What follows is not the 'official' report but it was drawn up by the members of the OFY group to express their personal feelings about the project, its effects on the children of Exeter and Huron Park,and hopes for its future. Opportunities for "Youth — for a lot of taxpayers, it seems a simple scheme to dispense of their hard earned money. But for the children of Exeter and Huron Park who participated in the day camp, it provided fun and learning and the key to a truly productive summer. For $10,000 the kids got 12 "older brothers and sisters" on call 5 days a week for 8 weeks to teach them, entertain them, answer questions, and solve problems. As a result, both staff and kids benefited. The kids taught the staff how to deal with young people, and the staff passed on their knowledge of crafts, games and life in general, The grant received for the day camp projectconsisted of $9,000 in wages and $950 for supplies and other expenses. About $400 of this supplemented by $250 raised by the kids and staff, provided bus trips and excursions. The rest of the money paid for the school, crafts, supplies, and other ex- penses, Unfortunately, the federal government will not provide the grant twice in a row. It is up to the community to continue the program, Ten thousand dollars could be considered too much money to budget for such a program, but with industrial support, and community support, the amount to be raised could be reduced. And another year's program could be built on the exPerience gained this year, and be made even better. What lies in the future for such a program? The answer depends on the people in a position to support it. Do you consider the children worth this much money? Do you consider their learning of this much value? All the kids who participated would like to see us back next year, but will we be able to? As two of the mothers wrote: "We think you deserve credit for the work and effort that was put into the program, and is one that we would like to see continued in other years," The children obviously agree. "I would like to thank all the leaders of O.F.Y. for making a dull summer into an enjoyable one: sighed Cathy, This was the aim of the Opportunities for Youth staff in Huron Park and Exeter — to provide an educational yet stimulating and entertaining atmosphere for the children of the communities concerned. The evidence that this aim was accomplished can be found only in the children who attended the daycamp. By looking in their homes you will find breadboards, macramed wall hangings, and various pieces of artwork done by them. By looking at their faces If you ask any of the children you will see a look of ac- about the overnight campout at complishment and pride. Gielen's farm, yOtt will be en- teatained by their anecdotes of how cows are milked and what happens when one jumps in SANTA CLAUS IN THE SUMMER? As part of the Opportunities For Youth day camp, the counselors staged Christmas Day, with Steve Wuerth doing his part as the jolly old elf, talking to Julie Salvona, Waiting their turns are left, Sandra Lee, Susan Van Hees, counselor Dianne McCann, Jeff Sutherland, and handing out gifts, Kathryn Hall. •Pi•-'471gFr'''" straw mow. Likewise, many faces will light up as they recall the bus trips they experienced, The final one to Bob-Lo Island will surely receive special mention. Relationships between the children of different towns in the area developed as a result of Exeter and Huron Park children spending many hours together during bus tripe, overnight campouts, and Christmas Day. A field day with the Zurich playground provided a chance to develop new friendships as well as healthy competition. This summer the children had a chance to develop various talents not normally stressed in school, Many became interested in drama as a result of watching the Silent Partners Mime Co, and small plays that were directed by staff members. A talent show gave an opportunity to act these various skits before an audience. A two-day visit to this area by Art Trek gave them .4 try 0414- dying, batik, working with clay, and lino block printing. Through the media of films the children were entertained.aS well as educated. What better way could one travel across Canada or go hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean to watch baby sharks being born ? It is hard to believe the profound effect of these films on their minds until you hear them talk about them many days later. To adults these activities may seem small and trivial but to the children it meant their lives for the summer, Notice to SOUTH HURON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL Students and Staff • School begins on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 10:00 a.m, • Buses will operate on all usual routes.

Here, Dan Stuckless, Mary Ann Gielen and Terry Janke are painting the pinta for the Christmas Day celebration, In Mexico, all the presents are placed in decorated bags, and then hung from the ceiling to be broken in a game like 'pin the tail on the donkey'.
