Mrs. — Please turn to page 9 It's good to be back home in Exeter but it was a marvelous experience" enthused Miss Carolynne Simmons as she re- turned last Tuesday after almost two months spent in Mexico under the "Experiment in International Living" program. Each of the nine Canadian young women, who accompanied Carolynne on this project lived with a poor family in the village of Gualupita for three weeks, spent two weeks with a Mexican family in the city of Toluca and spent the last week in the city of Mexico. Carolynne was more fortunate than some of her associates in that she had taken classes in Spanish at SHDHS. Now after living in the Mexican homes she has acquired the Spanish "ac- cent" and talks like a real Span- ish senorita. Carolynne lived in a one- room adobe home with her adopt- ed father and mother and 11- year-old sister in the poor vil- lage of Gualupita. The 15-year- old son of the family stayed with relatives during Carolynne's stay. The home like other homes in this poor village had a mud floor, a charcoal stove, home- made furnishings, one electric light, no telephone, no drainage or sanitation. Each of the 10 host families built a rudimentary latrine before the girls arrived. Carolynne's family kept sheep in the hills just beyond the vil- lage and made their living by knitting garments for sale. The wool from the sheep was washed in the not-too-clean river near the village and Carolynne said it was a common sight to see great skeins of wool hung up to dry. They used it in its natural color off white, grey, brown or beige or dyed it in brilliant colors. Some carry the weekly work of their own families to Mexico or Toluca; others wait for city buyers who visit at regular intervals. Carolynne felt she ate well while with this poor family al- though she rather suspected they ate better during her visit than ordinarily. They grew corn and used the ground corn in different ways. Her "mother" felt her up- bringing had been neglected be- cause "here she was a young woman of 20 and could not make a torilla yet". Carolynne did ac- complish this tricky feat even- tually. A torilla resembles a wafer-thin pancake made with un- leavened cornmeal. They a r e made fresh for every meal and are used as holders for other foods as they use no cutlery. For breakfast each one had an egg, coffee and fruits. The coffee was very strong and was usually served with twice its amount of hot milk. Fruits include limes, bananas (six different kinds) avo- c ado s, melons, grapes and apples. All stores close from 1;30 to 2:30 when the noon meal is eaten leisurely and the third meal is served late in the evening. The Mexican housewife shops every day as there is no refrigeration. Carolynne said uAt first I re- coiled as I saw the meat hanging in the open shops with dust and flies in abundance but I soon became accustomed to it. The meat is always tender when eat- en for it Is cooked a long time.” Although Carolynne included shorts in her wardrobe she did not dress in them for the Mexican women never wore them. They would never appear in shorts and very very seldom in slacks. 7044,t Mrs. Nora Sylvester has sold her home on Sanders St. E. to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lovell, RR 2 Kippen. Mrs. Sylvester and Judith left Wednesday to make their home in Sarnia. Mrs, Eric Cars- cadden has taken Mrs. Sylves- ter's position as receptionist with Dr. M. C. Fletcher. Mr. & Mrs. William Batten and Scott spent the holiday in Burgessville with Mrs. Batten's parents, Mr. & Mrs. George Pearson. Mr. & Mrs. William Pollen have moved to Milton where the former is on the High School teaching staff. Beginning in September the Rev. Hugh Wilson, town, has taken over the pastoral duties on the Belgrave charge. Cpl. and Mrs. J. Z, Maillet and family have returned home to Camp Borden after spending their holidays with Mrs. Maillet's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Melvin King and other relatives and friends. Mr. Jack Doerr returned Thursday from a three-day course in photographic oil paint- ing held in Chatham. Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Nash of Hinsdale, Ill. visited with the forme r's grandmother, Mrs. Martha Smith. Mrs. William Mullen and Les- lie of Woodstock were weekend guests of Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Taylor. Mr. William Wright accom- panied by Mr. & Mrs. W. S. Patterson of Parkhill and Mrs. W. J. Robinson of West McGilliv- ray spent last week at the Patter- son cottage at Lions Head. They called on Lou Woods of Stokes Bay Friday evening. Tourists in the district appeared as oddities in shorts, slims and fussy, frilly dresses. For the first time this year work was included in the "Ex- periment" program. During their stay in Gualupita. the Canadian girls assisted by village natives whitewashed all the houses on the main street numbering over 100. This work completed ahead of schedule a garden was built around the main municipal plaza. Bull ploughs broke the soil and many hands working together dug, shifted and built up soil into a raised garden supported by many, many stones painted yellow, green and red. These were the gift of the school children, brought from all, over the vil- lage. Paths of red gravel and small trees with the Mexican and Canadian flags in the middle completed the garden. The people of Gualupita were never hurried, for their concep- tion of time was non-existent but it was not an idle village. At five or six in the morning when city people are still asleep, the villagers were washing wool — in backyards hanging It on long poles in the sun or spreading the unspun wool on the dry earth selecting for color and quality. Women and girls scrub their clothes on a flat stone near the one faucet which serves ahouse- hold. In spite of their poverty the villagers were never sad they love fiestas (parties) singing and dancing. One of the group of Canadians had a birthday there and on that day hurried mes- sages (felt rather than heard) flashed from one home to an- other and from street to street. Rain spoiled the outdoor fes- tivities but they all came — there were as many outside in the rain as inside the small house. Ta- males, a bottle of wine, a large brightly-iced birthday cake, mu- sic and songs of Mexico and Can- ada, laughter and friendship made a happy occasion. LIFE IN TOLUCA Life was quite a change with Carolynne's family in Toluca. Her parents here were well edu- cated and had a large white stucco home surrounded by a wall. They enjoyed all the ameni- ties of city life. There were seven children and two Indian servant girls. Both parents worked — the father was professor of microbiology and worked hard holding down three jobs. "Scientists in Mexico were poorly paid" he said. By Ameri- can or Canadian standards he should have been wealthy for he worked hard. The mother held a Now is the time to start planting your EVERGREENS If you need help with your planning, we like to assist you. 4( 4( -4( ROSE BUSHES in peat pots in ground easy to lift $2.00 Assorted Colors Reder's Florist 235-2603 special secretary's job. "Although I have not Visited many cities I thought Mexico a most beautiful place with its urban planning, wide, wide av- enues with trees and flowers in the centre, gorgeous fountains, parks, temples and cathedrals", said Carolynne. She visited the Museum of Archaeology and was so interested that she went back a second time and plans to study the pre-Spanish culture further. What has been achieved more particularly by the young Cana- dians' visit to Gualupita? A street painted and a garden laid by people of two nations working to- gether. But there is something much more important. A group of young people have learned, by living some of the problems fac- ing the poor. They will look at Canada's poor — at the problems of the poor of the whole world with greater understanding for they have lived among them in- timately as a member of the family. "I shall never forget Gualupita. They opened their homes and their hearts to us and, of the little they had, they gave us everything. I hope this affection will not die but change into hope and enthusiasm. This "experi- ment" has shown that a warm heart and willing hand can con- quer much of the misery and fear which divides the world", was Carolynne's comment as she re- called her summer spent in Mexico. Miss Simmons is a member of the Toronto township teaching staff this year and has already commenced her duties. lea In Mexico two months As Miss Carolynne Simmons (left) worked in the poor village of Gualupita, Mexico, whitewashing the homes on the main street her "mother" (right), with whose family she lived for the three weeks, brought her pill and medicine to her and was very kind to her.
