"A ,provincialtour conducted by Con- stable Sherry Baker has been an Outstanding success in attracting women applicants interested in police careers," Taylor said. !Constable Baker, an OPP officer for 10 years, was recently named Affirmative Ac- tion Manager for the Ontario Ministry off the Solicitor General. The OPP is part off that ministry. Commissioner Ferguson had said before Constable 'Baker's tour that in the 75th an- niversary year of the OPP, a priority would Cancer Society -be toa•ra candidates tea. "constable onstable i the interest The Southwestern District of the Cana- dian Cancer Society has surpassed its fund raising goals for this year's campaign, District Campaign chairman Morley Taylor has announced. The 1984 objective had been set at $1,200,000 for the district, which encom- passes Elgin, Huron, Kent, Lambton, London -Middlesex and Oxford counties. Over $1,251,00 has been raised to date, with almost three months still remaining in the current campaign year. The overall 'provin- cial objective is $13.2 million. "We're running about 15 per cent ahead of last year at this time," Taylor said. "The results are a real tribute to the hard work of our unit organizers, and especially our volunteer canvassers, whose long hours have been so well rewarded by the response of the public. It's been a total effort - on everyone's part." Fund raising activities have included "Great Rides", daffodil sales, teas, fashion shows, and the main door-to-door can- vasses. "The number of events throughout the district increased,this year, and I think that helped to put us over the top," Taylor added. While most of the funds collected will sup- port canc.er research through the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Taylor said that approximately 30 per cent of the money raised will be spent in the areas of patient services and education. "These local programs are not as well known to the public as cancer research, but they are integral parts in our overall efforts to battle cancer and its effects." ED.

Solicitor General Taylor noted that the percentage of women applicants for OPP policing jobs has increased from less than nine per cent to 21 per cent this year. "This as. a welcome indicator of increasing interest by young women in what is a .challenging and rewarding career oppor- tunity," the Solicitor General said. Commissioner Ferguson said that no quota for the number of female recruits has been set,. and the. Force wants the best qualified applicants regardless of sex. • Constable Baker said she was ap- preciative of the assistance of the media in her efforts to encourage women to. consider police work as a career options.

Consolidation. 0 •frompagel dent of business and finance seem to be do- ing a good job. • "In summary, the senior administrators are valuable and valued members of the system". The co-ordinators and consultants are also doing a good job, but according to the report, some principals identified concerns with the role of this support staff. "Because of the range of duties assigned to the Superintendent of Education it has become necessary to delegate many of the administrative duties to a person originally hired to be a consultant. This has resulted in a reduction of the time spent serving as a consultant," the report states. The trustees role was also considered in the report. The report says the trustees are doing their duties as required. Trustees and some clergy .discussed the influence of administrative staff over' deci- sions ecisions made by the board; However, all trustees agreed administration should be serving as advisors to the board. Communication, as it relates to such between the board and staff, administration and staff, the board and the public and the, schools and the public was also noted in the CEDSS report as an area where some im- provement is necessary. . The recommendations in the report will be studied by a board ad hoc committee made up of chairman Ron Murray, vice- chairman Michael Moriarity, director (ac- ting) John McAuley and superintendent of education (acting) and chairman of the in- ternal team Blanchette. . This ad hoc con»nittee will set up general plans for establishing the CEDSS r9com- mendations over a• five.year period. There were about 80 ratepayers randomly surveyed for the CEDSS report as well as - parents, teachers and principals. • Cali NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR NEW COMMUNITY? tegome 507),Da Phone 524-2544 ^ur hostess will bring gifts and greetings with helpful community information.
