At the Studio at North Street and ° Caledonia Terrace. Despite rainy weather which • prevailed for about 'half Of the sessions, the would-be artists crowded the halls and classrooms. Over seventy-five registered, Many participated in all six instruction, periods, each morning and afternoon of the three days. Visitors included `interested' -people from Listowel, Parkhill, Bayfield, Seaforth, Toronto, summer residents *from - -•-surrounding-cap m =and -beach,> - areas, and loeal residents. It was interesting to note how easily the nine and ten year-olds were able "to learn the basic skills of silk screening and batik, working out their own free -form designs. Older teen=agers found this creative work more difficult and. were more inhibited and ,could not use the media as,easily. This was particularly so, when it came to the sessions of painting using the quick -drying acrylic paints on canvas. . The adult members of the Art Club were thrilled to have the opportunity to try so many types , of art work, and a chance to use all the proper equipment for the activities that this, Trek . presented. It opened .new fields • for expression fend, design for future endeavours. • The two instructors, ' Mrs. Mieke' Jacobs, a graduate of the Sheridan School of Art in Mississauga,` and Phil Sybal from H:arbord'Collegiate central Technical School and The • College of Art in Toronto, were wonderful patient, 'interested, explicit, and, excellent teachers in all media and able to cope • jwit i •atl" Tevelsall ages rot-tlte - artists present, from eight years to eighty..; "The Provincial Department of Community and Social Services is to be commended and encouraged to continue such projects which send this' type of art instruction to our communities," said Mrs. Beryl 'Harper. "Perhaps, the art instruction in. our own local elementary and secondary schools will reach this high level of accomplishment, some day. This session fulfilled a need for those who attended and participated in Art Trek. It was a satisfying, exhilarating weekend for all." -°N, `tq b 'Over -to -Wed In-thegeneral confusion. and enjoyment of the g, up engaged in the various activities of wood and lino cutting, print-inaking, painting, etc., was the team of Bryna Gordon, a movie projectionist, and Donald • McQueen of Toronto, who were preparing a movie documentary of Art Trek. • they coped with tricky lighting, hunting electric outlets for their spotlights. Hoards of children and adults, often oblivious of them, wandered about, stepping 'on cords and dodging light standards. These two arrived Saturday afternoon and continued shooting the activities until .the end on Sunday at 5 p.m. "Perhaps someday the department of Community arid Social.•Services will release this complete film from its, files, and the Art Club may view it, and relive this fabulous training session, which was free to the piblic through the efforts of the Goderich Recreation committee, and the Goderich Art Club, and the government of Ontario", concluded Mrs. Harper.

We left CMS in Clinton Friday August 11 at noon in a bus that took us t� the ;.CNR station in Ottawa. We had met most, of the other Young Voyageurs at an orientation meeting in June, but many of us weren't familiar with our escorts - 'Mr. and. Mrs. Jim Coulter, who replaced Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Ackert of Wingham. The train from Toronto reached Ottawa Friday evening., We stayed in the capital city two nights at a University Residetrce"'which-was occupied - with various other Voyageur groups from Cowansville, near Montreal, Nova Scotia, Hamilton, Ontario, the Yukon, and British Columbia. Each day we saw a new part of Ottawa; the various embassies, the home of our Prime Minister, shopping' malls and of course, the parliament buildings, Peace Tower and changing of the guards. A dog helped the guards while we were there! Another surprise was the music that accompanied the guards - the band played "Honey". We travelled to °Montreal on a bus with twenty-three other Young Voyageurs' from Cowansville. Theywere returning from Calgary - this ' fact easily recognizable by their white Stetsons! Our hosts and hostesses met us as'we stepped off the bus into a French world! I had been to 1VIOntreal before; but had stayed mainly in the downtown area where most people are bilingual,„ of course, to our advantage. The . Young Voyageurs from Montreal for the most part, spoke English better than we spoke French, although some people spoke no English • at all! it was rare to find a bilingual • ,so everyone just was patient . and we tried and usually suceeded'to communicate. In my host family only the girl and her father spoke a bit of ialt: Re cath eralid4-e'� Wre able - to eomlmunic*te , though tres lentemente with my weak french, a dictionary and aign language! The french we learn at school helps if the people speak slowly so we can make' out each word they are saying. Monday we visited Montreal and Radio Canada. tie "saw them, at 'the latter place, producing "a show, Here, was also one of the ships used on the television series D' Iberville.,. This ship, only two feet in length, was put in a vibrating pool and thus television viewers thought it was travelling across a stormy sea! • .. M>ost-- -o'f .=Tbl�e�'�gi�ls.-,.•.a�vent_rt_ shopping. Tuesday, as it was our free day. We usually went as a .group so that . the English Voyageurs coulcfhave a chance to talkl All of our travelling .' in Montreal was done by bus and subway. The people on these transportation vehicles never seemed to notice a group of twelve or so Voyageurs when they broke into a rousing chorus of ,`Give Us a Place -to Stand." Place Des Ans,Air Canada, and the University of Montreal were among those places we visited on Wednesday. At Air Canada we. learned about the training of pilots and stewardesses; were taken through a plane and introduced to the various gadgetswithin the plane. ' Early next morning we Ieft for Quebec' City on a bus with our Montreal hosts. We ate at Laval University, saw Montmorency Falls, ' then toured the oldest part. of the historic city. That evening we slept in a seminary (where Monks live) in Quebec City. Near the seminary was a pool which we really appreciated! The 'weather had been beautiful = warm and Gunny. The students in Montreal said that before our arrival. it had rained continuously. We really enjoyed Quebec City. It is much more beautiful and clean than Montreal. It has s:• `:pard- *hitt' = 'reiaiin led u's s`ol� Ottawa. On Friday we visited»Quebec provincial parliament. Here; also we ate dinner, looking very much at home. We left ,Quebec City at 6:30 that evening and returned Oto Montreal. The next two days were unscheduled so our hosts and hostesses took us to La Ronde, different parks •and beaches, to their cottages and various other places of interest around their city. On the first Tuesday in Montreal we were • officially welcomed by M. Masse- the organizer of the, Young Voyageurs in Montreal, 'and renewed, aQuebec-flags The Montreal ;hosts' and hostesses were given Ontario flags arid penants,and the escorts Mr. and Mrs. Coulter and M. and Mme, Tanguey exchanged large flags. Monday morning we boarded a DC9 and left Montreal airport. at 2:45. Everyone 'enjoyed the plane ride though it was brief and we boarded a bus at Toronto' which took us to Clinton. We emerged dinging from the bus; a„ group of boisterous noisy friends. So many aspects of our venture can't be recorded on paper -- They are feelings' and memories that only . we the. Young Voyageurs can understand' - memories , that will remain with us. ' Mr. and,Mrs' Coulter, our escorts enjoedcthe trip as much as we did, .and by their presence made it grinchmore enjoyable for 'us The=;S?oung Voyageurs from this area ,are: Jayne Niblock, of Parkhill; Sandra Stock of Huron Park, Carol -Adams of Wroxeter; Janice Ballantine *of Mount Brydges; Janet Bishop of Wingham; Marikay Hodgins of , Centralia; Cheryl Kennedy of Seaforth; Diary Ann Glithers of Kerwood; ' Lola de Beer, of Granton; Carole Cruickshank and Susan Freeman' of Goderich.
