Assessment and Direct
Assistance programs, such as
the provision of artificial lilts,
wheelchairs and other or-
thopaedic appliances, are still
very much part of the Foun=

However, renewed interest
and effort by local volunteers .
has resulted : in a growin• ;
recognition of the needs of the

stimulating new programs and •
.activities especially tailored to
meet these needs at the local
level.

'A survey by an independent
research firm shows that the
majority of companies who
responded to Premier William
Davis' initiative last spring
asking them to consider hiring
summer students are in favour
of the Ontario government's
student summer .employment
campaign.
Minister without Portfolio
Margaret Birch, who is respon-
sible for Ontario's new Youth
,Secretariat, said , in a. ,news
rilease today the survey in-
dicates "widespread satisfac-
tion across the province with
student employees."
The. survey . was done by
Daniel Starch -Canada Ltd., as
a follow-up to a letter: sent by
Mr. Davis last May to Ontario
companies asking support of
the province's Summer '72
Student Employment Program:
The letter, mailed to the chief
executives of companies hiring
5Q -or more employees, also
requested their thoughts con-
Terning their experience with
student 'employees.
The 362 respondents to the
Premier's letter were almost
without exception in favour of
the Summer '72 Program.
Slightly more than half had
already hired or planned to,.
hire students in the summer of ,
1973. Manycommented that it''
'was a continuing practice. A
substantial number of -eom-

hired for summer employment
over previous years.

the Premier's lett indicates

employers across. the Province.
with student' employees along
with ''an' ev=id"e`rit desire„ by the
young people to perform well
on the job," 'aid Mrs: Birch.
"By including our youth in con-
structive summer programs
both in the private and .public
sectors we are . in a very real
way investing -in our .most im-
portant ,resource.".
W.W. -Coulthard, newly -
appointed director of the Youth
Secretariat, said "a majority of
those employers responding to
the Premier's letter •felt that
the 'students made good em-
ployees. This is especially im-
portant when so many young
people need a summer job to
earn money for:continuiing their
education. The.fact that ainum-
ber of eniploY.ers ,showed
willingness to expand their
._summer hiringsuggests to me
that'student workers pull their
weight and have ' gained a
justifiably good reputation
among employers."
Mr,,, -Coulthard continued;
"The response from industry
to Mr. Davis' letter. supports
the view bf those of us in the
Youth Secretariat that the
majority of young people, -when
. given an opportunity, are reaidy
to respond with enthusiasm
and competence to job oppor-
tunities. The new Youth
Secretariat ' intends to work'
closely with industry again this
summer in providing a worth-
while work experience for
young • people. ••Close
cooperation with those in-
dustries hiring stridents will be
maintained and extended."
