Over 1,700 scouts from and the United States at- tended the Jamboree dubbed Discovery 95. Scouts Terry Ma- cEachern, Column An- gus, Jamie Keys, Kyle Fusick, Jason Davey, Nathan Kraftcheck, and scout leaders Bill Dinney and Ron MacEachern re- turned last month after spending Rine days in Labrador Newfoundland enjoying scout activities and exploring the province's countryside. Laurie and Susan Kraftcheck from the Exeter Ventures also at- tended the jamboree leaving a few days earlier with their son Nathan for an extended trip. The trip was funded through Scout Group Committee fund- raisers and sponsorship from the Lions Club, the Optimists and the Legion. Local businesses and in- dividuals from the community also donated money for the scout's east Canada coast adventure. One by one the scouts stood and shared their most enjoyed ex- periences from the jamboree. Some appreciated the hiking and activities, others liked carving shapes out of soft -rock. A few scouts had the op- portunity to see wild moose from close range or three foot long salmon jump wa- terfalls as they neared the end of their spawning season. For most of the scouts, it was their first ride in a jet airplane and this was an exciting way to begin their adventure. MacEachern said the trip was an important learning experience. With no transportation, telephones or showers, the group had to cope with what they had and rely on each other during their stay in a re- mote part of the province. "They were responsible for their own cooking and cleanups. They all learned to get along by them- selves," said MacEachern. Dinney said meeting the many scout groups in Newfoundland and being exposed to a different part of "A trip like that is the best education a scout can get. r r the country was an important learning experience for them. "They learned a lot in a very short period of time. They learned about life in a way you can't teach in school," said Dinney. The first Exeter Scouts play a "Newly Jig" at the Youth Centre on Wednesday.

ALL EARS John E. Tiede Hearing instrument Specialist Hearing Test - Fast, Simple, and Important For All Ages Q. 1 rmently had a hearing lest and was told that I hear nor- mally in the low frequency range, but that I no longer hear high -frequency sounds well. Can you please explain what this means? A. You have what's known as high -frequency loss. This means that you may hear low tones well, but sounds produced at a higher pitch or frequency, arc difficult for you to heat. The higher the pitch (say for example, the notes at the high end of a piano keyboard), the more difficulty you probably have in hearing or distinguishing the sound. The important word here is distinguish. If you plotted speech pattern on a frequency scale, you'd sec the vowel sounds fall into the low -fre- quency range, whereas con- sonant sounds arc at higher frequencies. So a person with your type of loss may have problems distin- guishing between consonant sounds. Telling the difference between CAP and TAP, for example, may be difficult. High -frequency hearing loss may occur with advancing age, or as a result of prolonged exposure to loud noises. it is usually not correctable medically or surgically but, in most casts, can be helped by hearing aids. Visit the shearing Care Centre at 7 Rattenbury St. E., Clinton, for a complete hearing evaluation. Trained personnel will help you select the right hearing aids for your particular hearing loss. Call (519) 482-9024 to schedule your appointment. A special clink will be held in Exeter at Huron Apothecary on Aug. 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For a con- sultation appointment pkafte can Huron Apothecary at 235-1982.
