They were returning the hospitality they had just received on an exchange visit to the western province. While the Ontario teenagers were in Saskatchewan for a week, they were taken to points of interest by their host families, and got together as a group at a dance where they were each presented with a • MEMENTOS - Zurich, display Saskatchewan 4 -Her Wanda Jesse (left) and hostess Sharon Thiel, some of the souvenirs of their 4-H exchange. grab-bag of goodies donated by townspeople and local businesses. Each received a white plate depicting Saskat- chewan's emblem the prairie lily in bright orange, a souvenir spoon, a paper knife, pens, matchbooks and other mementos. The 30 4-11ers all flew back to Ontario together. During the second part of the ex- change the 30 had a tour of different farming operations in Huron County and a visit to the Bruce nuclear plant, a trip to Canada's Wonderland, an afternoon picnic and games at Benmiller, and a judging demonstration and farewell get-together at Clinton before the visitors took off for home on Tuesday. After visiting the village of Medstead, Saskatchewan, (population 250) 16 -year-old Sharon Thiel returned to her family's dairy farm north of Zurich accompanied by her recent hostess, 15 -year-old Wanda Jesse. Sharon had toured a grain elevator and a Hutterite colony, where she had been very impressed with the amount of large, modern farm equipment owned by the commune. She visited a dairy farm and watched 115 cows being milked in a milking parlour. (Her father milks 40, and not in a parlour.) Wanda, a member of a homecraft club in Medstead, was amazed at the size of Lake Huron. She noted the bigger Ontario barns, with boards going vertically in- stead of horizontally like the ones in the west, our hotter climate, and the close prox- imity of one town and another in Ontar Ontarian io. Janet Hoggarth, 16, and her new friend Janice Sim, 15. voiced their impres- sions of Frenchman's Butte and RR 2 Kippen while Janet's older brother 'Greg and guest Les Hanson, 15, also compared notes. Janice's father raises An- jou cattle, and Les lives on an 800 -acre mixed farm at St. Walburg, Saskatchewan. All agreed there is a big dif- ference between western and eastern roads. Those in the west are narrower, gravelled, and have deep ditches on each side. Janet commented on the number of trucks on the rougher Saskatchewan roads, far outnumbering the cars, and Greg was impressed with the many trees lining the roadways. The easterners saw their first gopher, and much more wildlife than here, as nor- thern Saskatchewan still has a great deal of rough pasture, wooded areas, and sloughs (mud holes surrounded by trees and brush). Remarking on the amount of tile drainage he had seen in Huron, Le» said 200 acres of bush remain on his family's 800 -acre farm. "And you guys pick pebbles that we would ig- nore " he added. Janice pointed out that no corn, beans or targe quantities of cucumbers are grown in her home province, and she has finally seen a real maple leaf on something other than Canada's flag. She also detected a more nasal.ac- cent in Ontario, citing the pro- nunciation of her own name. and the word "land" as two examples. Janet believes there is a better relationship within families in the west; they are drawn more closely together because of the geographical distance between neighbours in rural Saskatchewan.

He couldn't believe his eves as he watched 80 bushels wheat per acre being taken off a neighbouring farm. That is double the average western yield of 40 bushels where he lives. He said Ontario farm operations are ahead of those in the west, where the hay harvest is on- ly beginning now. Other eye-openers for the young westerners were plastic milk bags, the number of males wearing earrings here, and the size of Malton airport. In his opinion Canada's Wonderland is just as good as California's Disneyland. On his trip west, Al had been impressed with the huge combines he had seen on a Hutterite colony, and the two swathers and baler for the big round bales on the Kuypers farm. He noted the difference in the price of land in the two provinces; in Saskatchewan bush sells for $200 an acre and broken land for $600. Those figures would have to be at least tripled for Ontario. Al had attended the Lloyd- minster fair, "much like Ex- eter's", with the addition of farm machinery displays and chuck wagon races. The Ontario 4 -Hers com- mented on the number and size of western mosquitos. "I think they raise them" Al said dryly. The westerners found the heat wave in Huron comparably unpleasant. However, for both easterners and westerners, their stay in another province was an en- ;cyable and educational experience. The exchange was spon- sored by Open House, Canada; through the Ottawa 4-H council, which paid all air fares. In Huron County, in- dividuals and businesses which comprise Friends of 4-11 funded the Huron -Bruce tour, and paid most of the costs of the visitors' day at Canada's Wonderland. Keith and Phyllis Tyndall were chaperones for the dura- tion of the exchange, and hosted the farewell party on their RR1 Clinton farm. 7 4-H EXCHANGE - Janice Sim, Saskatchewan, (left) Janet Hoggarth, Kippen, Les Hanson, Saskatchewan and Greg Hoggarth gather round the Hoggarth's table to look at some of the literature from an exchange visit between Ontario and the west. Les won the big stuffed dog for Janice at Canada's Wonderland. it/en If you missed this column last week. it is because most of us need a change of pace and scenery, if not a holiday, at some time during the year. The July birthday party was sponsored by the ladies of Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall. Residents having birthdays during the month of July were Mr. Noah Jantzi, Mrs. Alice Webb and Mrs. Oriole Westlake. The pro- gram and refreshments serv- ed by the ladies of the church were very much enjoyed. Gifts were presented to residents having birthdays. courtesy of the Blue Water Rest Home Auxiliary. We regret that Mrs. Agnes Sillery is presently in a Lon- don Hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery. We are hap- py to have Mrs. Mary Spacek back from St. Joseph's hospital, London. Would all members of the Blue Water Rest Home Aux- iliary please note that there will be a business meeting at 8:00 p.m. at the Home on Tuesday evening, August 2.

Tickets are available here or from any member of the auxiliary and the draw will be made at the Zurich Bean festival. Proceeds will be for resident comforts. The latest addition to the Home, courtesy of the Ladies Aux- iliary, is the hairdryer replacement for the beauty shop. I am sure residents will find this one much more com- fortable than the old one.
