Racine, president of the Canadian Council en 4-11 Clubs, has officially announced the commencerrtent of 50th Anniversary year activities for Canada's '12, 000 4-11 Club 'members. The story of the develop- ment of 4-H Clubs in Canada, known originally as boys and girls clubs, is in itself a unique drama of success, achieve- ment and unrelented growth RACKACHE When kidneys fail to remove excess acids and wastes, backache—tired foeling— disturbod rest often may follow. Dodd'a Kidney Pills stimulate kidneys to normal duly. You feel better, steep better, work better. 80 Akin only to the growth and evolution of Canadian agricul- ture itself, The drama began in Mani- toba in the year 1913 with the formation of eight boys and girls clubs, the first of which was organized at Roland. Ac- cording to the Manitoba De- partment of Agriculture report for the year 1913, "Each club held a most successful fair where the chickens, potatoes and corn produced by the mem- bers were exhibited, At pre- sent, there are 4'72 very en- thusiastic club members and it is certain that they have gain- ed much practical agricultural knowledge from their summer club work".

This was a remarkable development considering that many district representatives of the Depart- ment had enlisted for World War I duty, leaving the res- ponsibility for the work on the shoulders of inspectors, teach- ers and public-spirited citizens. A similar pattern of develop- ment and growth took place in the rest of Canada's provinces between the years 1913 and 1922. Roland, Manitoba, will thus become the official site of the beginning of the 4-H movement in Canada. On May 12th next an appropriate memento will be unveiled in the town to commemorate the founding of the first club in Canada, Among other 50th Anniver- sary functions planned for the year are: An active part by Canadian 4-H members in the World Freedom From Hunger campaign; inter -provincial exchange - a 'new 4-1-1 activ- ity involving farm to farm visits in which each province will send one delegate to each of the other nine provinces; a special program for National 4-H Club Week in November; as well as numerous interven- ing functions throughout the year. Provincially, 4-H Club work is a responsibility of the Departments of Agriculture (Department of Education in Newfoundland, and the Uni- ' versity Extension Department in Saskatchewan). 4-H Clubs hold an average of eight or more meetings per year, all ' conducted according to parlia- mentary procedure. The mem- bers elect their own officers and help to organize each year's program of activities. They also learn to express themselves in public and work together on club and commun- ity projects. Canada is one of more than 60 countries with organized 4-H Club activities. Here's a thought from the Ontario Safety League: Don't try to outdistance, outman- oeuvre, out -bluff or out -brag other drivers... try to outlive them. W.A. Starts Work On May Bale GORRIE-Mrs..

Just common sense, We discovered, a long time ago, that water and winter don't mix. A conventibnai car has about foul' gal - P.' Ions of water to heat before the engine runs properly. instead of water, a Volkswagen is cooled with air. No matter how cold the weather, the air is warmed almost in- . , scantly. Heat that is usually absorbed by water warms the carburetor and oil for faster starts. (The automatic choke pre- vents stalling.) There are other reasons why the Volks, wagen is a winter wonder. The bottom of the VW is flat so it doesn't get involved with deep snow. (You can shovel the walk, but the driveway is optional.) There's also better traction- because ractionbecause the engine is in the rear with its weight over the drive wheels. And we have one more amazing gim- mick. it keeps our car from rusting. It's tolled paint. (We didn't invent it. We just use more of it. Four coats, inside and out.) if cold mornings give you motoring problems, sec your Volkswagen dealer. He's got the best key to winter driving. ININGHAM BODY SHOP P, O. BOX 279 TELEPHONE 357.1102 To Campaign Monday Night The Wingharn Kinette Club will conduct its annual blitz for the local March of Dimes campaign Monday night, Jan- uary 28th, The 1963 March of Dimes objective for Ontario is up 16 per cent - $750, 000 compared to $650, 000 in 1962. This higher goal is simply a reflection of increased need re- sulting from the growing scope and coverage of facilities and services provided through the Rehabilitation Foundation for the Disabled. Many people, would be sur- prised at the variety of ways in which the Foundation works for the disabled in Ontario. In general terms, it provides medi- cal and vocational rehabilita- tion for handicapped men and women over the age of 18. The Rehabilitation Founda- tion embodies 10 branch boards, 10 district case -work offices, 6 workshops for the disabled and Operation Reliance Incor- porated, a factory for the dis- abled in Toronto. At the mo- ment, the Foundation is assist- ing 8,800 disabled men and women throughout the province. Please greet the Marching Kin- etts and their volunteers who call at your homes with as generous a contributions as you can manage.
