Dean Fred Snyder, of the newly opened Conestoga College stressed thelmportanceofwork when he addressed about 300 Huron County Federation of Ag riculture members at their an nual meeting November 29 in Hullett Township hall. Substituting for Professor J; W, Church, president of the new college, Mr. Snyder was intro duced by John Gaunt, OFA field man. Mr, Snyder’s theme, “the importance of wprk and useful occupations in our society” pointed to the many advantages to be found Ln gainful employ ment. But opportunities for the children of today’s farming gen eration to follow their fathers were dwindling, Mr. Snyder said. Expansion and enlarge ment of individual farming units were forcing more families from rural areas. Young people with farming backgrounds from rural areas, however, could still utilize their agricultural experience, Mr, Snyder stated. For. instance, a young man with a farm Wk ground could make a career in journalism writing for a farm, publication. After Mr. Snyder’s.address, . Charles Thomas, QFA presi- • dent and chairman of the Lon-, desboro meeting, invited mem bers to ask questions. In reply to one question, Mr. Snyder said a course in agri cultural computer technology would be offered at Clinton or Seaforth for farm operators in the Huron — Perth area. The course is scheduled to begin January 10. Elmer Hunter, first vice-pre*. si dent of the Huron County OFA thanked the speaker.
