As yet a hearing date has not been finalized. And the on-going saga of more stop signs for the intersection of Fourth Street and Dominion Avenue 'has been again laid to rest. The. town has again received a petition from residents in that area of town requesting 4-Way stops. ® However, their request has been denied after the commissioner of works and the town's technician reviewed the matter with the public works com- mittee. : It was strongly suggested by both municipal of- ficials that the town retain its present arrangement of a two-way stop on Dominion only. Accidents - Speeding-up and down Fourth Street at that location and a number of serious accidents of later have prompted ratepayers in that area on a number of occasions to press for four-way stops there. Municipal officials have opted time and again for two-way stops there calling attention to the dif- ficulty snow-plows would have in the winter if they "were required to come to a stop while heading east on Fourth at Dominion, gear down and commence plowing again without a good head of steam to push the heavy snow. a by Murray Moore stands by an earlier dl A report scheduled to report's recommend- be delivered Monday in ations on abortion. Halifax at the 28th General Council of the Midland United United Church of (Church minister Kay Canada essentially Rice says the 112 page The church takes the position that abortion should be an individual decision, and not governed by church doctrine, she said. The report does not report concerns itself with Human Sexuality, and that it takes the position that human sexuality .cannot be ignored, and should be studied. Job centre by Murray Moore r x og Any person who is apt to observe that kids these days don't want to work anymore should talk to one of the local and area employers who have hired one or more students this summer. : Midland's Student. Employment Centre super- visor Carol Dengis reports few complaints from employers. None of the employers contacted by telephone by this newspaper had complaints. : Only 20 of the approximately 400 students age 18 : or over who registered for work with the centre are without work. Employers hire the older students early in the summer season explained Dengis. Nearly 600 students have been place in full-term jobs, full-term meaning a job lasting more than a week. Many of these jobs last for the summer, Dengis Says. As of mid-week 225 students had been placed in casual jobs, four days or less of work. The employment office formally closes Sept. 2. Last year full-term jobs were found for 650 students, and casual jobs for 260 students, Job-seekers Some of the younger job-seekers are given advice by the centre staff. "A lot of young kids don't know how to work. They don't know that they should arrive at work five minutes early, or that they shouldn't take extended breaks. We tell them how to act, and how to dress, because they just don't-. "know about that. "T've told,' Dengis added, 'the odd kid to get his hair cut. Let's face it, the employer won't tell him, he'll just turn him away." . "By age 17 or 18 they know what's expected of them by employers."' Many of the employers who use the student manpower office hire only one student. But some 'wins praise employers need, more. Zita Pauze estimates around 50 students have picked strawberries, raspberries, beans and peas on her farm near Perkinsfield. Whenever she needed a crew she placed an order in the morning and picked up the students in the afternoon. The centre is the only source of labour for her, she says. Teenagers in her rural area seem to have enough work of their own to do, she says, adding, "We're going to hire through the centre again next 'year, that's for sure." Students Gordon Walker, of Walker's Electric, echoed the comments of other employers contacted. He is "very pleased"' with the two students hired for the summer, one to act as a groundskeeper, another to work in the shop. Hotel Brule manager Ken Davidson says he has hired seven or eight students the last two summers as waiters and waitresses, and that some have come back the second year. . The centre will fill, if possible, jobs outside of the immediate Midland-Penetanguishene area. It has supplied 25 students with summer jobs at the Georgian Bay Island National Park, and another 25 students with jobs with lodges near Honey Harbour. The difficulty for the centre staff has been filling vacancies near Elmvale, Coldwater and Port Severn. Most of the job-seekers are in Midland and Penetang, and travelling to these jobs would be expensive, Dengis noted. Full value One area resident is getting full value from the * centre. Although a student, he also happens to own a farm. He has hired a student to do his haying while he goes out on better-paying assignments like capping driveways and painting. | $15increase for driver's ed. course courses at PSS, at a $75 per pupil fee.

The California Cuties were in Elmvale to play their own style of ball, one that combined fun with skill to produce entertainment galore for all who watched. According to organizers of the event, over 600 local fans took in the show, which began with two serious. innings of ball between the Elmvale Sporting Goods Angels and the Cuties, followed by two innings of the same type from . the - Elmvale Senior Men's team. The calibre of ball played was impressive and according to Angels coach John Brown, the girls felt the mateh was a real experience. } UC abortion recommendations affirmed in new report support abortion on demand. Prior to that stage of foetal development where abortion can no longer be performed by D and C section, it says, abortion should be a personal matter bet- ween a woman and her doctor. After that, abortion should be favoured only following consultation with a second doctor. Report The report calls on the Canadian government to remove from the Criminal Code ll sections now relating to abortion where they relate to the termination of pregnancy within the first 20 weeks. It also labels as "unjust in principle and unworkable in practice"' the present law which requires a_ hospital therapeutic abortion committee to authorize an abortion. The report advocates a massive contraception program. It calls on United Church mem- bers to urge the provincial and local governments to make use of available funds tc establish family planning clinics in 'hospitals and public health units, and to sup- port the efforts of public or voluntary agencies to develop or expand such facilities. uffy in action Buffy Saint-Marie delighted the folks at Maple Valley near Lafontaine, Saturday afternoon, during a concert to raise money for a pow-wow'to be staged later this year on Christian Island.
