Misses Lyn Rae and Ruth Wal-

trip through the Inter -provincial

-Leaving London, they travel-
led by train to Chicoutimi, Que-
bec, where their selected fani-
flies met them at the station.
Miss Rae was guest of Monsieur
and Madame Edmund -Louis
Simard and Miss Wallace was
guest of Monsieur and Madame
E. Tremblay. The Simard fam-
ily is composed of .six children
with a teen-age daughter and
the Tremblay family has an
eleven -year-old daughter.
All the homes were new and
modern M this little northern
town in Quebec. The floors
were covered with beautiful
rugs, which are woven by the
mother on her hand loont<Ehe
girls enjoyed the meals.lerved
in these French homes; steak
was often on the dinner menu.
They found the language easy
to understand after a few days.
Madame Tremblay had studied
English at night classes and
could translate quicker than

met. They both- gained a better

must be ready in one year's
time, to start accepting the first
two grades. Construction of tlie
entire 'building must be com-
pleted by the spring of 1963. It
is expthed that this school, with
its equipment, will cost approx-
imately one million dollars, and
be fully operational in two years'
time. The school will have eight
classrooms, two laboratories for
chemistry, five business class-
rooms, six shops, gym and four
offices.
The school is to be built on
the premises of the Clinton Col-
legiate, and handled as part of
this school. Pupils attending
from"the other interested schools
will have transportation provid-.
ed for them, from their own
schools. The purpose of this
building is the advancement of
vocatienal work in Huron Coun-
ty, allowing pupils to gain edu-
cation in a line only previously
available in larger, centers. It
is believed that this is the first
co-op school of this kind in the
Province. There are several
other locations now considering
this plan in the advancement Of
educational facilities.

Lyn and Ruth translated with
the use of theirs dictionaries the
letters- from home,:so that their
hostesses 'and their 'families
could read them. The Frepch-
Canadian families were thrilled
and hope that some day soon
they can see the Goderich par-
ents and their _families.
Both girls accompanied their
hosts to church services which
were in French and Latin. They
were introduced to. the friends
of the French-Canadian families
as their "petite fille." •
Monsieur Sim.ard had a bake-
shop • in this ,small , town and
Monsieur' Tremblay worked in
the lumber business. Many of
the other men in the town work
in the large Arvida Aluminum
Company plant 20 miles away,.
'The girls Were given an op-
portunity to get together and
with their new,French-Canadian
one _afternoon at Chicoutimi.
They found the same chain
stores as there, are in any On-
tario city. Since numbers ate
the same in the French language
as in English, •the girls had no
difficulty with the prices of ar-
ticles for sale. They also en-
joyed tours through the lumber
mill, the large aluminum plant
at Arvida and the Ship -Shaw
Hydro Development Dam.
Both girls are looking forward
to another visit to Quebec. They
think thit when the French girls

TO AVOID TAX DELIVER

It appears that anyone who
tries to circumvent the new On-
tario Sales Tax by purchasing
inerchandiSe now and taking de-
livery on or after September 1,

retailers will be shocked ' to
learn that merchandise which is

To Air Curling Rink
Nospects, Monday
Renewed prospects for a curl-
ing rink at Goderich will be
aired at a meeting here on Mon-
day evening. It will be held at

8 p.m.
It comes as a result of a lic-
ense being granted to the Mait-
land Golf Club by the Ontario
Liquof License Board. This is
for sale of beer or beer and
But before the license is is-
sued, the Maitland -Golf Club
has to make certain alterations
to the clob house. - This will
inv,olve an expenditure of at
least $6,000. That's where the
prospective Goderieh .Curling
Club cnmes in.
The idea is now entertained
to make a joint Curling Club
and Golf Club house while
they're at it. So,- the meeting
Monday evening will go into
these details thoroughly.
Goderich is sorely in need of
a curling rink and it seems a
shame that a town of this size
hasn't one when just about
every other hamlet in the county
