Mr. & Mrs. Ian Brussels Meecham, left,AUSTRALIANS found Australians to be easy going and friendly while she spent a year down under on a rotary exchange trip. Diane Kelly with whom she stayed, is in North America on a one- year exchange trip and is visiting Tracey this week. T-A photo EASY GOING — Tracey Life in Australia said to be relaxed The way of life in Australia is more easy going and relaxed than in North America, unless you happen to be a student. That is the conclusion of Tracey Meecham, Grand Bend and Diane Kelly, Australia. Miss. Meecham returned to Grand Bend two weeks ago after spending almost one year in Australia with three different families, including Miss Kelly’s. Miss. Kelly has been in Pen- sylvania, United States since January and is visiting Miss Meecham this week. Both girls were sponsored by the Rotary Club. “The Australians lead a slow, easy life. They could give you all day. Nothing seems to bother them,” says Miss Meecham. “Everyone is going so fast here,” says Miss Kelly. “It seems everybody has to buy more and get more. It seems money is the big thing.” Miss Meecham attended grade 12 at a state girls’ school while she was in Australia and found the courses difficult. “The education was more advanced. They were about two years ahead of what we have and there wasn’t any extra activities,” said Miss Meecham. Miss Kelly found the op­ posite true of education in North America. “It is a riot. It is so easy and free. I attended an all- greatest thing of all is that there are no uniforms required,” said Miss Kelly. The difference in climate was a shock to both girls. “The heat in Australia used to make me very sick. It didn’t bother them, they just slowed down,” said Miss Meecham. Miss Kelly had never seen snow before she came to United States. When her plane landed in January, she was caught in one of the worst blizzards of the year. “It was incredible. The coldest I had ever been was about 50 degrees and it was below zero. It was just in­ credible.” Language was another problem. “A lot of words the Americans use have dif­ ferent meanings. The accent was hard to get used to,” said Miss. Kelly. Visit museum Times-Advocate, August 3, 1978 Page 19 Creditor!

When they went into the old general store, now a museum and library, in the tQwn, the lady in charge recognized them and found among her store an an­ niversary gift for them. They made a nostalgic return to the cottage once owned by Mrs. Pierce’s father on Lake Rosseau, and, after marvelling at the crowds during Midnight Madness in Huntsville, spent the night in the Empire Hotel there, the hotel where they had spent their wedding night 25 years before.

Bell, time Hen- APPLICATION TO PARLIAMENT THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF EXETER Notice is hereby given that the Corporation of the Town of Exeter intends to apply to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario for Special Legislation to provide that: 1. An Act respecting the Village of Exeter, Statutes of Ontario 1899, Chapter 47 is repealed. 2. Village of Exeter By-Law No. 8, 1899, Being a By- Law to provide a fixed general mill rate for farmland in blocks of not less than 20 acres is repealed. In 1899, the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Village of Exeter set a fixed rate of three and one-half mills on the general mill rate, together with rates for debenture debt, school and county pur­ poses. The relief was granted to owners of farmland in blocks in excess of twenty (20) acres for such ser­ vices as electric lighting, fire protection, sidewalks etc. Assessment and mill rates have changed over the years. Some properties assessed as farmland have residences attached, enjoying these services that exemption was granted for. Council of the Corporation of the Town of Exeter deem this fixed rate for farmland no longer equitable or fair. By applying to the Provincial Legislature for the Act and By-Law to be repealed will cause the owners of the said parcels of farmland to be subject to full general municipal mill rate (including debenture debt), as well as the rates for school and county pur­ poses.
