He succeeds Barry Wilier of R.R. 3, Exeter. Vice-presidents are John VanVliet, R.R. 2 Brussels and Brian Oldfield, R.R. 4 Seaforth; and secretary - treasurer, Maurice Hallahan, R,R.1 Belgrave. Len MacGregor, extension assistant for Huron County for the ministry of agriculture and food, reported last year there were 373 4-11 members in Huron enrolled in 32 dubs taking 500 projects with a completion rate of 92 per cent. Of the 373 members, 102 are senior members and the average age is 14.5- years with the average tenure in 4- Habout 3.1 years. Don Pullen, Huron County Agricultural Represen- tative, comlmerded the 4-11 club leaders for looking ahead to build a good sound future, contributing to youth leadership and providing encouragement and guidance while young people are living in - a time of discovery. Mr. Pullen said, "We can encourage them to be am- bitious but youth must have a purpose and a long-lasting motive. We are trying to help them to achieve, to ac- complish, things that will eventually pay off, and we are helping them to make ,choices from all thedifferent alternatives that they are being asked to make." He said youth asks, "How do I know what I want to be. Maybe my job hasnt' been invented yet!" He added, "The crown of life is the exercise of choice." Mr. Pullen said that ability varies but youth must have - the ability to do things, adaptability to cope with new things and reliability to do things well, and keep on believing in what one is doing as "we learn to do by doing". He said success is not won without effort, thought alone is no use, action is necessary. Courage and tenacity are necessary and "we must learn to take knocks and develop the tendency to persevere in spite of kindness, discouragement and im- possibilities. Mr. Pullen spoke of the need to get along with all sorts of people, which is a sign of maturity. He said maturity involves willingness to listen and look, knowing what is real or illusionaryk ability to discriminate to choose. told the leaders the meeting is a chance to up- date and to look ahead. Paul Steckle the Stanley Township reeve, com- mended the leaders for giving a lot of time to the young people and in co- ordinating community ac- tivities. He said not many people are afforded the chance to be born and able to live in Huron County – a heritage that can't be fully measured – the only truly agricultural county in the province_ During the business meeting, 11 was agreed to have a 4-H beef show in the fall with the beef club leaders. serving on the committee to work out the details such as time and date.

(photo by Oke) CIANTON D, THURSDAY, JANIMAY 21,MI—PAGE 13 Use good sense on the snowmobile BY LEN kfacGREGOR, EXTENSION ASSISTANT There are a number- of serious snowmobiling ac- cidents each year. Many of these mishaps could have been avoided it operators had used common sense. Snowmobilers should use their machines the same as they would a car on a highway. Follow safe driv- ing rules to avoid accidents with your snowmobile this winter. Every year a number of people experience serious mishaps as a result of operating snowmobiles in extreme cold. To avoid such incidents, dress adequately for cold temperatures. Be sure your snowmobile is mechanically fit. Don't vele ture..tanfar 1 or in- to unfamiliar territory, and always carry spare parts for your machine. A healthy respect for mother nature is vital for safe snowmobiling during cold weather. BY RON FLEMING, AG. ENGINEER THE ICE-IFIGHTERS How do you fight ice? Ice can be an nuisance and even a hazani around the farm and home. There are three deals which are cern- moldy used to get rid of ice. These are salt, calcium chloride, and urea. They all work by forming a solution that has a lower freezing point than plain water. Common salt (sodium chloride) is the cheapest and easiest to get. Unrefmed rock salt costs about six cents per pound. It is only ef- fective down to temperatures of about -12 degrees C., calcium chloride is the best chemical to u.set. It is effective to temperatures of around -22 degrees C. It is just as corrosive to metals and as lethal to plants as salt. Sold in flakes, it costs a-.111.1 40 its per poluid.. Urea is actually a high nitrogen fertilizer, but it is very effective in your battle with ice. It actually helps plants grow if used in moderation. However, it is only good at dissolving ice for air temperatures down to -4 degrees C. The cost of urea is about 25 cents per pound. Sometimes, mixtures of these chemicals are sold. Stanley council okays pay increases Salcey increases were ap- proved at last week's Stanley Township council meeting.

A casual laborer will make $6.25 an hour. All represent an increase of• about 10 percent. The township joined a number of associations, such as the Ontario Good Roads Association for a fee of $31.
