Retired Australian farmer Justin
Walsh says he finds it hard to get
used to seeing so mem; farms with
no fences. "We can't do without
fences over there."
, "Over there" is• Northam in
Western Australia, about 60 miles
from Perth. Mr. Walsh is visiting
Canada and is the guest of Ross and
Mary Procter of Morris Township.
• He laughs when he thinks of what
would have'. happened. on his sheep

single strand of electric barbed wire
he has observed on most of the
farms herein Ontario.
Fences aren't the only difference
Mr. Walsh has found in his travels
across Canada — including a two-
day trip to British Columbia with
Mr. Procter and neighbor Jack
Wickstead where he saw the
Canadian Prairies for the first time:
"My knowledge of Canada in
general has been taken from novels,
but when I got there I discovered it is
not just the way I, had imagined."
For example, 'he said, he never
thought there would be trees, and
was, surprised to see the many rows
of trees planted as windbreaks.
Another trip toward Eastern
Canada illustrated other differences
between- this country and his own.
"We travelled through Toronto,
Quebec and New Brunswick, and
went through 400 miles of first class
country," he said. "Beautiful land
and beautiful scenery, you don't do
that in Australia."
Emphasizing that he only
describes the area in which he lives,
Mr, Walsh said a similar trip there
would find you were tragelling ,
across hundreds of miles of send -
desert. "But it's a different
climate."

Procters treated Mr. Walsh to a
performance of "My Fair Lady" at
Stratford.
Seeing it live, on stage for the first
time — "I'd seen the movie" — was
a delightful experience, he said. "I
thought the staging was excellent,
the stage management was exciting,
and the whole thing was first class."

and the small piece of: electrOinc

entire play "clear as a bell".
He jokingly "blames" Mr. Procter
for his being in Canada. Retired and
living in Perth, he was host to the
Procters when they were touting
Australia "and Ross thought it c
would be a good idea if I came over s
here," Mr. Walsh says.
