Throughout the planting and grow- ing season, farmers often work from dawn till past dark, and the Canada Employment Centre for Students (CECS) wants to ease the work load. When employers call in requesting help, CECS staff go through their files to locate suitable students, who are re- ferred to the employer. The employer makes the hiring decision. The CECS can also supply informa- tion on government programs designed to encourage the hiring of students. For more information, contact the CECS nearest you: Goderich, 524- 2744, Exeter, 235-1711, Listowel, 291- 2922, and Stratford, 271-9700.0 PERTH DAIRYMAN ELECTED TO U. B.
