Junior Farmers
planning
for future
Junior Farmers -- better than
ever! 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. Howard Clark
was honoured with a birthday party
with his wife Mary bringing in a
birthday cake. Guests attending
were Howard's sister Mrs. Bone,
Mr. and Mrs. John McArter and
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald McArter.
Miss Lorran McDonald visited
with her aunt Dorothy Higgins also
on Tuesday.
Wednesday, congratulations
were extended to Carol and Bill
Stevenson on the safe arrival of
their 7 Ib., 10 oz. baby girl. Carol
Stevenson is a Health Care Aide at

The discussion group led by
Karen Cardiff, Jean Evans and
Jeannette Boynton chatted with
the residents on Friday afternoon
and in the evening Rev. Zehr and
his congregation from the Brussels
Mennonite Church held their
