York Controller Wes Boddingâ€" ton told Metro last week that he wanted to see the province extend Highway 400 south to Eglinton Ave. The controller told Metro Transportation Committee that it will be up to Metro to determine the route for the southerly 400 extension south of Eglinton Ave. Metro has agreed that it is reâ€" sponsible for construction of the six lane roadway south of Eglinâ€" ton Ave. Metro Roads and Traffic Comâ€" missioner Sam Cass told the comâ€" mittee and Mr. Boddington that Metro has not yet prepared the design for the roadway south of Eglinton Ave. Land for the southâ€" erly .extension to Eglinton was acquired by the province in 1953. York Council is anxious to see construction start on the 400 southerly as a means of relieving the traffic congestion on the netâ€" work of local borough streets. Mr. Cass said, however, its all a question of money. Metro Chairman William Allen said the Spadina expressway conâ€" struction south from Lawrence Ave. is taking up a lof of Metro funds. He questioned the wisdom of splitting Metro‘s expressway funds between two big road proâ€" jects. "We should get one of these two roads down to Bloor St. Mr. Boddington was satisfied that York‘s request to have Metro proceed immediately with conâ€" struction of the southerly Highâ€" way 400 extension should be conâ€" sidered by the Metro Planning Board. "We should determine the need for the extension," he sugâ€" gested. The engagement is announced of â€" Miss _ Sharon â€" Carmichael, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

MAITLAND EQUIPMENT WESTON â€" 247â€"5443 21 Elrose Ave The Canada Manpower Centre on Weston Rd. serving some 6,600° big and small industries and businesses throughout the northâ€"west area of Greater Metro is having a difficult time this year finding summer jobs for students. George Warby, supervisor for the branch‘s internal operations, believes that there are a number of reasons for this trend, among them a general belt tightening among industrial and government employers, _ inclement â€" weather, students _ returning . to â€" places where they worked last summer, and, for some unexplanable reaâ€" son, the current election. Several : thousand high school and university students are alâ€" ready registered with the office and some have surprisingly good qualifications, Mr. Warby said. Of this number, only eight p.c. have been placed in jobs so far and the prospects of finding emâ€" ployment for more than 20 or 30 p.c. are dim at the moment. He recalled that during the summer of 1966 â€" a boom year for student placements â€" jobs were found for 75 p.c. of the young applicants. But dedicated men and women at the York office (1736 Weston He â€"r summer for stuc were fo young a But d at the 0 Students need job employers told CANADA MANPOWER CENTRES are preparing to give ’.ssistance to studâ€" ents seeking summer work.

For one thing, with the assist ance of head office in Toronto, a radio, television and newspaper campaign has been launched to inform employers about all the high calibre talent that is availâ€" able. For another, the CMC branch has the full support from Etobiâ€" coke Mayor Edward Horton and York borough Mayor Jack Mould who are both making appeals to large and small employers to take a hard look at the role they may play by fully supporting CMC‘s student summer employâ€" ment campaign~ Said Mayor Horton: "I have alâ€" ready talked to many people in industry in Etobicoke and apâ€" praised them of the good sense of preparing these young people to take their place as valuable members of the community." Making a similar endorsement, Mayor Mould commented: ‘"This municipality has endorsed this student placement for many years and has found these young people worthy of being hired."
