Russell Review Queen's Park Report... Finding a Summer Job Now that summer is coming, high school, college and univer- sity students will be looking for summer work. The chance of finding the type of job you want, be it your first time or your fiftieth, is seldom an easy task. The Ontario Government is helping to solve this problem. If you are looking for a job for the first time, or know someone who is, the Ontario Youth Secretariat has the booklet for you! Entitled "How to Look for a Summer Job", this pamphlet carefully outlines all the steps you should take for getting a job and gives tips on how to write resumes and handle interviews. "Experience '77, a pro- gramme first introduced by the Youth Secretariat in 1972, is once again in operaton. It will make more than 10,000 com- munity-oriented jobs available to students over the summer. Wherever possible, they are actually run through -- local organizations, agencies and Government offices. There is a huge variety from which to choose: staffing legal aid clinics, working on conser- vation projects, restoring mus- eum artifacts, driving ambu- lances, the list goes on and on. There are also more than 10,000 jobs available through the Government's regular sum- mer replacement programme. Students are hired to replace regular staff (from 22 different ministries) who are going on vacation. There may also be a need for extra seasonal help. Specific ministries have special employment program- mes as well. For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is sponsoring the Junior Agric- ulturalist Programme. This gives young people, 16 to 17 years of age, the opportunity to live and work on a farm for the summer. To be eligible for the programme one must be seriously interested in agriculture and come from an urban area. The Ministry of Treasury, Economics and_ Intergovern- mental Affairs (TEIGA) is also offering a summer programme. Called "I.M.A.", Involvement in Municipal Administration, it will employ 30 students who are enrolled in public planning at designated universities and community colleges. Participat- ing municipalities will be reim- bursed by up to 80 per cent of the students' salaries and the students hired will gain valuable practical experience in their own field. It isn't always possible to get a summer job that is exactly what you want, but students are asked to keep in mind that every bit of job experience counts in the long run, especially when it comes time to apply for permanent employment. Application forms for Ontario Experience '77 are available at my Hawkesbury office at 102 Main Street East, telephone: 632-2706.

Spring breakup, early this year by at least four weeks, and as usual, after the high water has subsided in the Castor, the river will be garnished with the debris of winter. Oil cans, Javex bottles, bits of plastic, a fortune in beer bottles, dead cats, you name it, it's there. This year the Scouts plan to clean it up, starting at the dam and working up stream as far as the town line if we can. In order to do a really good job we could use the help (there are only 14 of us) and so Scout we invite all users of the river, that is canoeists, kyakers and just plain people concerned about pollution to make a day of it with us. Bring your canoe, kyak or car-topper, with or without an outboard, about three plastic garbage bags and a spike or small garden fork plus your lunch and make your first day on the river this year a clean up day. The day is tentatively set for Saturday, May 7th, 10:00 a.m. Thanks to the School Board policy of allowing the public News school gym to be used after school hours by responsible groups, the Russell troop have benefitted from the use of the gym for 'sports, tumbling, boxing, wrestling and Canada Fitness Programs. Don't forget boaters, caoeists and kyakers, Saturday, May 7th for the river cleanup.
