USE POST WANT-ADS' DIAL 887-6641 A Urban-Rural Exchange is on again in Huron. Now in its third summer. The program off4rs an opportu- nity for twelve to fifteen year olds from farms and from cities to live in and learn about the other environment. In a typical exchange, an urban child will spend one week on a farm, followed by a week-long visit with the city family for the rural boy or girl. With the goal of increa.sinr; understanding between urban and • rural families, each visitor will participate as a member of his or her host family, taking as much part as possible in that family's normal activities of the week. Hopefully the urban child's first-hand experience as "a far- mer's son or daughter" and the farm youth's week as a "city dweller" will help make them and their families more tolerant and knowledgeable of the other life- style. In this way, the pro- gram is both an opportunity to learn and to teach - a chance to find out the, other's point of view as well as a chance to show him how you see things. Transportation for the four sets of exchanges in July and August is arranged by the pro- gram co 7 ordinators, and both the excha.ngees and the host families are insured against accident and liability. Application forms for both urban and rural participants will be available in local schools and from the program co-ordinator in the county Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office. The co-ordinator for Miron and Perth counties is Dianne Fines. Urban-Rural Exchange, spon- sored by the Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, is one of the Experience !73 programs to pro- vide employment and alternatives to employment for young people in Ontario.
