and refer people to us for the job. I don't know how that relates to the experience that you say that some of these people have had at the church. We post our jobs on the bulletin board, but I think we can probably start running them on the TV, that is a free service, we can probably do that. We don't advertise those jobs in the paper, you know, we don't buy an ad as such in the paper. Now, the Civil Service job is either policeman or fireman, and you have an entrance examination, and we give that normally once a year for the Fire Department.

And, we did not get applicants. I can't explain why we didn't get applicants, but you know, you say well lets recruit, that is fine. We can recruit but we need to know where to recruit and how to approach that and come up with a some solutions. But, we have got to recruit them to take the test. In the Fire Department, if we recruit before December,
