Are YOU the one? Javier, Emilie and David, along with 50 other young teens, aged 13-18, from Europe will be. arriving in Ontario June 28 as part of their 4 -week summer cultural exchange program and they have nowhere to stay. We are urgently in need of the Canadian spirit of hospitality to wel- come these young people - good students with a desire to improve their English and share a bit of their own country with their Canadian friends. A second group of 50 more participants, also under the aus- pices of Nacel Canada Inc., a non-profit organization, will arrive on August 2. The students are seeking an immersion experience, so host families must speak English as their primary language. Since they don't attend any classes, they participate in your daily family activities and are free to go on camping trips or on vacation with you. We match students with families who have similar interests. Although host families are volunteers, a small honorarium is offered. The students bring pocket money to pay for admission fees and other personal expenses. They are also fully covered by insurance for accidents or illness. There are chaperones and local Nacel reps available to help out should any prob- lems arise. What can YOU do to help? If your family has a spare bed (a room shared with a sibling of the same gender is fine) and an interest in sharing your way of life with a new friend this summer, please call Emmy Bortolin at 519-869-6919 (Sarnia) or toll-free 1-800-665-6223. All students must be placed by June 1, so please call NOW. • News Scott Hilgendor f photo Collision sends two to hospital....

"I just gave them the message and they know they can call the police if they're hearing a lot of rumours about who is setting the fires," he said.
