I FINISHED
HIGH SCHOOL
But had no idea what T.
really wanted to do.
However, I found the
answer for me was a
program offered by
Conestoga College, call-
ed, "General Arts and
Science," — a sort of
"breathing space," that
helped me become or-
iented. Won't you join,
me?

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

vide employment and alternatives
