Irish Young Farmer visits Halton farms Ireland than usual Is being created In thia week by a charming young Irish visitor Bertha of County Antrim She la one of six young people from England Scotland ana Northern Ireland visiting Canada on a four month ex chance program sponsored by the Junior Formers Some of the sparkle leaves her eyes when she 8 questioned about the political troubles In her homeland but she also anxious to tell about Its beauties and hopes This week Bertha is the guest of Mr and Mrs Wallace and Janice at their farm on the third line of Last week she was with Mr and Mrs A and family eat wave Her setting a lively pace with meetings and sight seeing She thoroughly enjoying It except far a while Monday at the Lion safari when I got no hot I even speak she laughs With the car windows shut the temperature rose to way above the summer overage In Northern Ireland which Is 60 degrees Oh 70 degrees Is heat wave explains Bertha In her delightful lilting voice She la used to showers and sunshine never heavy rains Snow has barely covered the ground Ihe past two years She chuckles at the looks she gets when she says she dldn lake a coat to work all last winter She drives mile to where she 1b an accounting machine- operator Common market Her father Gilbert runB a 100acrc farm with head of beer cattle that above the average for Northern Ireland Their beef will eventually go to the Common Market so farm outlook Is bright Bertha sees the Common Market also at a possible solution to the problem of uniting nor thorn and southern Ireland It could help eliminate the she thinks bringing more trade and Industry to the south But that s a long term solution she stressed Now fighting and bombing continue mainly In the towns like Belfast Adapt to trouble We re oil right in the country she said we adapt to It At night we arc searched and out at meetings or dances there ore often bomb scares A bortib scare Is very different from a bomb she and all her friends have learned Sometimes they don t even evacuate They surmise some of the scares might have been phoned by young pranksters Her younger sister wearing a school uniform with a crown on the crest has been attacked Who by By young girls In gangs who probably don even really dorstand what they re It not a religious problem anymore says Bertha She lays blame on Communist agitators who support young extremists and can supply hem with arms Get along well But it s not everybody she explains In her junior farmer club there are both Protestants and Roman Catholics they go to visit other clubs and go to each halls and churches But the Intimidation Is so great no one dares to speak out for fear of retaliation We do without the British soldiers since policemen have little authority any more The violence is pointless her friend husband was shot and killed apparently because of mistaken Identity He belonged to no groups Nobody has the solution It appears Some people leave the country But Bertha says that not why her sister going to Scotland to train as a nurse and her married brother studios medicine In England Brother Robert Is still on the farm where her mother makes her own bread and butter in the old country way Many new friends A little apprehensive about living with families here at first Bertha is very happy with her new friends like the and Swackhamera In She could not
