But, Duncan says, the United Church is mobilizing its forces to acknowledge child abuse and to educate its members. Beyond the church's attempts to let people know the extent of the abuse, it is also work- ing towards creating a society that will no longer tolerate it. Resource kits on families and s' violence are being tested regionally and over 5,000 information booklets are reaching congregations nation- wide. Attempts are also being made to increase the church's pool of train- ed people through ecumenical workshops on child abuse. The offenders don't fit any stereotype, says Duncan, but are like- ly to have been abused themselves as children. "Abusers, and the abused, are also in church pews," she writes. The Rev. Peter Mitchell of Amherst, Nova Scotia says, "If you grow up in a relatively middle-class home you think it doesn't happen to normal folks, but it does." Mitchell and his wife Karen, also a minister, say they've been able to hear about abuse cases and help vic- tims because they've talked about it in the pulpit. Despite the church's efforts to deal HAS BEANS BAKE SALE — Carol Moore and Linda Arnold display some of the baking on sale at the Zurich Has Beans booth at the Bean Festival, Saturday morning.

Placement officer writes Student Dear Editor: On behalf of the Canada Employ- ment lcentre for Students in Exeter, l would like to thank the many people who helped make this year's hire -a - student campaign such a success. First, I must thank the employers of Exeter and the surrounding area who provided summer jobs for a large number of highschool and post- secondary school students. These jobs not only give young people valuable work experience, but also help them in saving money to return to school in September. Students in the area spent their summers on farms, in private - homes, businesses, retail stores, etc. thanks to the opportunities given to them by Exeter and area employers: On behalf of our future doctors, farmers, secretaries, nurses, teachers, and so on, thank you for hir- ing a student. Next, 1 would like to thank local businesses, libraries, churches, who • campaign helped so much with our advertising campaign especially during hire -a - student week in June. Many Exeter businesses cooperated with the stu- dent program by displaying posters, wearing buttons, distributing grocery bag stuffers, setting out placemats, displaying flyers, etc. For all of these people who helped with our promo- tion, your efforts were greatly appreciated. I must also give special mention to the Exeter Times -Advocate for prin- ting various articles about the Student Employment Office over the course of the summer. We received outstan- ding coverage in the Times -Advocate which certainly helped to get our message across to a large number of people. Here at the student office, we truly appreciate the aid of this newspaper publicity. To the local community, private homeowners, and everyone who put their trust in student workers, I would August 28, 1985 Page 7 success also like to say thank you. It is precisely this community support which builds the success of our stu- dent program. Finally, t must personally extend special thanks to the staff of the Ex- eter Employment Centre. They were always there when 1 needed support. encouragement and questions answered. Thanks again Debbie. Helen, and Laura. The student -office will open again in February 1986 until the end of August. 1 hope that next year'spro- gram will be as successful as the sum- mer of '85. Again, thank you for your support.
