Young Voyageurs, a board of education program, to give high school students a chance to travel. "Farming is lots of fun but . " said Kathy Calderwood shakily from the broad back of a spotted heifer, Kathy was the guest of Janet Gielen, RR 2, Crediton. Janet was one of 28 local students who spent a week in Vancouver this July. "It was super!" said Janet, about the trip to the west coast, "I may never travel again, but at least I got one chance." For most of the students taking part in the exchange it was a first. "I'll never forget the people I met," Janet emphasized. Asked about her impression of Van- couver, "Lots of mountains, lots of parks, we visited many places." She isn't too certain about the names of the places she toured but she's sure about friendliness and the hospitality of the people she met. "The students were co- operative in every way," said June Ball. June and her husband John, teachers at Seaforth High School were chaperones. "It's a fantastic opportunity for students, a lot hadn't travelled out of Ontario before, educationally wise, this trip will add relevance to their studies, especially to geography." "The only criticism I can make is that transporting 56 persons is a real problem. School buses are too small and coaches are ex- pensive. Even then it was three to a seat and an overflow into the aisles," said Mrs. Ball. Transportation costs are handled by the Huron County school board. The students are responsible only for their spending money. Accom- modation is the least expense as the students stay in each other's homesThe students are 16 and 17 years of age and well rounded personalities, interested and out going. Most were from the farm as the aim of the program was to contrast urban and rural life styles. Two students are chosen each year from each school in Huron and Middlesex, by their prin- cipal. Ken Wiecke, guest of Paul Van Esbroeck, RR 1 Hensall, picked cucumbers, baled and stooked straw, helped with the chores and drove the tractor. He really enjoyed farm work but com- mented that "everywhere you go, you have to take a car," In the city you are minutes away from all kinds of entertainment whereas on the farm life is rather isolated and you have to make your own fun. Also hosting western visitors were Wes Abbott of RR 1, Cen- tralia, Marjorie Martens, RR 1, Dashwood, and Patty White, RR 4 Young Voyageurs from Vancouver experience life on Huron county farms Before arriving in Huron County, the students spent three days in Ottawa touring the Parliament buildings and the sights of the capital plus a trip to Upper Canada Village. Highlights of their week in rural Ontario were an outing to Stratford Festival to see Bertolt Brecht's Trumpets and Drums, a roller skating party at Grand Bend and a visit to Niagara Falls and Ontario Place. Sunday the scene was Patty White's pool where everyone enjoyed a swim and a barbecue. Both sets of students enjoyed the life of the other but nobody wanted to trade. "'I'he city kids say there's nothing to do on a farm," com- mented Marjorie Martens, "but I don't agree; I think the city's too dangerous. The country is so peaceful; I'd rather live on a farm than anywhere else." And of coursegs the reverse opinion for urban dwellers. The purpose of the trip is to "promote a better understanding between Canadians." With exchanges such as these, bringing people together the geographical barriers of our country can be lowered by communication. Tuesday at 6:00 a.m. sharp the bus left the Clinton arena for the Toronto airport with a load of sleepy but smiling teenagers.
