Reader's Viewpoint Rental arrangement poorly organized Dear Sir: I feel it is timé it was brought to the attention of the. people of Port Perry what I see as an example of "poor organization and impro- per management of town affairs. rou Several times in the past year the musical group to which I belong has attempt- ed to organize a dance for teenagers at the Latcham 'Centre. Each time we have had difficulty securing the date originally offered to us. The last time this happened we were told we could not have the date we signed for because it had been given to a man from out-of-town, who would be presenting a film that night instead. As a result, our dance was moved ahead one week resulting in difficulties in-dance arrange- ments for ourselves. We discovered, to our amazement, that not one, but two men have the job of assigning what dates can be .used at the Latcham Centre. In our case, the problem arose because we had signed for the date with one person -and the film had been signed through the other. Natur- ally, when the problem was detected, precedence was given to the out-of-town film manager, not to a group of teenagers. Surely some arrangements could be made whereby one man has the sole responsibility or . they could check to see if the books coincide' frequently. It was also my understand- ing that when. the Latcham Centre was constructed one of its main purposes was to provide a place where enter- more 'Citizens tainment could be held for teenagers in the community. To our dismay, we have been informed that we cannot hold dances at the Centre. during July and August because it has been rented to the Senior during 'these months, Surely some'better arrangements could have been made whereby dances could be held at least once a month. It would seem to me that the purpose of the Lat- cham Centre has been "defeated and the teenagers of the community are once again left out in the cold. Dennis Watson, 65 Allan St. 985-3134. 5 (Blackstock Group) Job market for students tight Dear Editor: , As the temperature rise in the Durham Region, so does the pressure on stud- ents to find elusive summer jobs. There is no doubt about it says the Canada Manpower, Centre for Students' Co- ordinator, Colleen-Hare, the job market is tight this summer. But she adds on a more optimistic note the jobs are there to be found, if the students are persistent enough. To "support her statement she indicated the increased number of vacan- cies listed and placements made, this year to date over last year. As of May, 1976, the Oshawa office made 136 placements, in comparison with 113 for May, 1975. We cash prizes. each' "sassscoen 100 bonus prizes of $10,0 Regular five-digit Wintario ticket ~~ For five chances at $100,000. and more than 40,000 other tax-free June 24,1976 For the June 24 Wintario draw, your Wintario ticket has two sets of numbers--one for the regular Wintario draw, for between $3 to $4 million in prizes.

Of course, even though we are fairly satisfied with the progress we are making in the office, we would like to see a lot more job orders come in. The Hire-A-Student Week (June 7-13) activities are aimed specifically at achiev- ing these ends. We hope to tap some of the employment areas not yet fully exploited, primarily to benefit the largely inexperienced job seeking secondary students. Through such promotional things as Poster Contests in all the area high schools, homeowner phone blitzes, a 'Win a Student to Work for a Day' raffle, Hire-a-Student flyers included in local news-. papers, and friendly grocery cashiers sporting Hire-a- Student buttons, the Student Office hopes to promote the idea of casual jobs to employers, primarily home- owners. We have kids who can do just about anything you can think of around the home - from the usual grass- cutting and hedge trimming, to the more unusual - pet sitting perhaps, or providing a replacement for over- worked Dad on Father's Day. The list is as endless as the number of kids out look- ing for work. Another area that war- rants some special attention according to Colleen; are female students. The statis- tics show we have placed a greater number of male students than female, but she adds that no one can say this is a case of discrimin- ation since this is an all female office, and we have made a concerted attempt to interest females in trying out for traditionally male jobs. It is simply a case in which the job vacancies seem more suitable or appealing to males. The Student Office is try- ing to reverse this trend by encouraging employers to make jobs more suitable to women and countering any bias they may have towards women for certain jobs. We' are also hoping to mobilize the sizable pool of largely female clerical workers we have on file. Letters to offices, or small ads in the local newspapers advertis- ing their particular skills are two of the many ways plan- ned to initiate this. We know we can help the small bus- inessman who is two finger typing while the secretary is _ away on holidays. We hope he is reading this-article now, and will call us at this number, 723-2211. So as Hire-A-Student Week dwindles : with the Heat Wave, and the posters come down and the buttons come off, the enthusiasm and spirit of the Student Officer keeps going. For us the summer: has hardly begun, says Colleen, and we have our Work cut out for us - finding You jobs!! We're doing our best. Well, Colleen says, I really have to go - I'm visiting an employer this morning and I'm hoping, just hoping..... Sincerely, Colleen M. Hare, Student Co-ordinator.
