Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Auus2193- ¶,n TÙuCl"wxithiDUhfm "In Touch1 with you The Canadian summer, unfortunately, is not of a long duration. In fact it is bard to believe that in a matter of weeks the kids will be dragging their heels back into the classroom for another year of schol'astîc enrichment. There is no natural explanation as to why summer-days fly by, despite the longer sunlight hours. It is just another curious natural phenomenon. > But what is summer w ithout the smell of a wet tent, a damp, sleeping bag, the kinks that come froni sleeping on the ground, and gooey, toasty marshmallows. Aaaah, yes. Camping! Camping, like the IGA, is a great Canadian tradition. And, with the recession that has hit everyone s pocketbook with a fair whap, this summer pasttime is 'making a huge comneback. There can hardly be a vacation as easy and relaxing as camping. I'reparation for the trip is minimal. No reservations, unless you anticipate you-,will be spending your time at Ontanio's, most popular spots. You can't be bumped from a flight. No delays, except in traffic. AlI you need is your tent, your sleeping bag, matches, hot dogs,- marshmallows, and Muskol. There is no need to lug a suitcase, and no need to agonize over which appliance to leave at home. Unlike a hotel room, you can choose your carnpsite carefully to fit your needs. Near the lake? Near the outhouse? The choices and decisions ar e yours to make. You1 may even be lucky enough to make a custom fit. As dusk falîs, it comnes time to put up the tent. Inevitably, after the tent is up you will find that no matter which way you lie, you are lying with a lump right in the small of your back or perched on the top of a slight incline. Darkness comes over the sky, slowly blanking out the glorious reds of the sunset. The boon caîls out for the last time before retre ating for the ni ght. Now it is time for the entertainment. Some people sing campfire songs. Somne people. tell stories. Others (unintentionally) lean back to far on the log that they have chosen for a secat, and to the great delight of others, topple over backwards. Marshmallows are burnt black an-' -iushy on the stick that was 50 painstakingly chosenh earier in the day. The out-of-doors, fresh summer air soon makes you tired and you hit the sack... and. the lump. Before you know it, morning has come again. Make your plans for the day. Then go and sit in the lake for hours, at 90 degree heat until thoroughly cooked. Life doesn't get much better than a weekend getaway in the woods. Neyer a phone to bother you, no traffic, no deadlines. Just you, and the Canadian Wilderness. What summenr is ahl about!

(Jntended for last week) YOUTH EMPLOYMENT We cannot continue to sit by and watch a whole generation give up hope and belief in a system which has served us and our forebears 50 well. I am a father of three children under the age of twenty-one, and 1 have a great concemn for what is viewed by this current generation 'as a hopeless environent; where dreams and goals, remain unfulfilled; where hope in attaining worthwhile careers and challenges in the future is dim. 17.8% of Young people agcd 15 to 24 are unemployed, even though they are actively looking for work. When they do find employment, often they can only obtain part-time work with little prospect of advancing. 1 pose to you this question, "How can we conscientiously proceed on this course?", 1In addition to the creation of new employment by assisting small business, for which 1 have written'other articles, the.Liberal Party also has the following alternatives: -Formation of a national (Continued page 10) TENDER> SEALED TENDERS, for the contracts specified below, submitted to the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, Office of the Clerk, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Ontario, LiC 3A6, are invited and MiI be received by the Clerk unltil the specified closing time and date.
