Self Help And Community Betterment • By The Country Mouse Last evening, I' attended Talent . Festival '75, "designed to encour- age Junior Farmers to develop their appreciation of the cultural activities of Rural Ontario, and to provide an opportunity to members to exhibit their talents": I was invited by a friend in the Extension Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. As we looked over, the crowd of 2000 young people in the Canadian, Room of the Royal York she said -"PeoPle who criticize youth should be here to see and hear these rural • young people". As the evening ' went on, I mentally contrasted their opportunities with ours - more • education, broader interests and greater opportunities which cer- tainly gave them more self-assur- ance. Elizabeth Facey. M.C.'d .the evening, 'which 'seemed very' ap- propriate this Women's Year. The program began with the massed choirs singing two numbers. I enjoyed their ' young voices and their ab ility to bring 'out the four part harmony. Next,, the winning choir - from Middlesex County - sang a 'number. They Sang with fine tone and good dynamic coritragt-g. The Wiiirier orthe-Priblit Speaking Competition, who spoke on Canadian Women, was also from Middlesex. Two girls tied for first place in, Ladies' Vocal solo. Both sang _well and deserved the prize, but • I preferred the more natural manner of the first singer. They sang with' piano accompani- ment. The winner of the Men's Vocal Solo, from Oxford County, played his own guitar accompani- ment. The winners of the Old Time Square Dance Set came froth Grey County. The Caller was a girl; and the group proVIdifig the music was from Elgin Coun,ty. Next, the prograM took a lighter turn, "with two Special Talent Performances. The first was a skit based on Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The Dairy Queen and the Seven Cows. There was a Narrator, The Queen, Seven 'Cows' and two or three 9,ther characters. That group came from Waterloo County and if I got the message correctly, they were trying to tell about the disappear- ance of prime agricultural land under high rises and concrete.• The other Special, was a Trio by The three Old Maids from, M Middlesex County. • They were dressed in most ridiculous costumes and sang in high, sharp piercing voices: These numbers were non-competi- tive. Then we returned to the winners of the dayi competitions with the winners of the Ladies' Trio. I enjoyed the singing of these girls from Ontario County. The Durham County Choir sang next and they had some of the most beautiful pianissimos of all the singers. The Modern Square Dance ' Set, came from Ontario County. The Caller was almost singing and in quite a lively syncopated rhythm. The girls were in light full skirts and crinolines and light blouses, and how they swung those skirts! If .I heard correctly, the winner of the Essay Contest was from Huron, and I was glad to hear that name at last. The Poetry competitors were tied; one from Elgin and one from Prince Edward County. The Debating team came from Middle- sex -and there were several other awards to Oxford. The Folk Singing winners were from Elgin County. • • • ' As some of you may know, the Junior Farmers and United Co-ops Of Ontario sponsor some Travelling Scholarships. These are exchanges and there was great interest waiting forthe name of the winner. He is Peter Fleming .of Oxford County, and he, goes to Australia and -New Zealand-, ---representing Youth in ' Canada and learning at first 'hand about farm_Jife 'Down Under'. Six young people were chosen for the Scholarship to the United Kingdom, and at last Huron County and Bruce County were recognized. Jim Hammil from Tara and Jim Phelan' from Blyth were, among the winners. The others were 'from Durham, Perth, Peter- borough and Lanark Counties. When the names were announced these young people got a standing ovation. The Agricultural Repres- entative, Henry Stanley, of Halton,, County will accompany the young, people to Britain. As so often happens, a few people in a group can cause some unpleasantness and unhappiness to' all the others. Apparently, there was some rowdy behaviour in the hotel the night before. The retiring President of the Ontario Junior Farmers, 'Glenn Ruegg, brought .this very forcibly to the attention of the audience. explaining how such behaviour was a reflection on the whole group and hoping most fervently that it would not occur another year. My thought was, some of these sophistioated citY people will be blaming it on the „"yokels from the country', quite ignoring the almost 2000 others whose appearance and deportment, all evening was a splendid example of how most rural young people DO behave when they are away from home. I was; proud to be your old Country Mouse. The evening ended with a dance and the young people I saw iri their finery were a credit to Ontario and a final comment, during the dance, milk was available! Pro •life Group • Hotel Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Goderich and District Pro Life Association was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Munro, Goderich on• Monday 'evening, February 17..

LUCKNOW ARENA Questions Policy For Kindergarten The admission policy for kinder- gartens in Bruce was criticized last week by former teacher Mrs. Jacqueline Clements, now a Kinc- ardine mother and housewife. Qualifying age for admission is five but, Mrs. Clements told the Bruce Board of Education, this age could, apply .at the start of any of the three terms of the school year. She felt that keeping a child out of kindergarten when he is ready for the experience is detrimental. Mrs. Clements also asked the board to have French taught in the primary grades where the child is most receptive. In future, due to governmental policy, job, oppor- Vanities may depend on knowing both official languages, she said. The Ontario Public School Trust- ees Association and Ontario Hydro have' dropped their joint sponsor- ship of public speaking contests in elementary schools. The County Council will pick up the tab for the finals now, the board meeting was told. Superintendent Keith Waldie told the board that the former sponsors claimed a lack of interest on the part , of participants. That lack was evident in' Toronto but in the counties interest is increasing, Waldie said. For the public speaking contest, the. county 'has been divided into nine districts embracing all public and separate schools. The public speaking finals, will be held in April at Paisley. Completion of the new high school at Port Elgin is expected by late spring. SHUR-GAIN ESSENTIAL 'MINERALS *1 FOR NON-LEGUME FEEDING To be fed where the roughage is grass, hay or corn silage.
