Fitness fare "Fitness Fare" is the name of the up -coming 4-11 food and nutrition project. As the title suggests, it's about two very popular topics, food and fitness, and how they affect each other. F ood is the fuel for exercise while exercise con- trols appetite and fat to mus- cle proportions. During weekly meetings, members will learn the dif- ference between stamina, flexibility and strengthening exercises. What kinds of foods to eat before a sports com- petition. cooking methods for controlling fat content and how to make good snacks are also part of the project. Stamina or endurance is one of the most important aspects of fitness. Club members will find out how they compare to other Cana- dians of the same age. Both boys and girls will be interested in "Fitness Fare". The club is seven weeks long and will be starting in September in Huron County. For further information, about joining contact Jane Muegge at the Clinton Agricultural Office (482-3428 or 1-800-265-7044). - Jane Muegge, Rural Organization Specialist (Home Economics) Livestock Management Tour The annual Livestock Management Tour is being held from November 7 to 9.

Employment Centre placed over 400 students By Donna Prout The cold spell of last week can mean but one thing - the arrival of September and the return to school for local students! It also brings the closing of the Canada Employment Centre for Students after a successful summer program. Thanks to the support of many businesses, householders and farmers in the South Huron area, over 400 local ktudents found sum- mer employment through the student centre this year. That is a decrease of approximate- ly 10 percent from last year. By the end of June this year, student employment in the area was up some 35 per- cent from 19Ki, but with rising interest rates and several layoffs in the area, July and August proved to be much more difficult months for students seeking work. What types of jobs could you find students doing this summer? Ready, willing and able is the key phrase! This summer, the Student Centre received orders ranging from hauling piles of dirt from the back of a house to the front, dressing up as a cougar for a promotional activity, and pulling weeds in pea fields to drafting machinery layouts in a factory, selling mobile homes and doing physical therapy exercises with senior citizens. Cheri Alexander of Exeter found employment at The Mane Event, a hair shop operated by Joan Skinner and Linda Tjoekler. The busy hairdressers hired Cheri, a grade 10 student at South Huron District High School to shampoo customers, clean and answer the phone. Cheri is very fortunate because her summer job will also continue part-time dur- ing the coming school term as well. Before starting at The Mane Event, Cheri was eagerly picking stones and strawberries. Cheri, like many other students, was willing to accept any type of part-time work until a regular summer job came along. Matthew Connon, a grade 13 student at South Huron was also doing all types of 'odd jobs' until he found employ- ment at Veal's Meat Market on Highway 83, east of Ex- eter. Matt willingly accepted hot and hard work in farmer's hay mows during the humid days of early July but is now enjoying steady employment in the coolness of the local abattoir's meat freezers. Mike Veal, Matt's employer has been very pleased with his help this summer. He finds Matt very willing to do the tasks assigned to him. This is the second summer that Veal's have hired sum - 'rig . - HUNT TROPHIES The activities during the Trivitt Memorial vacation bible school included a scpvenger hunt. Shown with the children and their treasures are hunt organizer Deb Homuth (left). Others who helped with the 23 children plus the nursery were Trudy Simpson, Jay Skillender and Nancy Lee. SPLASHING AROUND — Children of firemen participating in Sunday's firemen's games in Crediton also got into the act. Dashwood and Crediton youngsters are shown here splashing around.

T -A photo mer help to ease the work load during vacations and the busy barbecue season. Matt has been doing odd jobs such as making deliveries, running errands and painting. The local stu- dent, who plans to study law in university, will surely be very successful in his chosen career if he maintains the same zeal and ambition that he has displayed for his employer this summer! Corrinne Weernink and Elizabeth Lagerwerf are two of a handful of local students who found employment related to their aspirations. Both students have been workin at ARC Industries in Dashwood for the past three months. involved in adult training programs for men- tally handicapped adults, Cor- rinne and Elizabeth both cite `patience' as one asset they developed this summer. Corrinne, a second year stu- dent in the highly competitive Physical Therapy Program at the University of Western Ontario was a ` aintenance instructor' for ARC's employees. She instructed the handicapped adults in basic cleaning skills, grass cutting and yard maintenance. Cor- rinne, who had never worked with handicapped individuals before was slightly hesitant before the summer began but found it to be a very rewar- ding and positive experience. As a physiotherapist, Cor- rinne will be closely involved with people with physical in- juries or disabilities. After her experience at ARC this summer, she is sure that she is heading in the right career direction. Elizabeth Lagerwerf, RR 8 Parkhill, was a teacher's aide in the special education pro- gram at ARC. The education program which involves 21 employees helps the mental- ly handicapped adults in basic skills in reading, writing and 1lrithmetic. The regular teacher as the summer months off so Elizabeth is fill- ing in to lessen the regression in skills that would happen after such a sojourn. A SHAMPOO — Student employment officer Donna Prout watches as Cheri Alexander shampoos a customer at the Mane Event. T -A photo A MEAT CUTTER — Matt Connon cuts meat under the watchful eye of Mike Veal of Veal's Meat Market. Elizabeth, a kinesiology student at the University of Waterloo, feels that her ex- posure to handicapped per-. sons this summer has given her new ideas about potential workplaces, but Elizabeth still thinks that she would like to go into the teaching field. For Cheri, Matt, Corrinne, Elizabeth and myself, all students who found work through the Canada Employ- ment Centre for Students, the summer' employment has been appreciated - both for the financial gains and for the increased job experience. Though obviously not all students are efficient workers, as a group they have a great deal to offer. Ver- satility - who other than a stu- dent is willing to cut your lawn with two hours notice for two dollars an hour? En- thusiasm - the enthusiasm that comes with inexperience. Potential - the potential to be a very hardworking and dedicated employee! The Canada Employment Centre closes its doors on August 31. If you have a job for a student during the fall, please contact me, Donna, at 305 Main Street, Exeter, or call me at 235-1711. After August 31, Debbie, Helen and Laura in the main Employ- ment Centre will be more than willing to help you.
