(Photo by Dave Sykes) GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE up to TENDER YEARS INFANTS' & CHILDREN'S WEAR 30 Kingston St• Goderich 524.8112 As of May 3, both the Goderich and Exeter Canada Employment Centres for Students have been open for business. Joni Thompson has been hired again this year for the" position of .Student Placement Officer in Goderich. Joni is a native of Goderich and has just completed her degree in physical education at the University of Western Ontario. She plans to attend teachers' college next year. For the summer, she will be helping students find jobs out of the Goderich office located above the post office on 35 East Street. Kathy Caldwell of Seaforth will . be the Student Placement Officer for* the ExeTer office on 305 Main Street. Kathy will be finishing her degree . in English. andhistory next year at Western and then plans to attend law school. Both Joni andKatlwill be supervised .by Jim Thorne. Jim, who works out of the Goderich office, will be soliciting employers for job vacancies for students this summer along with. arranging publicity, ad- vertising and ,promotion -for the Hire -A -Student cam- paign and compiling 'statistics on employment activity. Joni and Kathy , will be taking job orders from employers and registrations from students, selecting and referring students to em- ployers and giving out job - hunting tips as well 'as disseminating information on government programs available to students and employers alike. They will also assist in compiling statistics and visiting em- ployers. Compared to April 1981, statistics show an increase of 94 per cent in numbers of students placed in jobs and an increase of 51 per cent in the number of job openings available to students. Although these figures in- dicate only employment activity conducted through the Student Employment Centre, and therefore not in the economy in general, such increases are very en- couraging considering that 1982 promises to be quite a tough year for student job- seekers. Students are urged to register as soon as possible with the Employment Centre in their area. Employers are en- couraged to call the Student Employment Centre if they need a student for a couple of hours, days or for the whole summer. The Centre has many students who are ready, willing and more than able to do --just--- about anything. Hospital auxiliary makes donations Patients at Alexandra' Marine and General Hospital can now enjoy hairdressing and barbering services for a minimal fee thanks to the hospital auxiliary. A room on the ground floor of the hospital, formerly used as an ambulance office, has been transformed into a hairdressing shop and is now in service. The maintenance department at the hospital did the renovations and the auxiliary paid -for these renovations as well as buying supplies for the new facility. Auxiliary pr®sident Janet Kalbfleisch esti:,ates that it cost a bit over $1,000 in total. Any money made from the will be put back into aux ary work. Job saved Approval of a work - sharing agreement that will keep one Goderich-area worker on the job was an- nounced recently by Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan on behalf of Employ- ment and Immigration Minister Lloyd Axworthy. Prior to the agreement, the company - South End Body (Goderich) Ltd. - was in the position of having to layoff this employee for eight weeks. The agreement, part of a program now budgeted at $90 million, will see three of the company's employees voluntarily moving to a four- day work week for a 13 -week period. Each week these workers willreceive one day of Unemployment Insurance benefits to "top up" their reduced wages. The chief benefit of the work -sharing program to the company is that it will allow South End Body to keep its work -force intact and at a sufficiently high skill level to meet the demands when hill production resumes. From the employees' point -of -view, the major con- sideration is that they will be spared the uncertainties and hardships of total unemploy- rpent. They will even be able to maintain their fringe benefits throughout the period. , To. date, 217 agreements -involving 15,710, employees in work sharing, and preven- ting the lay-off of 6,264 workers have- been -approved_ in Ontario.
