Jim Taylor op sed. Council established that the two installments will be due June 15 and Nov. 30. Other townships offer a discount, for taxes paid irrfull at the firstinstallment due date. Clerk -Treasurer Winona Thompson said she is considering such an arrangement for East Wawanosh taxpayers. There also will be a penalty charged on taxes which are not paid on or before their due date, Mrs. Thompson said, but added she has not established what the penalty will be. The issue of two tax pays came up at last Tuesday's meeting when Mrs. Thompson announced to council members that the Huron County Board of Edu- cation and the Huron -Perth Separate School Board levies will be due four times a year in 1982, rather than twice. "It doesn't leave us much choice for paying the taxes twice a year," commented Mr. Meier. Other years thetownship has been forced to borrow large sums of Money at high rates of interest until the taxes .were paid in December. "You can't always think of the people. You must think of our position as a township;" • said Mrs. Thompson. Mr.' "Vincent and Mr. Taylor were opposed to the motion because they felt it would put an extra burden on• the farmers. Even Reeve Hallahan allowed that "not boo many farmers twill be) paying it at once." • "Some people want topay it once; •some twice,',' Said Mr. Schultz.. • • "It's a bad ,time,, anytime," added Mr. Meier. "We'll see how it. works," said Mr. Taylor. In other business, cotreil received a petition from Gary Thacker and Richard Moore of the tenth con- cession for a new drainage works. Council agreed to accept the petition subject to the approval of the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Mem- bers also agreed to engage E: W. Shifflett of Gamsby and' Mannerow as the engineer. A site meeting for the new drain will be postponed until after the meeting for the Thacker-Jaretzke Drainage Works to be held Nov. 30. Council approved five plans under the Pits and Quarries Act for gravel pits in the township: Barth Walden, Lots 33 and 34, Con. 1; Joe Kerr, Lot 39, Con. 12; Henry Farms, Lot 39 and part of 38, Con. 1; Howatt Bros., Lot 37, Con. 4; Joe Kerr, Lot 34, Con. 9; and, Corbett and Young, west half of Lot 38, Con. 1. Each pit is limited to 50,000 tonnes of gravel per year and rehabilitation measures such as fences, berms, tree screens and gates are to be followed: A delegation from the MRS. ALLAN GRIFFITH village of Auburn attended the meeting to request funds for the renovation of the Auburn Library. An estimated $10,000 will be required to make the necessary repairs and library board representa- tives hoped for a 25 per cent contribution from East Wawanosh. Hullett and West Wa- wanosh townships were approached as well. Mr., V intent suggested tha t the librarian find the number of library users from East Wawanosh and compare it to a percentage of total users. East Wawanosh would be willing to contribute the same percentage to the project as. there are library users from the township. Council decided to take out errors and omissions in- surance for the clerk - treasurer with McMaster Insurance and keep the coverage when the town- ship's insurance policy is renewed in February. Council gave Mrs. Thomp- son the go-ahead to purchase a cheque protector for township cheques. She will also look into purchasing a postage metre for stamps. The next meeting of East Wawanosh council is scheduled for Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. at the township shed - Wroxeter Mr. and Mrs. Boyne Sage, third line of Wallace, visited Sunday at Ross Toman's.

THE TV GENVERATION®The mlatsE''pdpular displays at the Careers Day held at Madill last week were those which provided the most Careers Day entertainment.

As a matter of fact, you should plan to spend several years at a community college or university, de- veloping the skills modern industry requires. This was the message conveyed by representatives of local industries to a group of second -year technical students at F. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham last week. The meeting between the industrialists and ' the students was the major feature of a Careers Day held at the school during Ontario Careers Week. It was organized jointly by the school and the Huron County industrial Training Com- mittee. After watching a film on the metal casting industry and touring displays set up at, the school by a number of industries in the county, the students heard brief talks Brussels girl receives award BRUSSELS — Miss Joan Huether, a graduate of Brussels Public School and F. E. Madill Secondary School and at present a third - year accountancy student at Fanshawe College, London, was one of' the 55 students from the college honored for 1980-81 academic work at the twelfth annual Awards Night dinner and dance held at the school on Friday. She received the Society of Management Accountants' Award. Mr. and Mrs. Murray Huether and Mrs. Edna McDonald were also present for the dinner. from ' the industry repre= "` sentatives, outlining what they look for in prospective employees: The consensus was that brains have replaced brawn as industry comes . to rely more and more on high tech- nology automation. "Five or six years ago we needed bodies," noted Lee Grove, foundry • manager at . Western Foundry Company Ltd. "Today 'we need brains." There is a big demand in the metallurgical field for draftsmen,esign engineers,_hydratilics ex- perts and machinists, he said, reporting that in the last five years every graduate of a metallurgical course at any of the local community colleges has found a job: Neil Spooner, rear" ` enting. Royal Homes, also told the student's not to pass up any chance "to gain working experience in the field into which .they hope to go. Summer jobs are one way of getting this experience, he said, explaining . that a person hoping for a career in carpentry would be better off taking a job stacking lumber in a lumber yard than working as a clerk in •a grocery store. • Pat Newington from Ex- Cei1-0 Corporation, Clinton, and the chairman of the in- dustrial training committee, urged the students to put careful thought into ' their career planning. "Look at shop subjects in light of what industry does this lead to," he "told the students. Don't pick some- thing simply because of a casual interest. or as an easy credit. He told them to consider the possibility of going on to university or college following , high school.

Madill Secondary school look over the display by Western Foundry, one of several displays by local industries at the school for Careers Day last week. Lee Grove and Arun Ghosh of Western Foundry were present to answer questions. t noted. Most industries have only' a set number of ap- prenticeships open in any given year, and. require applications well in advance. It is no good to make up your mind at the last. minute and then expect a job to be open. CAREERS IN ART While' the technical stu; dents were hearing about opportunities in industry, third . and fourth-year art students were learning about the careers available in the visual arts field. Pete Miehm, coordinator of ' the designarts depart- ment; -and Rob Cameron,' a student advisor, from - Georgian College, Owen Sound, told Dian JoaniSse's Art 301 and 401 students that visual arts is a big field and offers a- . wide variety of careers.' It also is a field in which one type of work can lead into another, or an artist can be involved in several types of art all .at once, Mr. Miehm said. As an example, he •started out in . graphic design. later got into pain- ting .and .illustration,' and now is teaching. • Art also offers ' a good carer in terms of financial remneration, he added. "Artists are not starving all over the country;" There are a great many fields open, including theatre set design and painting, makeup, commercial art and design, painting, sculpting and printmaking. A would-be artist must be prepared to show his or her work and so should prepare a portfolio, Mr. .Miehm said, adding that no one should. expect instant success. "First jobs , are , not necessarily that interesting. The first job I got was doing' 1GA food ads."
