Page 8 Halton HillsThis Week, Saturday, August 1, 1992 A group of Japanese students will soon be in Halton Hills - After a successful stay last year, Japanese students will be returning to Georgetown in August. Thirty-two female high school students from Hiroshima, Japan will be arriving in Georgetown on August 3, to experience Canadian culture and improve their English. The students are taking part in an exchange program called Cultural Homestays of Canada. ‘MAL DODGE Sales Representative Based in the United States, this organization has been active in Canada for about five years, spon- soring students from around the globe for a stay in a host nation. Judith Gooding, a drama teacher at Georgetown District High School, was involved in bringing two groups of university students from Japan to Georgetown last . summer. Response from last year’s host families was so positive that Gooding had no trouble finding bil- lets for this year’s group. While in Georgetown the stu- dents, who are between 15 and 16- years-old, will be treated to a fash- ion show, a day exploring Toronto, and a chance to talk with local teens to discuss similarities and dif- ferences in school and cultures. a] | my =| Ph S</ [=o (on 00] ci 5) > Zz 360 Guelph St., Georgetown AWARD WINNING TEAM LINDA ROBINSON Sales Representative © Isao aoeeleseelelelel el eelelelelels aeeielelelelel to an acre on the edge of Georgetown - "15 Sideroad".

It was a great thrill to attend my first World Conference. The very capa- ble President Valerie Fisher of Australia was in the chair and con- ducted the entire conference in English. Beside my husband and myself, those attending from Halton were fean Anderson of Limehouse and Peggy and Wally Knapp formerly of Ashgrove. Peggy was elected president for the Area of Canada in A.C.W.W. She succeeds Yolande Calvé of Quebec. Congratulations Peggy! The opening ceremony was graced by the presence of Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands. The stage was set beautifully with Dutch flowers. Children from an International school carried in flags for each of the 65 countries attending and we were favored with musical selections by the Ladies Choir of Voorne. Guest speaker Mrs. E. ter Veld spoke of equality, development and peace and of the sifuation of women around the world. Members and husbands had pre- registered through A.C.W.W. head office in London, England and both spouses received name tags and white canvas shoulder bags with all information and passes to special events when they regis- tered at the conference. An affordable cafeteria was pro- vided where members could lunch with their husbands, if husbands were not on side trips. A pass for nine days on the local transit sys- tem was offered at a reasonable cost. A gala welcoming party was given by the Dutch Societies, the evening of Monday, June 22. The following evening a reception was given us by the Ministry of Agriculture, The Hague. In her address, President Valerie Fisher spoke on the theme of the conference, “Our World, Our Future” to, as she said, “a collec- tion of (650) wondering women”. Five plenary sessions were held dealing with World problems, business, elections of officers, a new constitution, finance, etc. Resolutions on ozone protection, agricultural protection and all rec- ommendations and amendments were discussed and voted on by the delegates. Pre-conference workshops were offered for devel- oping countries.

Attending this service I had on my-left a lady from Poland, on my right a lady from Norway and in front two ladies from Nigeria. Our Dutch hostesses had an excursion, “Get in Touch with the Dutch”, planned after Church. Fifteen coaches left for fifteen dif- ferent destinations in this land of dikes, canals, windmills, brick Streets, museums, ancient architec- ture and history. All guests report- ed a most enjoyable day. Monday, June 29, our fifth plenary had reports of discussion groups and summary of confer- ence.
