Aubrey Campbell, 19, a coun- sellor at a YMCA camp at Nor- val, and Marcus Wright, 20, who was at a Sherwood Forest camp near Minden, are youth leaders in this permanent year- round camp for 600 underpriv- Hleged Jamaican boys. The camp, operated by the Jamaican welfare ministry, is the brainchild of George Cad- bury of Toronto who some years ago was an economic adviser to the Jamaican government. The campers, who range be- tween 15 and 20, belong to the, Jamaican age group with the | highest incidence of unemploy- | ment. During an average 18-| month stay at Cobbla they do six months of farming, since it is hoped many will return to the} land rather than drift into the city to swell the ranks of the jobless. MAY LEARN TRADE They also are given an op-| portunity to learn a trade such | as mechanics, bakery or tailor- ing. Some of the tools come from Canada and some courses are given by U.S. Peace Corps volunteers. Two members of the Ca- nadian volunteer organization, Canadian University Service Overseas, are at Cobbla.

Each speak- er had a different approach to the subject, each one was nearly equal to the other in con- tent. The difference was only in presentation, pronunciation and enunciations. Ruth Morgan, and English Major from Newfoundland, won the contest with her speech -- "Alcohol in the Balances'"', Her sincere presentation, her direct- ness of approach and forceful- ness of appeal awarded her top honors and the right to repre- sent Kingsway at the National Oratorical contest at Southern Missionary College, Collegedale, | Tennessee, JUDGES NAMED WO" Other speeches were made but they were not in the con- test; Harry Pawly introduced the program; F.

Jim, in charge of a group of boys, helps with a literary pro- gram and the camp choir. Dave }is more active in sports. Both are involved in production of the camp magazine. "In a-place like this where we're short of staff and gaps always have to be filled,"' says camp director Owen Batchelor, "the volunteers' adaptability and versatility has been their greatest contribution." The two Jamaicans went to Canada under an exchange scheme. "I think I learned about boys in general,' says Aubrey Camp- bell, son of a carpenter. "I liked the Canadian attitude to- wards work; they. go about in a businesslike way. "In Jamaica, our attitude is a bit tardy. I believe I now can show our boys why work is im- portant and draw _ references from what I saw in Canada." PAY 75 CENTS Marcus Wright, who comes from a country district and whose mother died when he was only five, says he learned two new skills at Cobbla--operating a movie projector and welding. What impressed him most in Canada was the outlook on ed- ucation. It seemed to him that each individual was expected to continue his education as far as possible so as to be able. to make a contribution to the coun- try. The boys, who live in 12 50- bed dormitories, keep a long day. Up at 5:30 a.m., they whip up an appetite before breakfast by doing the cleaning chores in the camp. Most of the day is spent on work projects followed by sports. Lights out are at 9:30 p.m. Campers are paid five shil- lings (75 cents) a week, of _|which one shilling goes into compulsory savings. They are given one set of work clothes and another for Sunday wear. Plans now are being made to expand the camp's activities For Perfect 10% KING STREET WEST Teen Dances R. B.
