FRIDAY Feb. 4 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. WT TO TOO FROM AL'S SUPER SAVE HENSALL ONE DAY ONLY Citizens News, February 2, 1977 Page 5 Canada Works deadline Fri. The deadline for filing applications for the 1977 Canada Wbrks and Young Canada Works programs is tomorrow, Friday. John Gillespie, manager of the Exeter branch of Canada Man- power said Tuesday morning that applications are to be mail- ed directly to the London office so he wouldn't know until later of any local projects. He added, "With the number of application forms taken out I would say there is more interest in the Young Canada Works pro- jects." ' Asked of the amounts of monies available for projects in this area Gillespie said, "There has been no indication of the Young Canada allocation but I would say the Canada Works amount will be less than the LIP grants which were $75,000." Young Canada Works allocations will depend on the relative unemployment situations throughout Canada. While on the subject of _un- employment, the local manager said unemployment registrations at the end of December for the South Huron area were up about 25 percent from the same period a year ago. He said the unemployed total was now about 900 compared to 700 at the end of 1975. The South Huron area covers from Kippen on the north across to Lake Huron, south to Grand Bend, down to the Huron boun- daries on the south and east to the Huron limits including Usborne township. Gillespie said, "Technically Usborne is not in our area but for practice most residents are registered here for unemploy- ment purposes." He listed some of the reasons for the higher rate of unemploy- ment including an early fall stop- page in construction due to the weather. Layoffs at a number of in- dustries have contributed great- ly to the increase in the un- employment numbers. WINTER ROUND -UP OF UNBEATABLE FOOD VALUES!
