HENSALL - Hensall's Brownie
troop visited Japan last Monday
night.
Actually it only felt that way for
the young girls as they gathered at
Hensall's Legion Hall and listened
to Chisato Hayashi, a 17 year old
student who is visiting from Japan.

family.
Hayashi is part of AFS,
an international exchange
program for young peo-
ple.
The Brownies were cap-
tivated as Hayashi ex-
plained daily life in her country.
She first explained the relative
size of Japan compared to Canada,
and the population difference. With
29 million people in Canada and
120 million people in Japan, one
Brownie said, "They must be
crowded."
Hayashi also described environ-
mental differences in Japan, such as
earthquakes, tornados, and moun-
tains.
The children were eager to try to
write with the Japanese alphabet.
Each with a pen and paper, they
copied the symbols which Hayashi
provided.
There were many
ments to Hayashi's
She had the young girls try to pick
things up with chopsticks, try on a
Yukata, which is similar to a Ki-
mono, and she handed out currency
from Japan.
When explaining what people eat
in Japan, she emphasized the im-
portance of rice in her culture.
"We eat rice the way most of you
eat bread," said Hayashi.
"A rice cooker is
like a coffee -maker
here, to make rice in
the morning for break-
fast," said Reaburn.
"Hayashi might eat
rice, soup, and pickles
for breakfast."
AFS is an interculture program,
with host families taking in stu-
dents from around the world.
"They arc not guests," said Re-
aburn, who is also the repre-
sentative for AFS in this area.
"They become a member of the
family. They really are quality
kids."
Hayashi has been in Canada since
last September, and will be leaving
in July. She says that she has really
enjoyed her time here. Reaburn is
equally pleased.
"She (Hayashi) is a fabulous kid."
The Brownies finished the eve-
ning with a challenging attempt at
origami, a Japanese paper art.

Chisato Hayashi demonstrates the art of chopsticks to Jes-
sica Wollis, a Brownie from Hensall.

Letters to the editor
Smoking ban
clarified
"Due to this
ventilation require-
ment, many facilities
are considering going
smoke-free."
Dear Editor:
1 am writing to clarify state-
ments that were made in the arti-
cle "Smoking ban considered at
Huronview". It stated that "Hu-
ronview is considering making the
facility smoke-free... to comply
with Bill 119 which prohibits
smoking in public buildings."
The Tobacco Control Act (or
Bill 119) docs not prohibit smok-
ing in nursing homes and homes
for the aged. Nursing homes and
hones for the aged can choose
to provide designated smoking
areas for their residents. How-
ever, by January I, 1996, these
designated smoking areas must
be separately ventilated to the
outside. Due to this ventilation
requirement, many facilities arc
considering going smoke-free.
The Huron County Health Unit
is continuing to work coopera-
tively with Huronview and oth-
er nursing homes/homes for the
agcd to reach solutions that will
both comply with the provincial
legislation and meet residents'
needs.
Sincerely,
Heather Kehl
Health Promoter, Huron
County Health Unit

CAN FUNERALS BE ADAPTED?
As funeral directors, we provide and carry out the arrangements for fu-
neral services. Many traditional funerals are very similar to one an-
other. But it is also our responsibility to provide services that allow
each bereaved family and group of friends to best express their grief
and to honour the deceased.
For example, an atheist or agnostic may request that non-sectarian
music be played at his funeral. The deceased may have had a favorite
poem, or scriptural passage: this, too, can be included irtthe servic-
es. The funeral is a highly personal ceremony, as individual as the
person it honours.
There are important and meaningful differences in rituals among the
various religious denominations. These must be respected according
to the wishes of you and your clergyman. Veteran and fraternal orders
may call for inclusion of their rituals. All these adaptations we respect
in providing a truly personal funeral.
We can accommodate your wishes in planning a funeral. It's a matter
of sitting down and discussing your plans. Please call us or stop by if
you would like more information.
