You may remember a column I wrote about a Month ago about the Toe Alpha Christmas Conference held in Toronto. One of the sessions thatI attended dealt with teenagers getting along withtheir parents. In this session various teenagers acted in the roles of parent -teenager conflicts.. By acting as the parents in certain situations, the teenagers in this ses�sion were able to understand better whatrtheir parents were feeling when.they had arguments, ' One girl said that she always had trouble trying to extend curfews. Even when she went to a dance or party that wouldn't be over until one o'clock, her atents expected her to be home at one o'clock every night. The people leading this session asked this -girl to demonstrate this problem in a skit, Only she was to act in the part of one of her parents. Another person played the part of the girl and "NEW GIRL GUIDES—The largest number of new Guides ever were installed in Seaforth last week.

On Jan. 23, Katimavik will launch a major participant recruitment drive across Ontario. Ten recruitment officers, alh young people with previous Katimavik experience, w' blitz more than 700 high schools, post secondary institutions, community centres; employments centres and youth groups with - information and presentations about Katim- avik. "The recruitment focus is on the personal approach. We want young people to really understand the Katimavik program and, hope to motivate them to apply," says Elaine Sigler, the Participant Recruitment Supervisor: Patricia Bell of Katimavik will give a presentation at the Seaforth District High School on Tuesday. Feb. 7 at 12:45. The recruitment officers' message, and the theme of this year's campaign is simple: Katimavik, is a unique opportunity to learn, tdlwork, to live. Through. Katimavik, young people have the opportunity to do: invaluable community service -work; -to travel -across Canada, learn a second language and, in the course of this nine-month experience, discover much more abo t themselves, Canada and. Canadians. y 17 to 21 -year-old young adult who is a nadian citizen or landed 'immigrant, can iy to the program. Participants are selected to represent -a cross-section of the . Canadian population, and range from high school graduates to university students taking a break from their studies to young people who cannot find work. This year's recruitment drive should prompt more than 10,000 inquiries, from mterested 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 announced last spring by the secretary of state. In 1983, only 500 Ontario participants could take part in the program. This years 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 thcus on Students wanted for exchange "Local area representatives are being sought for ASSE. a non-profit high school exchange program." says Cindy Boyce. director of ASSE.
