Homemakers at convention The ’cream of the crop’ from Ontario’s 4-H Homemaking clubs will at­ tend Dimensions ’79 the provincial 4-H Homemaking club conference, at Guelph, June 19 to 22. About 150 delegates are selected to represent their home counties, districts, and regions on the basis of their contribution and leadership, says Lorraine Holding, conference coor­ dinator. They are primarily senior club members, aged 16 to 20. The purpose of the con­ ference is to encourage 4-H involvement, leadership skills, and personal develop­ ment through lectures, dis­ cussion, -activity sessions, interest groups, and tours. “The theme of this year’s conference is the Inter­ national Year of the Child,” says Miss Holding. “Delegates will discuss the aims of the Canadian Com­ mission for the International Year of the Child, and how the 4-H movement can help carry out these objectives.” Dr. Richard Barham, chairman of the Department of Family Studies, Universi­ ty of Guelph, is the theme speaker for the first con­ ference session on June 20. Since many of the delegates are graduating from high school this year, a career and life planning ses­ sion, featuring a panel of ex­ perts. is scheduled for June 20. “One of the purposes of the conference is to en­ courage delegates to become leaders,” says Miss Holding. “John Flynn, from the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation, is the guest speaker for the leadership session on June 21.” Delegates also have the opportunity to attend special sessions dealing with sub­ jects such as photography, drama, nature, and the 4-H program. More than 20,000 rural young people are involved in 4-H Homemaking clubs across the province. These programs are operated by the Home Economics Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
