Good future for sitters By JOY SCHEIFELE From the enthusiasm and perception displayed by the nine young people currently taking the babysitting course being offered in Ailsa Craig, it appears that the community should have an excellent core of good babysitters in the near future, The course, offered by. Fan- shawe College, has consisted of ten hours of instruction, plus a three hour practical experience stint. Instructor, Mrs. Phyllis Lodge, said she found the students "very responsive and enthusiastic". Part of their course involved making up babysitting kits, and they came up with some terrific ones". Each participant was asked to complete a kit containing ac- tivities and diversions for young children of various ages. "Several of the kits were decorated on the outside as well with clocks with moveable hands and such like", reported Mrs Lodge. Throughout the time of in- struction films dealing with child development were shown, the O.P.P., St. John Ambulance and the V.O.N. spoke to students. The classes have been held each Saturday afternoon for the past month at the former Ailsa Craig Public school. At the conclusion of the instructional period last Saturday, the nine participants wrote an exam which will qualify them for a diploma in babysitting from Fanshawe College.
