MAGGIE MILLER EXETER PLAYGROUND LEADER End of season for Exeter HRCC-S office EXETER — The Exeter Human Resource Centre of Canada for Students (HRCC-S) will close its doors for the season on July 30. The HRCC-S has enjoyed over 35 summers of success helping students and businesses with their employment needs. This summer, the Goderich and Exeter HRCC-Ss helped more than 260 employers and stu- dents with their summer employment needs and posted over 340 student job vacancies. The HRCC-S assisted local employers to find qualified, enthusiastic students ready to work. The HRCC-S also hosted a number of events to promote the benefits of hiring a student during the summer and visited local schools to provide students with information on job search techniques, resume and cover letter writing, interview skills and employ- ment standards and wage rates. I would like to thank all the local employers who helped support student employment this summer, including those who created opportunities for younger students by using our "Odd Job Squad." I would also like to thank all the students who came in to use our services throughout the sum- mer. The Goderich student office will remain open for an additional week, until Aug. 6. You can reach Amy at 1-800-265-5185, ext. 232. After August 6, you can post any additional job orders on the Job Bank Web site by visiting jobbank.gc.ca. Throughout the summer, students can continue searching for jobs at that web site as well. For last minute help, or if you have any further questions, feel free to contact Katie at (519) 235- 1711 until July 30. The HRCC-S is located at 281 Main St. S., Exeter. The Exeter HRCC-S is looking forward to working with the community again next year to support student employment. The Human Resource Centres of Canada for Students are part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy.

F Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Dry mouth can be a side effect of some medications. It untreated, dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay so it's important to pay close attention to good oral hygiene. Drink plenty of water, brush and floss more frequently and use a fluoride toothpaste. There is a saliva -testing lab now operating in Canada. It tests for various male and female hormones and can be of help with determining which hormone supplements are best for each person. It's a oatient-pay lab and a standard five -hormone assay panel will cost 5200. From the 'for what it's worth department': Remember way back in history, medical expertise felt that bleeding a patient was helpful in curing disease? Leeches were used for this purpose. Researchers in Russia are using leeches on painful muscles around the joints of arthritic sufferers. Seems to help reduce the pain. The scientists who proposed a possible link between autism and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine have formally retracted their findings saying there is no causal link between the vaccine and autism.
