If all goes well, you'll have some fresh, tasty morsels on your plate in just six weeks. Watching carrots grow is exciting, and helping them along is fun. To grow carrots you need: • carrot seeds • shovel • trowel • rake Directions: 1. Dig a little poll of earth with a shovel to break up the soil. 2. Break lip clumps of dirt with a rake. 3. Make an inch deep row in the earth with a trowel. 4. Tear a corner off a packet of seeds and tap them into the earth. Don't worry about the seeds being upside down — they know which way is up. 5. Cover the seeds with a little bit of soil. 6. Water the seeds immediately, and whenever the soil looks dry. 7. When the carrot leaves are about 3 inches high, thin out the plants. The carrots you pull out will be very small, but they'll still taste good. Carrots need room to grow — so give each one about 2 inches of space. 8. Pull out weeds whenever you see them. 9. As the plants get bigger, water them less. Too much water makes them crack. 10. Pull out carrots as you need them for food. They last a long time in the soil. Enjoy!

By Rod Hilts On June 30, four Grade 8 students from Clinton Public School (CPS) will be travelling to Quebec to participate in the SEVEC exchange program. The exchange will be a true test of what the students have learned over a period of taking French for five years. According to CPS French teacher Flo Keillor, many of the Quebec parents are unable to speak English. Jeff Brown, David Andrews, Lori Colquhoun and Suzanne Walker will be four of 25 students from Huron County that will be involved in the exchange. The Society of Educational Visits and Exchanges (SEVEC) is a non-profit organization which develops and co- ordinates educational visits and ex- changes for Canadians, and arranges students' transportation. SEVEC was created by the 1981 merger of Visites Interprovinciales and the Bilingual Exchange Secretariat. The individual exchange is open to students between the ages of 8-18. Individuals must pay $85 each, which includes the cost of air fare. According to Damien Solomon, the French Coordinator for the Huron County Board of Education, 66 students from Huron County applied for the exchange. The 25 students, who were chosen from Huron County, were matched up with students from Quebec who had similar interests. The group will be in Quebec for two weeks and will bring their counterparts back to Ontario for a return visit planned on July 15. The four Clinton students will be placed in two areas of Quebec; Jeff Brown will be staying in Chicoutimi and David Andrews, Lori Colquhoun and Suzanne Walker will be in Saint Foy. Bill Stevenson, the Principal of East Wawanosh Public School and a couple of parents, Mrs. Agnes Aunger of Exeter and Mrs. Peter Watson of Woodham will escort the Huron County exchange students to Quebec. Jeff Brown summed up the students' reaction toward the trip by saying, "it should be exciting. We should learn a lot, the experience should help us in high school French next year." The students will fly from London to Quebec on June 30, arriving home on July 11.
