T-A photo Ten Queen contestants tots of sauerkraut Many Friedsburg Days features About 350 people attended the 25th anniversary and reunion of Huron County 4-H Club Leaders' Association at the Blyth arena Saturday afternoon. Since it was foundeddn 1952 the organization hatealmost,doubledithenrumber of its leaders from 32 to 60 and today the 30 clubs in the 'County have about 400 members. Guest speaker, Bob Carbert, former farm editor for CKNX, Wingham, and now general manager of the Ontario Agricultural Museum at Milton, described the founding members as "far-sighted persons who envisaged the development of this association to cultivate Huron County's most important crop". He said the quality of the county's beans, corn, hay, wheat, rutabagas and other crops are well known but the "most im- portant product of the farms of this county is the young people you have raised, trained, educated and prepared for the challenge of the future". He said, "The greatest satisfaction that you must have as leaders is to see that crop already bearing fruit." Mr. Carbert said the organization is sometimes criticized because "in 4-H there is too much emphasis on winning, too much emphasis on the competition. Well, human beings are a competitive species, and young people are the most competitive of the tribe," He said, "If you are not prepared to strive to do better, to accomplish more than the other fellow, then you aren't likely to get a great deal out of life or living." "Thank God that is in- stilling a competitive spirit in our young people, and teaching them that while' ;winning is important; it takes character to lose and come back and try again,"he said. Robert Hern, RR1 Woodham, president,stated that 4-H with its range of clubs is no longer just for young people with farm backgrounds but that urban young people can enjoy it too, Among the many other "GRAND OLD MEDLEY" in the amateur instrumental Garden Party.

Don Pullen, Huron's Agricultural representative, said that because of this large number of homemaking clubs it had become necessary to have two home economists for the county beginning in September. Miss Bea McClenaghan will be coming to Huron as Home economist next week. She has been working in Ontario and York Counties and the second home economist will follow shortly in two weeks. She is Miss Grace Bird, a recent graduate of Guelph University. They will succeed Miss Jane Pengilley who left Huron for Wellington County earlier this year. Gordon Bennett, Deputy minister of Agriculture, who was agricultural representative in Huron from 1948 to 1951, spoke of the competitive spirit that leaders instil in young people to make them self-starters. Gerry Montgomery of London, agricultural representative in Huron from 1951 to 1957, during the time the leaders' club was first considered in 1951 and formed in 1952, said he was rewarded by the successes and achievements of the young people he worked with during his seven- year term in Huron. Douglas Miles, agricultural representative from 1957 to 1968, spoke of the assistance given by county council to the 4-H leaders' club and said that extra grant money had meant so much to the leaders who were the strength behind 4-H work.
