Students
encouraged
to study
conservation
HURON COUNTY - Today's students will
be the natural resource managers of tomor-
row. That is the strong belief of -the Ausable
Bayfield(A.B.C.A.) and Maitland Valley
Conservation Authorities, . and it has led
them to involvement in the Huron County
Science Fair.
The Ausable Bayfield and Maitland
Valley Conservation Authorities, in coy
operation with the Huron County Science
Fair, Committee, will present a conservation
award to encourage students to explore the
complex and a,x.. g n"^field conservation.
(j .
The award will be presented at the conclu-
sion of the county -wide science fair.
Conservation education has long been a
concern of the -two conservation authorities -
each one operates its own education pro-
gram. These are programs where con-
servation authority staff conduct the
.teaching. '
"The conservation award should promote
conservation education beyond the facilities
and capabilities of the conservation
authorities," according to Gregory Pulham,
Community Relations Co-ordinator with the
ABCA. Pulham says that the award could
extend conservation education to schools,
classrooms and students that have not been
involved in the authorities' programs. "It
also gives students cause to study con-
servation in more detail."
Debra Perkin, Conservation Education
Technician with the Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authority, explains that the com-
petition is open to students in Grades 7 and 8

Role of rural women
featured at museum
The role of rural women will be the focus
of a feature exhibit at the Ontario
Agricultural Museum, July 1 to Aug. 22.
The exhibit will be located in the
museum's Gambrel Bicentennial Barn.
"Rural Women - Labor and Leisure", will
allow visitors to trace the role of rural
women in Ontario and their contribution to
farm and community life over the past 150
years. This display will feature the work of
women on the farrn and in the home and her
leisure pursuits in the home and off the
farm.
The evolution of rural life beginning with
the laborious lifestyle of the 1830's, the
defined role of women in the 1880s to the
visibility of women in the social, educational
and political forums of the 1930s will be
featured. In addition, a realistic look at the
role of farm women in the 1980s will be
highlighted as they share equal respon-
sibilities in the business of farming during a
, time which affords greater opportunities for
personal fulfillment.
