It's mid-summer and as the tem- 'perature rises so do placements. Thanks to support in our local service area, our 1981 goal set for the Student Employment Centre is steadily becoming reality. The following report confirms this statement based on statistical records from March 1981 to the end of June. Since the office opened in March on Bay Street West we have registered 1,378 students. This number surpasses our ultimate goal of 1,281 and includes both post-secondary and high school students. Some 393 students have been placed in full time (regular) position far; while 204 students have been placed in casual jobs. Altogether 597 have found work through our centre. The increase of 35 placements over last year indicates a successful summer, and I anticipate an even greater increase by the end of the season. But remember, the summer is not over yet and there are more than 600 students still seeking work. Whatever you may need done, just give them, and us at the centre a call. -Bev Evans Supervisor Student Employment Centre, Midland. Attowndock -- by Murray Moore Improvement of the quality of the washrooms operated for the benefit of the public visiting, and boaters staying overnight at the Penetanguishene town dock, has resulted in more overnight visitors, says the dockmaster. Claude Lalonde, this year's dock- master, also says that more Americans are docking their craft overnight here, because of the better washroom and shower facilities of- fered this year. The new town building at the town dock is divided into an office for the dockmaster, an office occupied by the local Chamber of Commerce, washrooms for the public and boaters, and showers. The new washrooms and showers More boaters this summer are a great improvement from the previous facilities, the dockmaster said. The dockmaster moved into his new office at the beginning of the month. The old dockmaster's office on the centre dock is scheduled to be removed some time this week or next week, he said. The boat slips were filled Sunday night after a storm warning was issued for the local area. The town has 110'slips, 70 percent of which are rented by the season. A boat owner is charged by the meter, at a rate of $7.90 a meter. The cost of mooring a 20 foot boat for the four month season would be around $192. Weekends tend to be busy, with less activity through the week, Lalonde said. MissNudeWorld College will have to wait, Japan trip comes first Penetanguishene's newest cham- pion, Peggy McIntaggart , 20, winner of the Miss Nude World Pageant held in Winona, Ont., on Sunday will be heading to Japan early next month before attending college in the fall. The trip to Japan, one of the prizes she won by becoming Miss Nude World, will mean she'll start her college courses aweek later than scheduled in September. The new Miss Nude World served in 1978 as Miss Midland Centennial during Midland's 100th birthday celebrations. She was one of 15 contestants comp: eting Sunday in what organizers reportedly described as the Worlds Most Honest Beauty Pageant.
