in loving memory of o -dear hus-

away one year ago March 4,
1983.
There is someone who misses
you sadly,.
In the house where you used to
be.
Someone who wanted to keep
you,
But Gpd willed it not to be.
You left some beautiful
memories,
And sorrow too great to be told,
But to the ones who loved and
lost you,
Your memory will never grow
old.
May God bless you Stew, for
those few precious years.
Always loved and remembered
by your wife Margaret, your
family and grandchildren. -9x

Katimavik recruiter visited School
More than 1,500 young people in Ontario -
three times as many -as ever before - have
an opportunity this. year to participate m
Katimavik, a national youth volunteer pro-
gram.
On January 23, Katimavik launched a ma-
jor participant recruitment drive across On-
tario. Ten recruitment officers, all young
people with previous Katimavik experience
visited more than. 700 high schools, post
Secondary institutions, community centres,
employment centres and youth groups with
information and presentations about
Katimavik.
Patricia Bell of Windsor visited Central
Moron Secondary Scilool inn Clinton, on Feb.
7. Involved in Katirilavik for four years,lVls.
Bell is the regional recruitment officer for
the youth program. She was responsible for
recruiting youngsters ,from the Kitchener,
Waterloo and London area.
The recruitment officer said that about 20
students from CHSS were interested in join-
ing.
"Now that there's a Katimavik group in
town local students are more interested,"
she said.
LIVERMORE She also visited high schools in Seaforth,
I would like to express my Goderich, Wingham and Exeter.
sincere thanks to Dr. Newland, The Participant Recruitment Supervisor,
all the nursing staff on the first o Elaine Sigler, said, "The recruitment focus
floor and nurses in the is on the personal approach. We want young
emergency dept. for the ex- people to really understand the Katimavik
program, and hope to motivate them to app-
ly."

appreciated so much. Jean who cannot find work.
Livermore. -9x This year's recruitment drive should pro-
mpt More than 10,040 inquiries from in-
terested Ontario youth, of which 1,500 will be
,selected to participate in the 1984 Katimavik
program. This campaign is the' largest ever
undertaken by Katimavik and was made
possible by the additional funding announc-
ed last spring by the Secretary of State. In
1983, only 500 Ontario participants could
take in the program.
This year's campaign will concentrate on
two target groups: the young unemployed
and students. "Katimavik exposes young
people to many different practical work and'
life situations, and thus helps them focus on
career options they' want topursue after
completion of the nine-month program,'.' ex-
plained MVfs: "Sigler. - "Through their
volunteer work, -participants are exposed to
a variety of work skills, such as carpentry,
forestry management, teaching and work-
ing with the handicapped. More important-
ly, participants leave the program with a
solid understanding of the value of work."
Nationally, there are about 5,000 young
people working in more than 400' com-
munities across Canada in 1984. Each of
these young people spends three months in
three different Canadian communities,
working on non-profit projects which direct-
ly benefit the host community.
All room, board and transportation are
paid for by Katimavik and participants
receive $1 a day for pocket money . On suc-
cessful completion of the program, par-
ticipants receive a $1,000 honorarium.
"The most important thing for potential
participants is that they be committed to
working and learning and that they be ready
for an intensive experience in living," said
Ms. Sigler.
Those interested in learning more about
Katimavik can obtain information at their
high school counselling office.
