Meecham returned to Grand Bend two weeks ago after spending almost one year in Australia with three different families, including Miss Kelly's. Mis"s. Kelly- has been in Pen- sytvania, United States since January and is visiting Miss Meecham this- week. Both girls were sponsored by the Rotary Club. "The Australians lead a slow, easy life. They could give you all day. Nothing seems -to bother them," says Miss Meecham. - "Everytine-is going so fast het e," says Miss Kelly. "It. seems everybody has to buy more and get more. It seems money is the big thing." Miss Meecham attended grade 12 at a state girls' school while she was in Australia•'and found the courses difficult. "The education was more advanced. They were about two years aheadNof what we have and there wasn't any extra activities," said Miss Meecham. - Miss Kelfy found the op-- pas-de p=posite true of education in North America. "R is a riot. It is so easy -- and free. I attended an•all- girls' _.boarding school in Australia and it was com- pletely different.

"It was incredible. .The coldest I had ever been was about 50 degrees and it was below zero. It was just in- credible." Language was another problem.
