Because of this, many women are finding it increasingly difficult to get jobs. It is a fact that the unemployment rate among women is higher than that of men. As a partial solution to the problem, the Public school news Canadian' government is advocating untraditional jobs for women through courses such as the one now being offered by the Canada Employment Centre and Conestoga College in Clinton. The course, called Introduction to • Non - Traditional Occupations for Women, will be taught by Mary Ramsberry at Conestoga College in Clinton beginning January 7. It Will run for eight weeks, with four weeks , of in -school in- struction and four weeks of practical instruction in various industries. It is open to women 17 years of age and over who have bpen out of school at least one year. The purpose of the 'course, according to Bob McDougall, local training What's new(s) at CPS The following poem.. was written by a grade seven student at Clinton Public School in reference to the Tut treasures. • Tutankhamun •Two men so brave and bold, Dug up the treasurers of Egypt's old. Tt took them long but they didn't give up, To find the treasurers of young King Tut. A step, a seal Much to their appeal. They found the tomb of Tutankham un, With treasures of gold which were uncommon. Treasurers of gold and alabaster, Their hearts began to beat much faster. A golden guard standing in the door; The sight of the curse caused their minds to soar. They looked around But no mummy was found. Between the guards there was to reveal Another kind of a royal seal. The first peek in they had to stare For a golden wall was shining there. Then they saw the mummy case And Tutankhamun's golden face.

These • occupations could include construction work, truck driving, operating machinery, welding, etc. Mr. McDougall says some of these non- traditional jobs offer much better wages than the taditional ones for women. He also feels that employers are becoming more recepti4 to women in all occupations. In fact, • it is discriminatory to overlook a woman for a job simply based on the fact that she is a woman. Courses, such as the one being offered at Conestoga in January, are being held across the province. In some of the larger centres they have been running for two or three years. Mrs. Ramsberry, who will be teaching the course in Clinton, has worked with a teacher conducting a. similar course at Conestoga's Waterloo campus for the last three years. This is the first time such a course has been held in this area though. It may be offered a second time if enough people . show interest. There are openings for 10 women.
