Keep Canada Beautiful by Laurie Townsend Five friendly, caring Durham-area homes arc needed for guests who can bring a bit of Europe to their hosts. The American-Scandina- vian Student Exchange (ASSE) is a 50-year old program program which has grown to include include Canada and most of Europe. A new office in Montreal oversees the arrangements arrangements for 80 students visiting Canada and 80 Canadian students visiting other countries. Twenty- five of the Canadian visitors come to the Toronto area, and five of them may come to Durham. • Don Alton is the local ASSE rep, and is working hard to find local host families. He says there must be one local host family and visitor to match each local student heading overseas. Any European student visiting on this exchange program speaks English, and will have studied it in school for at least seven years. Members ofmosthost families have picked up some of the guests' native language. The students have been carefully screened for the program, and have been interviewed interviewed for their high academic standing, good character and ability to get along with people of all ages. They are of ages 16 to 18. The host families should give three letters of reference reference (including one from an employer and one from a church, synagogue or community community group) and are in- terviwed to find out about their lifestyles. Organizers want this thorough screening screening on both sides so they can be sure of successful matches. Visiting students will supply their own air fare, spending money and medical medical insurance. Host families are asked to provide room and board and laundry care. Students hope to be treated as members of the family, joining in family outings as well as housework. housework. Most students stay for the school year, although arrangements arrangements could be made to participate for part of the next summer holiday. Ifyou're interested in getting getting your family involved in ASSE, Don Alton can be reached at 728-4694 (Oshawa). it's Safe to Look at Microwave One should not be frightened to watch food cooking through the door of the microwave oven. The light will appear diffused because of the metal screen in the door. Microwave energy is prevented from escaping by the screen. The microwaves are reflected off of the metal screen back into the oven cavity. By watching while you cook, you can tell if the food is about to boil over or is overcooking in one area. Microwave activity can be stopped immediately by opening the oven door by pushing the stop button. This has the same effect as removing a pan from the element of the range. WESLEYVILLENEWS The soil and those who work with it, welcomed Saturday night's rain but it dampened enthusiasm for out door church services, so Hope Township charge of the United church held its service in Canton church instead of at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reg McCool as planned. It was not raining but everything out of doors was wet. Rev. Gordon Rutherford and guest Rev. Ivan Dambrowitz, Presbyterian Presbyterian minister from London, Ont. were in charge. Rev. Dambrowitz and his wife Cecelia and two sons were introduced by Jackson Peacock who has known them since the days when Ivan was on the staff of the school in Kapuskasing of which Jack- son was principal. One of a family of ten he had experience experience in different occupations before becoming a minister. With two brothers in the United church, some of the ten in the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, his family is really ecumenical. Special music was provided by Canton choir singing, "Saviour lead me day by day" and a solo by guest Rosemary Maugham, niece of Elwyn and June Dundas, "He". Organist was Mrs. Grace Marsh. Rev. Dambrowitz's message for the children used the peanut as illustration of great power in unexpected places. Besides peanut butter, there are over 200 uses or products from this small object and its potential power was shown as it burned. So do humans have potential power for production or accomplishing accomplishing worthwhile things all through life. His sermon told of the power of a small church that is a community, community, to give courage and strength to faltering and discouraged discouraged people, or even to start a larger group, with unmeasured influence for good. The blessing was pronounced pronounced alternately by both ministers. Coffee and fruit bread were enjoyed following the service. Next Sunday's service and the last one outdoors outdoors planned for 1984, will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Baker. The Dambrowitz Dambrowitz family were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Peacock. Sunday was a day of many activities. Local members of the East Durham Historical Society were custodians at Dorothy's House and shared in the delicious refreshments from the birthday party next door. Some attended the house tour of "Hill and Dale" in Port Hope, one at least being Rodney Payne, authority on many objects of art. The tour was sponsored by the local branch of the Conservancy and the afternoon ended with a barbecue at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. W. Sculthorpe, Port Britain.

The occasion there was the hanging of a plaque in the Arena to honour the first four settlers of Hamilton Township. Present were the Trail Riders, a group of horsemen horsemen and women riding old trails across Ontario and collecting collecting names of descendants of U.E.L.s which these families families were.

Liberals Hold Super Bar B Q by Laurie Townsend The organizers of the Durham-Northumberland Liberal Association's annual annual barbecue tried to find something to please everyone there, and they just might have succeeded. The barbecue was held at the Ransberry farm, and local Liberal candidate Darce Campbell made his way through the crowd to greet everyone personally. The Honorable David Smith, Minister for Tourism and Small Business also made an appearance. Two pipers played the music for the first part of the evening, and the popular popular rock group Thunder Road took over later.,, What had appeared to be tons of food seemed dwarfed by the long dinner line up, but there was more than enough for everyone.,, The children who might not have been interested in the group or the candidates, were kept busy with horse cart rides.
