Food Available. From our kitchen to yours By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine Do you remember your days at camp? Were they ex- citing times, filled to the brim with nature lore, crafts and Swimming? Or, were they seemingly endless days given over to home sick- ness, gray thoughts and rain? The chore I always hated was the first day duty letter which the camp director always in- sisted had to be written home to inform that you arrived safety (1'm almost positive that my parents would have known had i not gotten there safely, however...) and how wonderful camp life was (how honest could you be after just six hours and one meal). Ah but the letters from home! Those missives that kept you in touch with the outside world! (Remember, 1 went to camp back in the good old days when a letter written on a Tuesday in Exeter did not take 10 days to reach London! Although the one 1 wrote on birch hark is still some place between Algonquin Park and home, and has taken much longer than ten days.) The ones from the family were fine, those from your friends so much more in- formative and those that arrived S.W.A.K. (of course only the counsellors usually got those) caused a great deal of blushing during mail call in a full dining hall just after lunch! One thing many of those letters had in common were the X's and O's at the bottom. I had no trouble figuring how the 0 be- came a hug, but the X for kiss always escaped me until 1 read an article by Marvin Vanoni in the magazine "Reminisce". According to him at one time. the sign of St. Andrew, a cross, was put on certain legal documents as a sign of good faith and honesty. The practice grew, until no agreement was considered binding unless the cross was drawn below each signature and each party had kissed the document. Often the cross was hastily drawn and looked like the letter X. As time passed, people have forgotten the reason for the X being there but have not forgotten the association with the kiss. One dessert treat that my kids brought home from camp is ba- nana boats and here is their recipe. Banana Boats Cut bananas longways twice. Don t cut nght through, you only want to peel back the skin so you can scoop out some of the ba- nana. Add chocolate chips and mini marshmallows in place of the banana you have removed. Fold the banana peel back over the marshmallows and choco- late chips and wrap tightly in tin foil Place on hot coals and wait 5-1() minutes, depending on the heat of the fire. Remove from the coals and unwrap. Eat with a spoon and sa- vour every morsel!

Carter was sitting in his car in the driveway reading -the Times -Advocate waiting.for the ram to let-up so he could enter his home, when pieces of wood landed on the vehicle. Carter got out to discover lightning had splintered a 40 -foot evergreen behind the car and adjacent to his home. Ironical- ly, the incident occurred a year and a day after lightning caused a hydro transformer to explode in Carter's front yard. Carter is shown here with a splinter from the tree in the back- ground. The white streak down the tree's centre shows where the bolt travelled. WO.W Program a success for fifth consecutive year EXETER - For the fifth consecu- tive year, the summer student em- ployment program Work Onenta- uon Workshop (W.O.W.) is being conducted at South Huron District High School for students between the ages of 14 and 17. The two phase program. fully landed by the federal government, has proven successful in finding summer employment for studcars ui a work environment related to their career interests. "W.O.W. helps students define their goals and aspirations through its two components," says program . supervisor Lori Lynn Wagner. Each participant in the program is on the job for 20 days at local busi- nesses and organizauons and a workshop schedule complements their work experience "The workshops have been good. They make (the students) think," says Wagner.

Most of the participants agree that pan of the reason they joined the program was due to the extreme difficulty in obtaining summer em- ployment for students.
