Agriculture exchange student tries dairy. farming USBORNE TOWNSHIP , On Friday. 20 -year-old Julie Banks of Nem, Ztaland completed a seven- month work exchange at the dairy farm of Joe and Nancy Vink. Through the International Ag- ricultural Exchange Association, Banks is experiencing her first ex- change, which includes visiting friends in Seaforth, Sarnia, London and possibly Hamilton before she leaves for England next week to complete her trip on a mixed farm- ing operation. She hopes to work with horses during the next seven months of her exchange. The highlight of her visit in Huron County came when she rode horses near Dashwood and took Western riding lessons. Dairy farming was Banks' third choice on a list of four choices. Her challenging agricultural work with the Vinks included feeding and milking stock. She has experience working in a zoo but the Vinks have provided her first dairy farm- ing experience. Banks' IAEA $9,000 round -the - world trip included a three-week trip with 40 other exchange stu- dents to the United States in July. She also met a New Zealand ex- change participant in Lucknow who will be placed near her in England. With IAEA there is a Denmark exchange student staying in Sea - forth and a Ukrainian student in Us - borne Township. IAEA has existed for at least 20 years, providing work experience for single in- dividuals up to 30 years of age. Banks said she'll miss the people she's met on her trip, especially the four children of the Vink house- hold. "I've met a lot of really close friends," she said, adding, "It's a good chance to get out and look at a different country and different type of farming."

Water supply shut off during twinning project CREDITON - The Crediton backup water supply from the Kirk - ton wells couldn't keep up with de- mand after the Lake Huron pipline was turned off for a twinning pro- ject during the weekend.
