Why join Jr. For about the cost of a record album, young people in Ontario can buy membership in an organ­ ization that will give them a whole year of social activities and person­ al challenge. The Junior Farmers’ Associa­ tion of Ontario offers its members, who range in age from 15 to 29, a wide variety of interesting activi- tives, including travel, sports, cultural activities, and leadership training programmes. Junior Farmers is an entirely self-governed organization, affor­ ding each and every one of its members the opportunity to take on leadership roles, in the local clubs as well as in the Provincial Association. Toward this end, a variety of programmes are organ­ ized as educational opportunities, ranging from a week-long leader­ ship training camp, to executive training workshops, to communi­ cation workshops. Many elected officials and lead­ ers in the agricultural community credit their early leadership train­ ing in Junior Farmers for their later accomplishments. Of course, a vital organization of young people calls for a large portion of social activity. Besides community betterment projects, which benefit their community as a whole, local clubs organize many events each year for members, including sports competitions and dances. The Provincial Association also carries out a number of activities for members over the course of the year. There are Winter and Summer Games, where the sports enthusiast can show his/her tal­ ents; Culturama (a one-act play festival and debating, public speaking and slide presentation competitions); and Sing Swing (a festival of musical and dance competitions). If travelling to new places, meeting new people and learning about other parts of the world interest you, Junior Farmers can offer you travel scholarships to other Canadian Provinces, the United States, the United King­ dom, Australia, New Zealand and western Europe. Junior Farmers also send delegates regularly to conferences and workshops for ruralyouth, inmany partsofthe globe. As you can see. the reasons for joining Junior Farmers are as wide and varied as the membership itself, and best part is that the Bob Gordon’s Sunday School class gave a puppet presentation about “Working Together” with Ruth Higgins reading the appropriate scripture. The Junior Choir sang “Father I Adore You” and also the “Bene­ diction” at the close of the service accompanied by Mrs. George Procter at the organ. Following the service, lunch was served in the Sunday School Room. Tara and Erin Johnston of Ilderton are spending this week with their grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Rob Roy and Christina of Lakefield and Miss Sheila Anderson of Waterloo spent the weekend with their parents Mr. and Mrs. Ross Anderson. Jeremy Nixon of Waterloo is spending the March vacation with his grandmother Mrs. Olive Bolt. Farmers? programmes and activities are constantly changing and improv­ ing to meet the needs of its members. For personal development, social activity and a valuable learning experience, no organiza­ tion can compare with the Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario.
