As the hot days of summer
give way to the nippier ones
tN late August, student sum-
mer jobs come to an end. Late
August also brings the closing
of the Canada Employment
Centre for Students.
Thanks to the support of
many employers in the Ex-
eter area, business at the Ex-
eter Student Employment
Centre was quite successful
this summer. The number of
total student job vacancies
registered at the Exeter office
is down approximately 20 per-
cent from last year; however,
given this summer's poor
economic situation, this drop
is Less than • what was
expected.
Overall, 139 "regular" jobs
(jobs lasting over five days)
and 106 "casual" jobs (jobs of
five days or less) were filled
by the Exeter office, as com-
pared with a total of 192
regular jobs and 106 casual
jobs in the summer of 1981.
These figures also show
that employers seem to be
hiring students for shorter
periods of time - our regular
jobs dropped greatly in
number, while our casual jobs
remained virtually the same
in number as those of last
summer.

What types of jobs could
you find students doing this
summer? ANYTHING is the
key word! Farm jobs. Odd
jobs - need your grass cut,
children babysat, windows
washed? Waiting tables,
working as storeclerks,
supervising playgrounds. One
of a kind jobs - how would you
like to measure tree trunks
for the summer?
Rowena Schaufler of Hen-
sall is hard at work at Church
Housing Antiques, Hensall.
Rowena, a grade eleven stu-
dent at SHDHS, is an example
of a student who brought
specialized skills to her job.
Having previously worked at
Canadian Furniture
Restorers, Exeter, plus
possessing an interest in both
woodworking and antiques,
Rowena was well qualified to
do the various tasks which
Peter and Janice Bisback,
her employers, sent her way.
Besides waiting on
customers and doing general
cleaning duties, Rowena)
learned a specialized techni-
que of polishing copper and
brass, hand stripped furniture
and refinished small items. In
fact, Janice says that they,
were so pleased with
Rowena's work that, though
originally they hired her for
only an eight week period,
they still give Rowena jobs
now that her eight weeks are
up!
Mark Lefler, a recent high
school graduate, has found
the job market much tighter

Crediton Club V was held
August 3 at the home of Deb-
bie Larkin. The group made
prints of leaves that can be
found in the area.
The ,name of the club was
decided to be "The Wild
Bunch."
The next meeting is to be a
party for the members and
their mothers. The menu was
planned. It will fnclude shish -
kabobs, toasted mar-
shmallows and power packed,
snacks.
The fourth meeting's party
went over well. The club first
started the fire then began the
meeting. Fruit leather was
tried by all the members and
parents; It was really good,
according to Debbie.
The club was also told how
to dry fruits and a demonstra-
tion was given by Susan
Sullivan: After the dishes
were cleared away from the.
delicious meal, the meeting
was adjourned.

This year's win was in the
"salted butter" categories.
Stacey was awarded 98.40
points out of a possible 100 to
capture the top award.
For the two major competi-
tions in Canada, the C.N.E.
and Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair, Stacey has now
captured an unprecedented
record of seven Champion-
ships for the last eight
competitions.
Butter department super-
visor Karl Graf and his

in the last two summers than
previously. Mark has ex-
perience in various areas - in
the past he has worked as a
subcontractor, fence in-
staller, tobacco primer and
greenskeeper. Though he had
had no previous experience in
the restaurant business, it did
not take long for him to learn
the skills required for his job
as a waiter at the Good Times
Eating Emporium, Exeter.
Mark is in the midst of
choosing among several
possibilities for the fall -
perhaps he'll enter universi-
ty as a mature student in the
business program; perhaps•
he'll extend his summer job
into a fall one. Whatever he
decides, the summer's
employment has been ap-
preciated both for the fin
cial gains and for the increase
ed job experience.
Though obviously not all
students are , efficient
workers, as a group they have
a great deal to offer. Ver-
satility - who, other than a stu-
dent, is willing to cut your
lawn with two hours notice for
two dollars an hour? En-
thusiasm - the enthusiasm
that comes from
inexperience.
Often, this is not just
another but a first job, and as
such they take pride in mak-
ing it work. Inexpensive - if
they're seventeen or under,
the minimum wage runs at
$2.65 per hour (compared to
$3.50 per hour for non -student
or 18 and over workers).
Variety - there are
postgraduate students with
'several years of study in a
specialized field which can be
applied to your particular job.
Then, there is my small crew
of 11 and 12 year olds who.
compensate for their inex-
perience with a determination
to do anything that will put
spending money in their
pockets.
As times become worse,
students' needs for jobs in-
crease. With more fatVilies
experiencing lay-offs, student
paychecks are in greater de-
mand to help make ends
meet. And as the competition
for jobs grows tougher, the
need for higher education in-
creases. Yet it costs upward
of $4,500 per year for that
university education - where
is this lrrtopey to come from if
not from student summer
employm nt?
The is there, and it is
increa ing. Rowena, Mark,
myself and the many other
students who found work
through the Exeter Student
Employment Centre would
like to thank the over 125 area
employers who enabled us to
have a working summer. If
you have a job for a student
(part-time fall help,
perhaps?) please contact me,

energy security for
'We're using less oil.
In Canada, we are able to produce more electricity, natural gas,
propane and coal than we need. When we bring our oil production
into balance with our oil consumption, Canada will be completely
self-sufficient in energy. And with the assistance of programs from
the Government of Canada, that's exactly what's happening.
• Thousands of homeowners and businesses have used Canada Oil
Substitution Program grant to convert from
oil to other fuels for heating.
• Over a million have used Canadian Home
Insulation Program grants to cut energy con-
sumption by improving insulation.
• A major pipeline project is taking western
natural gas to new markets to help reduce
dependence on oil. Another program
is helping gas utilities to extend service to
new customers.
• The Propane Vehicle Grant Program is helping
operators of large fleets of vehicles convert
from gasoline to clean, economical propane.
Government of Canada research and devel-
opment is finding new ways of reducing our
dependence on oil. Improved insulation tech-
niques for homes, water heating from solar
energy, generation of electricity by wind power,
use of waste materials as an energy source are
all being demonstrated in current federal
government projects.
We're finding more oil.
In the north, in spite of difficult economic times over the
past year and a half, there have been new oil discoveries in both the
Beaufort Sea -Mackenzie Delta and in the Arctic Islands areas.
Canada's established oil reserves, as estimated by the Canadian
Petroleum Association, increased in 1981 with the inclusion, for the
first time, of the promising Hibemia reserves in the Atlantic offshore.
Enough gas has now been proved off Sable
Island to proceed with development. All told,
natural gas reserves have been discovered at
more than twice the rate of production in Canada
in recent years.
