Our Sincere Thanks The publishers of this newspaper extend sincere apprecia- tion to all those who 'made the celebration of our fortieth an- niversary in business such a memorable event. To us it was particularly heart-warming that the members of our staff went to so much trouble to make all the arrangements as a surprise party for "the bosses", evidence of the fact that we work each day with good friends rather than mere employees. Sincere thanks also to the Wingham "Town Council for their good wishes and the beautiful floral piece which graced the head table, to Murray Elston, M.P.P., Hugh Edighoffer, M.P.P., Wiliam Jarvis, MP., the Listowel Chamber of Com- merce and the Wingham Business Association for their kind messages and good wishes. To have merited such commendation in the communities we serve is the highlight and greatest single reward for the years we have published your community newspapers.

She and co-worker Lori Jamieson, themselves students, were in Wingham last week to spread the word about the Hire a Student program and to sign up students and potential employers. Although the real push doesn't start until this week, when most high - school students finish. -writing exams, there are already about 700 students registered for work m the area covered by the Listowel office, stretching from Wingham to Arthur, Miss diver reported. About 200 of those are in the Wingham area_ They were signed up during a mass registration held at high schools Last March. For those students who have been ready for work earlier, the job market has been quite good, she added_ Although most of the job orders have been for casual labor, often on farms, there have been a lot of full-time jobs offered for the summer too. So far the registration by high school students is down from last year, Miss Oliver said, she doesn't know why, but the registration by college and university students is up substantially. She said they expect to place about 50 per cent of the students who register, ex- plaining this is not as bad as it looks, since a certain number of students register with Manpower but find jobs on their own. The Student Manpower office is a sort of clearing- house for summer jobs, she explained. As employers call in with work, they get on the phone to students on their job list for that area. Manpower doesn't set the wages, but often an em- ployer will call and ask what is the going rate, she said. "We'll tell them and tell them what is the minimum wage." Right now that is $3.50 an hour for persons over 18 and $2.65 an hour under 18. A lot of employers say they will pay the minimum wage to start, she added, and then raise it if the employee proves to be a good worker. In addition to taking calls from employers looking for help, Student Manpower also goes out and talks to em- ployers it thinks might be interested in the program. Sometimes it takes a while to get results, she said, but so far she has been pleased - Beatrice Brophy and Agnes Caskanette enjoyed a holiday recently on Lake Muskoka at Aston Villa Re- sort, Bracebridge and other interesting points in North- ern Ontario. Mr. and, Mrs. Parke/ Campbell had a surprise visit from her girlfriend of 47 years, Amy and Harry Savage of Stanley, New Brunswick and Mr. Savage's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
