CLINTON - Sometime ago, the Clinton
Bluewater Club raised money by selling
tickets on an afgan which was donated by
the club's secretary -treasurer. In turn, the
money was donated to Operation Eyesight.
Just recently, the club received a letter
explaining what has been done with these
funds.
Briefly, the money bought equipment for
the Bangladesh National Society for the
Blind Eye Hospital in Khulna. They pur-
chased a distilling unit which makes their
eye drops and other medicines which re-
quire distilled water. Also for sterlizing
their instruments as it prevents the build-up

LONDON - About 400 Junior Farmers
from across the province met for their An-
nual March Conference at the Holiday Inn in
London, March 14 =16.
The theme for this year's conference was
Growing For The Future. Delegates worked
on developing various skills such as leader-
ship and communication while they, met
fellow Junior Fanner members.
The March conference combines the
organization's annual meeting with the elec-
tion of the provincial president and • vice-
president as well as an atmosphere con-
ducive to learning. The program was filled
with guest speakers and active group
discussions.
One of the highlights of the March con-
ference was a banquet and dance. At this oc-
casion, a candlelight ceremony marked the
induction of provincial' directors and ex-
ecutive for the upcoming year and the an-
nouncements were made of selected win-
ners of interprovincial and overseas trips.
Huron County sent 12 delegates to this
event, all of whom came back with renewed
enthusiasm.
