Each year, many young people
in Ontario continue their post-
secondary education with
financial assistance obtained
through the Federal Govern-
ment's Canada Student Loans
Plan and grants provided by the
Government of Ontario. The loan
and grant programs are both
administered through the
Provincial Government's Ontario
Student Assistance Program
(OSAP). Loans are interest free
while students are in full-time
attendance at the specified
educational institutions. Grants
do not normally have to be
repaid. In addition to OSAP, a
number of bursaries, fellowships,
scholarships and other forms of
financial assistance are available
through the Federal and Ontario

Bruce station
provides power
Bruce nuclear generating sta-
tion supplied electricity to the
Ontario Hydro system for the
first time at 6:07 p.m. Saturday.
This follows more than a
month of low-power tests on
the reactor, which started up
July 27.
The station's Unit 2—the
first of four identical units to
be completed—will gradually
increase its output over the next
few months to its full capacity
of 750 megawatts. When all
units are In operation, expected
in 1979, they will meet the peak
needs of a city the size of Metro-
politan Toronto.
The Bruce unit is larger than
any of the four at Pickering,
which have a capacity of 500.
megawatts each, and the 200 -
megawatt unit at Douglas
Point.
The station, located on the
shore of Lake Huron in Bruce
township, between Kincardine
and Port Elgin, contains as
much structural steel as in two
Toronto -Dominion Centres, and
stretches one-fifth of a mile
inland.
Construction began in late
1969, and involved more than
20 trades, with a peak employ-
ment of 8,000.
The $1.7 billion station repre-
sents a unique achievement, in
that the technology—provided
by Ontario Hydro, Atomic
Energy of Canada Limited and
the manufacturing industry—is
all -Canadian.
The Bruce station is the latest
version of the basic design used
at Pickering and Douglas Point,
all using natural uranium fuel
with heavy water moderator and
coolant.
As well as supplying electri-
city to the people and industries
of Ontario, the Bruce station,
will provide steam as heat ener-
gy to the nearby heavy water.
plants. First steam to these
plants is expected next year.

repayment must usually begin
six months after completing such
full-time study, Interest rates
vary slightly from year to year,
and students are advised to
discuss this matter when
negotiating loans. Immediate
repayment in full is required if
false or misleading. information
is provided' in applications, and
partial repayment may be
required if financial cir-
cumstances change.
More than 106,000 applications
were received by OSAP in 1975-
76, and assistance was provided
to more than two out of every five
students in Ontario. The
province's budget for OSAP
grants this year is $61 million, up
from $49 million in 1975-76.
As of August 27th this year,
more than 74,000 applications
were received by the Ontario
Student Assistance Program, of
which almost 50,000 have already
been processed, and the results
sent out to the various colleges
and universities. Another 15,000
applications will be processed
and returned to the institutions in
the next week or so.
There has, apparently, been
some delay in processing ap-
plications, due to the great
number received in a com-
Manpower
in Exeter
Canada Manpower commenced
their move into new area office
facilities this week.
The office will now be located
in the Exeter mall on the former
Cann's Mill site, joining Sted-
man's, Becker's and Dixie Lee.
The Canada Manpower office
was formerly located at Huron
Park.
"By locating in Exeter, it is
anticipated that we will be able to
provide our services to a greater
number of people while at the
same time not inconveniencing
our employer clients," notes J.R.
Gillespie, counsellor.
A full range of Canada Man-
power services will be provided
at the new offices.
The office will be open from
8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the
telephone 'numbers in Exeter are
235-0471 or 235-0472,
paratively short period.
However, for the most part, those
students who applied early in tine
summer should know the results
of their applications by the end of
September, provided that all the
necessary information was
supplied. Any inaccuracies
would, of course, slow down
processing of the application.
OSAP loans and grants are only
available to .: full-time post-
secondary students who are
unable to meet the full cost of
their education Usually, the first
$1,000 of assistance is provided in
the form of a loan guaranteed by
the Federal Government, with
additional funds being provided
in the form of a non -repayable
grant from the Province.
Students who were unable to
find work this summer may also
be eligible for additional loan
assistance, in view of their.
