In the group were eight boys from the United States (one from' Florida and one from. Alaska). C.

After 16 years, if a member has had three years in the club, he is eligible to become a junior leader. Various ways were ex- plained in which these junior leaders were encouraged to help the club leader, and 'to coach the junior members. John Brown, engineering field- man for Huron and Perth, and Russ Bradford, dairy fieldman for Huron, spoke briefly. Donald Grieve, associate ag- ricultural fieldman for Huron, reminded the leaders that age limit for membership was to be 12 years old by January 1, 1961, and not to have reached the 21st birthday by December 31, 1961.

A vote was held and carried 17-15 to hold Achievement Night in Wingham this year. The date is the first Friday night in December. The first Achievement Night held in the county was in Exeter, and it has alternated ever since be- tween the north and south end of the county.
