18 weeks in clerk's office
Page 9
Once again the village of Hensall is
employing two university students
under the provincial Involvement in
Municipal Affairs program to work in
the municipal office for 18 weeks.
Former Hensall resident Evelyn
Vincent, now living in Shipka, is older
than most of the students who have
been employed under the IMA pro-
gram. After taking courses part-time
at the University of Western Ontario
for a number of years, she left her job
at MacLeans in Exeter last year and
enrolled as a full-time student at
Western.
Evelyn has found that age makes
no difference at the university. She
has been fully accepted by her 19 and
20 -year-old classmates in administra-
tion and commercial studies. A
mutually beneficial exchange of ex-
perience has taken place. The young-
er students have helped her adapt
to classroom routine. and she has
given them first-hand information on
what it's like out there in the work
force.
Evelyn would encourage those in-
terested in going to university to get
a couple of years of work experience
first. She believes this gives people a
much clearer concept of where they
want to go, and what courses will get
them there. She returned to school to
be able to support herself better and
was caught up in the chall • I • • and
reward of further educa
Evelyn's duties at the He fice
fit right in with her hope of . 'salon
in local government after graduation
in a year's time. She likes meeting
people, being of service and making
decisions, and that is what she has
been doing since April 27. Besides
renewing acquaintance with old
friends who come in to pay their
taxes, she has to balance and deposit
the mone . She is also setting up a fil-

is part of the town hall renovatins,
and is performing general office duty.
Although always interested in local
government, Evelyn has not realized
the variety of responsibilities in a
municipal office before. She hopes the
future holds a challenging. full time
job in government administration
with the opportunity to continue to
learn.

mits that in previous years his main
concern in searching for a sumrner
job was money. His friend Dave
Rowcliffe, a former summer student,
made the liensall job sound so in-
teresting that Jeff rearranged his
priorities and applied.
Jeff has not regretted his decision.
Factory jobs may pay more. he said.
but no price can be put on the
valuable experience of working in a
municipal office. . •
As promised, the job is also in-
teresting and varied. Clerk Betty Oke
has given him a free hand to get in-
volved in ant area he wishes. Ile has
spent some time at the county plann-
ing department in Goderich, is up-
dating the village's economic
statistics book, and is assisting the
economic development officer in ex-
ploring ways to make Hensall more
attractive to both newcomers and -
long-time residents, as well as draw
in more permanent residents and
businesses.

Unlike his previous summer
employment, which he put behind
him each day al the end of his shift,
Jeff takes his Ilensall job home with
him. Ile talks of it with his friends.
and gleans ideas on what can be done.
Ile said that with any other job. he
couldn't wait • to gel out. but working
in a municipal office is_a way of life:
you have to enjoy what you are doing
to be effective in your job. He thinks

just great.

business. preferahly in sales. What he
learns this sumrner will be of im-
measurable help later on.
