If you do, you'll be looking forward to our new spring project in Huron County called "Your Corner of the World" and if you don't why not jbin' a club in your owu community right away, so that °you won't miss. out on this delightful, brand-new project. "Your Corner of the World" deals with the club member', bedroom. We are going t� be looking at suitable floor plans, choosing colour schemes in which you will co-ordinate fabric for floor coverings, drapes, wall coverings and ac- cessories for your bedroom. Club members, as well, will be working on macrame as a craft and completing a sampler of knots. Then, each member will have a chance to put their new- - found talent into practice by making a free - choice article which can be an accessory for their bedroom or an accessory,for themselves. Macrame isgnot a hard craft. It is very easy to learn, and I am sure that for those who have done it before, you will• find it a very relaxing and enjoyable hobby: Members will be becoming interior designers ' in their own right by making a design collection of their favourite pictures which could apply -to a b.edrroom•,. and..-wh-i h will show -tl it -Tikes and - dislikes, and definite tastes in home decorating. For leaders, as well, this course offers a good - introduction to interior design, and, hopefully,' they will -be able to get as rriuch out of the course as do the member -s. • If you are 12 to ,26 years of age, boy or girl, . living in either the country or in a town in Huron County, you can belong to 4-H too. All you need to do is contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Clinton at 482-3428 or Zenith 7-2800,,The Home Economist will put you in Tcitt'z'h"�vith the club in your local corrirnunity. So good luck with 4-H this winter. FARM -INCOME TAX UPDATE SESSION - . BY DON POLLEN AG. REP.' Taxation is one of the major factors that in- fluences the decisions made by the farm manager in the operation of tl e farrn business. Since 1972, when the Tax Reform legislation became- `effective, there have been many changes from year to year in the tax laws related to agriculture. The result has been an increased xieed for an information source which the farmer can use to assist in. understanding the ap- propriate tax management strategies. Accordingly, a Farm Income Tax Update Session has keen arranged for Monday, February 11 (Note - day correction from printing - in -the Ontario Mini-(4-y-r'--Agrjettlture and Food Programs folder), from 10 a.m until 3:30 p.m, at the Agricultural Office- Board Room.
