Interculture Canada, the coun- try's leading international student exchange organization, is looking for students between the ages of 15 to 18 to join their "ambassadors of friendship" for next year. The organization places students in over thirty countries around the world, in all continents, for a year of schooling. Through Interculture Canada, high school students can enjoy the unique and rewarding adventure of studying abroad, This not-for-profit organization specialized in intercultural learning is presently concluding its Canada- wide search for students interested in meeting the challenge of living and studying in any one of over 30 countries around the world. "Ambassadors of friendship" seems a fitting term for the stu- dents, according to Art Cornelisse, an active Interculture Canada vol- unteer in Kanata. "Essentially", he explains, "these youngsters are involved in breaking barriers. By living with a host family and attending a local high school, their experience moves, step by step, toward total immersion into a new society. It's an apprenticeship whose benefits Student exchange a chance to really see the world last a lifetime." Departure dates reflect the school calendar of the host country. For southern hemisphere countries such as Thailand and many of the Latin American countries, depar- ture can be as early as February. For European, Caribbean and African destinations, departure is set for next summer. In both cases, students are urged to submit their applications by mid-December. "Our partner countries need time to ensure program quality," says Cornelisse. "Finding a suitable host family, taking care of school enrollment and ensuring the pres- ence of a volunteer counsellor for the student are all part of maintain- ing that quality." Participation fees are all-inclu- sive and may be compared to the amount often spent on an adoles- cent over an 11-month period. For financially disadvantaged families, assistance is available. Interculture Canada is part of AFS Intercultural Programs, the world's largest intercultural exchange network with over sixty- five member countries.

Tannen aint cEacon By Alice Scott Sorry to have missed last week's column, but I was in Montreal attending the United Kennel Club show, the largest show held in Quebec. Unfortunately, the earthquake occurred during the show which was quite alarming, especially when the lights go out, the floor Starts shaking, 2,000 people start screaming and 800 dogs start howl- ing. Proper nutrition is important to a puppy from the day he is born. If the bitch has milk problems or refuses to nurse her puppies, you must make sure they are fed a for- mula suitable to dogs. Many people make the mistake of using regular cows' milk, which can cause many digestive problems and diarrhea. If you are faced with this dilemma phone your vet and they will advise you of the correct formula to use. The first ninety days after wean- ing is a rapid growth period for your puppy. Therefore the need for a good quality food is important. Page 3, News, Wednesday, December 7 , 1988 Don't treat your puppy like a dog, give him puppy food Puppies have small stomachs and should be treated in the same way as a newborn child. A puppy of seven weeks, the ideal age for a puppy to leave its litter, should be fed three meals a day. Most breeders provide new owners with a basic diet and will have suggestions for the type of food you should buy. But if you are just getting a puppy from your local S.P.C.A. or a friend you can purchase any well established puppy food. Purina Puppy Chow, Science Diet, Jams, Technical and No Name brand are a few of the most commonly used products. Something else you can look for is any food that has the "Canadian Veterinary Association" certificate seal showing that the food meets the nutritional standards. Many No Name brands carry this seal as well as being economi- cal. Vegetables such as raw carrots, are a good supplement for your puppy. It's much easier on the pup- py's stomach than a steak bone. Unfortunately, puppies die every year from chewing on steak, beef, pork or chicken bones. A puppy doesn't need any type of bone except maybe a "Nylabone" which you can purchase from any pet store. Raw hide bones are also avail- able at pet stores and local grocery stores, but you much watch your puppy doesn't choke on these bones. Don't allow your puppy to play or exercise after eating. Don't allow him to have water immediately after eating, wait at least an hour since some puppies can get bloated if they drink. Don't give your puppy milk, it is a major cause of diarrhea and your puppy receives more than enough vitamins, calcium and minerals from his food. At six months your puppy can be put on two meals and by one year on one meal. Larger breeds, such as Labs, should be left on two meals a day. Feeding twice a day helps alleviate digestive problems.

The Township of Terrace Bay, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Natural Resources have approved of this disposal method. The fire is expected to be ignited on or about December 8, 1988 and will be supervised to prevent hazards on the surrounding area. As a matter of information, our environmental construction project is on schedule and expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1989. We are also modifying the mill's pulp bleaching process to reduce the use of chlorine. These improvements are the results of comprehensive technical studies by Kimberly-Clark employees over the last year as part of our continuing pro- gram to develop better environmental control systems. When completed, these projects and other projects completed in the past five years will have significantly reduced the environmental effect of the mill's process discharges. These discharges will be able to meet Ontario's "fish survival effluent toxicity test"--which even Toronto's chlorinated drinking water cannot meet. Best wishes for the holidays from your friends and neighbours who work at Kimberly-Clark of Canada Limited, Pulp and Forest Products Operations.
