The schools involved were Jack Harvey School and Burr Elementary School from Sterling Heights, Switzer School in Rochester, and 11.H. Wiley Elementary in Utica, all communities 'of, Michigan.

Other Villa Happenings Greetings from the residents of the Villa. It is a relief to have a break from the high temperatures and humidity of several days ago: We were glad to see the much needed rain. Our garden and new flower beds would be pleased to receive yet another shower. Mrs. Janke's class from SHDHS entertained for our birthday party. As well they provided a delicious cake and cupcakes, baked in their own kit- chen. Another group of young people have been visiting us. The Youth Group from the Pentecostal Church will be joining us every Wednesday night in June. Our bakers have been busy lately. We enjoyed trying something new - rhubarb muffins. It was an excellent way to take advantage of the fresh rhubarb donated to us. As well we tried our hand at butter tarts. Each pan looked as tantalizing as the last. • Birthday wishes recently to Bernice Davis, Gladys Haynes and Aileen Traquair. Sorry to report that Giff Hoggarth is in hospital. Our best wishes go out to him as. he recovers. We are glad to see Peter Regier return from hospital. Our sympathies are extended to the family and friends of Jim Baker. We shall miss him at the Villa. In closing - remember June is Senior Citizens' Month. Aging is a Lifelong Affair. The readers write. Dear moms and dads, The hot weather experienced dur- ing the month of May assures us that summer has come and is here to stay. And with the advent of summer comes the opportunities that you dreamed of on cold winter days in February - baseball games, barbequ- ing, boating on Lake Huron or simp- ly, basking in the sun's golden rays. But with all good, some bad must come - long humid sleepless nights, endless grasscutting and lawncare. but, more importantly, something plagues many parents each summer, that being bored, anxious and sometimes bothersome children who always claim that "there's just nothing to do! !". ' While I can do nothing to solve the first two problems except suggest you install central air conditioning and "Astroturf", 1am confident that I will be able to assist you with the third problem should you encounter. As student placement officer at the Canada Employment Centre for Students, it's my job to both find possible summer employment oppor- tunities in Exeter and the surrounding area, and then refer interested students to them. Each summer numerous students, many like your children, find both in- teresting and rewarding job oppor- tunities in local businesses and on local farms. While many employers tend to hire secondary school students, children as young as eight or nine years of age have, in past years, found jobs with farmers com- pleting glamourous jobs such as stone and strawberry picking. Placing your students in job oppor- tunities will be beneficial for all par- ties involved. Not only will employees appreciate the assistance of eager and enthusiastic students and your children enjoy the monetary rewards of their efforts, but, alas, you will once again enjoy the peace and quiet you've grown accustomed to during the school year! In closing, then, I urge you to con- sider what I have proposed. and. if you see fit, encourage your children to visit the office to register for possi- ble job opportunities. In this way. then, we can do each other a favour, for I will be able to satisfy the needs of many employers in the area. and you will be able to regain some of the peace and quiet you enjoy at other times during the year. Why not do it???? - Remember. it's free!!! The office, which is open from 8:15 to 4:30 is now located in the Centre Mall, 235-1711. Thanx very much!!!
