GREATLY ICED î29.95 7 King St. E. 623-7071 BOWMANVILLE'S HEADQUARTERS FOR FURNITURE - CARPETS and DRAPES Douglas Larmer, 19, of Blackstock. Ontario has been named by John Deere Ltd. and the Canadian Council of 4,H Clubs to one of the most exclusive clubs available to young Canadian farm people. He is the Ontario represent- ative to a summer work exchange program financed by John Deere and admini- stered by the 4-H Council. As part of his summer adventure, Douglas will experience life on the farm of the parents of Malcolm Cairns, of Lower Freetown, P.E.I. Malcolm Cairns, of course, will ,be working at Douglas Larmer's home farm at Blackstock. Each of the 10 young Canadian farmers within the exchange program will spend about one month at the home farm of their exchange coun- terpart. Both 4-H and John Deere stress that the ex- change program is work- oriented and is not merely an exotic holiday. Douglas Larmer plans to receive his D.V.M. and prac- tice veterinary medicine. All participants are between 16 and 21 years of age and have been involved in 4-H programs for at least two years. All of them would not normally be free to travel because of their work commit- ments at home. Both John Deere and 4-H intend to create a unique opportunity fryonPe e ho are intent on agriculture as a career, to experience food production in another pro- vince. While it is called a "Summer Work Exchange" it is an experiment in agricultu- ral education designed to expand the horizons of high calibre young farm people. Each of the exchange part- icipants will spend a few days together at their respective homes at the beginning or end of the visits. They will under- take the regular farm respon- Got You! John Dilling was a supervisor at Memorial Park this summer and he's had fun, however, they neglected to tell him the students would get to throw wet sponges at him at the end of his term. John was part of the festivities at the park on Friday, and the children were allowed to throw wet sponges at the supervisors providing they donated two cents a throw to the SPLASH fund. sibilities and activities of their exchange counterparts. One of the highlights of each exchange will be the opport- unity for most of the exchange participants to travel for a few days with a John Deere territory manager. The 1978 program is the third year in which John Deere and 4-H have collabo- rated on an exchange pro- gram. "We were very pleased with the results of the pro- gram", said Jack Gilliland, of John Deere. "It was obvious that these young farmers received significant benefit from it", he added. Wesleyville Hope township charge of the United Church held their worship service on the lovely lawns of the Mark Gardiner home at Garden Hill. The area there didn't look as if drought had been too severe. Grass was lush and green and the congregation sat under the shade of an immense willow tree which had been planted many years ago by Mr. Gardiner. The service was conducted by Rev. W. Kenne- dy. There will be no service next Sunday on the charge but the following Sunday, August 20, it will be held at the Lloyd Kellogg home at Welcome. Once a traveller from Puerto Rico said there were so many peùplt- living close to-gether, that you would be surprised to hear someone speaking, seemingly on your own back step, only to discover he was in a house a little higher up or lower down, right by your own. It seemed like that here on Sunday morning when I stepped out on the deck just before 7 am. and heard a voice speaking quietly and distinctly, "Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, we hoped to get started sharp at seven o'clock." Neither TV or Junior rangers place rocks over filter mats along a stretch of creekjust below the Orono pond. The rocks and mats are part of a fish and wiliife habitat improvement project being carried out in the area under the auspices of the Ganaraska River Conservation Authority. Under the program the authority pays for 75 per cent of the work and the landowner pays the other 25 per cent. This particuiarproject cost $800. The program is in its first year and, if everything goes as planned and the studies show it is worthwhile, the authority is considering expanding it next year. Anyone who wishes technical assistance in reforestration, fish and wildlife habitat improvement, or erosion control can get it at no charge from the authority. radio was on, so I soon realized it was a speaker at the Port Britain horse meet, a mile to the east. Even if it was not known it was taking place, the number of horse trailers going by the house was enough evidence. There was an item of înterest to Hope -township in the Peterborough Examiner last week, which told of an old cemetery in Quebec threaten- ed by a parking lot. Some university students became interested, were able to get a grant, stop the proposed lot, and start to restore it. First record showed 500 buried there, but other records said number was more like 5,000 with many notables, such as Sir Walter Scott's brother, a half brother of Queen Victoria, two Lieut. Governors one of them Col. Henry Hope for whom our township was named. His picture is in the front of Mr. Reeve's township history. John Robb and son Jack of Osgoode called at Mrs. Bar- rowclough's on Monday after- noon having driven from Wisconsin since the night before.
