hand 24 with at least Grade 8
educations. Applicants must be
wifling to travel, accept respon-
sibility, and receive top salaries
and benefits. .
An applicant first visits the
two officers at the manpower
centre. The person completes a
general information form
similar to a job applicationfor
any organization or company.
Na obligation is attached to it.
If the app1ic4nt is under 25
with less than a complete „high
school education, the officers
will counsel him or her about
opportunities and trades
available on the basis of infor-
mation on the general form and
a short written test.
If
-
If both the applicant and the
armed forces are still interested
after this informal meting, an
appointment is arranged in
London. Time is set for the Con-
venience of the applicant.
9ehe appointment inclades a
medical examination, detailed
testing and an interview. If the
applicant is acceptable, officers
offer training in some of the 64
• skilled trades open to armed
forces personnel.
Once a serviceman completes
training in one of thesertrades,
or she may qualify to
specialize in one of 29 adiian-
ced courses.
Maj. Wood cited an e)Aample
of a medical attendant taking
an advanced course to qualify
as an X-ray technician, a
valuable trade which could be
used in civilianlife.
This is explained to the ap-
plicant in London. The forces
want to make sure a full under-
standing of military life is
revealed before a, final decision
is made.
The applicant can then
decide tO loinvor reject the for-
ces.
Majp• Wood and Capt.
Harrison listed what they -felt
are the benefits of joining. Star-
ting pay is $371.26 per month
while a person is training, but
the two offic4s haStened to
add that within three years the
average serviceman earns
$10,000 per year. Complete
medical benefi6 and a 371/2
hour work week are included.
Education is paid by the for-
-ces.‘A person can upgrade stan-
dings -4o a Grade 13.1evel and
qualify for university.
Duiing a person's first five
years of service, he receivesPa
four -Week paid vacation every
year. After five years vaditions
are five weeks. Travel for a ser-,
viceman and his depepdents is
"free on armed • forces aircraft.
When a person is -transferred,
the forces pay moving expenses.
There is opportunity for
travel and adventure, the,
recruiting officers said.
They also •talked , of an in-
tangible item, "esprit de corps"
which they described as
comradeship and "working
with a good organization!'. r
Military aspects a person,
might find objectionable are
"the same as those found in
any job", they maintained.
Rules and regulations, a
demand for discipline, are -part
" of militarylife but they are
necessary: The armed forces
must operate efficiently.
Basic training and initial
trade instruction are the most
difficult part of any person's
new life with the forces. Some
of the forces' stations, such as
rem* Arctic radar posts, are
isolated, but a limit of six mon-
ths is placed on the time a man
has to remain at one. He also
receives a break every four to
six weeks. „ • .
Hair is minor point, which
persons seriously considering
armed forces careers usually
don't feel is important. Forces'
regulations require hair short'
by youthful standards but they
are riot extreme.
"Join the armed forces and
be a non -conformist", Capt.
Harrison said with a smile.
The five-year contact, a per-
son signs when joining the for-
ces. may, be dissolved in some
cases if a military career is not
deemed suitable by a ser-
viceman and his ,corrimanders.,
While this is not a disadvan-
tage- to join, it is ,one of the
changes Maj. Wood has noted
during his 23.years of service to
Canada.
The major described another
career opportunity open tO high
school graduates. The armed
forces will pay a suitable per-
son to attend university for'
four years.
Upon graduation, the forces
requite the person to serve for
an additional four years as an
officer.
The forces also,inviie persons
with professional skills to
inquire about careers serk'iing
Canada. Women are as
welcome, as men to join. They
are offered the same oppor,
tunities for advancement and
training.
Maj. Wood said the armed
forces is looking for "all sorts of
people."
• In an effort to get- this
message to the public, officers
are available to speak to in-
terested groups and
organizations. Forces' per-ebnnel
•have already talked with high
school student across .the
country. "'
•• The discussion of military
careers by officers such as Maj.
