Older students with summer jobs tend to view Sept. 7 more kindly and are' convinced cram- ming for exams last spring spring wasn't nearly as bad as it seemed at the time. Eighteen-year-old Bill Taylor of 228 Farewell st., has spent the last two summers working in a garage pumping gas and repairing and lubricating cars. "T like working here all right but I'm looking forward to studying -business administra- tion at Waterloo University Col- lege in September," said the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Taylor. . Jack Russell, manager of the area National Employment Ser- vice, said 510 high school and university students were placed as berry pickers, surveyors' helpers, construction laborers, clerks and factory workers. Most of the students were able to find jobs this summer after the labor market grew as sea- sonal work swung into high gear, said Mr, Russell. But all students, whether re- turning from the cottage or re- tiring from the shipping depart- MARGARET GANDY WITH TWEED JUMPER AND MRS. GARY TAYLOR ment, are thinking about new clothes for the fall and winter terms. When schools re-open in Sep- tember, Oshawa teachers will see some of the smartest and neatest dressed boys and girls to be found anywhere in Canada. A tour of Oshawa stores in the past few days has revealed that clothing designers and makers have tried to give com- fort, versatility, color and style to clothing for active school chil- dren from Kindergarten to Grade 13, Equally as carefully, the Oshawa merchants bought with but one thought in: mind, to give parents the most value for thei? clothing dollar. Most stores have ordered, and some orders have arrived, a se- lection of girls' jumpers, skirts and dresses, some with match- ing berets in Canada's own tar- ' tan, newly created this year. Known as the maple leaf tar- tan, it embodies all the flaming color of maples after the first hard frost, muted by the soft dark color o. the evergreens in the forest and for added interest has stripes-of-soft tawny browns and gold.
