'That's a small , example of the
sense of humour of Seaforth's
best known 90 year old, who was
honoured at a birthday open
house sponsored by• the Curling
Club, on Satuiday night.
A good crowd came to honour
' Mr. Boswell, and theletired bank
manager, who's out on the ice
every week, had four or five
dances before he headed home

some 45 years ago; He worked in
several branches of the Doildnion
Bank er what is now the Toronto-
Dominion bank, in various parts
of Ontario before coming as bank..
manager to Seaforth.

Ms. Finnigan started her job in

learned that the 'Majority *-• of
summer jobs come from home'

before highschool- students.

While the employment picture•
does look a bit ,bleak, Ms.. .
Finnigan is hoping she will be •
able to help q *to a fe udents.
One helpful bin she would
give the students is that, once
they register. at- the: Manpower
office, they should come into the
office as frequently' as possible.
The more pergistent the student,
the more apt 'he is for get a job.
Also those at the Manpower office
can then get to know thee student
better for assessing. him.
