These were the two things that most impressed the two girls from Texas here on the Lien's club exchange, Dolores Higgins, 17 of Whiteface Texas, and Georgia Thomas, 18 of Taboka have been in Exeter staying with Lion's club families now for 5 weeks. - Although they have seen a lot and done a lot more since they first talked to members of the .T- A staff, they still remarked on the same two things as those which impressed them so much about Canada. "Everything is all green, compared to home," Georgia said, "It's just beautiful. We LUMBER AND BUILDING SUPPLIES Green trees impress Texas gals don't have near this many at home." And they are still fascinated by our two-storey houses. Both girls remarked several times that the houses here were so big. They hadn't been to one home which didn't have stairs and that was unusual to them, most of the homes in their area of Texas are one floor and "all sprawled out." Both girls said that they were enjoying our hot Weather, but that it was much hotter in Texas, They were not quite so pleased about the rain we have been having but, Dolores said, "The people at home would like us to pack up some rain and take it LOOK FOR THE BIG ORANGE BUILDING 14 11-11:111SEVIEIEA('IS, Economy PRECUT STUDS EACH 55' trees with us, it is so dry there," DOlores and Georgia have stayed with several different families during their stay. They said that they enjoyed all them families that they had been with; each one was a little different and took them to different things. "We have been lucky to be with good, active families who went out of their way to show us a lot Of stuff," Dolores said. They were most impressed with the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. The girls attended a performance of "Love's Labours Lost" with some of the Lion's couples and came back filled with excitement over the play itself and the theatre grounds. "There are a lot of people at home who would really like to see something like that," Georgia said, "especially my English teacher." Georgia thought that canoeing was the only truly Canadian thing She had done since she came. That was something she had never done before and she liked it but was a bit scared when she fell out, She went canoeing while visiting with the Ron Cotrell's at their cottage near Lindsay, They have been horseback- riding and have done a lot of swimming, "More than I have ever done in my life,v Georgia said. However they feel that they haven't really seen much of Canada. "We've mostly just been in the area, living the everyday life of the people who live here" Georgia said, "but it wasn't supposed to be a tour." When asked if they had learned much from the people in the area or about themselves, from their stay here, the girls agreed that things weren't much different here than at home, The kids their age were interested in the same things as those in Texas. Georgia noticed that the young people here wore blue jeans a lot more than they did at home so she had her mother send her Levi's up. When they came, they listed dating as one of their hobbies and they had a chance to do that while they were here ton. They had met quite a few young people their own age through Some of the kids they had been staying with and had time to take the occasional trip to Grand Bend. Dolores said that everything is so clean here that "people must really stick together" in trying to keep, the town looking good. She also remarked that the farms in the area were kept SO neat, Dolores. and Georgia . didn't agree with another girl who is on the same exchange from Texas, and was the subject of recent articles in the London Free Press. The girls said that she had exaggerated, Georgia said that contrary to what Pat said, they didnt need airplanes to get around their farms, Georgia's father has a 1200 acre cotton farm and uses a truck to get around it. "She was trying to make Texans sound really big and the people here sound really small," ,and Dolores and Georgia didn't think that that was fair at all. They said they.felt she had made a bad impression for the Texans on the exchange and hoped that people wouldn't think they were all ,like that. The girls have been busily taking pictures of everything they have seen and done and of the families that they have been staying with. When they get back to Texas they will have the best ones made into slides and will give slide shows for several of the local clubs to tell them a little bit about what Canada is like. After her trip to Australia, last summer, Georgia, gave seven presentations of her slides to, clubs near Tahoka Texas. The girls said that they have had a great time while they were in Canada and hope to be able to return some time. "There is so much of Canada that we haven't seen." They will be meeting with the other Texas exchange students in Blyth before they head back home on Saturday July 13.
