(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Auburn Lions host students Since July 3, the Auburn Lions Club has been hosting two Lions International Youth Exchange students— one from another province in Canada and one from another country. Valerie O'Leary, 17, of St. John, New Brunswick has been staying with Fred and Laura Lawrence of Auburn and this is her second trip to Ontario. Huberta Miklitsch, 21, of Vienna, Austria, has been staying with Walter and Nancy Marchi of R.R. 5 Goderich and this is her first visit to Canada. Both girls will return to their respective homes on August 6 with many happy memories of their month long stay in this area. They have seen Canada's Won- derland, the CN tower, the Science Centre, Niagara Falls and two plays, one in Grand Bend and one in • DON'T LIKE THE FIGURE IN THE MIRROR?

During the second week of their visit, Valerie and Huberta attended a week- long camp in St. Marys with 50 other exchange students from Districts A-9 and A-15. Besides the host campers, Valerie was the only Canadian in the group. The others represented all parts of the world. Valerie, who will be graduating from high school next year and plans to attend college, says she hasn't found a great deal of dif- ference between Ontario and her own province. "I live right on the coast so I guess the main difference would be that I wake up to quite a bit of early morning fog, while here it is clear in the mornings," she says. Valerie's father is a Lions Club member and he told her about the exchange program. She applied and was quite surprised and pleased when chosen to take part. She says she has en- joyed herself a great deal and would like to visit Ontario again, maybe as soon as next year. Huberta, an economics student at Vienna Univer- sity, says she finds that the greatest difference between Canada and her own country is size. "Austria is a small country with lots of moun- tains. Everything here is so big and flat. There is so much space. It is immense." She • also says that in Austria, the main meal of the day is eaten at noon and that the day is broken into a very fixed schedule for all meals and coffee and tea hours. In Canada, she says, there is much more fast food and convenience food, than in Austria. "In Austria, our housewives are always in the kitchen fixing big meals. The husbands expect it.': Although Huberta speaks excellent English which she learned in school, her host Lion, Walter March! also happens to be a native Austrian so the two may converse in their own languageas well. Huberta's father is a Lion and Huberta herself belongs to the Leo Club. Huberta says she would like to visit Canada again one day. Both girls say they found everyone to be very friendly here. They also say that they were kept so busy, they had no time to become homesick. They have made many friends and plan to stay in contact with them. They conclude by saying. "We would like to thank our host families and all the Icons Club members for being so good to us." You can't get into swirrlming if you can't get into your swimsuit.
