ada-Malaysia team
Elliott, son of Mr. and
Mrs., Ted Elliott of Wingham, is
*dam for adventure in a big
way ,-- on the far side of the
globe. Re is one of 40 young Can-
adia at present billeted at
Camp Alexander in the Vancouv-
er area as embers of the Can-
adian World Youth organization.
CWY is a private, non-profit or-
ganization funded by the Can-
adian International Development
Agency in part, the balance of
needed moneys provided by the
exchange country and private
do=i,ations.
At Camp Alexander there are
also 35 people from Malaysia,
ranging from 17 to 35 years of
age, who are mixing with their
Canadian counterparts, absorb-
ing all they can of our habits and
culture. When the intermix
`period in B.C. has been complet-
ed the Canadian young people
will journey to Malaysia to spend
RANDY ELLIOTT
about five months in that coun-
Randy, who is 19, applied for
the CWY program after it was an-
nounced at the F. E. Madill
School here in March. Final
selection of participants from
this area was made in London in
August. His inclusion as a mem-
ber of the Canadian CWY party is
• `the chance of a lifetime" to be-
come familiar with a culture
which has been utterly strange to
most Westerpers.
The Malaysian group at Camp
Alexander is headed by Mo-
hamad Ahmad, who comes from
the town of Seremban in the State'
of Negeri Sembilan. At least two
of the visitors were chosen ,from
each of their country's 13 states.
The Canadian part of the interna-
tional team is headed by John
Larnoreaux and each of the Can-
adian, provinces is represented.
Of the 40, 15 are French-speaking
Canadians and'one is an Ojibway
Indian from Sioux Lookout, Ont.
Depends on Participants
The Malaysian Minister of Cul-
ture,•Youth and Sports stated in
his official release that "the ul-
timate success of this program
depends not only on the efforts of
the sponsor but also on the good
response and hard work of the
participants to create a feeling of
good will between Malaysian and
Canadian youth, and at the same
time, on the return to their own
countries later, to contribute ac-
tively towards the improvement
of youth movement in his or her
own place."
The CWY exchange program is
carried on with several other
countries besides Malaysia: In-
donesia, the Philippines, Ceylon,
Gambia, Senegal, Ivory Coast,
Tunisia, Colombia, Guatemala,
El Salvador and Haiti.
This is a true exchange pro-
gram in which those visiting Can-

similar facts about the host r

In the Vancouver camp Mal-
aysians and Canadians begame
involved in light industry, visit
five or six food co-operatives,
learn the art of beekeeping (most
beehives are found wild in Mal-
aysian jungles and very few are
kept for commercial use), food
canning and carpentry. The
French-speaking Canadians will
contribute to the program by
teaching kindergarten and prim-
ary grade children conversa-
tional French and the Malaysians
will visit boys' clubs in Van-
couver and Victoria. Before the
visitors return to the East they
will have many more Canadian
activities and organizations
which may prove enlightening
and be helpful when they return
to their homeland.
During their stay in Canada the
Malaysians have accustomed
themselves to our comparatively
bland Canadian cooking, and the
Canadians have tried the highly -
spiced "very hot" foods which
are the traditional diet of the
eastern nations. The two types of
cooking_ have been alternated,
which will help to prepare the
Canadians for the foods they will
eat when they fly to Malaysia in
January.
WEIRD POTATOES seem to be springing up in everyone's
