Wankier, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Farrell T. Wankier of Levari, who is spending six months as' an Internation Farm Youth Exchange Student in Ecuador. Farrell left Utah October 9th and flew, to Washington DC where he spent a week with nine other EFYE's in an orientation program prior to leaving for his field. While in Washington DC, he appeared on TV in a costume from Ecuador and was seen by many Juab County residents. From Washington DC he flew to Miami, Florida and from there to Quito, the capitol of Ecuador arriving on October 17th. He is at the present time living on a 1700 acre farm where they have 450 head of diary cows and 850 calves. In his last letter to his family he was trimming the Cor-riedale and Rambouillet sheep which he will show for his host family at the state fair. Farrell s trip is sponsored in Utah Jointly by the Utah Lions Club and Extension Service. It is interesting to note that Eddie" Guerrero of Ecuador has spent about six weeks In Juab County on a similar program. While here he lived with Allen Belliston and Farrell Wankier families. Later on in Farrell's stay in Ecuador he will be assigned to Eddie's family as his host. Following is Farrell's article on his impressions of Ecuador. "My First Impression of Ecuador "As I came over the snow capped peaks of the High Andes mountains in Ecuador, I could see the snow on the many peaks. Among these peaks was "Cotu- poxl," the highest active volcano in the world. Its long slope ing sides were raising gently from the valley floor at almost a 45 angle and coming to a pointed cone shape at the top, almost 20,-0ft. above sea level. As the plane crossed the equator the plane gave a dip and the pilot said, "you are now at the center of the world, the Equator." The country received Its name from the equator because 00 runs almost directly through the center. The thing that was amazing to me were the farms scattered up and down the slopes. Some were on hillsides so stwp that a man would have trouble Just climbing It let along farming It. Some of these hills that were farmed almost leaned over backwards.
