Preparations are well underway for the 10th annual Canadian International Farm Equipment Show, Canada's foremost agri- business showcase. As Canada's largest indoor farm equipment show - the theme for the upcoming show in 1996 is appropriately "Growing Together for 10 Years". More than 50,000 qualified agricultural buyers are expected to attend the upcoming show to commemorate the show's 10 year milestone. The CIFES gives commercial farmers the yearly opportunity to see the newest technology available for the upcoming growing season. "The majority of exhibitors from the 1995 show have already signed Student Travel Schools is looking for volunteer families to host 10 students from Australia and New Zealand. The students, ages 15 to 18, will be sharing their lives with Canadian families while attending local high schools for five or 12 months beginning this January. Being a host family means opening up your home and way of life to a teenager from another country just waiting for the chance to live and learn with a Canadian family. Host families provide meals, accommodation, supervision and care during a student's visit. All of the students are fully insured and are responsible for their own spending money and clothing allowance. "Hosting is especially beneficial in opening the eyes of children you may have at home to the world beyond their own backyard. It can reinforce their interest in other countries and cultures", said Julia Lubczynski, who heads up the STS office in Canada. The Belgrave Kinsmen will develop the site as a park. Fall is here again and with it comes the 47th Annual Fowl Supper. The supper originated in 1949 and each year over 1,000 people sit down together at one time for a traditional hot turkey supper. The whole community contributes time and food to make this supper a huge success. Last year was another great year realizing a profit of just over $5,900. The proceeds go towards the operating costs of the Belgrave Arena and Park and sponsor minor sports throughout the year. Without the fowl supper these areas might cease. Tickets are available at the local stores. It is held at the Belgrave Community Centre Wednesday, Oct. 4, 7 p.m. up for space, many of whom have supported the show since the beginning in 1986" said Show Manager Lesley Nicholson. "We anticipate the show will be sold out within the next few weeks," she added. New exhibitors wishing to participate in the 1996 show are encouraged to contact show management soon, since available space is extremely limited. Exhibitors planning to launch .a new product or service should take advantage of this excellent marketing opportunity. The 1996 Canadian International Farm Equipment Show will be held from Feb. 6 to 9 at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Road, Toronto. The students participating in the program chose Canada for its friendly people and beautiful natural areas. The students will be arriving in mid January and returning home at the end of December. Lubczynski said an effort is made to match students and host families with similar interests. "Each student is very different, and we spend a lot of time trying to match students and families with similar interests" said Lubczynski. STS is a non-profit organization that started 30 years ago in Sweden. The organization's goals are to build understanding between peoples of different countries and cultures. Today, STS has offices in 13 European countries, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada. The Canadian head- quarters of STS is located in Waterloo. Anyone interested in becoming a host family or studying abroad, can contact Julia Lubczynski at 1-800- 265-5316.

BBA members hear about agri-tourism Can Huron County's number one industry, agriculture, combine with its number' two industry, tourism, to create more economic activity in Blyth and area? Those attending the Blyth Business Association's (BBA) Fall Dinner on Oct. 16 will find out. Kelly Nicholson, co-ordinator of the agri-tourism program in Perth County will speak at the meeting. Operated with the support of Tourism Stratford and local agri- cultural groups, Perth Agri- Tourism promotes and arranges tours of participating county farms by bus tours and individual fami- lies. In its second year the program has arranged 18 motorcoach tours of farms. Each tour participant pays $5 per farm, half of which goes to the farm operator and half to Perth Agri-tourism. The program has several goals: to keep tourists in the area longer so they spend more money in Perth County, and to help give non-farm people a greater understanding of modern agriculture. Anyone, whether a member of the BBA or a non-member, is wel- come to attend this meeting. Tick- ets are $12 for members, $14 for non-members and are available at The Citizen or Carol's Candies. • Boys, ages 10 - 14, are generally more physically active than girls of the same age.
