Chester A. Archibald MAYOR TOWN OF CLINTON I? I ARM .n opo By Larry Plaetzer Junior Farmers is not just for farmers. It is for young people 15 to 29 years old who want to participate in a social service club. The Junior Farmer motto is "Self Help and Community Betterment", and members strive to provide leadership skills to young people so they may become a par- ticipating part of the growing community. To be affiliated with the Junior Farmers, the clubs are required to report on at least one community betterment project, have a meeting on Junior Farmer structure and on parliamentary procedure. This year the Clinton club has donated money to the Clin- ton Hospital Equipment Fund and with the county association they adopted a foster child. There are five Junior Farmer Clubs in Huron County - Clinton, West Huron, South Huron, Seaforth and Howick. Clubs in Huron are part of the Zone 7 area •which also includes clubs in the counties of Perth, Grey and Bruce. Head offices for the Ontario Junior Farmer Association are situated in Guelph. Parliamentary procedure is the organized form of operating a meeting. An idea is ex- pressed in the form of a .motion. It must have some interest and be seconded or it is dropped. If the motion • is seconded it is discussed and voted on by a majority to ac- cept or reject the idea. If meetings were not carried out in some formal manner, there would be much confu- sion and pointless length, leading to endless discussion. There is much more to parliamentary procedure and sometimes you might think it is pointless to know these facts but it is important 'as in-service clubs; Lions, Kinsmen, Optimists,- student body representatives in council, professional conferences doctors, nurses teachers and churches, - factories in management and unions, - federation of agriculture and all businesses. Although you may join .a'Junior .Farmer club any time, there are two times a year a person may join the provincial organization, in October and April. • Why join and what's in it for me? First of all, you will only get out of it what you put in! If you just go to one meeting and it seems boring and you never return you have not given yourself a fair chance. Junior Farmers have almost anything you want because you direct your interests to the ex-. .ecutives and they work for you. They have dances, mainly for fund raising and operating, expenses,.
