Mr. Evans reports an e) ceptional demand for tecf nologists and techniciar as well as for Business A( ministration graduates. 1 these areas the demand hý exceeded the supply. Mr. Evans assists Durhar College students in decidin on thie career they want, ari then attempts te get corr panies à nd students togethei Ne helps st udents becoir more proficient in ierview ing techniques, and give U-em information about company prior te the inter view. He is concerned witl gettimg as many companies a "Tlîat just isn't the case', said Dicker. "B3ut we recoin- inend strongly tha t hoee owners keep a close eye on, the behavior et thit e lecti-- cal systeins. vlether they have aluinininntî wiring or any ether kind.*" île said He Iy'dro teai 's iti terini report iin(lîca tes a nene ra I pgradinig ot, aIl wi ring SVstetn5s in to- day's homnes may bc desîre- able. "Fieavy applianices such as air cotnditîier-s are cen1itn inito cornurnon iuse teday anid they cati be a strain on the e!ectitical systenii,' l)icker added. "A general inîprove- mîen t ini standards niiht be a good idea.*" The teani recommnended that any'onec cricerrîed with electrical installations w'atch fo r these warriing signs: " Iwi or discoloured plates on switchies or receptacles * untisual odeurs in the vicini ty et' ail elect rical outlet; " persistent but intermîittent flickering cf lights for ne apparent reasori. The Hydre teain itrged homeowners wlîo notice atîy cf these syniptoms te con- suit a qualified clectrician ludents Have Prospects on campus. He also believes thiat stLldents can make a better selection by considering companies iti smaller cities whicli et fer lower hotîsing cosis and transportioti costs. Often these conlipanies give greater frirîge benefits te eînployees because they pay lewer taxes. In luis placement activities Lee Evans miakes persenal vis- ist te many cornpanies - learnîîîg about tlîeir opera- tien and working conditions, and ascertaining tdie future potential they have te offer the D- 'rham graduates. He aise conducts a consistent direct mail campaign te 5cr- eral lIundred compatuies send- ing them literature on College courses and tiaining, as welI as promoting the quality of Durham graduates. Hie makes good use cf his meînbership in the Universities and Col- leges' Placement Association which is a good meeting place between 'pIacemnant officers and industry. In additioi te his place- ment duties at Durham, Lee Evans is respotîsible for Train- ing in Business and Industry programs and liaises with Canada Manp>ower. He is also responsible for counseîling and admissions in Adult Training, R.N. and R.N.A. programs, and for students awards and bursaries. four nîe(,sures: they cati in- crease property taxes, borrow more nioney, cut their speid- inig, or appeail te Ottawa for hielp.. Emuphasizing cuts in ex- penditures as a good solutioni, Mr. White saîd: "This is the mneastire that rnust be stressed iii this inflationary period .t. urge you iii the strongest ternis te cut ail but the most essential expenditures." Mr. White distributed a financial analysis showing provîincial anid municipal taxation and spcniding for 1968 and 1973. "(The documien t) shows that while the provinice luas been tighiteninig up on spend- inig and forcing school boards te tighiten uLp, soine munici- palities have beeîî greatly increasing their spendinig." lie Said. Relatig the provincial record, lie said: "We have raised taxes ali we cani. We have borrowed ininey teoie liit of prudenice. We a re doing our best to liold the line on speîidiîig. We cannot and will ot raise taxes fur- ther. "And so 1 say to ail nîun- icipalities: 'Now it's your tuirn." "Not for a moment do 1 dispute your need for more money than we provide. Not for, a second would I argue tliat you coLdni't spend that extra,, money to good advan- t age." "But the mioney is flot available. We don't have it and we se no practical, reasonable way te, get it'for YO LI. Mr. White said tie federal governiment is ini a better position than the provinice is to help the municipalities sitîce Ottawa enjoyed revenue increases of I17 per cent last year and more tlian 20 per cent tliis year. -The Minister of' Finance may tell yeu lhe woni't p)ro- vide any extra mene11y, bu t doni' t]e t Ih mi tell yen lie Whatever The Job..
