Village Squire, 1978-12, Page 37University of Guelph on May 31, 1977 when group leaders from
each of the previous workshops were invited to summarize the
feeling of the workshop he represented.
Out of the workshop program has come the first physical
evidence of the R.D.O.P. program in the form of a 75 -page book
The Changing Rural Community, summarizing the discussion of
the workshops. It contains some interesting reading with
speakers such as Marion Meredity, Resource Economist with the
Economics Branch of Agriculture Canada in Ottawa speaking to
the professional and public service group, who outlined the
problems and effects of urban dominance on rural communities.
Other workshop speakers included Lila Engberg, Associate
Professor, Department of Family Studies, College of Family and
Consumer Studies, University of Guelph for the workshop on
rural women; N.R. Richards, Professor, Dept. of Land Resource
Science, O.A.C. at the farmer operators' workshop; Douglas H.
Pletsch. School of Agricultural Economics and Extension
Education, O.A.C. for the rural youth workshop; Prof. Harvey
W. Caldwell, School of Agricultural Economics and Extension
Education, O.A.C. at the workshop on the rural elderly; George
L. Brinkman, associate professor, School of Agricultural
Economics and Extension Education, O.A.C. at the workshop for
rural business people and Prof. Anthony M. Fuller Director of
the R.D.O.P. at the summary workshop.

project and to become acquainted with the community and that
process began about,a year ago.
Then beginning in May 1977, a rented farmhouse six miles
from Wingham became the headquarters for a team of four
university students and one local resident who conducted a
community survey of the Turnberry and Wingham areas.
Through May. June and July they interviewed people chosen at
random from a list of all residents of the area. The survey was in
two parts. the first a household survey, a questionnaire format
with questions on household management, leisure activities,
