The level five students' :550 Club) held a dance at the arena May 7 with Star Trek providing the entertainment. The dance was a success. All proceeds go toward a 550 party at the end of the year and The Cancer Fund. Marketing Class to CKNX. The level four marketing class Businessmen and Watts in the Huron-Middlesex area are encouraged to consider employ- ment for the students this summer, if they have not already done so. Unless something , is done to give our young people an oppor- tunity to work many will find themselves in serious financial difficulties in the upcoming 1976- 1977 academic year. The students are eager, versatile, physically capable, and above all, want to ,work. I urge prospective employers to contact their local Canada Manpower Centres without delay. Students, too, should use their initiative. Every working person you know is a job connection. Your school or college placement centres can help you. You should talk to your guidance counsellor, read the want ads in the newspapers everyday and call previous employers. Don't wait. As soon as you hear of something, check it out. You won't be the only student applying for that job. Chesley and District Memorial Hospital and Willett Hospital in Paris appear to be on solid ground in seeking provincial financing to continue in operation for a further six months. The acting Health Minister, has indicated that the two hospitals will receive the same consideration as Toronto's Doctors' Hospital, Clinton Public Hospital and Durham Memorial Student council elections on now Hospital, which will be receiving financing to continue operating during the Government's appeal against a Divisional Court ruling on the legality of its hospital closing procedure. Incidentally, the ,Ontario Medi- cal AsSociation has stated that it will demand a say in any future decisions by the provincial government to close hospitals. A spokesman for the OMA said the organization is violently opposed " to the way the government attempted the closings, and that if future closures are contemp- lated, hospital workers and people of the community in which a hospital is located must be consulted because the medical association would not tolerate "these Gestapoesque type of manoeuvres" in the future. He also said the provincial govern- ment 'has never proven the hospital closing program will save $50 million, especially as patients will have to be treated elsewhere and workers will have to receive unemployment insurance. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has called upon the government to impose stringent limits on levels of vinyl chloride gas within industrial plants. The Acting Health Minister haS agreed that permisSible levels of airborne vinyl chlorides must be dramati- cally reduced. She has indicated, however, that although reports from other countries link cancer deaths to vinyl chloride exposure, there is no 'pathological evidence to suggest this is the case in Ontario. The Minister , told reporters that the provincial Occupational Health Branch had reviewed statistics for the last five or six years to determine whether liver cancer deaths in Ontario might be linked to exposure to vinyl chloride gas among indust- rial workers, but that this survey had shown no connection between such exposure of workers and anglosarcoma, a rare form of liver cancer which has been linked to exposure to the gas in industries in Quebec and the U.S. Subse- quently Ministry officials indicated.they had no knowledge of the survey to which the Minister referred. The Ontario Government has spent $6 million on preliminary designs for a successor to the ill-fated Krauss-Maffei magnetic cushion train. The Urban Trans- portation Development Corpora- tion Limited is seeking substan- tially more money over the next three years to bring the prelimin• - ary, designs to the brink of production, although the corpora: tion refuses to say publicly how much it is requesting, partly because its request has not yet gone to the Cabinet and partly because it is still negotiating with the suppliers of components. As a spokesman for the UTDC expressed it, the $6 million has been spent over the past year "to pick up -the pieces of Krauss- Maffei." The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, ' the Honourable Sidney Handleman,, said that the article in the Globe and Mail which reported that the Travel Industry Compensation Fund is running out of money is absolutely untrue. Mr. Handle- man said that- the Compensation Fund is very healthy. He had a statement in hand, which reflected that as of May 11, the assets of the fund stood at $542,267.80. If the amount of claims •paid or approved is deducted then the total balance is $475,262. If the combined outstanding claims .of both consumers and agents totall- ing $137,410. are deducted there still remains an amount of $337,852. Operating expenses charged to the fund up until the end of March were just in excess of $11,000 so that the bottom-line figure after all deductions is still in excess of $325,000. The Minister said this is not a static figure which continues to diminish as more claims are made against the Fund. It is hoped the amount will continue to grow as agents and yvholesalers make their required quarterly contribu. fi tions. He said the Fund -was established under the Travel Industry Act to compensate consumers for the loss of prepaid travel funds. According to the Minister, the Fund is in good financial shape and he is confident that it will be able to meet any commitments levied against it in the event of further problenis in the industry. rX 41 4' R ' tt • • went t8 Winghain on Wednesday 'to visit the CKNX' radio-televisiOn station.

His story as .he calls it is based on a young couple through courtship, engagement, marriage and divorce. His talk was hilmorous and yet brought out many points of family law that people should know. Everyone found it very interesting and students were glad they had the opportunity to ,hear him. This is a privilege that few • other schools have. Mr. McLeod • is Mr. Dobson s Bookmobile at Seaforth ' Friday,. SDHS students and staff had 4 special 'privilege presented to them: A Bookmobile was present at the 'school and anyone interested could go out and buy whatever paperbacks or hardbacks they Wished.
