. Peterson said. "We guarantee for youth a positive employment and educational opportunity and for the Province, productive social gains. "Ontario's most important natural resource is our youth. We're prepared to give them the right chance." SANTA & DON PRESENT ti 4 BIG DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL LADIES NOR AR RED INC BOOTS E PRICE 9 SAVINGS 1:1!

For those of you who have not had the 'thrill' of writing those wonderful things for a while, here's a reminder of the many 'pleasures' involved. It all starts nearly a month before the actual examination week when students first receive their timetables. Of course, everyone's exam schedule is always the worst possible. They're usually something like five exams the first two days and one on the very last. Is the office purposely trying to promote nervous breakdowns, or what? If so, they certainly do a good job of it. The day exam timetables are issued a daily ritual is begun. Everyday students say to themselves, "Gee, I should start studying today. Exams are coming up soon! Nah, I'm too busy. I'll start tomorrow". Tomorrow comes and they say, "Gee, I should start studying today." This goes on day after day until they finally realize that exams begin on the very next day. Fran- tically, students begin what is called 'cramming'. Cramming is an art form. It's got to be done right. Here's a quick crash course by an expert. First of all the atmosphere is important. It definitely must be untidy, and very unorganized. A large, cluttered desk is perfect for the occasion, but a floor will do fine if you throw as many books and papers around as possible. Loud music is a must. Now, for the technique. Talk to yourself, also keep a notebook and pen handy. To cram correctly, take lots of illegible notes, impossible to decipher and punctuated by numerous scribbles. Notes that wouldn't ck era mean a thing to anyone who wasn't Swedish. Finally, try to study as much as possible in the shortest time possible. A two-hour cram session should include English, science, French, calculus, geography and anthropology. Got the Idea yet? Actually. cramming isn't hard. I just leave everything to the last minute and it will come naturally. and positively loathe cramming use "get- ting down to business study session." This involves hour upon hour of studying at least a month before exams. Sounds dull, doesn't it? Studying is the total opposite of cram- ming. A neat atmosphere is imperative. A few deodorizers to get rid of the musty Socks smell is very refreshing also, unless you have a cold. You will need two or three boxes off kleenex so your notes won't get smeared. Soft music is a luxurious way to calm frazzled nerves and settle you down. I would suggest Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's song, "Islands in the Stream". Now you're all ready to study. Oops!, don't forget the most important thing, food! 'Munchies' will keep your energy going strong. After all this studying or cramming students collapse, exhausted, into bed early (early the next morning). After a long one and one-half hour sleep, they rise shakily on the day of the exam. Dressing for school, they continually chant, "a2 + b2 equals ? COs + oxygen — respiration?, parasites and saphrophytes? ..." Dazed, students continue chanting until they reach school. Only half an hour to go ' 'r before the dreaded exam. It's time for the emergency cram session. The mood is very rushed. Basically, this is more extreme method of learning everything at once. The mind twirls, "Cocci-diplo-strept nstaphly, Autotrophic- own food - inorganic; DNA, RNA c ;.rbon..." Usually it all goes in one ear and out the other, but there's no harm in Finally it's the last step, time to write the exam. Gulp! Palms get sweaty. Hearts beat tense stu Y faster. But, before you know it you've finish- ed writing those dreaded exams until next term and it didn't seem difficult at all. (Walt until your . rents see your report card). Theme it is in black and white, a dent's insight on exams. After reading this, if you have brothers or sisters, sons or daughter in high school, treat there a little carefully around the middle of November and March. Examinations aren't exactly a bed of roses! Hully Gullyplays host to snowmobile seminar Members of snowmobile club executive from as far away as Burford, Ontario, came to Hully Gully last Sunday to hear and take part in a special club workshop and seminar. About 30 different directors and club of- ficers listened intently as Ontario Federa- tion of Snowmobile Clubs treasurer, Bob Feasey spoke on the future of the sport and the Federation's role in it. President of the Holly Gully Snowmobile Club, and event organizer Tom Tabor gave a talk on the state of the industry, and Milverton Snowmobile Club Executive and Ministry of Transportation licensing officer Jerry Bain outlined this year's licensing regulations and the changes for the 1984 season.
