PEOPLE AND MEDICINES
SOME LIKE IT HOT!
Everybody has a different tolerance to heat,
Some people no matter what the temperature
seem to be cool and Unruffled. Others start to
wilt at the first signs of warm Weather. Drugs
too react to temperature changes in different
Ways. With some medicines_ special storage pre-
cautions must be taken to insure that a Sudden
change in temperature does not occur and effeCt
the potency of the drug.
Part of the professional knowledge and re-
sponsibility of your pharmacist is to know about
the characteristies of the drugs he haS in the
pharmacy and to see that they are property
protected. Every Prescription that reaches you
must be at its fullest strength.

Part of the agreement of an
Opportunities For Youth project
is that the group concerned
prepare 411 official report for the
government at the end of the
summer.
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.

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,

DO YOUR OWN THING — The
children at the day camps were
able to follow up personal as well
as group interests. Here, Jack
Hillman tries his hand with the
guitar, and practices for the talent
show. ARTY ACTIVITIES — Art Trek
was just one of the programs
sponsored by the Opportunities

tie-dying.

FUN FOR ALL — The counselors had as much fun as the kids in the
various projects undertaken. Here, Mary Ellen Gingerich supervises
one of the messy, but enjoyable art experiments.
PAINTING THE Pli\IATA The OFY counselors tried to provide as
many new experiences as possible for the children at the day camps.
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'.
