If you are a teenager and you're looking
for an activity which will provide an ex-
citing challenge, training in self-discipline
and leadership skills and an opportunity to
meet people and travel, consider joining
the air cadets.
Many young men and women have pass-
ed through the ranks of the Maitland
Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air
Cadets since its inception in 1978. The
Goderich based squadron has enjoyed a
measure of success in the community and
the program has launched several young
people on new careers or provided exciting
summer jobs.
While the program has attracted a good
number of young people between the ages
of 13 and 19, the squadron is looking for
new recruits as spaces have been made
available through attrition and cadets
moving from the area.
The free (even the uniforms are free)
youth program is sponsored by the Rotary
Club and is under the direction of Com-
manding Officer Rick Livesey arid Captain
Pat King.
The air cadet program offers camping
trips, gliding training at Centralia,
weekends at Camp Ipperwash, a bus trip
to Wonderland and the opportunity to work
at camps across Canada for the summer.
The program also offers many oppor-
tunities beyond the immediate activities of
the Maitland Squadron. Cadets can take
fan`riliarization flights in service aircraft
and gliders. Summer camps are held at
Canadian Forces Bases for two weeks in
the summer and bush familiarization
courses are held for 54 cadets and six
squadron officers.
Upwards of 250 flying scholarships may
be awarded by the Air Cadet League to
cadets who meet the physical and
academic requirements. Some cadets are
selected for athletic leadership courses
which qualifies graduates to supervise and
instruct in physical training and recrea-
tional activities in their respective home
squadrons.
Each year over 270 cadets from across
Canada are selected for a six week Senior
Leader Course to prepare cadets for senior
positions within the cadet system.
Meetings of the Maitland Squadron are
held each Tuesday evening at Robertson
Public School. Recruits are welcome from
the Goderich and Clinton areas., Free bus
transportation is provided for cadets from
Clinton to attend meetings in Goderich.

Give them asummer job.
Every summer, students provide a wealth
of talent, knowledge and ingenuity that every em-
ployer can tap. As an employer, you will benefit •
from the energy and enthusiasm students bring to
their summer jobs. The students in turn will gain
the experience so valuable to entering the working
world:
Of course students are willing to do just about
•
any sort of work available, but ideally, they would
like to findemployment related to their field of study.
This would help ease the transition from school
•to work, and'help eliminate the no experience/no
job" bias that they may face when seeking full
time employment Hiring students makes good
business sense. For every type of job you can
offer, there's.a student more than willing to work.

MARCH IS...
jumor Farmer month
Young people and bad news go hand in
hand. Right? Wrong! There's a story to pro-
ve it.
Local Junior Farmer clubs from across
the province will be donating to a special
fund' during' Junior Farmer Month, March.
The money will be pooled and presented at
the• annual Provincial Conference of the
Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario at
the City Centre Holiday Inn, London, from
Mar. 14-16. The drive to raise funds is for the
Alcohol and Drug Recovery Association of
Ontario.
Milt Schwartzentruber, Past President of
this assoeiation and Director of the Quintin
Warner Alcoholism Recovery House in Lon-
don, will address the conference delegates
and accept the donation.
The problems of alcohol and drugabuse
are ones that face many people in society to-
day, and unfortunately often involves young
people. It is something that tarnishes the
image of youth. Alcohol and drug abuse is
receiving increased public attention and the
Junior Farmers, a youth organization, will
be helping in a positive way!
. Junior Farmer Month is a special time to
increase community awareness of the
Junior. Farmer program. March will feature
activities by local clubs throughout the pro-
vince to involve the public and raise funds..
It is an excellent opportunity for Junior
Farmers to further promote their motto of
"Self Help and Community Betterment'.
