Clinton News-Record, 1983-08-03, Page 211 PAGE 2 -Q1JNTON NE14S-RECURI1, W EDN ES AY, AUGUST 3, 1983 Centralia will host conference Centralia College of Agricultural Technology will host its third conference for Rural Women this August. The con- ference attracts women from various rural backgrounds and gives them a chance to make contact with others, and develop skills. "In the past the majority of women attending the conference have been actively farming," said Valerie Bolton, conference co-ordinator. "For this reason we are orienting the workshops to the particular concerns expressed by these women such as Time Management, Leadership Skills, Stress, and Working as a Family on the Farm. Of course, we ex- pect these workshops will appeal to non- farm women as well and we encourage their participation as we have in past years." The conference will be held on August 26 and 27. It will begip Friday evening with registration at 6:30 p.m. An evening pro- gram is planned and overnight accom- modation right at the college is available. On Saturday a series of eight workshops will be held, four in the morning and four in the afternoon. Participants will choose one in each session so each person can only attend two different workshops. "The choice may be difficult," Bolton said. "Un- fortunately the limits of time and space make it difficult to organize the program differently." One of the features of the conference will be a presentation of the results of a survey conducted in Bruce County off the stress of farm women. "We will have excellent workshop leaders," Bolton said, "and it will be a very worthwhile experience for those who attend." For many it is a very well deserved change from their deman- ding schedules. A service will be provided by Women To- day to help women make child care ar- rangements or obtain transportation to the conference. "Unfortunately we can't pro- vide child care at the college," said Bolton, "but Women Today will help women make these kind of arrangements near their own homes if it is a problem for them." Re- quests must be made before August 5th for this assistance. If you are interested, plan to register early by phoning Centralia College at (519)228-6691. There is. a $21 registration fee that must be paid to hold your spot. Overnight accommodation and breakfast are available for $10 but it will be ,payable at registration on August 26. Industrialist is impressed EXETER - A 23 -year-old bachelor industrialist from Germany came to Exeter last week for a four day stay. He was looking for an op- portunity to produce his product in Canada. Prior to his departure, Langenhorst said he was "really impressed" with Exeter and the surrounding area and termed it "a good place" to start up a com- pany. He talked with numerous industrial people during his Trevor Mothers Clinton Neal Atchison RR 1, Varna Jennifer Miller RR 2, Bayfield Jodi Webster Auburn Angelo Vanderhaar RR 2, Bayfield Rhonda Long Clinton John McFarlane Clinton Sandra Holland Clinton Jeff Morgan Clinton Lisa Kennedy Londesboro Nicholas Bell Clinton Erin Horbanuik Londesboro Bennie Greidanus RR 1.

"Everyone we talked with was affected positively with our product," the German visitor said, and noted that the next step would be up to those local firms to see if some type of joint venture or licensing arrangement could be worked out.

Huberta Miklitsch, 21, of Vienna, Austria, has been staying with Walter and Nancy Marchl 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 Blyth. They have toured Toronto, Midland, Georgian Bay, Grand Bend, Goderich and northern Ontario. 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. His 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 Marchl also happens to be a native Austrian so the two may converse in their own language as 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 Lions Club members for being so good to us."

Both became good friends and hope to keep up correspondance in the future. (Rod Hilts photo) Exchange a success By Rod Hilts Last week Clinton native Dave Wise played host to a Scottish farmer as a part of an international exchange program. A total of 10 delegates from the United Kingdom were visitors to Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey Counties on the exchange. Dave, a member of the Clinton and District Junior Farmers, volunteered to host a delegate at the June meeting of Huron County Junior Farmers. "It's a great program. I'd like to see it happen again," Dave said following the exchange. John Muir enjoyed every minute of the exchange. John, who resides just west of Edinburgh, Scotland, said he was shocked by the size of Ontario. "You could fit four BI'itains into it," John said in amazement. John arrived in Clinton on July 20 and on July 26 at 6 a.m., Dave drove his foreign friend to Tobermory for a trip on the ferry. At Manitoulin Island, John and the 10 other United Kingdom delegates met and were greeted by Junior Farmers from Rainy River. What's the major difference between. farming here and fa ing in Scotland? John explains that S'4otland is moun- tainous and that 60 per cent of the land can't be plowed. "Our main cash crops are barley, wheat and potatoes. On our farm we also raise about 110 beef cattle," said John. An amazing difference in the feeding techniques of cattle in Scottland is that Scottish farmers fatten their herds by feeding them turnips. According to John, a wet spring and a cool summer in Scotland is going to mean a bad year for crops. In John's own wor- ds,"There's not going to be much money in it this year." John is a member of the Scottish. Association of, Young Farmers. He says Ontario's Junior Farmer program is much similar to the one in Scotland. In the United Kingdom there are three basic Young Farmer groups located in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. The highlight of John's visit to Ontario was on July 22 when he and Dave went to Canada's Wonderland for Junior Farmer and 4-H Day. Dave estimated 4,500 members attended the event. "Everybody has been very hospitable to me. It's been a chance of a lifetime. It has really broadened my outlook and it's a great way to meet friends," said John in his sharp Scottish accent. John's a full time farmer in Scottland and has a farm partnership with his father. He says one of the biggest surprises in Ontario was the low, gas and food prices. "Food is much more expensive in Scotland. Gas is twice the price and just recently rose to over $4 a gallon," John said. After returning from Rainy River, John and the other 10 delegates will be attending the Junior Farmer Summer games to be held in Guelph on August 6. From there John will be returning home because of working committments and the other 10 will be visiting the western provinces. Dave Wise summed up the success of the program appropriately by saying, "I'd definitely host another delegate again. I'd like to go on an exchange myself. They program allows them to learn about Canadians and we learn about people from other nations."
