It is a gener­ ally accepted fact that our lectures on the care and feeding of farm animals and poultry will be very helpful in coming years. Also the information we received on mech­ anism, farm mathematics and man­ agement, reforestation, fruit grow­ ing and drainage ought to prove beneficial to us. Equally important ■were the lectures on permanent pastures, grasses and grain seeds, weeds and their eradication. But the day that I think topped all the rest was the trip to Coleman’s Meat Packing Plant in -London. We were taken through the Plant and held discussion on the many phases of animal and meat marketing. And we must not forget the good times some of the 'boys had going up and down on the plant elevator. It was a day well spent. Since this Short Course was very much like any other organization, we had oui- president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer. Wilfred Hunkin was our thorough president with LaVerne Rodd being his as­ sistant or vice-president. Donald Jeffery had the honor of being our secretary-treasurer, a post which he filled exceptionally well. Oh yes, we also had a literary committee with Cliff Jaques and Jim Rowcliffe as its directors. Now, it was the job of these two congenial chaps, with the two directors from the girls’ group, to arrange the presentation of a literary period every Friday afternoon, and also the arrange­ ments for parties or dances. We had some very good literary periods, in which were featured movies, sing­ songs and solos. We also had a euchre and crokinole (party, at which everyone had a swell time. After these'parties the girls treated us to a supper lunch. To conclude the course, a dance had been planned but due to wea­ ther conditions, had to be post­ poned until a later date. This review summarizes fairly well the way we spent our four weeks at the Short Course. It gave us all a feeling of co-operation to­ wards a common end and .a sense of confidence and responsibility. Gilds’ News of the Day January 6th, 19 47, was opening day for the Exeter Short Course. The girls -were lucky in hav­ ing the Legion Rooms for their classes. The 'boys’ classes were held in the Town Hall. The girls gradu- 1 ally got attendance of lucky thir­ teen, but t0 the relief of all of us another' member joined. We usually •had a full attendance every day, at least on the days Miss Martin did not give us an exam. I am sure we all got some helpful points from our instructresses, Miss (Martin and Miss Irvine. Unlike the boys, we did not make a great many trips. We did go to 1 London to obtain material for oui' sewing class, but did not spend all day and haLf the night, as we heard a great many of the iboys did .when they went to London on a trip. I am sure we should feel very lucky, and thanks to our janitor who looked after us very /well, we had a reasonably warm place in which to hold our class. When we attended lectures at the hall with the boys, it may have been the near zero weather but the main troub-lq was the cold shoulder the boys gave us. They did not hesitate to take , their chairs and go to the other side of the room. I am sure it was just shyness, as we really have some very good cooks among our group. Marion Rundle made an excep- , tionally good president ,and Audrey Rodd was the secretary-treasurer. Some of the highlights of our Course was a crokinole and euchre party, at which we really made our lunch committee, Doris Duncan and Leone Duncan work very hard There was a large crowd and an enjoyable time was spent by all. We had in­ teresting literary meetings on .Fri­ day afternoons. We have invited Mr. Brown and Mr, Nelson to a dinner and we hope they will have a favourable report to make on the girls’ cooking. We have been very lucky in not mak­ ing many flops in cooking, and boys, that’s something! The girls, I am sure, are going to have some smart dresses to par­ ade in. With the exception of some cut facings and alterations, vte had an intfii esting time in making our dresses. At the close of the Course, we I feel we have gained confidence and I skill in sewing and cooking. Beavers at- the Ontario hardware mer- convention. W. D.
