Wisconsin 4-H ers visit near Brussels
if
[by Debbie Ranney)
Connie Dahl found five pin
bowling a unique experience and
Marilyn Garrison thought Huron
County had neater roadsides than
her home county of Lafayette,
Wisconsin when the two girls
visited near Brussels on a 4-H
exchange.
Both girls are from Darlington,
Wisconsin, a city of about 2,500
people. Connie stayed at the
home of Cathy Boneschansker of
R. R. #1, Ethel and Marilyn at'
the home of Darlene Raynard of
R. R, #2, Bluevale.
Huron and Oxford County got
together and with Lafayette and
Green County, Wisconsin
organized a 4-H exchange.
Guests from the United States
stayed here from July 1 to July 6
and the Canadians will stay in
Wisconsin from August 1 to
August 8. About 41 U.S. 4-H'ers
were scattered around different
homes in the two counties.
While in Huron County, the
4-H guests from Wisconsin were
treated to a picnic, a tour of the
court house in Goderich where
the warden of Huron County
Gerry Ginn, agricultural
representative Doh Pullen and
clerk-administrator of " Huron
County Bill Hanly spoke to them.
They also had a tour of the Huron
County Pioneer Museum,
attended a picnic at Ball's Grove
and were treated to a tour of
Centralia College.
Cathy took Connie to play five
pin bowling--a new experience for
Connie who was used to 10 pin
bowling and a ball with finger
holes. She described it as more to
hit, with more to hit with. They
also played a game of tennis in
Ethel.
If there are differences in the
farming methods in Huron
County compared with where she
lives, Connie hasn't noticed
many. Connie lives in the city, but
she's still a 4-H member. Connie
once lived in a house on a dairy
farm, owned by someone else.
The only differences Connie
really noticed was that land in
Wisconsin was a bit more hilly,
and she thought the stooking of
hay was unusual.
As for other differences in the
Canadian way of life, Connie
thought the words running shoes
were unusual because in the
States they only call them tennis
shoes and she also thought the
way Canadians pronounced Mom
made it sound more like Mum.

The Boneschansker farm is a
dairy farm with about 46 cows
which operates on a milking
parlor system and Cathy carried
on with her morning chores of
milking cows or feeding calves
while her guest was there but
Connie herself hadn't checked the
barn out at the time of the
interview.
Different 4-H
There are some noticeable
differences between 4-H here and
in the U.S. In the U.S. they can
join at the age of nine and can
take as many projects as they
want whereas Canadians can take
pre-4-H when they're II and just
do one project, join 4-H when
they're 12 and can only take a
maximum of six projects a year.
In Darlington Connie is taking
projects in home economics,
photography, gardening, home
furnishings and flowers and
plants. This is where there's
another difference. Where the
4-H'ers from the U.S. can come
here just because they're in the
4-H, the 4-H'ers from Canada
have to be participating in an
agricultural project.
The girls also toured the cheese
factory in Milverton and got some
samples of cheese and were
planning to go to Niagara Falls
later in the week.
GRACE NETHERY
Grace Nora Nethery 57, of
Belgrave died Tuesday, July 4 at
the Wingharn and District
Hospital following a lengthy
illness.
She was born in Southampton,
daughter of the late John and
Rose Yule. She was married April
5, 1955 in Exeter to Gordon
Nethery who still survives her and
was a member of the United
Church.
She is also survived by two
children, Mrs. Betty Lou Bough
of Edmonton, Alberta and Wil-
liam Nethery of London; four
sisters, Mrs. Jack (Dorothy)
Brodie of Goderich, Mrs. Bert
(Florence) Washburne of
Sebright, Mrs. Stewart (Margaret)
Holden of Kitchener, Mrs.
Morley (Ida) Neilson of Mount
Forest and two brothers Lorne
Yule of Fergus and Sidney Yule of
Calgary, Alberta.
Funeral services were held at
the S.J. Walker Funeral Home on
Thursday, July 6 with Rev.
Wilena Brown of Bluevale of-
ficiating. Burial took place inthe
Brandon Cemetery at Belgrave.

of London, Kenneth Yule of
Guelph, Gordon Copeland of
Elora, John Gottschalk of
Goderich, and K and Murray
The thing Cathy noticed about
her 4-H exchange guest was that
she didn't have an accent. On
previous exchanges she had been
in Ohio and Pennsylvania and
there they had an accent, she
said.
Connie also noted that some
things were a lot more expensive
in Canada than in the States,
noticeably licence plates which
there only cost about $18.
