association was held
Wednesday in Clinton with
two Exeter area men
assuming important
positions on the leader’s
club executive.
Albert Van Dyken, RR 1
Exeter was elected presi
dent succeeding Robert
Hern of RR 1 Woodham
while Barry Miller of RR 3
Exeter, was elected as se
cond vice-president.
The other members of the
executive are first vice-
president Glen McNeil, RR
6 Goderich and secretary
treasurer Maurice
Hallahan. RR 1 Belgrave.
On his past year in office
Hern said that “It certainly
has been an enjoyable
year”, with the presentation
of a mini agricultural fair at
the Bluewater centre for the
developmentally han
dicapped near Goderich,
viewed by the past-president
as one of the more signifi
cantoccurrences in his term
of office.
In a brief address to the
leaders, Van Dyken stressed
the importance of the role
which the leaders play in the
development of the young
people under their
guidance.
Following dinner, several
guests paid tribute to the
contributions which the 4-H
club had made to the
agricultural way of life in
Huron.
Newly elected warden of
Huron, Gerry Ginn said that
“the young people are still
the primary resource of
Huron” and added that “We
are proud to help the 4-H
program in Huron county.”
Reeve Bill Elston of
Morris township and chair
man of county council’s
development committee ex
plained that it is his com
mittee that is looking after
the county’s interest in the
upcoming international
plowing match which will be
held in Huron.
Huron agricultural'
representative Don Pullen
paid tribute to the longevity
of service of many of the 4-H
members. Saying that this
did not mean that the club
had stagnated, the Ag. rep
said that he had seen many
changes during his 16 years
of attendance at the annual
meetings.
Len MacGregor, 4-H
Youth extension programme
director detailed several of
the highlights for 4-H in
Huron this past year. A.
banquet in honour of the
club’s 25th anniversary in
Huron held in July was an
overwhelming success, the
director said.
Twenty-seven delegates
from Huron were involved in
an Inter-Countv exchange
with 4-H members from
Butler county, Ohio which
allowed for the opportunity
of studying agriculture in
another part of the country.
MacGregor announced
that two exchange programs
were tentatively scheduled
for this coming summer.
The major exchange will be
with Lafayette county in
Wisconsin with 25-30
members headed for the
dairy state. Four members
will be sent to Cap-de-la-
Madeline in Quebec during
July of this year.
MacGregor reported that
there is a possibility of grants
from the federal govern
ment that will cover 90 per
cent of that exchanges’
costs.
In other points discussed
at the meeting, it was learn
ed that substantial increases
in the number of young peo
ple involved and projects
completed took place with 28
more members than last
year and 36 more projects
being completed.
The pre 4-H program
which allows members to
join one year earlier, con
tinued to be successful as a
total of 41 members joined
this pastyear.
The problem of brucellosis
and its effect on the showing
of cattle in the upcoming
fairs received considerable
discussion at the meeting.
Concern was expressed that
the disease could result in
tighter regulations for the
showing at fairs.
George Townshend of
Seaforth felt that a revision
in the marking system for
projects at county fairs was
needed. Townshend said that
a uniform scale should be
adapted with placings being
worth the same amount of
points in all fairs.
Several members voiced
opposition to the proposal as
they pointed out that the
quality of exhibits may be
better at one fair than
another thereby penalizing
the higher quality projects.
McGregor said “We’ll do
our best to keep the point
system consistent between
various fairs.”
The association accepted
the offer from United Co
operatives of Ontario to pre
sent a trophy to the highest
score in 4-H competition.
This replaces Blatchford
Feed Trophy which has been
retired.

clubs were appointed: Beef-
