Remnants of a POW camp. Tips for the Unemployed Student Getting Organized The resume is one thing that you might need later on in your job searching career. The resume is a brief history and descrip- tion of you. It gives an employer a good indication of how well you might fit into the organization. Send a resume with every job application letter you write, and bring one to every personal interview. When writing your resume, keep it short and factual. Emphasize your strong points and ac- complishments. Forget that you have any short com- ings. There is more to a resume than this, but I sup- pose you're getting tired of reading. I'll keep you in suspense. NOTICE Deadline for August 7th only will be Thursday, August 1st 5:00 p.m. Public Library - Schreiber The Schreiber Public Library has been a very busy place during the week of Centennial Celebrations. A pictorial and heritage - display drew large crowds of visitors who were thrill- ed by the scrapbooks, photos and other memorabilia. Our sincere thanks to all who donated or loaned pic- tures and artifacts for our display. Anyone. still wishing to donate to our collection, please contact any member of the Board or drop them into the Library. ; Through the support of the Government of Ontario - especially the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, the Schreiber Public Library was able to hire two students Miss Connie McGuire and Miss Laura Cebrario, under the super- vision of Miss Eileen Ross to catalogue, classify and label our entire book collection. Also with the awarding of a Wintario Grant and the support of the Township of ~ Schreiber, a typewriter and other equipment has been ordered for our library. Many thanks to Eileen Ross for the attractive sign outside the doors leading to the library. So come in and visit your library - pick out a book to read during these cool evenings and look over our display if you didn't have a chance to do so during the past week. Anyone wishing copies of pictures in the arena com- plex hallways may leave their name with the librarian. Neys Provincial Park One display inside visitors' centre. Then And Now Vivian Ludington On July 22, my son and I had the opportunity to go on a guided tour of Neys Park, 58 km east of Ter- race Bay. It was one of the highlights of my summer and spring, and probably my Fall. For those of you who don't' know Neys Park, it was once a POW Camp. Neys Provincial Park not only has history everywhere you walk, it also has nature all around you with birds, animals and edible plants. The park now, is well established with a fair number of camp sites, in- cluding 27 electrically ser- viced sites, toilets, water taps showers and clothes washing facilities. The Park is open from June to September and has a weekly schedule of events, with special schedules for long weekends. Some of the regular events throughout the week are campfires, the very interesting POW walk, sing-songs and nature walks, also a mile long sand beach. As well, they have their Visitors Centre which is opened 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. dai- ly and presents a wide variety of displays from the POW Camps, as well as animals, rocks and plants of the area, along with slide shows on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We were treated to lunch and met some of the young adults who work at the Park. They are from all over Ontario, Geraldton, Sudbury, Hamilton and Ot- tawa. Our guide, who was very helpful and friendly was Dorie who is from Winnipeg. When Neys was a POW Camp from 1941 or 42 to 1945, it was large enough to house up to 500 men at one time and was known better as Camp No. 100. As well there was the Pigeon Timber Company Headquarters spread out over 220 acres with the camp occupying % of the area. For recreation the camps would compete in - baseball, and soccer games. Camp No.100 had a mascot that they used to take to the games. She was a bear that the men had found in the bush as a young cub and as she grew up among German speak- ing people that is what she understood. I could go on and on about how impress- ed I was with everything at tht, wn Prine Neys and all its history, but with the long weekend coming up why not pack up the kids and tent, and go out and spend the weekend and find out for yourself; or you could go out for just one day and take a picnic and give the kids a great history lesson or nature lesson.

He is the son of Ben and Susan Prince, who are new residents of Terrace Bay just coming to town within the last few months, from Atikokan. Shawn was in the regional games in Kirkland Lake and did well enough in those to enter the On- tario Games for the Physically Disabled in Windsor. The city of Windsor's Department of Parks and Recreation hosted the Games in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation Sports and Fitness Branch. The Games ran from July 11 - 14 and were represented from kids and adults from all over Ontario. With the help of his coach John Souliere, Shawn was in training for a month, but he does not seem to be complaining about all the hard work. He is very, very proud of his achievements and so he should be, with such an accomplishment. Shawn was entered in five events as follows: ShotPut weighing 4 Ibs. and going a distance of 6.92 meters, Javelin put- ting it 18.64 meters, 400 meters 1 min. 16 seconds, 800 meters in 3 min. 5 seconds and the 1500 in 5 min. 53 seconds. From us all congratulations Shawn and keep up the good work.
