No other organization for youth in Ontario is more proud of its past, is more exciting and full of vitality in the present or has the potential for a brighter future than the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario. For the last 70 years young people between the ages of 15 and 29 have been meeting to explore common interests, to organize a great variety of fascinating activi- ties and to enjoy the friendship and .:ompany of their peers. At the same time they have found them- selves learning skills of leadership and becoming involved in their local communities thus fulfilling the motto of the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario -- "Self Help and Community Better- ment." Today over 6,000 members from rural and urban Ontario take part in sports, singing, dancing, public speaking, debating and drama, competitions, participate in trips with other provinces and coun- tries, plan social, agricultural and community oriented activities, at- tend camps and workshops which teach leadership skills and meet other young people from all over the province. All this in an atmosphere of fun and fellowship makes Junior Farmers an organ- ization unrivalled in its diversity of opportunity. The Junior Farmers every- where are marching right along. Our eyes are bright, our steps are light and on our lips a song." These opening lines of the Junior Farmer song paint an accurate picture of the organization -- a group of energetic and enthusiastic young people marching proudly forward into a truly better than ever future pating and on Tuesday tables of cards were played.
