WHITBY FREEPRESS, WEDNESDA YAPRIL It's T uesday and at 6:30 this morning 1 dropped number one son off at Anderson Collegiate in order that he could hop a chartered bus to Pearson Alrport. You see, he is one of 25 young men at the school that is travelling to'Kamloops, B.C., for a week's visit. It's part of a cultural exchange initiated by the federal gover- nment, the basis of which was that the lads fromn B.C. spent a week in this part of the woocls earlier this month to get to know how their Ontario peers lived and acted. Personaily, I tbink the program is an excellent one which wlll pave the way for better understanding among those Canadians who'live in different parts of this vast land. But the whole- thing got me to thinking. There is somiethig drasticaily wrong here. Over the years, hubby and I have been waiting for the time when the two kids were old enough to leave so that we could do a bit of travelling. Here they are, ages 19 and 14, and were stili waiting. Meanwhile, the lad has heen globe-trotting here, there and everywhere. Across the pond to England, Wales and France twice, to varlous parts of the province, and now to B.C., and ail through school activities. There's just no justice left in this world. Even, the young lass has an excitmng graduation trip Splanned to the Niagara Fails area in June as she leaves the halls of Meadowcrest behind. I admit that my Gr. 8 graduation class also had a trip to 6VIE WPOINT by ROXANNE REVELER NO TIME TO TRAVEL Niagara Falls in celebration of the end of childhood. But I mean, we spent most of our time on a rickety, bouiicy old school bus travelling Wo and fro ail in one day. As far as my memnory serves me, we had about two hours to do our thing. The year now being 1987, the grads of today wiil spend two days In the honeymoon capital of the world and will stay in a hotel. It just isn't fair. And I ask myself why today's kids seem to see more of the world than their parents do. The answer is more than likely because they also seem to have more money to spend on themselves than their parents do - another unfair situation. The saying "lYou're only young once" is obviously true. But the way my pair gad about, I'm wondering if they aren't going to be dead of -exhaustion before they reach 30. That, of. course, is a facetious statement. They won't be. It's just the jealousy shmning through. J1 was born with a touch of gypsy blood in my veins. Well, okay, a lot of gypsy blood in my veins. I love to travel and usuaily have the suitcase out of the closet to pa ck before anyone can finish the sentence "would you like to go to... " It's because I really don't care where I'm going, as long as I go somewhere. The only place I might draw the linéis Lebanon, but then again ... you neyer know. Could prove to be interesting at that. I'm not a contest-enterer. I do, however, faithfully fUil out every billot offering a trip to somewhere. I've neyer won. Not even a free trip to downtown OshaWa (imagine the thrill of winning that one), but you have to give me an A in my efforts. No one should really be feeling sorry for me. 1 have tra- velled extensively in the past, and enjoyed every second of it. But thething that ýgrates on me is that now the kîds are older, and I should have more free time to-indulge ini my one extravagance, I have less time than Ilever did before. 1 just can't explain why and it's driving me nuts. I'm starting to think it's all part of a Commie plot. At least that's the way it looks tome. Stud-ents malke theiir own job "If the job's legal, we'll dOit."' So say two local entrepreneurs who have chosen to go into business for themselves rather thian relying on someone else to provide them with work during the summer mon- ths. The two are Steve Chad and Grant Reveler. Like most of their peers they need a summer job to provide them with the money to further their education. Reveler, born and raised in Brooklin, and Chad, a resident of Whitby until recently are both Grade 13 students at Anderson CVI. Both have worked for firms based in Whitby over the past few years, but this summer they have decided to go it on their own. Last . week, they registered Revko, their own company, which they hope will serve them well during their years in university. Reveler will, be working towards a master of science degree and Chad hopes to follow in his father's footsteps pursuing a career in the RCMP.

The flowers were vibrant and contrasted with the Easter lilies ahl showing the touch of Mary Housego. The ladies of the choir rendered an anthem and Lucille Pilz sang a solo. The Jerry Stachow family had dinner with Jean's mother in Orillia. Mrs. Homne enjoyed having her whole family home for Easter. IL was a family reunion at the Housego home and Myrtle ap- preciates the participation of the young people in the Easter ser- vices. The community regrets very much the decision of Ethel and Stan Nottingham to move from their home to a smaller place in Bob- caygeon. It's been a long time and the Nottinghams are going to be missed.
