The purpose of the presenta- tion was to get feedback from Council on the recommenda- tions, in order for the planners to improve the document, said Darlene Proudfoot, from Totten Sims. Feedback is exactly what they got. Council was divided on the usefulness of the document. Councillor Marilyn Pearce said that after first reviewing the document she was " a little bit ARLENE DAVIS Daughter of John & Ina Davis of Caesarea, graduated on June 1st from Wilfred Laurier University with a double honours B.A. degree in Anthropology & History.

She believes the town is "beautiful the way it is", and says the merchants have done a lot to create a real identi- ty. But she says after careful consideration of the document, she realized that there was some useful information in the idelines that could be used to urther enhance the area. Area Councillor Don Co- chrane was less supportive of the document and questioned why they were doing such a study at this time. He pointed to the futility of the scheme ar- guing that there is very little that Council can do. Councillor Cochrane says it is the responsibility of the prop- erty owners to make the chang- _ es and upgrades. He says the merchants in the past have made renovations to their prop- erties, and therefore must like what they have done. The planners will return to Council on July 29 with a re- vised document.

The 4-H club applied for funding for an exchange trip through Connections Canada and just found out on June 18 that they had been accepted, explains leader Maria Schil- lings. "It all happened so quickly." More than 300 youths belong to the 4-H club in this county. However, only 10 could go on this exchange trip and they had to be between the ages of 14 and 18, says Ms. Schillings, who will be their chaperone. The federal government is covering the cost of the flight and travel distance to the air- port, she.says, but the local clubs must pay for everything else. The local group raised $2,300 through various fund- raising activities, such as sell- ing cheese and working as ush- ers at the Queen's Plate, to pro- vide funds for the exchange. The Alberta visitors will be shown around the area and then taken to see Toronto and Niagara Falls. They will return to Alberta on July 17, then on July 22 the Ontario group will fly out to visit Alberta. Day Camp enters a new decade The first week of Day Camp was a big success.
