tions. They included dairy, sheep other
farms.
The group was also given an opportunity
to tour cities and outlying communities as
well as the rural districts. While on the
farms they did basic chores along with the
host families. Each stay varied from a week
to 10 days.
Cultural exchanges have a special signifi-
cance for participants who gain new ideas
and learning experiences. They are also an
opportunity to gain first hand experience of
the lifestyles of the people in host countries.
That is how Jim McNichol and Jeff Allan,
both of Seaforth and members of the Zone F
Junior Farmers group suns up their recent
trip, to Australia and New Zealand.
The pair along with 16 other members of
their zone, which encompasses the counties
of Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey, recently
returned from a month-long trip to the two
countries. The group left on January 13 and
returned on Feb. 13. In that period they
spent two weeks in each of the countries. All
in all there were an estimated 45 partici-
pants from around Ontario involved in the
exchange.
The pair estimate that the trip cost each
individual between $4,000 and 54,500 in
personal funds to take the trip. However,
they do not regret the cost, but admit,
jokingly, that they could not take too many
similar exchange trips. In spite of the cost,

The .trip, which was organized by
provincial Junior Farmer director, Bill
Armstrong, was designed to give partici-
pants an opportunity to see farming
practices in other countries through a billett
system. The participants were billetted on
different farms with varying film opera -
"We gained a lot of new friends," Mr.
McNichol said, referring to other benefits
from such a trip.
"We also learned about what other
people have to put up with," Mr. Allan
added, explaining that Australia has a
had a severe drought for the past three
years.

The pair also agree That after seeing what
other people have to cope with they have a
greater appreciation of Canada, in particu-
lar our favourable climate conditions. They
explain that while they were in Australia,
daily temperatures soared in the 40°C
range.
They add that there was another positive
aspect to the trip.
It seemed to get our zone group closer,"
Mr. McNichol said, as he described closer
relationships established between zone
members during the trip.
Both feel that the visit was the best way to
learn about the farming and cultural aspects
of another country. They would also give
consideration to another, similar trip if the
op ortunity arose.

According tothepair,

Young Farmers from Australia and -New
Zealand are slated to make a similar
exchange trip to Canada in July of next
year. They will be met by their Ontario
counterparts in Vancouver and touywlth the
group from the west coast tbi ttakio. They
explain that enthusiasm for such a trip
gained momentum while the Junior Farm-
ers' group was on its exchange trip.

local residents. Addy
McPhee and Robert Tetu of
McKillop Township's Beech-
wood Pottery claimed the two
major prizes, with Rob re-
ceiving best of show and
Addy coming in with a close
second.

awards was sprinkled with
humourous comments about
"keeping it in the family," a
reference to Addy's winning
the juror's award at last
year's show. The annual
exhibition, running until
April 3 at London's Centen-
nial Museum features more
than'100 pieces by 40 South-
ern Ontario potters. Nine
" works by Rob and Addy were
IG, selected by the three-man
jury for this showing.
Five works in porcelain,
ranging from a small bowl to
a tall, vividly -coloured vase
comprised Rob's entry. while
Addy's delicate double -
lidded jar attracted consider•
able attention, and clinched
second place. Both potters
intend to enter the competi-
tive exhibition again next
year.
