Peter Stajgis of Poland stayed Seaforth with Bob Fisher and Sandra Smithers. Peter and Janis Bisback hosted Lenka Kucerova, a team from the Czech Republic. For their 16th summer of exchange students, Don and Kittie MacGregor welcomed Orsi Petrak from Budapest, Hungary. These three students became great friends and travelled many places together. Kittie explained that their son-in- law, Shawn, is of Hungarian background, his father having been born there. Consequently when reviewing the list of students wishing to come to Canada, they invited Orsi. During her stay with them, the MacGregors look Orsi to Port Rowan where they all who with Shawn's grandmother still has a A Healing Touch was was the title of Rev. Cook's message to those gathered at Londesborough United Church. Mark 7: 24 - 37 was the chosen Gospel reading. Those verses are an account of how Jesus healed a young girl, possessed by a devil, and a deaf- mute man. The responsive psalm of Psalm 125 speaks of the security of fantastic grasp of the Hungarian language. Orsi was 18 years old and according to her hostess, a charming young lady. Along with Lenka, Orsi journeyed with Don on a two-day truck run throughout Ontario. On another occasion the two girls and Peter went to Grand Bend with one of the Bisback sons and stayed overnight in Hensall. A visit to the Seaforth veterinarian clinic was a highlight for both Orsi and Peter. Peter hopes to be a doctor and Orsi, a veterinarian. Both were interested- to watch operations on some dogs that day. A day shopping suits any girl and Orsi did just that in Cambridge one. day and toured St. Jacobs Market as well. -On the other hand she also apparently enjoyed the Fergus truck show and watching a truck pull. Liz MacGregor played tour guide for a long day in Toronto which included a visit to Chinatown. Orsi took charge of the menu one evening and served the MacGregors Israelites would find in faithfulness to God. Sunday school classes reconvened on Sept. 10. Londesborough United's official board will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 19 beginning at 7:30 p.m. The congregants of Londesborough United and Auburn Knox will hold a joint service at a traditional Hungarian meal of potatoes, sausage, egg, onion and cheese. There were 17 students from 16 countries visiting in District A9 and they all came together for a week at the Youth Exchange Camp, founded by Charlie Shaw of Blyth in Kingsbridge for a week. While there the young folk made side trips to places of interest in Sauble Beach, Goderich, Wingham, Toronto, Stoney Creek, Owen Sound and Niagara Falls. Also they spent overnight at the guide dog school in Oakville, a special interest site of the Lions Club. Don and Kittie were councillors at this camp for the week. Lions clubs from Londesborough, Blyth, Auburn, Wingham, Goderich and Ripley were among the groups preparing meals for the camp. Most of the students met for a day at Canada's Wonderland following the camping week. Tearful goodbyes were said at a get-together in Port Elgin at the Ball's Chapel on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 10:30 a.m. Special music will be offered by piper John Jewitt, violinists Marshall and Ethan Dumin and a quartet from Londesborough United. A time of refreshments and fellowship will follow the service. Auburn United will conduct a Sunday school program. student home of another councillor. Orsi returned to Hungary on Aug. 2. The MacGregors can't imagine a summer in which they didn't share our part of the world with a student. They note that all of the countries share similarities and differences but the students bring a wonderful sense of it being ' a small, small world. They would recommend hosting to others and invite anyone who might be interested to talk with them about the experience. - Apparently one does not need to be a Lions Club member to host a student. Kittie remarked that the month is always super busy but rewarding. Londesborough Happy Gang Seniors held their monthly card party at the community hall on Friday, Sept. 8.
