Few job opportunities Senior citizens
meet in 'Henson: Employment opportunities
in the area serviced by the
Exeter office of the Canada
Employment Centre are not
developing according to
Manager John Gillespie-.
Gillespie said this is
normally the time of year
when positions in, agriculture
and the construction trades
open up, but such is not the
After several months of
preparation and consultation
with area school boards, the
Ausable-Bayfield and
Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authorities, in
conjunction with the
Wingham District of the
Ministry of Natural
Resources, have recently
released a document entitled
Lands for Learning dealing
with outdoor educational use
of their public lands by
school groups, clubs and
interest groups,
Lands for Learning is a
self-contained inventory of
all of the local public
properties of the two Con-
servation Authorities and
Wingham Ministry of
Natural Resources district
which may be of interest to
groups wishing to study in
detail on how to book such
properties for "private
educational use," how to set
up activities on site, and the
rules and regulations
governing the use of such
case in 1980.
While he expected casual
labour opportunities in
agricultnre to be available
for the June-November
period there are no openings
for permanent employment
in agriculture.
The tight money situation
and the accompanying lack
of starts in the Carntnercial
areas.
In total more than 60
properties are outlined in
Lands for Learning, all of
which are located in the area
bounded roughly by Mild-
may and Lucknow in the
north, Lake Huron to the
west, Stratford and
Harriston to the east, and
Arkona in the south.
The Lands for Learning
manual is currently
available at schools within
the aforementioned
libraries. Clubs or interest
groups wishing to learn more
about the manual or ob-
taining a copy are asked to
contact the agency closest to
them. The Ausable-Bayfield

and, housing areas are to
blame for few employment
opportunities.
"It's a very tight labour
market," Gillespie stated.
The one encouraging
factor was the lowering of
the interest rates which
could result in employment
openings later in the sum-
mer, he said.
The employment centre's
student job placement has
begun in earnest with the
hiring of Mary Nichol of
Exeter as the summer
employment officer,
Ms. Nichol a student in
honours English at the
Univeriity of Western
Ontario in Londonstartedher
position this week,
One of her first duties will
be to contact to area em-
ployers to determine what
summer positions are
available.
To date, 136 high school
students have registered
with the centre while a big
jump in the number of post-
secondary students
registering with the centre
has occurred,
A total of 55 post-
secondary students have
registered for work. In 1979
as of the first of June no post-
secondary students were
registered with the Exeter
office, Gillespie stated.
In terms of the em-
ployment picture for
students both Nichol and
Gillespie said it was too
early to tell.
Every year for 12 years,
now, all the students of
Grade 8, many Grade 7 and
some from Grade 6 at Huron

Education Week is a time
where the family and
community reflects on the
educational achievements of
our young. All schools
provide programs for parent

window space downtown.
It provides an opportunity
to show those people unable
to attend school functions
that our schools are
providing educational ex-
periences for all children.
Remember that the family
is the largest single influence
in the life of a child. That
influence begins at birth and
continues to adulthood.

is not the only site in which
