Canada doesn't seem like a
different country, but the farms in
the Seaforth 'area are quite
different from the farms around
her home in Pennsylvania. That's
the reaction of Amy Rose, 18, who
stayed with Vanda Storey in
McKillop last week as part of a
Huron 4-H exchange visit.
Canadians are great and it feels
a lot like home here, Amy says,
but she's surprised that more
local people don't speak French,
"since part of your country is
French." Amy, whose mother is
French, speaks it, along with
Italian and German.
Few of the farms in Amy's area
of Pennsylvania are run by full
time farmers. "There's not
enough money in it," she says.
Most farmers, including her
father, work full time for the steel
mill in nearby Butler.

An Open House at the Home during Senior Citizens Week
' was quite successful with 390 senior citizens registering.
The residents appreciated the visitors very much as it gave
them an opportunity to see many of their friends. Many
thanks, to the Hurobview Auxiliary who were responsible for
the registration and to all of the residents and staff who
helped in so many ways during the week.
The Brussels Friendship Club had dinner at the Home on
Friday and joi ned the residents for an afternoon of Bingo.
'Fifty members of the Seaforth Happy Citizens Club visited
the Home on Saturday and after dinner sponsored an
afiternoon of games. Mrs. Elizabeth Scott won the prize for
tlie eldest lady euchre player and John McCallum was the
winner for the men.
Dick Roorda led the Sunday evening song service
skonsored by the Clinton Christian Reformed Church.
The Clinton Centennial Band played for a concert on the
laWn on Family Night. The weather cleared just in time and
many of the residents were able to be outdoors while those
who were inside were able to see and hear the.band from the'
west windows. Mrs. Storey is the new leader of the band and
wish her every success in this very helpful project in any
community.
Amy 'agrees that Canadians
know a lot more about her country
than -she does about Canada. In
her school system, which is
nationally known for its excel-
lence, she's had intensive
language classes, starting with
conversational French in Grade
three and has studied other
countries, but not Canada.
Amy's graduating class is more
than twice as big as Vanda's
whole school - 1013 compared to
about 420 in all of S.D.H.S.
She says she's always wanted
to, come to Canada and hopes to
come back again. She starts
college in the fall, in Meadville,
Pa., and will study either
communications or pre-law; she
hasn't decided which yet.
The Pennsylvania visitor
always wants to live on a farm and
hopes to have her own horses
eventually. Live in a city? "I
couldn't stand the noise," Amy
says.

Amy, who comes from a
200-acre horse farm near the
small village of Connoquenes-
sing, says though the climate and
the people are similar here, the
kinds of farming are different.
There's little cash cropping in her
area, about 40 miles north of
Pittsburg. People grow corn, oats
and hay, but for their own use.
There are quite a few apple
orchards, and beef cattle grace
the hilly land.
"You need a few more hills
here," Amy jokes. Her hosts,
Vanda's parents, Frances and
Everett Storey, "tried to show me
some hills" but they're not big
like they are in Pennsylvania.
She's noticed that Huron towns
seem cleaner and better kept than
cities at home.
Amy's home area doesn't have
the land• use regulations,
designed to keep land in agricul-
ture, that Huron has. Her father
can sell off an acre at a time to
someone who wants to build a
house. Trailer parks are more
common around the countryside
there than they are here too. At
the Storey's farm in McKillop you
can stand still and count about 11
Silos on the horizon. That just
isn't possible where Amy comes
from. She says she could see four
silos at the most.

13 at SDHS, Will be ilri dki fig a