Wood and Capt. Harrison
• would be enough to shatter
almost any student's illusion of
the armed forces as being an
old stuffed shirt in a modern
world. The militarry service, as
presented by the two men,
seems vital and contemporary.

ROUND AND ABOUT ,WITII MARTHA
It seems I like to start my
column with an old weather
report each week, I do this
• becaus'el know someone mites
and miles awaY likes to hear
about it, so here we go again.
Believe it or not the .holiday
weekend was a beautiful shade,
of BRIGHT, with the warm
• sun working hard to waken the
soggy buds of the trees and
.
flowers. = And I mean --
SOGGY!
We are very fortunate to be
high above the flood ,waters.
We sure grumble if there is
water • in the basement or
Itteaking the ,wallpaper, but
how would we react to water
half way or more to the ceiling?'
1 shudder to ttiink about it, and
• I surely feel sorry for the poor
devils whose homes have been
ruined from this flooding. Fire
or water Out of control, can be
a terrible thing.
• Looking- down on a dirty
swollen Maitland River --seeing
the dark brown stain pushing
into the lake and back into
Snug harbour, really makes one
realize , we have a- great
location.
At the harbourthe water was
Indeed dirty- made rtie think of
all the good earth that has been
carried down the river and has
no place to go but build up that
• barrier at the mouth of the
river. We will soon have an
island there.
Our new marina supervisor,
Lee Gareau, was busy tidying
pp' the building and a lot has
alreadY'been done with °paint
and a hammer and a saw. We
are happy to have someone who
is familiar with our harbour
and town. He knows what is
needed - what we should have
and I'm sure he will do his best
to keep it one of the best
marinasRnthis side of the
lake.
• Port of Goderich - I like 'the
sound of that - now, when I tell
people about Goderich I made
sure they know it is a PORT -
and actually the only one on
• this side of Lake Huron until
you get down to •
Sarnia Makes
.
you think doesn't it. -
Also Goderich is -becoming
well-known because of the good
s,(4j. boating group we have
here'. Don't you just love to see
them sailing •out of the har-
bour?. I sit •and watch - and
envy them, - well, not really -
but I'm happy to see the won-
derful sight of their flotilla
gaily sailing' out beyond the
\
never tell who
breakwalls. ‘, wish someone
would explain their method of
ver
has won.
There are some wonderful
• , areas in and around Goderich
for hikes and picnics, also the
fishing has beoome more
popular - if that is possible. Of
course we have many beautiful
parks in and dear Goderich.
Driving in the country has
always been a' favorite 'sport' of
mine. There is just SO much to
see.
The bowling greeds will be
ready to go any day now. Rave
• you tried lawn' bowling? You
should, you will really enjoy it.
You just liakte to Asociate it
with, the game of curling in-
stead of bowling - alley bowling
- as yoiu now know it.,The folks
• at the "Greens" on 'Picton
Street welcome all newcomers.
They explain . the game, show 'ft'
'and help you get the "hang" of
it and, once this happens you
are hooked for life. Th,at's why
you see so many older people
bowling -tit -is a game you never
tire of and all your grovvn.up
•yyears you keep going, back to
lawn bowling. So you see you
• miss:ta lot if you don't gel star-
ted while you are young. It is a
young peoples' game - in my
estimation - because it has a
great challenge and you never
know until the last bowl is,
down who has won the end.
Also, it is not a weaklings
game, you need .stamina and
vitality - and the smile just
comes naturally. Try it. The
price is right, too - •so come
over, Znytime.
Don't forget there are a few
good times planned for the next
few weeks.
June 1 - the Canadian
Foresters Dance at Saltford
Hall. Mrs. Grant Sterling has
info'.
June 8- the Beta Sigma Phi
Sorority girls have a great
night planned. Their Proceeds
are slated for aid to children
whether in hospital or thro' the
children's aid- at any rate it is
for a good cause and your party
will enjoy the dance. Our own
El -Wet -ones supply the music - so
• get your gang together.
