He decided to take advantage of the services offered by these two organizations after his wife was involved in an accident . which made himrealize they were getting older and more vulnerable; • ii "We have to do a little less--just be a little more fleiible," he said. • SOME LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS Beth Woodford, a Junior Agriculturalist staying. at the home of Charles Shobbrook, of R.R. 3, Walton, gets some last minute instructions from Mr. Shobbrook on the operation of the tractor. (Photo-by Ranney) BY DEBBIE RANNEY Beth Woodford comes from Toronto, but the city girl is becoming "countrified" as she helps out at the Charles Shobbrook farm, as part of the Junior Agriculturalist program. Beth has been helping out the Shob- hrooks who live at R.R. 3, Walton, with such farm duties as haying, picking stones, cementing, helping to smooth out the ground after a field had been ditched and cleaning out the manure in pens. • The program in which the 16 year old is taking part, is one in which a youth with no farming experience learns what the life is like. The farmer pays $6 a day, plus r providing room and board and the govern-1 ment also provides $6 a day. Beth said farming was basically what she thought it would be, except that, "there's a. variety of things to do and so manyi different jobs." She had thought it might be the same thing day after day. She was interested in getting experience working with farm animals, because in the future she is thinking of becoming a vet., Her on-the-job training has helped give her, experience working with large animals. UV until now, the only experience she had was. working with horses. Getting up early didn't bother her either since she, was used to getting up to go to , school at approximately the same time - 15:45. a.m. Last year as a summer job she' worked at the Long Point Bird Observatory • where she helped with such activities as banding the birds.. NOT GOOD AT ALL Although she has experienced no major difficulties, Beth said the farm activities took a little while to get used to. "I'm still not too good at driving the tractor at all," she said, adding that driving forward is alright but she still has a little trouble going in reverse. Beth is obviously enjoying her stay at the Shobbrooks. "It's nice to be outside working. I like it out here in the country, away from the city." TWO FARMS The Shobbrooks have two farms com- prising , 221 acres, 100 acres on the home plaq and 121 on the farm across the road. They have 145 head of beef cattle and grow corn for ensilage, mixed grain for feeding, hay and pasture. This is the first time they have had a Junior Agriculturalist there and Mr. Shob-, brook said he would do it again. "The only reason I'd hesitate, is because I think Beth is going to be a pretty hard act' to follow," he smiles. The Shobbrooks' children, Julie and Dean, help out at the farm if they're at home, but they both., have other jobs. Mr. Shobbrook also had an Agricrew in this • Huronview people ride to Wingham The congregation enjoyed a duet by Cecil Skinner and, Nelson Lear at the Sunday morning service. The anthem number sung by the choir was Jesus! Sunday afternoon, the Baptiat Young People from Exeter gave a ministry in song. The service was enjoy- ed by all who attended. Because our picnic at Stratford was rained out on Monday we decided to add more miles to the 49,000' already on the van and take Mac Lovett, Eleanor Burke, Josie Boyle, Tina Mac- Naughton, Gertrude Cornell, Dora Buchanan and Mary Ross for a van ride ) to Wingham. In the afternoon, Mary Van Camp, Frank Bis- sett, Charlotte Dearing, Eber Lewis, Harold Walker and Elsie Henderson went shop- ping at the Goderich Mall. Taking advantage of ap- pointments in London on Wednesday, Margaret Mur- ray went along for the ride and had a nice visit with her sister who lives in London. Wednesday afternoon the Residents in Special Care had a treat when the SWIM team (Summer Workshop in Ministries) came and spent the time with them singing all the old favourite hymns. With eager anticipation we look forward to August 9th when Burton Upon Trent Youth Choir from Stafford- shire, England will sing. This choir was formed in 1968 and is made up of pupils, ex- pupils and young teachers of schools in and around Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. The chbir's repertoire is var- ied and it performs mainly unaccompanied. The choir has toured United States as well as Canada and we are most fortuante that they are coming to Goderich and also to Huronview. All readers are invited to come and hear this great choir, August 9th at 2 p.m. in the auditorium. Ed Stiles entertained at the organ Thursday after- noon. Sympathy is expressed to the family of Myrtle Cook. Huionview would like to welcome Miss Leah Currie from= ingham. A Post Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried one?
