10 air force base employees
lament after jobs reclassified

made at a Goose Bay, N.L., Cana-

director of nursing, that she had insufficient funds
to continue her schooling and she wished to re-
turn to Rocmaura.
A meeting was held on Oct. 26, but many "men-
tal-health issues" were brought up by Dezainde,
