The first course of the meal was placed on the table and mothers and WI members sampled the foods. The desserts were then sampled. After the meal, each member told about the, food and the country from which it came. Lorie Purdon thanked the ladies for coming and the girls ex- pressed appreciation to the mothers and leaders for their U®W. courses scheduled for winter and spring '78 The Uniirersity of Waterloo will offer three courses off -campus in Orangeville during the winter and spring of 1978. A course in political science will be given in the Winter term (January -April), and courses in religious studies and sociology will be held in the spring term (March -June) . The winter '78 political science course, Canadian Municipal Government, will meet on Wednesday evenings, 7-10 p.m. at the Orangeville District Secon- dary School. The first class meet - Mg will take place on January 4. The instructor for the 13 -week course will be Prof. Terry Downey of the UW political Science department. Prof. Downey, a native of nearby Arthur, Ontario, is an ex- perienced off -campus lecturer — this fall he's been teaching at the Kitchener -Waterloo and District Labour. Centre. Prof. Downey's course will examine the assumptions under- lying the various systems of local government used' in Canada. Al- though the course deals pri- marily with the operation of local government, there will also be discussions of various policy issues relating to new forms of municipal government in On- tario. A special information session about this course will be held at the Orangeville Public Library on Tuesday, December 6 from 6:45 to 8 p.m. Prof. Downey and Stephen Jones of the UW external affairs office will be on hand to discuss the course and to answer questions of prospective stu- dents. Everyone is invited to attend. UW has been offering lectures in Orangeville since this past September, in response to the in- terest in university courses shown when an informal survey was conducted in the community last winter. Three courses — English, history and urban planning — have been underway this fall, and the lectures have. been attended by over 50 people. Many are attending these lec- tures just- for interest, while others are taking them for uni- versity credit. A number of stu- dents .in both categories have been away from formal edu- cation for some time, and they appear to show that the 'lifelong learning' ,_that we hear so much about is a reality in Orangeville.
