Taber Exchange Each year our local Kiwan- is groups sponsor an exchange program between Taber, Al- berta, Canada and Fort Benton. This year, our visiting students left after the Malta Football game and stayed for a week. While there, they observed the two high schools while staying with host families. By actually living with the Canadians, they were able to exchange and learn of customs, language differences, and little things that make the difference between two similar nations. During the stay of our stu- dents in Taber they partici- pated in a variety of activities that had been planned by the hosts themselves, as did we Americans when we were visited. Many friends were made, much was learned, there was fun and suggestions to take back home. Through this exchange of youth, the Sponsors wished to create a better understanding of one another’s homeland and in some way, strengthen the bond of friendship that the two countries share. Visiting from Canada in February were: Jane Hall, Leona Metz, Mitch Pur- mell, Sheila Hedley, Cindy Saunders. Lilian Carswell, Wendy Holland and Tony Coosalik. Exchange Students to Taber in October were: Harry Flynn, Darcy Morger, Eileen Kelly, Nancy Gottfried. Kim Larson (alt.), Terry Zanto and Shayla Roddy. 28
