Nous sommes
Here we are back again after a very interesting
and busy four day trip to Quebec City and Montreal,
Anyone wishing to keep on the go and see the
historic sights of our great country should go with a'
group of grade eight students, Their stamina is
tremendous.
We were able to keep up throughout the jaunt even
up and clown the many hills in Quebec City. Actually,
our job was to trail on behind and see that everyone
was in the party.
We had plenty of practice in counting to 31.
Seriously the Usborne Central students were a great
bunch to be with and they were certainly a credit to
their school and community,
When we left our tourist home in Quebec City, the
landlady said that was the best and quietest group she
had encountered. She didn't know how much talking,
prodding and endurance was necessary td achieve that
behaviour.
Anyone that has never visited Quebec City should
do so. It's a quaint and historic city and "that's where
Canada really began,'
Before anyone gets the idea that it was just.a great
big holiday with meals in exquisite French
restaurants, let's set that straight.
The, trip was paid for by the participants
themselves,
Some of the costs were lessened by several fund
raising projects by the students.
The students took notes throughout the trip and
each evening were required to complete a diary of the
day's activities and these were marked by the
teachers before retiring.
Two of the meals during the trip were at.
MacDonald's another three at cafeterias in Laval and
Montreal universities, a roadside lunch, a rural
French plain eating place and a bus stop cafeteria.
We will eventually get around to some of the spor-
ting aspects of the trip, but, the Citadel and Jacques
Cartier's boat replica are worth mentioning.
On the first morning in Quebec City while out look-
ing for a newspaper about 7:15 we ran into a group of
students from Aurora.
After finding their origin out we were asked by a
teacher, "Where are you from?" Our reply was,
"north of London, actually Exeter."
She returned with, "Heavens, I went to South
Huron District High School for five years." It was
Judy Wales. formerly Judy Ross. Her father was
Squadron leader Joe Ross who was stationed at RCAF
Centralia for a number of years.
Jpdy now teaches French in grades four to eight in
Aurora and was on a similar school trip to Quebec. In-
cidentally there were to the best of our knowledge 23
school trips in the Quebec capital at the same time.
Judy Ross mentioned living with Glenn and Mary
Fisher for sometime and mentioned fellow students as
Marilyn Marshall, Marion Lamport, Bob Fletcher and
Bill Batten.
She also asked about former rec director Doug
Smith who now holds a similar position in Ridgetown.
Aside from the historic points of interest the
highlight for this writer was the visit to Olympic Park
in Montreal. Certainly the most eye catching structure
in the entire complex is the Olympic Stadium which
covers a total surface area of 725,000 square feet.
The rising tiers of seats on seven levels can handle
crowds of up to 80,000 depending on the activity going
on. The entire stadium playing surface is covered with
artificial Astro turf which can be removed from the
Tartan Olympic track in hours. The pitcher's mound is
also portable and can be moved in and out.
During the winter, a giant skating rink is main-
tained on the stadium playing surface, Open to the
public from December until mid-March, the rink is
enjoyed each winter by more than 1,000 skaters.
It may be interesting to note that it took 525,000
cubic yards of concrete to build Olympic Park along
with 40,000 metric tons of steel and 139.8 miles of steel
cable.
The most daring of the facility is the Velodrome
shich in addition to cycling is used for countless ac-
tivities. Without a cyclist in action, it's almost im-
-possible to imagine how a bicycle can make the high
curves at the ends of the velodrome.
Thursday afternoon, the velodrome was being
used for an international flower show with exhibits
from 22 countries. We were able to view the show for
only a few minutes from high in the velodrome, but, it
was a beautiful sight. So were the prices of admission
to the flower show. A mere $15.
Quarter horse show
Thea3th annual Mid-Western Quarter Horse Show
will again by sponsored by the Exeter Saddle Club and
held at its new Huron Park facility on Saturday, June7.
Over the years the quarter horse show has proven
to be the largest annual breed show in Western On-
tario. It has consistently received a Class A rating
from the American Quarter Horse Association.
Last year's show attracted a total of 381 entries -
242 adult and 139 youth from all over Ontario as well as
Michigan. Ohio and New York.
We will have more to say about the upcoming show
in this space next week.
Mitchell honoured
Despite a very disastrous season a member of the
Lucan-Ilderton Jets was named rookie of the year in
the Continental Senior 'A' hockey league.
Hugh Mitchell, a resident of Exeter received the
Dick Tourangeau Memorial Trophy as the best first
year performer.
Mitchell, known as the Purina Flash scored 20
goals and added 19 assists for the baSement dwelling
