1 Training group offers
managern.erit course
The Huron Conmwnity
Industrial Training Com-
mittee has announced it will
again offer the ' Canadian
Institute of Management
certificate course for the
county 'business conninuunity
this fall
The county -wide com-
mittee offered the first year
of the four year management
and administration course
last year and hopes to entice
enough applicants to offer
Year 2 beginning in Sep-
tember.
Wayne Kennedy of
Champion Roads Machinery
Ltd.,. said the training
conunittee is committed to
get as much training as
possible in the county and
avoid sending people to
• outside centre for courses in
management. The group
needs a commitment from .30
people to offer the second
year of the course and
anyone can jump right into
the second phase of the four-
year course. -
Initially the course was
directed towards industry
but Wayne explained that it
has merits for any business
on.
lD We are trying to market
the program, ° generate in-
terest and keep it in the
county. We will continue to
offer the courses yearly but
if we can't get the number,
the committee will pay the
difference or the applicants
will have to go to London,"
he said:
"The course gives people a
better appreciation and
sol aading---•-o --eShat
they're doing and allows a
certain mobility," he said.
"The value of the course is
that people get to talk to
hardness people from across
the county and that in-
teraction is valuable. They
get to digcass the same
•
•
problems that people ex-
perience
xperience in business and
exchange ideas."
The second year of the
CIM course deals with
Canadian Business Law and
Organizational and Huulan
Behaviour. If enough in-
terest is generated in the
program, all four years of
the certificate course will be
offered in Goderich an a
continuous basis.
The cost for one year is
$270 and there will be one -
three hoursession each week
in the board room of the
assessment office on
Gloucester Terrace.
The committee needs
commitments by July 1 and

Safety council lauds
Year of Disabled
At a meeting held in
Ottawa during the first week
of June, representatives of
the Canada Safety Council
and of nine provincial safety
councils or leagues carne out
strongly in support of the
objectives of the Inter-
national Year of Disabled
Persons.
These representatives of
the safety constituency in
Canada pointed out that
when properly trained and
placed,and when competing
on an equal basis, disabled
persons equal, and often
` xce1, we.. ftaeleed perso*s
in poductivity and safety.
Also, their attendance and
turnover girds are usually
better.
To properly place a
disabled person in the work
force certain requirements
should be observed, and
indeed they apply for all
persons.
1. Workers must aneet the
physical demands of the job.
2T -Workers must not
present a hazard to them-
selves or to Others. .
3. Tasks must.. not
aggravate . the degree of
disability.
Proper placement mat-
ches

The group of safety

Hiring policy discriminatory
Mother says board hiring policy wrong
A Goderich mother has charged that a
recreation board hiring policy, stating that
no more than one person per family will be
hired for summer employment, is
discriminatory.
Pat Wheel appeared before mimed
Monday and in reading from a prepared
statement, asked council to re-evaluate
the recreation board hiring policy. One of
her sons has worked as a swimming pool
supervisor for several summers and she
said a second son . has been denied a
position on the pool staff because of the
recreation board policy limiting ems
ployment to ane family member.
She claimed her son was the best
qualified applicant for the staff but was
rejected on the basis of board policy. She
told council the hiring policy discriminates
on the basis of family relationship
although it is not considered illegal by the
Human Rights Commission.
Her son is presently employed by the
town in a different department.
However, she said the policy would be
considered discriminatory under an
ammended Human rights Code which.
should be passed in the fall.
Recreation director, Jane Netzke said
the recreation board policy does not
presently allow summer en)ployt for
two family members. She said the policy
has affected several families in the past.
Wheeler told council that slut hiring
policy is inconsistent with provincial and
anunicipal policies and 'that suds a policy
does not eat within other departinents of
the municipality.
"Surely the first priority of the board in
relation to selection of swimming pool
staff should be the quality of water safety
afforded to all the youngsters who
patronize the pool," she said. "This can
only be assured by a selection policy which
is based even merit and qualification and
equal opportunity for. ail applicants. A
policy that permits rejection of those best
qualified is cestainlyquestionable."
Mrs. Wheeler said the letter of rejection
received by her son advised the applicant
to upgrade qualifications for future can -
sideration. That, she said, is deceptive.
Mrs. Wheeler's written statement and
request were referred to the recreation
board for funnier consideration
Later, councillor Elsa Hayden in-
troduced a notice of motion that will ask
council to consider a hiring policy that
discourages the hiring of sons and
daughters of council :members to tem-
porary,
