Eighteen library assistants have been chosen to help with many tasks in the library. It is the responsibility of these people to keep up 'with any work that they may have missed in their classes while working in the library. / We had a "What's It?" kit in the library. It was on loan from the Huron County Pioneer Museum and contained 10 exhibits dating back to pioneer times. The students tried to guess what each item was from modern clues that were also displayed. On Friday afternoon, Mr. Scotchmer, from the museum gave a presentation during an assembly in the gym. He told us what the artifacts were and explained how they worked in the pioneer times. Last .Oct. 15, Mrs. Young and Miss Mathers' Grade 1' classes went to Art Bell's apple orchard. They also 'went to Zehrs in Goderich and learned about vegetables at harvest time.

The focus is on increasing public awareness of 4-1-1, which has evolved from an agricul- ture -centred youth club into a sophistic- ated program promoting responsible citizenship, leadership, social aware- ness and independence through achievement in skill -development pro- jects. At the same time, the basic concept of encouraging young people to "learn to , do by doing" has been maintained. In Ontario credit goes to the five thousand leaders from all walks of life who share their time and expertise in co-ordinating local 4-H groups.
