With the new Katimivak program, the golden opportunities of travel, work, and socializing socializing are more than fun, they're a learning experience. experience. The federally sponsored project invites Canadian people between the ages of 17 and 21 to visit various provinces in the country with the company of others who share the same interests. interests. Presently there are over 200 Katimavik groups across Canada each consisting consisting of 12 youths from various various provinces. "Our group includes four kids from Quebec, four from Ontario, two from the Prairies, one from B.C., and one from the Maritimes," explained Oshawa's Katimavik Co-ordinator, Deidre Hilary. Participants in this area's program live in a large subsidized subsidized house located on Centre Street in Oshawa where they all share in the cooking and cleaning chores. "Their cost of living is paid for by the federal government," government," said Deidre. "All they are required to do is cook and clean." Miss Hilary went on to say that in order to earn their keep, the kids are expected to do community work for approximately 40 hours a week, usually for the Department Department of Parks and Recreation, Recreation, for which they are each given $1 per day. At the end of three months, all Katimavik groups rotate to different locations, spending time in at least three provinces for a total of nine months. The group currently in Oshawa began their excursion July 25th, 1984, and will head for home April 24th, 1985. Most youths enjoy the program because it allows them to see a bit ofthe country, country, experience what it is like to live in a group, and it teaches them to make their own decisions and deal with any hardships they may encounter. Around the House Something To 4 Think About ROBERT WILLIAMS DIRECTOR- A CHILD Often, children attend the funeral of a loved one without any obvious demonstration of emotion. The child stands there stiffly, dry-eyed. The child is probably neither being brave or unfeeling; rather, the child is probably too stunned or uncomprehending to fully express his or her feelings. Sometimes, the child gets a subtle, or not so subtle message message from adults to keep a lid on emotions. Psychologists generally agree that this is wrong, that il is unhealthy lor the child to bottle up griet. The youngster who stoically represses represses his or her feelings may later find a release in an explo- 'S TEARS sion more dangerous to psychological well-being. Adults are advised by psychologists not to fear the allowing allowing or even causing of tears. There is no reason to steer conversation away from the deceased for fear of starting starting the tears to flow. Expressing Expressing grief through crying is both normal and therapeutic. A child's tears are a fitting and tender tribute that should not be stifled.

President Annabelle Rickard opened the meeting with a favorite poem, "Take Time to Work." Our guests were Mrs. Gwen Malcolm, Nestleton and Mrs. Betty Blaker, Newcastle. The Roll Call, to tell an item of interest about our own house, was most interesting. Many of our homes are young and have not acquired ghosts as Gert Hendrikx had to explain to a young guest. These newly built homes would, in Annabelle's case, hopefully correct problems of the older home, e.g. water in the basement. No so! Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink was told by I. Elliott and her new home. A gypsy baby had been born in the woods by the Killeen house. Sien Eikens told of her determination to keep the water tower on their farm intact as a reminder of its use to supply the greenhouse. A team of horses falling through the barn floor of the Austin Wood barn while still hitched to the wagon in 1939 was told from the Brown memories. The first neighbourly visitor to the first baby in the Dow home was Mrs. Sam Brooks, mother of Gwen Malcolm. Our funds have increased and we are pleased to be able to pass a motion to make a donation to the hospital in memory of Nellie Feddema. Marg Killeen, our district resolutions convenor, spoke on a resolution being formed in the district and wished a sense of direction for preceding with it. A money raising idea of a Slave Auction was discussed and jobs described but the identity of the slave was not revealed. Dorothy Crago introduced former Providence resident Gwen Malcolm who told us of the duties of the curator, of the beginning of the Tweedsmuir History in 1947, tips for the curator and just for fun, "How to Preserve a Husband", in an effort to keep old things for future generations. Mrs, Malcolm showed us the Nestleton History and made Merry Makers Bowling Team Standing as of Jan. 17 Gloria Smith II points, 5453 pinfall; Mary Iluisman 5, 5141; Carol Roberts 5, 5133; Ena Etcher 5, 5068; Beta Junkin 4,5177; Fern Bullock 0, 4995.

"The whole idea behind Juried Exhibition of Crafts is to let people see whatsort of crafts everyone is working working on," explained Mrs. Remington, Remington, adding that, "af- terall, that's the reason the Mill is here." Maureen went on to say that there was a good response response to the program, something that can be attributed attributed to last year's invitational invitational show and the considerable considerable amount of advertising advertising for Winter's Harvest in newspapers and craft magazines. The Best in Show Award, presented by the Flying Dutchman Hotel, was presented presented to Bill Fitches of Oshawa for his entry entitled entitled "Peacock Coat".

A Special award for humour was also given to the entry entitled "1/2 Chicken in a Basket with Fries" presented by One Stop Fabrics, Bowmanville. Because it was often very difficult for the judges to choose the better of the imaginative crafts at the Mill Gallery, many of the displays received honorable honorable mention. "I am just thrilled with the quality of art work displayed displayed at the Centre," said Mrs. Remington. "It shows that there are still some very talented and imaginative imaginative people out there," she added. Maureen was so pleased with the public reception of this First Juried Exhibition of Crafts,' she is already making plans for next year's event.
