Response generally favourable to Manpower employer survey questions or to fill out forms and send them back to the office. The percentages given below are just the yes and no figures. Occasionally, employers no commented their answers and I've left those numbers out. 89 per cent of the em- ployers found their student employees to be good workers and 10 per cent stated that they did make good em- by Sonya Mount After much pavement pounding and many phone calls our employer survey is finally finished. The staff contacted almost 100 employers to find out more information for students and the CMCS. Generally the response was favourable and we would like to thank those people who were willing to spare us the time to answer our not ployees. Only 1 per cent of the employers were not satisfied with the way we serviced their order and 98 per cent were fully satisfied. All of the em- ployers stated that if the opportunity arose they would hire a student again and they would all use the CMCS again to find their student staff. Those employers who were not pleased with this year's student would hire one again which proves that local employers are a very fair bunch and are willing to give students another chance. It would be an un- derstatement to say the CMCS staff were simply pleased with these results. These _ per- centages prove what we've been saying all summer, students make good employees and the CMCS is an excellent Manconvicted of assault Nelson J.

Defence lawyer John Gammell based his case on an argument that Walsh was not in the execution of his duty. "You were on private property and the child had already been given back."' said Gam- mell.'"'You were not considering a charge at that time, and thus proceeded almost in effect to become a social worker."' Gammell argued that a- lesser charge of common assault should be laid due to this fact, and then shed doubts on the validity of even a common assault charge by arguing "He (Buttineau) struck out and the police officer just happened to be there." L.T. Mon- tgomery' replied to Gammell's_ statement that it isn't policy for the OPP to _ investigate domestic disputes by saying, '"'When a com- plaint is made the police have a duty to in- vestigate. The officer was obligated to investigate and make a_ proper report." Montgomery concluded that constable Walsh was in fact in the execution of his duty and held up the charge of assaulting a police officer against Buttineau. Buttineau pleaded guilty to a charge of impaired driving laid Judge WASAGA during the same incident. Gammell noted that the accused "is in fact an alcoholic who has been relatively sober for 22 months."' Buttineau had been injesting antabuse before the incident and had drank a_ small quantity of alcohol. "The combination of both is similar to someone who has had a lot to drink," said Gammell. The third charge levelled against But- tineau was for dangerous driving three days after the assault incident. Buttineau. was the driver in a car going north on Champlain Rd. when he swerved out of his lane onto the south- bound shoulder, coming to a stop two or three feet behind two startled pedestrians. Norman Zwicker was pulled from the shoulder by Susan Cascagnette. "'If I hadn't pulled him it would have hit him," testified Cascagnette. Gammell pointed to Cascagnette's remark that the car was able to stop in a distance of three or four feet in concluding "the evidence doesn't really establish there was any type of alarm." Montgomery noted "'the essential element of fault ean be found" in con- victing Buttineau of dangerous driving. A charge Buttineau of driving while under suspension was { withdrawn and a weapons charge dropped. Sentencing on the three charges was remanded to September 1. BEACH OUR LAST AD !

Now for the comments that employers had to make about students and the Canada Manpower Centre for Students. The prime negative comment made and the main reason given for dissatisfaction with student employees was students lack of initiative. Dhiser is interesting because the same statement was made about youth at the Youth Employment Seminar held in May. In the same breath many of the employers stated that if Much of your own work. your school prised at the results The Canada Manpower Centres for Students' slogan "Hire a Student, It's the Opportunity of a given direction the Summertime". is more students would do an successful than excellent job. What this organizers had an- ticipated. By the end of July, the centres had placed upwards of 76,000 students in hour, week long or summer jobs. According to ministry officials, this exceeds the record set in 1974. Two new job creation programs, Youth Canada Works and the Summer Job Corps, have boosted all means is that as students you are good workers but you've got to learn that you don't always have to be told what to do. For example if you paint a fence you should know enough to clean the brushes and put everything away. Included in this initiative statement would be any statements on speed or efficiency. this comes through job experience and the ability to create You might try applying your on the job work ethic to work and practise that way. You will probably be sur- The only negative comment made about the CMCS was made in reference to the students hired. I hate to sound defensive but we only do the referring, not the hiring and as an employer you are sent the number of people you request to interview. If you are wondering Manpower slogan successful placement figures. Total placements for these two new, activities alone by the end of July was 6,500. Staff from the student manpower centres across the province have also been busy this summer, visiting more than 60,000 potential employers. With the continued support from _ their various communities, the Canada Manpower Centres for Students across Ontario are op- timistic that they will exceed their goal of 85,000 placements by September. ~+- > a what the good points areI. keep up the good work, point of reference, can best explain them by you are an asset to someone looking directly quotating the employers students and youth. after needs, our directly.
