schedule of events for the trip so that the ex-
change students would have a lot of free
time with their twins and their families.
All of the mothers said they would be wal-
ing to participate in the exchange again.
The Grade 7 students who participated in
the exchange enjoyed having a French
roommate as well. They could communicate
well enough to play cards with thegbjsts,
take them swimming, and do a number of
other activities while they weren't in school.
The french students could generally speak
more English than their hosts could speak
French. Mrs. Holmes says this is because
they have more exposure to English televi-
sion, movies, music, and the media in
general than anglophones have to the
French media.
But the Seaforth students will soon be hav-
ing all the exposure they can handle. On Fri-
day they will be flying to the city of
Chicoutimi to spend a week with their twins
in Quebec.
The plane will set the students down in
Quebec City where Mrs. Holmes wW give
them a short tour, and from there they will
take a bus to Chicoutimi, a city of 68,000 peo-
ple.
On Monday they will be welcomed to the
school, -and will receive a formal greeting
from the Mayor of the city. On Tuesday they
will visit a zoo, on Wednesday they will see a
miniature village which is used to
demonstrate rules of the road and safety
rules, and later on Wednesday they will see
a regional museum. On Thursday the
students and their twins will be hiking in a
provincial park, and will see a monument
built by a sailor.
In addition to all these planned activities
the students have arranged a lot of private
get-togethers to go swimming etc. while
they are there.
On Friday they will return to Seaforth.

Jack Riddell, Minister of Agriculture and
Food, said at the opening ceremony for the
works centre that the provincial govern-
ment recognizes the need for road
maintenance, and recently announced
$1,600,000 in supplementary funding for this
purpose in Huron County. Of the works cen-
tre he said "it's certainly a major improve-
ment over what you had before... and it will
serve the township for many years to
come."
The two acres of land the works centre is
on was bought by McKillop township in the
1930s. At that time it was owned by Ralph
Davidson, and it was the site of a
blacksmith's shop. The shop was torn down
and in 1957 the original two bay shed was
built.
