Tim found working as a for- ester‘s assistant. cruising for re- generation study for the Abitibi power and paper mill at Smooth Rock Falls an interesting ex- perience. Food was all right, but rather on the plain side, he said. Over half the camp workers were French Canadians. Tim found it difficult conversing with them with only his high school French. However he found a German chap who could speak some English with whom he could carry on some conversa- tion. Literature in the camp wasn't of the type Tim liked, to read. However, Mr. Grew kept him supplied with books during his stay in the north. Tim likes the outdoor life. The last two summers he spent work- ing on farms. Tim. who stands over six feet and is not afraid of hard work, feels he has earned a two week vacation before start- ing his Grade 13 studies at Aur- ora and District High School in September.
