This is because it is con- siderably bigger than originally anticipated and is taking longer to print." A film studio painted a sign on the roof in letters eight feet high, reading QUIET PLEASE. Instead of keeping noisy airplanes away, the sign brought planes roaring down even lower so pilots could read what it said.

Po 10A TImRa•Atote November 3, 1982 bit Katimavik group leaves good impression Exeter's fret Katimavik Carling Street home this month after com- pleting the first three-month stint of the nine month Katimavik program. They are now settling into a com- pletely French environment Inn Roberval, Quebec to work for another three months before travelling to Grand Forks in the mountains of BC :for the final period. Of the original eleven Katimavikers who came to town in July, eight stayed the course. One left within a few days of his arrival to take a job with a rock band in .his hometown of London, another accepted an excellent job of- fer in BC, and only one left because of unresolved dif- ficulties with the whole Katimavik concept. The young adults. worked under the sponsorship of ARC industries, the Ausable- ayfield Conservation authority, and the Exeter recreation committee for two and a half months, and were billeted individually for two weeks near the end of their three months in Exeter. The billeting is an impor- tant part -of the Katimavik program. People in the com- munity take in members for two weeks. The young people work with their hosts, and the hosts are paid $6 per day as reimbursement for extra groceries. The Katimavikers took on such diverse duties as helping to renovate a house, caring for the animals at a trail - riding ranch, working in a wool shop on a sheep farm, helping on a dairy goat farm, and taking part in an ar- chaeological dig. (Already many people in Exeter and proximity have put their names in to be considered for billeting the second group). "We'd like to get another one", was the reaction of Tom and Kelly Ryan, RR 3 Dashwood, after billeting Jeff Dickerson for two weeks. Tom's younger sister Bridgette, a Katimaviker last year, had enjoyed her ex- perience so much that when Tom heard one of the Exeter crew wanted to spend some time with a pig farmer, he issued an invitation. Ryan described his 20 -year-old guest as "super good". The recent agricultural college grad didn't have to be told much, was easy to get along with. never complained, and always wanted to learn. He constantly peppered his host dent with farm -related questions. tion The only moments of confu- sion arose when the young "James was easy et metric -minded and older along with, willing to to help, Imperial -inclined met and exceeded my expecta- head-on. tions' Stevens said afterward.

Richard Blain spoke almost no English' at first, Stuart elaborated,\ adding that Richard did all the work in trying to communicate, never I seemed to tire, and was never f short-tempered or resentful. "Tanis Sharpe was a darl- ing; she cared and she work- ed"; Stuart said. f The devastating fire at ARC C • Industries occurred on a da off for the other Exete Katimavikers. As soon a they heard about it, they al rushed to Dashwood. Th ARC employees were visibl upset and while preoccupied supervisors rushed around making arrangements for the employees to be bused home early , and tended 'to many other emergency details, young people were comfor- ting other young people. Stuart recalled seeing Tanis with her arms around three crying ARC workers at once. "They saved the day", Stuart said. "The next group is going to have to go some to beat the last ones, and I'm sure they will." Exeter Katimavik leader Robin Stanley said goodbye to her first group at 3 a.m. one Wednesday at London air- port, and later that day welcomed the second, an eleven -member team from Grand Forks, BC. The, six girls and five young men who will be living at Carling Street for the next three months are one of three Katimavik groups (out of 1,600) still re- taining all original members. They were allowed a day of eisure before attending an in- ormal reception at Dashwood to meet Exeter mayor Bruce Shaw, Ted ones and Dan Kennaley rorty the .Ausable-Bayfield onservation Authority, y Lynne Farquhar representing ✓ the Exeter rec committee, s and some ARC Industries 1 personnel. e On Sunday evening six of y the group, accompanied by Robin Stanley and Harry Stuart, were guests of the Hensall United Church Fellowship Night. While everyone sat around in a large circle, Robin explained what Katimavik was all about. For the next hour the Katimavikers were bombard- ed with questions, which they answered enthusiastically and humorously. The church members were particularly intrigued with the news the group's food budget is limited too50 per person. ne ;3of the per gdayroupsaidtheyhad eaten zucchini in every possi- ble way in BC, and never wanted to see another. In rep- ly to another question, a member from Quebec said "zucchini" is the same word in both official languages, and so is "yuck"! The new group will soon be earning their $1 per day. Because of the extra hands, ARC Industries was able to accept a contract to build 1,000 crates in five weeks for Exeter Produce. The largest previous undertaking was 200 in four weeks. The opening of a new development centre at Huron Park School to care for the in- tensely disabled is taking some Dashwood staff who will not be replaced. People from Katimavik will help fill the gap. . GRADE 13 SHIELD — Receiving the Gaiser-Kneale shield at Friday's South Huron District High School Com- mencement were the top students in grade 13.
