We took a bus that went around to each school to pick up the students and their projects, and when we arrived at Clinton Public School we had to set our projects up in the time provided. Afterwards we could go and watch a movie while the four judges went around and looked at the projects, and later we were asked tositwithour projects for judging. The judges went around to every project; the majority were judged three times. The judging was over around 4 p.m. and we returned home. Saturday, April 11 was open house from 9 - 11 a.m., then the awards were present. It was an interesting experience for Patty Knight, Darren Johnston and myself.

We will visit the Science Centre in the morning and will see the national Science Fair exhibits at York University in the afternoon. EQUAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES BY MARGARET JARVIS Atonetime, as recently as the beginning of this century, a woman’s place was in the home and a man’s was at work. Times have changed. We now have women doctors, lawyers, ppliticans and even truck drivers. Historically, womenearned the right to vote and to participate in all aspects of political, social and economic life. Up until the early 1900’s women were not even able to participate in the Olympics. In today’s world, women are making a stand for themselves.

It’s the woman’s choice to go to work. With the high price of food, housing and clothing, a woman in some cases almost has to work and help support the family. - I am glad to see a bigger percentage of women going out and showing what they can do. When selecting my courses for high school this year I found many different areas where I could work in the future that were not available 30 years ago.
