She is also frustrated by the 25 replies . she's received from the 150 applications she's sent to foundations, trust funds, ser- vice clubs, businesses •'and government ministries throughout Canada. Each reply lauds her courage and deter- mination but few make even a small donation.

Britain frowns at anyone working iii the country who isn't British, Jennifer says it would be very difficult for her to get a job while she's in school. She is appealing to the community to help her raise about $500 more since she believes she can live on $60 a month in England. - "I've already resigned myself to the fact that I won't be going out to eat or socialize. But, the chance•to go to RADA doesn't hap- pen too often and I don't mind making con- Jef- the cessions for it." Jennifer will be housesitting when she first arrives in London which will involve doing gardening, painting and cleaning when she gets -home from classes at 10 p.rn. in exchange for room and board. After that temporary situation, she hopes to find room and board in exchange for cooking and cleaning at a German mis- sion. (She is fluent in German, French and Spanish) "I fully expect it to be a `tea and soda crackers' kind of existence," she says. Anyone in Goderich who would like to contribute to Jennifer's education in the arts in England, should contact her parents, LeRoy and Nina Gowanlock at 189 Strang Court. s help Goderich' needy Lilflple cleic'sis Carnahon Day Make a donation ... ... wear a carnation!
