The following sets of interviews were set up in Kincardine and all qualifying applicants in the district were to attend. District 633 is an area which covers from Meaford, Ontario to Flint, Michigan. There were approximately 40 students hoping to participate on the exchange. Prior to the meeting in Kincar­ dine, all applicants filled out a six-page form expressing their feelings about the exchange and what their plans and achievements for the future would be. They were also to tell about their towns, families, and personal back­ grounds. Pictures of hobbies, family, houses and pets were requested for the application and the forms were filled out in quadruplicate, making it a lengthy process. Some of the qualities looked for in the students were congeniality, average or above average marks in school, and warm personalities. The students were needed to be good ambassadors for their countries. Also on their applications the rank preference of 33 countries was to be stated. Stephen listed Ecuador and %ther South American countries along with New Zealand, but his choices quickly changed. Atthe Kincardineconference many presentations were made by return students and inbound stu­ dents (students presently partici­ pating in the exchange from other countries). After taking in these presentations, Stephen had de­ veloped a new interest in Scandanavian countries. HCBE leader in conservation education the He changed his most preferred coun­ try to Norway, and by Christmas of 1987 he found out his acceptance as a Rotary Club exchange student. In February he was informed that host families had been found for him in Norway. While in Norway, Stephen is to stay with four different families all situated around the towns of Grue and Kirhenaer. These two towns are very closely placed and togeth­ er have a population about the size of Goderich. He stays with his first family from arrival until Septem­ bers, when he moves on to his next family until December. He meets his third host family from that date until the beginning of March and then he’s off to the fourth and final family until early August when he returns home to Canada. All his families have children around his age and most of them have participated or are participating in a Rotary exchange. Stephen will be a final year student in the local high school with a student population of about only 300, but it is likely his first couple of weeks will be spent at a language school since he has almost no knowledge of Norwe­ gian. Communicating shouldn’tbe too much of a problem for Stepehen though as most people in his families do speak English, but he says he’ll insistthey speak Nor­ wegian as much as possible in order for him to learn their language. This will be the first time that Stephen has been away from home for a prolonged period of time. He says he thinks he’ll be too busy to miss his family and friends. He is going to try to involve himself as much as possible in their celebra­ tions and activities, but of course he’ll miss the people back at home a little bit. Here in Canada, Stephen is a member of various school clubs, one of his favourites being cross country. In Norway however, Stephen is told that there are no clubs at school. Instead there are sports and clubs offered by the communities. Stephen also plans tobeinvolvedina 16-daytour of Europe which includes East and West Germany, Czechoslavakia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. It will be costly but he is very determined to take advantage of the trip while he has the opportun­ ity- Many preparations and careful planning have gone into his trip, the main goal being to save money for the trip. A passport was required also. He shopped for Canadian gifts such as soap-stone carvings, T-shirts and spoons to present to his host families. Stephen telephoned all the different provinces’ tourism bureaus for information to share with the Norwegians. He recorded a lot of his favourite music along with our national anthem and the Olympic theme song “Share the Flame’’. Letters were written to M.P.’s and M.P.P.’s to obtain tiny Canadian flags and pins to trade and give away. He also obtained slidesofCanada. Stockpiling of film, contact lens solution and clothes was necessary because he has been told Norway is very expensive as a result of shipping costs to such a northerly country. Overall, Stephen is expecting a thoroughly great time. His goal for the exchange: “I want to become Norwegian for a year’’. Continued from page 14 recognized as an ongoing suppor­ ter and advocate of the conserva­ tion education program at the Wawanosh Nature Centre since it opened in 1984. In addition, the HCBE last spring sponsored a professional development day on the topic of outdoor education for 300 Huron County teachers, an event credited with greatly raising teachers’ awareness of environ­ ment and conservation education, and of the resources available to them. Walton Hall 50 years young Friday BY HELEN CRAIG AND JEANNE KIRKBY The white frame structure trim­ med with red, known as the Walton Community Hall, will once again have an orchestra on stage as it celebrates its 50th year in its present location. When Walton Hall is mention­ ed, many memories come to the minds of Walton and area resi­ dents, and plans are now well underway to revive some of the good times of years past. An old-time 50th Anniversary will take place on Friday, August 19, with a number of local groups taking part in presenting the entertainment. The Walton Sports Club will host an outdoor barbecue from 5 - 7 •p.m., a variety concert and local talent show will take place from 7:30 until 9 p.m., and the Walton Women’s Institute will sponsor an old-fashioned family dance, be­ ginning at 9 p.m. There will also be various displays depicting community events over the past half century, and organizers are asking that anyone with pictures or informa­ tion of Walton events of days gone by consider loaning them out for theday. Anyonewishingto take part is asked to contact local historian Jeanne Kirkby at 887- 6428 in Walton. All material will be safely returned. Walton Community Hall was originally built as a Methodist Church, before being purchased by the Orange Lodge more than 50 years ago. Realizing the value of a community hall, the hamlet of Walton purchased the building on November30,1938, and shortly thereafter moved it to its present site, on land provided by William Humphries. Whether you learned to dance, kissed your first beau, or gave a Christmas recitation at the old Walton Community Hall, you will be welcomed back with open arms to the festivities on the 19th. Mark your calendar, and be sure to be part of the celebration.
