The young people studied leadership and communication skills, interpersonal skills, business history and philosophy. The weeklong summer workshops were held near Orillia. Thirty young adults between the ages of 18 and 21 attended the 18th annual Young Leaders camps, organized by United Co- operatives of Ontario (UCO) and the Co- operative College of Canada, in mid-August, at Geneva Park, near Orillia. The .participants, each sponsored by either a co-operative or a credit"union came from across the province, to attend these two camps, each of which were one week long ( August 10 to 17 and 17 to 23) . On the agenda were leadership and com- munication sljills, interpersonal skills and co-operative/credit union history and business philosphy. "Today, farmers realize .they, like any other businessman, must control as many facets of their business as possible," says Reg Cressman, UCO director of education and public relations. "They must concern themselves not only with the science of pro- duction, but with the equally important aspects of management, marketing, com- munication and rural leadership. "The co-operative system offers them the opportunity to have their needs, as they ex- ist beyond the farm gate, expressed in the marketplace. The participants of these camps are tomorrows leaders and our goal is to help give them skills they can use in this capacity." During the 18 year program of these camps (formerly called Youth Camp), over 540 young people have participated. Today, many of them are leaders in rural and agricultural organizations. One early • graduate is Claude Gauthier, elected last year as UCO' Director, Zone 1 (northern On- tario). Resource people were, from UCO: Reg Cressman, director of education and public relations; Stan Whiston, co-operative development co-ordinator; and Carol Staples, communications assistant. From St. Willibrocd Community credit Union, there was Harry Joosten, membership and marketing supervisor,, 'Two others we Amy Dauphinee, director, Credit UrTiSn Central of Ontario and her husband Tim Dauphinee, consultant to fh' 1Vatinnal Page A Research Council. UCO is the largest farm supply and marketing co-operative in Ontario, with sales last fiscal year of $537 million. It pro- vides a complete line of farm inputs, in- cluding feed, seed, fertilizer, petroleum and hardware through about 100 CO-OP Sales and Service Centres across the province. It also markets livestock and grain. UCO is owned by 48,450 individual members and 45 member co-ops representing another 39,000 members. Whyjotn Junior Farmers?

The Provincial Association also carries out a number of activities for members over the course of the year. There are Winter and Summer Games, where the sports en- thusiast can show his/her talents;. Culturama (a one -act play festival and debating, public speaking and slide presen- tation competitions); and Sing -Swing (a festival of musical and dance competitions).
