Twenty-five year old Momodu Kamara has just finished his courses at the University of Sierra Leone and will be receiving his Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education. Mr. Kamara comes to Canada and this part of Ontario, through Canadian Crossroads Inter- national, a private non-profit organization whose program involves sending Canadians to developing , countries and bringing people to Canada from these countries. The aim of the program is to increase peoples understanding of one another and their cultures. The volunteers chosen to go from Canada to developing operience-25 countries or to come to Canada from these countries, must pay part of their own travel expenses and return to their own country after their three month work experience. Last year, two Crossroads volunteers from Ghana worked near Goderich. They worked on farms, gave talks to schools and churches and worked as coun- race, John Bierling; shoe scramble, John Bierling; ladies kick the slipper; Yvbonne Smith, men's kick the slipper, Donald ' Schenk, 3 legged race, Yvonne Smith and Chris Forbes. Plans were made to hold the 1976 picnic in Michigan. sellors in a summer camp, Momodu Kamara will work with the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority in their regular program as well as with the Experience '75 (SWEEP) program, to learn how Ontario manages its renewable natural resources through the Con- servation Authorities watershed management system. At the same time he will have a chance to experience, and learn about the Ontario agricultural scene in Southwestern Ontario and the people, customs, and ways of rural Canada. "Our climate is much the same as your Canadian summer,"said the pleasant soft spoken Momodu, "But your nights are colder." Momodu received his first impressions about Canada from the CUSO people and missionaries of the United Church of Canada working in the schools of Sierra Leone. "From the way they talked of their homeland and judging from the people I have met since arriving to Canada, I feel that Canadians are open-minded and liberal, a very friendly people," he said, During his three month stay Momodu hopes to visit Niagara Falls, several universities and participate in the Canadian scene as much as possible. Sierra Leone was granted independence in 1961. It is now a republic under President Siaka 't.Stevens. The population is just over three million people. "It is very similar to the Canadian system," says Momodu about his government. He plans to serve as an agricultural science teacher and extension agent when he finishes his work term here, in keeping with the policy of the Sierra Leone Government to boost the agricultural potential of the country. He has had about ten years' experience in community development work and as a ex- tension field worker, plus 11/4 years teaching experience. Here in Canada he hopes to learn about fertilizers, sprays, modern techniques and use of modern farm equipment. Rice is the main agricultural product of Sierra Leone. The Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority would like to find a family in Exeter, or on a nearby farm, interested in of- fering Momodu Kamara a home for the summer. The Authority feels that by being able to live in a family setting, Momodu will gain a better understanding of the Canadian way of life in rural Ontario. Tree house okay for kids After considerable debate, Monday, members of the Exeter RAP committee approved a request from the senior members of the Exeter playground to erect a tree house in Riverview Park on the north bank of the reser- voir. The request had been made by playground leader Laura Johns, who said the structure would not be aneye-soreas it would be well hidden in the trees. The didn't give any specifics as to size, but said the children wanted the house large enough to accommodate most of them at any given time. There are 15 children registered in the senior section. Rec director Jim McKinlay said he was a "little nervous" about making the decision and that was the reason he had the instructor appear before RAP. Lossy Fuller wondered if RAP would be liable for any injuries that may be sustained if someone fell out of the structure and McKinlay replied that, in his estimation there would be no more liability involved than if a youngster fell off the park ' pavilion or a swing. He said that RAP would have to prove they had not been negligent in approving or constructing the tree house and this would entail having plans drawn up by chairman Jack Underwood, a professional engineer. McKinlay suggested the structure would also require safety railings. "If Jack (Underwood) over- sees the project, I think it would be okay," commented vice- chairman Ruth Durand. Derry Boyle and Gord Baynham then presented a motion approving the project on the stipulation that it is planned and supervised by Underwood and that the structure be removed at the end of the playground season. It will only be used when a supervisor is in attendance and will be locked at other times.
