With only three weeks remaining
before the residential camping
season, The Easter Seal Society has
issued an SOS .to the nursing
profession.
The society still needs seven
registered nurses if it is to provide a
summer camp holiday for over 1,000
children with physical disabilities.
The society operates five
residential camps in Ontario. They
are located near Perth, London,
Kirkland Lake, Port Colbourn and
Collingvvooch - ' •
Anyone holding an Ontario College
of Nurses registration is eligible to
work at an Easter Seal camp. The
society will accommodate existing
commitments wherever possible
says Mark Sack, camping and
recreation supervisor.
"We want to hear from anyone
who has the necessary
qualifications, no matter what their
summer schedule looks like. A job -
share arrangement would be quite
acceptable as long as shifts are
covered."
Mr. Sack has travelled Ontario
extensively over the past weeks in
search of recruits. "We know nurses
are out there, it's just a matter of
getting our message across."
Those interested are asked to
contact Anne Maciej, The Easter

The Perth County Junior Farmers
are on the lookout for plenty of
horsepower and covered wagons.
That's what they will use to trans-
port the many thousands of people
who will visit the 75th annual Inter-
national Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show when it takes place
just southwest of Stratford, Septem-
ber 20-24.
The Junior Farmers, and a special
Wagon Tours Committee, are lining
up tractors and enclosed bale -throw-
er wagons — enough of them to keep
the large crowds flowing and wait-
ing periods to a minimum. Their
scheduled routes will be between the
many parking areas and the large
tented city.
They will set up a mobile office
arid a dispatcher will monitor the
shuttle service in an effort to keep
the system as trouble-free as pos-
sible. They will also have a mechan-
ic on duty to keep the tractors bark-
ing.
