(Wassink photo) PRICES EFFECTIVE UNTIL SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1983= Seaforth is biggest BY VIVIENNE NEWNHAM Representatives of the sponsoring organizations and members of the Seaforth town council welcomed the new Katimavik group Thurs- day at the Seaforth and Community Centres. Meet- ing the individual members of the group and speaking with them about their impressions of the Katimavik experience was so interesting that the reception lasted much longer than was originally planned.. Representing six of Can- ada's provinces, the nine members of the group arrived in Seaforth for their third residential experience. Sea - forth and its surrounding areas is the largest small town to be visited by these young people. It is now generally known by Seaforth and area people that Katimavik is an experi- ence of a year's duration which is divided into three rotations. This new group is now in their third and last rotation and will leave Sea - forth on April 14 to return to their homes. It is now generally known by ,Seaforth and area people that Katimavik is an experi- ence of a year's duration which is divided into three rotations. This new group is now in their third and last rotation and will leave Sea - forth on April 14 to return to their homes. Already some of the group members are known at Sea - forth Public School and the Nursery School - two of the sponsoring organizations. The other spopaors are the Town of Seaforth, Hullet Wildlife Federation, and the Van Egmond Foundation. The first town visited by the present Katimavik group was Lac Edouard in Northern Quebec. Members of the small town yet for Katimavikers group have fond memories of the warns welcome and hospi- tality they received from the 186 people who made up the total population of that small community. The project worked on there was a dis- used T.B. Sanatorium which is in the process of being rejuvenated as a College of the Woods where life skills in the woods will be taught. Two members of the group. David Griffiths, of Pembroke. and Carolyn Countryman of Wallaceburg, are already planning to return to Lac Edouard to continue work Why do we spell the way we do? breaking serial on t.v. while they drank their morning coffee? If we pronounced tongue the way it is spelled - ton gue - we would not make sense. If we spelled tongue the way it is pronounced - tong - we would be talking about a Chinese guild. association or secret society. We might also be referring to one of the tongs that pick ice cubes from containers. We seem to have a passion for adding letters. For example. why spell sick. Why not sic or sik? Would we not be just as ill with only one "1"? A word 1 always have trouble spelling is manoeuvre. Thank goodness maneuver is accepted. In fairness to the language, there is a reason for everything, although it may not be quickly identified. Take the word igloo. for instance. Iglu might make us think of some kind of glue, and iglo might make us think of something that glows. If we insist on having three different meanings for the word "to '. it makes sense to have three different spellings - to. too, and two. Without the second "e", the bee that stings would be just another "be". And, a little thing like an "e" makes all the difference two laps around the track and a lapse of memory. Using the correct spelling should make the English language less confusing. even though we may not understand the reasons for the spelling. Oddo un Endo by COaawcp 4orwsbowd Are you ready for another investigation of this confusing language we call English? Well. ready or not, that is the train of thought my mind is running on today. Yesterday 1 was typing merrily along. When 1 stopped to review the page, 1 found "relaps" smack dab in the middle. I was not writing about laps on a race track that are run again. 1 was referring to a recurring illness - a "relapse". For a moment. I was tempted to overlook it. Relaps and relapse sound exactly the same. and surely everyone would know what 1 meant. Many people probably would not even notice. But, my conscience would not let me leave it. and for the sake of an "e". 1 retyped the whole page. "Why can't we spell words the way they sound?" I asked myself. Pneumonia, for example. Why not spell it. numonia? It would be faster and simple. Or, why not spell it, newmonia? We could quickly spell it the way it sounds - newmoania. . Spelling words the way they sound, or rather, pronouncing words the way they are spelled, would not work, gf course. Tomorrow morning we could ask someone. "Do you want cereal for break fast?" Would they think we want them to watch a fast with this exciting project after their current commitment with Katimavik ends in the spring. Cathy Andres. who hails from Fort St. John in North- ern B.C. was hoping to find some milder weather on the second rotation at Green- wood. B.C., a town .of about 1.000 people. but the snow was quite deep in the moun- tains around the valley. It did not seem cold as the wind was not too prevalent. Work there was mostly in the library and museum. and the reception' was Tess friendly than at Lac Edouard. The biggest surprise ori their arrival at Toronto Air- port was the landscape of snowless green grass in Jan- uary. It was understood that the Seaforth area was in the snow belt near Lake Huron so their arrival here was another surprise. Terry Collin is hoping to continue with Katimavik - perhaps as a Group -Leader. A Group Leader stays in a community for one year and introduces the various groups to the facilities of the area. Ernie Taylor is from Wap- ella, Saskatchewan, a town of S00 people who mostly raise grain and cattle. Allan Shep- hard. Halifax, Nova Scotia is helping the Physical Educa- tion department at Seaforth Public School. The other members, of the group. Phrance Thibodeau from Longvevil, P,Q., Christine Bussieres from Trois Rivieres P.O. and Marie Andree of Thivierge. P.Q. are all very ' interesting young people to meet and talk with and we hope they will haye good things to say about their third and final rotation here in Seaforth and area. From Feb. 20 through to March 6 will be the time for a more intimate knowledge of this area when a two week billeting period will allow nine interesting people to bring something of another part of Canada into some local homes. If you see anyone wearing an orange pin button with the word Katimivik, shake their hand and say hello and welcome.
