The Goderich branch office of e Canada Employment Centre for Students is increasing its accessibility to students, homeowners, farmers, and other potential employers in the area by bringing a representative from the Goderich office to the Clinton Public Library one day each week. Dave MacDonald, a fourth year student of English from the University of Western On- tario, will be at the Clinton Library every Tuesday during May and June from 1 until 5 in the afternoon to help secondary and post secondary students in their search for sum- mer jobs. Dave also encourages employers looking for any type of summer help to drop in to the library on Tuesdays. There is no doubt about it, the job situa- tion is tight. However Dave is not discourag- ed. In fact, he is optimistic that most students can find jobs this summer, if they follow a few simple rules: tell everyone you are looking for a job ( word of mouth is im- portant); make a list of all possible employers; visit all of these employers; keep looking at the want ads in your local newspaper; keep your ears open and visit the Employment Centre regularly. It is a job•to find a job. Dave stresses that contrary to what many people think, most students really want to work and are sincere in their job searches. The Centre always has enough students to fill jobs but not enough orders from employers. resources in the Clinton area during the summer months. They are available on short notice to do any ,kind of job for homeowners who need the eaves painted or the garage cleaned out, and for employers needing temporary help to meet summer peaks in production; they can replace vaca- tioning staff and are also potential perma- nent staff. Students are willing and able to work right now for as long as you need them. There are several different segments to summer employment in Clinton, one major segment is farming. The ,farming industry in Clinton area is importat both as a source of experienced farm workers and as a source of jobs related to agricultural train- mFor a great number of students, helping on a farm during haying season, during planting and harvesting, or perhaps doing the chores while the farmer is busy doing any of the above jobs, would constitute a great summer job. The Canada Employment Centre for Students is a fast and effective contact for farmers, businesses and individual homeowners in town or in the country. If you have something that needs to be done, they have the student to do it. Keep in mind, if you are unable to visit Dave at the Clinton Public Library, the Canada Employment Centre for Students of- fice is located in Goderich and is effective in servicing all of Huron County.

Students study effects Students in high school classrooms in ma- jor centres throughout Ontario are witness- ing,for themselves the dramatic and im- mediate effects which smoking has on the human body. Through the use of the Lung Association's "Biomonitoririg Program", students utilize biofeedback equipment to demonstrate im- mediate changes in the carbon monoxide level, heart rate, hand tremor and skin temperature caused by cigarette smoking. Says Marybelle Ford of the Lung Associa- tion of Huron Perth, "We believe that infor- mation about the immediate harm from smoking will be more impressive to young people than information about illness that may occur many years in the future". "In most cases," continues Ford, "smok- ing immediately increases the level of car- bon monoxide in the blood, increases heart rate, increases hand tremor and lowers skin temperature. The primary goal is to demonstrate to young people that smoking does affect them adversely and immediate- ly". Statistics show that 17 per cent of boys and 22 per cent of girls are regular smokers by the age of 14. The Lung Association is pleased to pro- vide this program to high school students in Ontario. If you would like more information about this program, contact Marybelle Ford 271-7500.

Organizer to assist groups On May 8th, Richard Hamilton began i duties as Rural Organizations Specialist ( Agriculture) at the Clinton Agricultural Of- fice. Richard is originally from Lindsay in Vic- toria County. He has been involved in a variety of 4-H clubs and activities. A 1985 graduate from the B. Sc. (Agr.). program at Guelph, Richard is majoring in Animal and Poultry Science. At Guelph he was a member of several clubs and employed as a Residence House Advisor. Last summer, Richard was employed by O.M.A.F. as an Agricrew Co-ordinator in Hastings, Lennox -Addington, and Prince Edward Counties. Richard's tasks in Huron County involve co-ordination of the 4-H program and liaison with other organizations such as Junior Farmers and agricultural societies. Richard says that he is looking forward to working with the agricultural community: Only one more line is needed "We 'do, not disagree with the need for a 500kV power line out of the Bruce Nuclear Development", said Ken McGregor, Vice - Chairman of Foodland Hydro. "The issue is where the line should be located." "We agree with the Porter Royal Com- mission that recommended in 1979, after four years of hearings, that only one more 500kV line is needed out of the Bruce. It also recommended avoiding agricultural im- pacts even if there are cost penalties." McGregor went on to say, "This position was confirmed by the Consolidated Hearing Board three years later in 1982. Their recommendation was the modified M3 route from Bruce to Barrie and on to London via Milton. This route was found to have the least impact on valuable foodland." "Contrary to some media coverage, Foodland Hydro has not delayed the building of a transmission line. The delay was caused by those along the M3 route, who sought to set the decision of the hearing board aside." McGregor is a member of Foodland- Hydro, a broadly based group of landowners and other concerned citizens from Bruce, Huron and Middlesex Counties, opposing a hydro corridor travelling south from Bruce to London, through much . of the best agricultural land in the province. has arrived at Baker's Nursery LILAC BUSHES or STEMS in hill blaom•Large variety to choose from...
