She folds laundry and delivers it to the various rooms.

NON tS GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1979—PAGE 3A John Brown's deliveries bring happiness BY JOANNE BUCHANAN John Brown of Goderich always thought he knew his way arouna town really well...until he got a job delivering flowers this summer and discovered a few streets he didn't know about. John is working for Denomme's Flower Shop on the Square and has been as far as Zurich delivering flowers. He had been' working for his father at Brown's Decor Centre for the last two years installing carpet and wanted something different this summer so he applied at the Canada Employment Centre for Students in Goderich to see if anything could be found for him. He was quite sure that something would turn up and if not, he could continue- his job at Brown's Decor. It took about two to three weeks from the time he applied at the Employment Centre until the time he got the job at Denom- me's. Lifting flowers is a lot easier than lifting carpet, says John,. and he is really enjoying his job. Besides delivering flowers, he also does some _cleaning up at the shop.
