Student employment centre gearing up
BY SAM KINSMAN
The Goderich Student Employment Cen-
tre, located above the Post Office on East
Street, is gearing up for another busy
summer.
"All indications are that there will be
plenty of jobs for students, this summer,"
said Centre Supervisor Marg Dupee. "The
economy in Huron County is presently in
an upswing and there is a definite in-
crease, from last year, in the jobs
available."
Dupee is assisted at the centre by stu-
dent placement officers, Bonnie Turner
from the Seaforth area, and Helen MacIn-
. tyre originally from Lucknow.
The centre is open Monday -Friday from
8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will be open until
the end of August.
Dupee said the centre operates as a con-
duit between employers and student job-
seekers.
"We visit the high schools and register
the students with the centre. We also visit
prospective employers and compile a
registry of the jobs available."
Dupee said the student registration
forms provide space for information on ex-
perience, preferred working hours,
transportation facilities, 'etc.
"When we get a call from an employer
for a specific job, we'll do a file search and
match the most compatible student with
the job. We then contact the student and
see if they are interested in the job, if so, it
is then up to them to follow through and ar-
range an interview with the emplgyer."
The staff at the centre also help students
to fill out application forms, complete
resumes, and teach them how to conduct
themselves during an interview.
"Job searching doesn't end with the cen-
tre," said Dupee. "We encourage the
students to check job boards and classified
ads and do their own follow up of potential
jobs."
According to Dupee, 55 per cent of last
year's student jobs for the area were
agriculture related.
"There are a considerable number of
farmers hiring students to help out with
the farm work. There is weeding, hoeing,
feeding of livestock, harvesting and so
on."
Dupee said that on the whole students
seem satisfied with the job selection
though on occasion a student - usually one
who has had a late start in the summer job
search - may become dissatisfied with
what is available.
"Other students may have too high of an
expectation for a summer job. Generally,
though, students who put an effort into
their job search will find a job which suits
them."
Helen Maclntyre will work full-time at
the Goderich centre, while Bonnie Turner,
as part of the centre's Outreach Program,
will split her time between Goderich, Clin-
ton, and Seaforth.
"Basically, what we are doing is taking
the student employment service to Clinton
and Seaforth," said Dupee. "Bonnie will
be in Seaforth on Tuesdays, and in Clinton
on Thursdays. The other days, she will be
in Goderich."
"In the mornings of Tuesdays and
Thursdays, Bonnie will be visiting poten-
tial employers both in the respective towns
and the outlying areas, such` as Blyth,
Bayfield, Winthrop, and Walton.. She will
also be visiting the public schools and in-
forming the students there about available
casual jobs such as lawn cutting, and
berry picking," said Dupee. "At lunchtime
she will be at the high schools helping
students to register and fill out job, cards
for the jobs in their area."
Turner will be at the Seaforth and Clin
ton libraries on Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons respectively.
"Bonnie will have a temporary office in
the library. She will work there from 2
p.m. to 5 p.m. on those days. She will have
the job board there and will be registering
students and giving out information on
such things as employer subsidy pro-
grams," said Dupee.
The Outreach Program will run until the
end of June.
Dupee said that the centre doesn't
discourage students from seeking employ-
ment outside of their area.
"All jobs are wide open to any ap-
plicants," said Dupee. "The only limita-
tion for certain students, may be their lack
of transportation, but we certainly don't
advise students not to look for jobs outside
of their area."
Legion ladies auxiliary attracts 20 teams
P.R.O. Gordon Scott and his wife Barbara
have gone to England for five weeks and
while he is away Legion News will continue

as to what is going on around the branch.
On Friday evening an installation team
from both the branch and the auxiliary went
to Clinton to install the officers in Branch
No. 140. Seaforth's own installation will take
place Saturday, May 21, when the Exeter
branch installation team will be coming to
town to install officers. Seaforth will, in turn

ner this Sunday, May 22 from 5 p.m. to 7
p.m.
Last Wednesdaythe ladies auxiliary held
its annual invitational bowling tournament
with 20 teams participating and Goderich
winning the trophy with a score of 2611.

their donations of groceries forthis event
and special thanks to all thos,:. who con-
tributed in any way to make the tournament
a success.
The sympathy of the branch is extended to
the family and friends of centurian comrade

Seaforth WI members intrigued with recycling
Concern for the environment, concern for
the future of rural Ontario, concern at the
needless waste of garbage and the thought
that something must be done now by the
women of rural Ontario led over 400 women,
mainly Women's Institute members, to at-
tend a Conference dealing with these topics.
Entitled, "Educate/Initiate", the three-
day Conference organized by the Federated
Women's Institutes of Ontario and held at
Queen's University, Kingston May 13 to 15
provided those who attended the opportuni-
ty to learn many of the aspects of Waste
Management and Recycling. As well the
workshops helped the members gain new
skills so they can go out into the community
and help promote the various ways our gar-
bage can be better utlized.
The key note speaker on the Saturday
Seaforth WI appoints
delegate to district
The Seaforth Women's Institute's May
meeting was held at Dave De Veries
meeting place. Mrs. Eldin Kerr opened with
a poem "Tomorrow", followed by the In-
stitute Ode and Mary Stewart Collect.
In the absence of the Secretary Mrs.
Clarissa Stewart read the minutes and did
roll call.
Delegates were appointed to the District
Annual on May 19. Annona Crozier and
Gladys Doig read six resolutions, which
were followed by a discussion. These will be
voted on at the District Annual. Gladys
Doig, Kay O'Rourke, Clarissa Stewart and
Thelma Dale are a committee to make ar-
rangements for the 60th Anniversary in Ju-
ly. The meeting was adjourned and lunch
was served by the lunch committee and
hostess.
evening was the Honorable Jim Bradley,
Minister of the Environment for Ontario. On
the panel discussing ways our garbage can
be used effectively were; Al Symmonds,
Assistant Regional Director of the Environ-
ment, Kingston, John Hansen, Executive
Director Recycling Council of Ontario, Pat
Salter, Deputy Reeve Township of Peel and
a Women's Institute Member and Elizabeth
Munt Co-ordinator Conserve Kingston.
Among those who participated in this Con-
ference was Helen MacKenzie, a member of
the Seaforth Women's Institute and Presi-
dent of the Huron South District Women's
Institute. Her remarks about the convention
were, The Human race has become a throw
away and a N.I.M.B.Y (No landfill site in
SOUND
INVESTMENT
my back yard) society.
"With Education, individual effort, and
cooperation recycling would extend the life
of present landfill sites. Open new recycling
industries -more jobs -less -waste -cleaner en-
vironment and money in the tax payer's
pocket," she said.
Mrs. MacKenzie noted each man, women
and child produces 2.2 lbs or 1.5k of garbage
a day. Ontario residents recycled 56,936 tons
of old newspapers In one year and recycling
one ton of newspapers saves 17 trees. It
takes less energy to manufacture paper
from waste paper than from trees.
Mrs. MacKenzie said she feels there is
potential for recycling glass, tin cans and
newspapers in the Seaforth area.

break, enter and theft, which took place in
Goderich.
An employee of the Goderich Post Office
arrived to work on October 29, 1987 at ap-
proximately 5:55 a.m. After entering the
building he noticed a cart, normally stored
in the vault, was in the middle of the room
and mail was thrown on the floor.

on the front door with vice -grips and then
punched the lock out of the interior doors.
Once inside the thieves moved quickly to the
vault, managing to open it without breaking
the lock. Inside the vault the culprit forced
