PensyIvarna 4-H group
Arrive for farm exchange
Butler County, Pennsylvania,
is an eight hour bus ride from
Clinton and that eight hour ride is
what consumed the better part
of Monday for 34 4-H exchange
delegates and their six
chaperones who arrived in
Clinton about 5:00 p.m. Monday
from Butler County.
The week long stay in Huron
County is the first part of an
exchange that will see 34 Huron
County 4 -Hers return to Penn-
sylvania the first week of August.
One of the exchange delegates
is Diane Chritchlow, who is
staying with Carol Dougall,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William.
Dougall of Exeter.
Diane is 17, and although she
doesn't live on a farm per se, she
works with horses on a neigh-
boring farm near the small
village she lives in.
Both Diane and Carol, also 17
and a student at SHDHS, have
been involved in 4-H .for the past
six years and have completed the
homemaking course. They are
both in their second year of
agriculture studies.
The exchanges is somewhat of
an award said Carol's mother,
Mrs. Fern Dougall, explaining
that it is given to students who
have been in 4-H for some time
and who have completed courses
with good results.
Mrs. Dougall said 52 applied for
the exchange from which the 34
were chosen.
Diane had been in Huron
County less than 24 hours when
the T -A talked with she and
Carol, so her initial impressions
of farming in this area were
minimal .She said there wasn'i'.as
much division of plots in Penn-
sylvania as there is in Huron
County, suggesting that farmers
preferred to grow one or two
crops on larger sections of land.
Other than this, she said she had
not noticed anything that much
different.
There are planned activities for
the 34 delegates and their hosts,
including a tour of the Huron
County court house and museum
in Goderich June 23 and a picnic
at Auburn baseball park, June 27.
There is also plenty of free time
to spend touring the area. After
arriving Monday, Carol and her
parents took Diane to the Thames
Road strawberry and ham
supper and a trip to London was
planned for Tuesday afternoon.
There wasn't so much free time
that a little work couldn't be done
though, as both girls were busy
Tuesday morning picking 19
boxes of strawberries and
gathering eggs before they left
for London. Apparently these
exchanges are not all play and no
work.
The Dougalls are not the only
local family hosting a delegate.
Mr. and Mrs. George Kellett, and
their daughter Carolyn have
Donna Neely for a week, as do
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Postma and
Janet hosting Brenda Geibel,
Gail Johns, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Johns, Woodham,
with Stephanie Kovalchick, Bob
Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
(Stuart Wilson, Brucefield, with
Bryan Critchlow, Brian Pym, son
of Mr. and i Mr;s. Howard Pym,
Centralia with Tom Ray and Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Pavkeje's son,
Paul with Jeff White.
Accompanying the delegates
back to Pennsylvania will be Mr.
and Mrs „Jack Stewart of Kirkton.
