6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 28. 1978 Section Two Salem Girls Win Darlington Softball Championship The Salem School girls softball team won the Girls Softball Championship of the Darlington Public School Softball League recently. They played against such teams as Mitchell's Corners, Maple Grove, Courtice, and Hampton. The team members are (front row) Tracey Quilliams, Barb Burgess, Joanne Carruthers, Kerry Johnston (captain), Vicki Biss, Elaine Smith, Kerri Kilmer, (back row) Anne Harmer, Pam King, Bonnie Beck, Laurie Potter, Deb Kozak, Deanna Crowells and Mrs. Darlene Clemens (coach). Manpower Office Here Has Made 40 Placements The Canada Sudent Manpower Office in Bowman- ville has been open less than one month and has made 40 placements as of June 20th. Combined with the Oshawa office, 450 students have found summer jobs. For the week of June 26th to July 1st, Manpower is running 'Hire a Student Week'. Information kiosks will be set up at the Midtown Mall on the Monday and Tuesday at Bowmanville Mall on the Wednesday and Thursday and at the Oshawa Centre on the Friday and Saturday. Dave Sylvester of the Bow- iuanville office reports that the job market, so far, has been particularly good for older male students. They have had very little trouble finding older high school and university students jobs in unskilled labor category. For the older girl students, the situation is almost asgood. Dave said it seems they are having the most trouble finding work for the younger girl students. Jobs for waitresses, babysitters and mother's helpers have not been coming available as much as they have in the past. Dave pointed out that they will be shooting for the younger girls in particular during Hire a Student Week. Dave said that they presently have 60 vacancies in commission sales jobs. It seems students are apprehen- sive about taking jobs that put the onus on them to make money. But, as Dave pointed out, if one is enthusiastic about the job, the sky is the limit as to how much money they can make. Some of these sales jobs already have established clients and appointments already set up. The Bowmanville office bas about 350 to 400 students registered for summer employment. That figure is expected to increase and to 'surpass the one of last year. Dave said that the longer one has his registration card at their office, the better chance he has of getting a job. Oppose Recent Increases Five more municipalities inciluding the Town of Newcastle have joined the list of towns and townships that are opposing the recent increases in salaries for six key officials with the North- umberland Newcastle Board of Education. At the board's regular meeting in Cobourg last week, the townships of Brighton, Alnwick, Murray, Percy and the Town of Newcastle informed the board that they had backed a Port Hope resolution which called for a lowering of salaries to the education officials. All municipalities indicated their position by letters in the board's agenda. The Town of Port Hope first went on record as opposng the raises to six senior Northum- berland Newcastle officials at a meeting in mid-May. All six administrators were making over $40,000, according to action taken by the board. Port Hope requested that More $$$ Saving Values from Carpet Warehousel ARTIFICIAL GRASS $3.99 from SQ. YD.

The board voted to send a copy to the townships and to Newcastle similar to letters that were recently sent to Port Hope and Hope Township. The board's letter will note that the increases for top administrators here are no higher than what is being paid to similar officials across the province. One trustee said during discussion in Cobourg last week that the nearby boards of Durham, Hastings and Peterborough pay their senior staff more than what was recently given to the North- umberland Newcastle staff. 49 Years Ago Thursday, June 27th, 1929 The entire town was shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Norman Stuart Bray James, on Thursday, June 20th.
