It helps them change their ideas, hopefully for the good. Otherwise they don’t know what’s available.” Most of the Young Far mers agreed that the ex change trip gave them a valuable opportunity to live in homes and get to know people and their customs. Judy Templeton summed it up, “I think it is good to learn how different people live.” Judy and Joy Cairncross are visiting in the Robert E. Gregory family at Lititz, and had the opportunity to travel through the countryside and observe some Amish «- t « customs. They were ''l * fascinated. “I am surprised ' at how many different religions you have. I have heard of the Amish, but I nevei thought people lived like that,” Judy said. Joy quickly chimed in, “I wouldn’t be able to get by without my curling iron and hairdryer.” Pam Ness, fieldman for the Young Farmers, said, “The Amish-type farmers are very different - we had » Alts M.

The best part of the exchange is to get to meet and know people, and leam differences in food and ways of life. A big advantage is that it brings the kids closer traveling together like this, and that will help us work together when we get home.” A student at McGill University, Pam works as a fieldman for the organization in the Summer. She explains that the organization is very similar to 4-H, and the age range of members is from ten to 20. The majority of those in volved in the exchange come from four clubs in the Chateauguay Valley, with several invited from outside the region to help fill the bus. The groups meet year round and have both han dicraft projects and “calf” projects. Usually, meetings are held more frequently for those in the calf project close to show time, Pam said. It was explained that calves are shown in two classes, from Jan. 1 through June 30 and from July 1 through December 30. Each year members get a new calf for a project, and one advantage is that young members S. G. LEWIS LEBANON VALLEY AND SON IMPLEMENT CO.

Handicraft projects may range from quilting to making Christmas decorations to making wall plaques, and there are also garden projects. Pam said, “The clubs are all run by the members and adult volunteer leaders, with no government aid.” She proudly related how the clubs raised almost all the money for the trip, so that each member needed to pay just $2O from his own pocket. The clubs sponsored dances, and a dairy booth at the fair to help defray expenses. The Scobles noted, “Pam was always there to make sure things got done.” Pam is staying in the home of Cherri Gochnauer, Centerville Road, Lancaster. Jim Kyle talked about one of the most noticeable dif ference between the Chateauguay Valley and this country. “We have a shorter growing season there.” Mike Duncan said, “Most of us won’t start the gram harvest for three weeks. The weather at home is about the same - pretty warm. By November snow will fly.” The MF 760 and MF 750 Combines offer a host of behind-the-scenes features that make them leading performers in big capacity harvesting operations Two chaperones on the Canadian trip, Bob and with 4-H agent Linda Franz and host Kathy Fisher Janet Schobie, on the left, take time for a break who pours everyone a drink.
