(Staff of City visitors involved in haying rescue operations Haying was the urgent order of the day during the past week as the student exchange program under the department of agricul- ture and food continued in this area. Nine Toronto area students were guests on Wingham area farms: Some of the worst haying con- ditions in a good number of years made it imperative that what hay could be salvage. be brought in whenever th•, '6ther gave a chance. So it was that every farm visited by the photographer was tied up in the haying operation. Greg Osaba of the Moore .Park district of Toronto was taking farming seriously at the farm of Russell McGuire, RR 2, Wing - ham: His first taste of rural life •appealed to him' very strongly. He hopes to make it a career later and get away from the city which he considers no proper place to litve. His family had come some years ago from British Columbia.

As part of the Urban - Rural Exchange Programme, farming families host a child from the city and in exchange families in the city host a child from a farm. This gives an.idea of the difference in living on a farm and the city. My hosts are Mr. , and Mrs. Russel Fear and their children, Rosemarie, Murray and David Of RR 2, Wingham. I hope to enjoy my stay and that more families would become hosts as part of the exchange pro- gramme in the future.

Annie Horbal of Toronto was having a real, ball, mixing cherry eating with haying. She was rid - ing the hay 'wagon along with Mrs. Telehus who was driving one of the tractors, and Lee Grove, Lorna, Frances, and Brent Telehus, not forgetting the family dog Spike.

Curah of Gorrie. The pool and facilities will cost an estimated $30,000 and are just the first phase of a long range program which aims at providing recreation facilities or improving existing ones in Fordwich and Wroxeter; depending on what the needs of those communities are at the time. Announcement of the major program in last week's paper met with an enthusiastic reception by many residents of the area and the club has been. greatly en- couraged by the support offered to date. It is planned to obtain an illustration of the proposed pool and facilities in the near future for publication, so the project can be visualized as it will eventually appear on the site to be chosen soon.
