Gary Herrema Regional Chairman C.W. Lundy, A.M.C.T. Regional Clerk taken off the road, said Mr. Hughes. Trucks were on patrol from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year, added Mr. Hughes. Ironically, Mr. Hughes said the staffing and service requirements that for- ced them to ask for a 48 percent increase this year, were requested of them by the PAW com- mittee in 1982. Further, Mr. Hughes charged that the PAW budget probably doesn't reflect the full cost of the present service and suggested that some costs, such as ad- ministrative and vehicle maintenance expenses may be hidden in other departmental budgets. However, according to town clerk Don McKay, the only thing that does not show up in the budget is the time he has spent preparing it and because he is on a town salary his time has not been considered as an actual expense. Mr. McKay said he has spent a considerable amount of time in the last month working on the first PAW budget but he expected his duties to taper off now that the budget is com- pleted. In the future, the budget will be prepared by the shelter manager. Despite Mr. Hughes claim that the society filed an 18 page monthly report documenting the daily rounds of all em- ployees, Mr. Batten said the PAW committee has never had a clear ac- counting of what they were getting for their money when they con- tracted the service from the society. Now, he said, the town will know exactly how its money is being spent. "We've never been satisfied that Mr. Hughes had a handle on animal control. The Humane Society robs Peter to pay Paul all the time. We've talked to other municipalities that have pulled out of their contracts with the society and they are all providing a top notch service for less money. It's just a matter of proper management. "This year will be the test. Maybe we will have to increase service and expenses but I guarantee you that when the year is over we won't regret the move and we'll have a clear handle on what we're doing," said Mr. Batten. FROM PG. 18 Seniors' ed* provided, and I don't think we should take it away." Chairman - Ruth Lafarga said a number of seniors take, a dif- ferent course every day and a potential charge of $25 might be too much. For some a fee of $5 might be a hardship shesaid. Although the amen- dment was narrowly defeated with Whitby trustees John Buchanan and Judi Oldman again- st while Pat Bowman and Ian Brown suppor- ted a maximum charge of $5, the motion to charge for each course was easily defeated. All Whitby trustees voted against the motion. -FROM PC. 2 Speaking to You By SCOTT FENNELL, MP (PC - Ontario) Students who are planning to seek career-oriented summer employment or re-employment with the Government of Canada should be advised that the application deadline for such employment is February 28. Please note that this application will not register you for clerical, secretarial or general labour jobs with the federal government. If you are interested in those types of jobs, in a job with the private sector or in Challenge '86, an option of the Canadian Jobs Strategy's Job Entry program, you can register with the local Canada Employment Centre. To be eligible for a career-oriented summer job with the federal government, you must be registered full-time at a university, community college, CEGEP, or technical institute and you must be planning to return to school in the fall of 1986. Preference will be given to Canadian citizens. There are two streams of jobs av'ailable. The general career-oriented stream employs students in several disciplines including the physical, biological and social sciences, architecture, ac- counting, economics, library science and' law. Students are employed in a variety of departments. Some examples are field or laboratory work such as crop research, surveying or water testing. The Geological Survey of Canada stream (Earth Sciences Sector), Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, employs earth science students to work at vqrious locations across Canada, including remote locations. Preference is given to students specializing in geology, geophysics, geochemistry and physical geography. If you are interested ina career-oriented summer job, please do not delay completing and sending your application form. I would also invite you to forward a copy of your application along with a current resurne to my constituency office at 52 Church St. S., in Pickering, L1V 2H5. If you are qualified, your application will be placed in a central inventory for the province, and preference will be given to studentswho live or study in the area. Students from anywhere in Canada are eligible for jobs in the National Capital Region. Should you be unable to obtain an application form from a Canada Employment Centre, copies are available at my constituency office. Home delivery petition home service like everyone else. I think the post office has taken a giant step backwar- ds," said Mrs. Knaap. Following the meeting with postal officials Jan. 31, Ontario MP Scott Fennell suggested that the couple start a petition which he promised to take to Ot- tawa. Since then, the Knaaps and other con- cerned residents have been canvassing the town's newer sub- divisions for signatures and they have also been maintaining an evening vigil at the Post Office where residents without home delivery are currently picking up. their mail. One evening this week, the Knaaps collected 250 signatures in two hours at the post office. Copies of the petition can also be found at the Pringle Creek IGA and Video Tonite stores, at the Library and in the Clerk's Office at the Town Hall. The Knaaps have set the cut-off date for this coming Monday so that they can get the petition in to Mr. Fennell's office" as soon as possible." They hope to have more than 1,000 signatures by then and anyone wishing to add their name to the petition can call the couple at 668- 6558. "This is something that people who are get- ting home delivery should be concerned about too," said Mr. Knaap. "Something like 46 percent of the country goes without delivery now and if that percen- tage were to reach 70 percent I can see Canada Post, in its.in- finite wisdom, eliminating it all together." . .
