Attends national conference ..(froni the Blyth Standard) „ (by Joe Phelan) Huron County Delegate, 1973 National 4-H Conterence Learning, meeting new people and having fun;. that's what the 1973 National 4-H Conference was for me. Have you ever tried finding your way into the heart of Toronto from the maze of highways around 'that city? I had never until 1. was on my way to the Conference. That was an ordeal in itself. Then when I reached the Royal York Hotel where the conference was held, a place to park for the next five days was the same story. Once inside the hotel I felt I was home free and ready for a good week. I proceeded to check in only to find that there appeared to be no room reserved for me. So , I checked in with another Ontario delegate. Later I found out that they had misspelled my name on the reservation list. All the Ontario delegates met for luncheon before the conference. I was the only one who had never ridden on a subway, been to Niagara Falls or the Ontario Science Centre. i The conference started with a. get-acquainted program where everyone was put -into discussion groups with a delegate from each province and one from the United - States in it. These groups were where we shared with the other delegates what our 4-H program was like. We discussed the 4-H image and how we can change it because after all "4-H ain't all cows and cooking". The 4-H image should be one of character building through . individual and group achievements. Most of our .meals were semi-formal banquets sponsored by different companies that are members of the Canadian Council on 4-H clubs. At each meal we had a little sing-song to liven things up. These sing-songs often carried on during our bus rides to Niagara Falls, the Science Centre, the NHL game, the Royal Winter Fair and often well into the night. One of my room mates, Marvin Rhind from Nova Scotia was a 'member of a band back home and played a guitar. This made for a glorious time singing songs and telling yarns until the wee small hours of the morning. On Monday evening after our banquet we had a dance provided by International Harvester. It was really interesting to note the 'way different provincial delegates danced. I found that very few girls from the east could polka. l• The French dance was very different and looked like a lot of I fun. On Tuesday, Claire Edie from Manitoba and myself were interviewed on the CBC radio Noon Show by George Atkins. We were asked about the 4-H conference and how we got there and also about what 4-H does for us. The whole conference was c a great experience in meeting people, sharing ideas and feeling ! true fellowship together. The only thing. I regretted about this conference was blaring to leave it. .was deeply moving that last evening and the morning we left, with a few shedding tears and we said goodbye to many friends we May never see again, 1 wish to thank the Canadian Two Sunday evening song services were held during the month of November sponsored by the South Huron Christian Women's.
