Citizens News, October 26, 1978 Page 5 Miscellaneous — Continued from Page 4 Rumblings employees described her $6.12 hourly wage as "The pits." Some quick math works comes up with a weekly wage of $244.80 which isn't bad for a person who has been in the full time labour force for less than three years. This wage compares very favourably to the average weekly earning of Canadians which according to Statistics Canada was $268.80 in June of this year. Our worker who spent some time at university said "She'd Iike to return to university on a part-time basis, "but I can't afford to quit work altogether .. . this job makes me feel like I'm stuck." What a bunch of baloney. If she is so concerned about being stuck in her present position she could have two thirds of her degree completed in a year and a half, if she was a part-time student. Unless she has some heavy debts, she could afford to return to school for at least one year. Between what she should have in her bank account and what she could obtain from the government in grants and loans, there's no reason why she couldn't go back to school. Hopefully the above person is not your typical ex- ample of an inside postie. * * * The winner of the Citizens News name the picture contest is Jay Schwartzentruber of the village. Jay won the $15 with the following description.: "The pic- ture is about a tree stump and weeds growing inside of the tree stump." Congratulations Jay.
