But, to carve out a caricature, takes him, on averagé, 16 hours. Classic and chip, carvings take anywhere from 40 to 170 hours each. Mr. Oegema is looking to expand his talent. During the first week of June, he and his wife. Then, flew to Branson, Missouri for a carving seminar and workshop. workshop. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., he made relief carvings with 139 other students. "My wife, Thea, is veiy artistic as well. She has given given me a lot of support. If it wasn't for her, I would not have gone to Branson," said Mr. Oegema. . As well, in the fall, he has plans to take lessons in classical classical carving. People enjoy Jan Oegema's Oegema's work so much that he is often asked if he is willing to sell his carvings. He puts a lot of time and precision into his carvings and is glad that people admire his work.

On behalf of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Canada Employment Employment Centre for Students, I would like to thank the BIA for their support of the Canada Canada Employment Centre for Students and the promotional promotional recycling drive event that was conducted on June 28, 1991. With the co-operation of the BIA, the recycling drive was a success. 14 -16 cubic yards of recyclable materials were collected and taken to J&F Waste Systems to be processed. It was unfortunate unfortunate that the Canada Em-' ployment Centre for Students Students could not continue to collect the recyclables throughout the summer. Special thanks to Mary Summer scales of Travel Agents International for distributing distributing the information letters describing the event. Thanks again for the BIA's support. It was a pleasure to meet and work in conjunction with the BIA members. We look forward to working working with you again next summer.
