One hundred young people apply for eight jobs Huronia Youth Employment The 100 applications for a job received by Huronia Youth Employment for one of the eight jobs available through the government- sponsored. volunteer, non-profit company, are now being examined. Twenty applicants will be in- terviewed, general manager Fred Reed says. The eight applicants who are ac- cepted will start their job training in the manufacture of grab bars, or safety bars, in the Heritage Industrial Mal], William Street, Midland, in two weeks. The premise of the company is that something needed to be done for the large number of young men and women in this area between age 18 and 24 who are unemployed. In its application for a LEAP grant, Huronia Youth Development reported that while the number of all the area unemployed increased 35 per cent in six months, the number of young people unemployed in the same period increased by 65 per cent. Up to $325,000 over three years is available to Huronia Youth Employment, general manager Reed said. The aim for the limited company is for it to become self-sustaining as soon as possible, he said. Reed will be joined in the future by another administrative employee. The eight young workers will receive for their labour, after training, a comparable wage for this area for their type of work, he said. The employees of Huronia Youth Employment will be between the age of 18 and 24 and either unemployed or intermittently unemployed for periods of up to one year. HYE will "sive an opportunity (to young people to learn skills) that seems to be missing in today's economy," Reed said. The grab bars or safety bars to be produced are found in public washrooms, hospitals, and nursing homes. John Gow is the president of the HYE board. The directors are Chuck Dusome, Don Ealey, Joyce Hamelin and Carolyn Ostrowski. Airport saga continues It was made abun- dantly clear following Monday night's Huronia Airport Commission meeting that contrary to widespread belief, Huronia Airport has not varied in service offered to Huronia area residents. That was the message contained in a news release read over the telephone' to _ this newspaper _ yesterday morning. And although efforts failed yesterday to contact Bob Sullivan, chairman of the com- mission, two other members' confirmed that Art Harland's resignation as operator at the airport had been received and accepted. In a related matter, it was agreed to permit R. D. N. Flight Program Inc. to operate out of the airport until a final decision is reached on who should be the new operator.

Midland 526-6551 We're glad you asked! Jim Lynn funeral Director WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A GRIEVING WIDOW? Because it is so difficult to know how a grieving person really feels, we advise that you not say: "'I know how you must feel.'* It is not necessary to force a conversation, nor to extoll the virtues of the deceased to the grieving family. Silent expressions of emotion and compassion (like a firm gripping of the hand) and a simple, 'I'm sorry," are frequently more eloquent than talkative attempts at eulogies. Listening and just "being there' shows that you care. Your presence is an indication of your desire to be sympathetic and comforting. Above all, don't try to jolt a grieving widow out of her grief. Time will do it for her gradually. She must first accept the loss, than begin to live with it and pass through several emotional stages before the natural healing effects of time take hold. We welcome your questions and comments on this and other subjects-privately or publicly, James H. Lynn Funeral Homes Elmvale 322-2732 MIDLAND SEWING CENTRE'S Great Florida Countdown SEWING SALE!
