The woodlands employees have been on strike since May 9 over the issue of job security. The members of Local 2693 of the International Woodworkers of America set up picket lines m Nakina, Geraldton, Longlac and Terrace Bay after management and union representa- tives failed to reach an agreement. Workers from those four com- munities met in the parking lot of the Shell station in Terrace Bay on the morning of June 11 to initiate a protest march through residential streets and Highway 17. Those from out of town had chartered school buses for the return trip. The march got underway at about 11.15 am and proceeded ~ down Simcoe Plaza before crossing the Highway. The course then snaked around Lakeview Drive before eventually returning to See "Picnic" on page 14 Students looking for summer employment can get a helping hand from Johanne- Bolduc. Johanne is the new placement officer with the Canada Employment Centre (CEC) for Students. The centre officially began operating on June 6 and is intended to match employers with appropri- ate students looking for steady summer employment or casual labour. Under that broad mandate, the definition of an 'employer' can vary from a homeowner who needs some yard work or basic repairs done to the traditionally sought- after jobs with the large local employers. Students may register at either of the two branch offices run by the CEC for students. The Terrace Bay office is located in the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre's Multi-purpose Room and will be opened Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

"I'm here to place students," says Johanne. "I'm going to talk to employers, and I'll find as many students as necessary that are capa- ble of getting the job done." As of Thursday, June 9, there were 36 student placements, which bettered last year's total June place- ment of 32. Positions presently listed include postings for student researchers, ski hill labourers, baby sitters and activity assistants. Johanne said that secondary and post-secondary students should take advantage of the employment services. She expects a surge in registrations when the high school year finishes at the end of June. She invites students and employers to contact her at the Terrace Bay office by phoning 825- 9231, or the Schreiber office at 824-2427. lal On the march: Pictured above, Frank Gallant, Longlac resident and striking Kimberly-Clark employee, is concerned about his future.

Besides raising funds, the Auxiliary tries to brighten a patient's stay in the hospital. With the cooperation of many school children, songs, plays and colour- ful artwork add a cheerful change.
