This enables me to gain credits towards a Secondary School Graduation Diploma and experience experience by being out in the business world. My experience experience at the Orono Times will include reporting, writing, proof reading, camera and make-ups of the newspaper as well as design of advertisements advertisements and other related work. Students can work in business's business's such as restaurants, garages, beauty shops, hospitals, hospitals, newspapers, drycleaning stores and in plumbing services. services. A minimum of two hundred and twenty hours must be spent on the programme programme for one credit and a maximum of nine credits can be obtained through this scheme. The objective of the programme is to provide students with on-the-job training training related to their career plans and to achieve greater community interest and involvement involvement in education. It is also aimed at helping the students have a meaningful reference when applying for a permanent job. Fourteen students from Cla rke High School are involved in the programme this year. Three years ago a work study programme was established at Clarke for the students to earn money, but still attend school. The co-operative work study programme for credits was started this year, Clarke High School being the first in this area to institute the plan. Paul Quinney of Newcastle, and myself are the two involved in the work study programme for credits this year. Mr. J. Sylvestervich, vice-principal of Clarke High School, stated that Clarke is the only school in this area to offer the programme. Career opportunities are available in Business and Commerce, Applied Arts, Occupational Occupational Subjects and Technical Technical Subjects. Students are responsible for their own transportation or they can use the existing bus services provided by the Northumberland and Newcastle Newcastle Board of Education. The students are also responsible responsible for their appearance and conduct. If the employer is not satisfied with either of these, he can send the student back to school. The employer's and the schools evaluation of the students performance in the year will determine the issuance issuance of a credit. As part of the programme the students are required to submit a weekly activity report, an experience report and at the end of the year a day to day diary of the year activities to the school. Both parties in this programme programme benefit - the student by gaining experience and the employer by gaining the assistance to run his business.

Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 15th, 1975 Orono disposa I area not suited for dump The old Orono disposal area, north of the Taunton road and west of the Village was in the news last week when the regional Works Department termed the site surplus land as far as the region was concerned. The works committee en- doresed a recommendation to make lands available that are no longer required for regional regional purposes. Such lands would first be made available to the municipalities in which - they are located before being offered to the general public. Mr. R. Richardson, the Works Commissioner, told the committee that the region often has land which is no longer needed by the région and often the municipalities could make use of such surplus land. The committee was also informed that the public interest could best be served by offering the land to the municiplaity before the general general public. Orono Disposal Area The former Orono disposal area has been termed surplus land as far as the region is concerned. This site, which was used as the Village dump, has now been termed unsuitable unsuitable as a site for a disposal area. Environmental Consultants Consultants James F. MacLean Ltd. of Willowdale reported there was no potential use for the site. They felt the site was too close to the Wilmot Creek and that the granular nature of the soil would create a leakage migration problem from the dump site into the creek, Mr. Richardson said the land had been valued at $7,500.00 and suggested that the Town of Newcastle should pay this amount for the land if they were to obtain it. Mayor Rickard pointed out that the only use the Town could make of the land was to plant trees on it. He felt thasf land should be turned over at a nominal charge. The region obtained the land when the region was formed under the specific provincial act. All such disposal disposal areas became the property property of the region as of January 1st, 1974.

OSHAWA AIRPORT TO REMAIN AT PRESENT SITE A surprise move was made recently by the executive committee of the City of Oshawa when it asked that the existing Oshawa Airport remain where it now exists. Over the past two councils a move has been underfoot to move the airport with support from area residents. The opinion of the city was made known to the Region's Planning and Development committee last week. It also appears that the Federal government was only interested in spending $250*000 on the relocation of the airport and that monies from the sale of the present site could not be used for this purpose. Numerous industries in the Oshawa area have recently outlined the necessity of the airport to their operations and this could have had considerable to do regarding the decision of the executive committee.