The Boneschanskers gave
Connie a memorable gift
representing. Canada--a plate
with the emblems of the
provinces around it and that
Canadian symbol in the middle--a
Royal Canadian Mounted Police-
man.
Half Dairy
Marilyn lives at R. R. #3,
Darlington, Wisconsin on a half
dairy and half beef cattle 150 acre
farm. They also have pigs as well.
Her host Darlene lives on a beef
farm with 200 acres of their own
and 100 acres of rented land.
They also grow corn and barley.
Marilyn did notice some
definite differences from the
farming in Huron County and the
farming at home. She said that
their corn crop was taller and that
they had already finished with'
their first crop of hay at the time
of the interview.
Black of Belgrave. Flowerbearers
were Andy Nethery and Dianne
Nethery of Belgrave and Howard
and Teddy Copeland of Elora.
IDA GALBRAITH
Mrs. J. H. Ida (Bowman)
Galbraith of Willowdale, formerly
of Brussels died Tuesday, July 4
in, her 91st year.
She was the daughter of James
and Sarah Bowman of Brussels.
She is survived by one
daughter Mrs. William Bredin of
Willowdale and was pre-deceased
by her husband John Henry
Galbraith of Brussels, two sons
Bowman Galbraith Q.C. of
Toronto and George Galbraith of
Wingham as well as two sisters
Mrs. Vina Scott of Lindsay and
Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler of
Goderich and one brother Bob
Bowman.
The late Mrs. Galbraith is also
survived by five grandchldren
and 15 great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Galbraith was a life-long
resident of Brussels, was an
active member of the Melville
Presbyterian Church, and took an
active interest in the community.
A private service was Thursday
July 6 with burial the same day
at the Brussels Cemetery
conducted by Rev. Ken Innes.
It's a lot hotter down there
than it is up here, too," she
added.
Canadians also have different
names for farm machinery than
they do, A harvester is called a
chopper, a cultivator is called a
chisel plow and a forage wagon is
called a chopper box.
Marilyn does morning and
night chores helping with the
milking. Darlene on the other
hand doesn't have much to do
right now because their cattle are
out on grass.
AU Tours
Marilyn and Darlene had been
on all the tours with the other
4-Hers and for their own
entertainment went swimming in
the Bluevale dam , went for a
drive around Wroxeter to see the
different parks, went into
Listowel and toured the Campbell
Soup Factory, went to the park in
Listowel and at the time of the
interview they were roller skating
at the arena in Brussels. Marilyn
thought the arenas here were
much bigger than theirs.
Marilyn is enrolled in eight
clubs, including sewing, foods
and nutrition, home furnishings,
arts and crafts, child care,
conservation, animal science and
food preservation. Darlene is in
the calf club which means she has
to train and show a calf at the
Brussels fall fair.
For some Canadian souvenirs,
Marilyn bought a Toronto Blue
Jays T-shirt, some small
Canadians flags, posters,
stickers, postcards and other
things.
One thing Marilyn did notice
about Canada was the high price
of gasoline which she said could
be purchased in the States for
between 60 and 70 cents a gallon.
Asked what she is looking
forward to about her return trip to
the U.S. Darlene said, "think. I'm
looking forward to the amuse-
ment park. From what I've heard
about it, it's pretty good. I'm
looking forward to the whole
trip."
This will be the first exchange
trip both of the Wisconsin girls
have ever been on. Marilyn said
her reason for wanting to come
was because of what she had
heard Canada was like--all snow,
really really cold and she also
expected to see a lot of horses
(with mounties seated on top of
them).
Not Cold
She was surprised when she
got up here to find that Canada
wasn't cold, it was really nice and
very much like Wisconsin.
Darlene wanted to participate
in the exchange because the idea
of going some place else instead
of staying home all summer
appealed to her and also because
she likes meeting new people.
She also jokingly added, "1
think it gives Mom a rest."
When the Cartdians make a
return visit to the U.S. they will
probably attend a polka dance,
visit the Great America--a big
amusement park and the House
on the Rock among other things.
The 4-H'ers from Canada will
be visiting their counterparts in
the U.S. from August 1 to August
8. The payment system works
differently for the two countries.
The Canadians will be paying $30
of their own way and the Friends
of 4-H will pay $30. When they
come back they must write an
essay on their trip so the Friends
of 4-H can see if it was
worthwhile. The 4-H group from
the U.S. had to pay $59.50 and
the rest of the $80 fee was paid by
the U.S. Friends of 4-H.
