Sully and Legion Branch 109 (Lancaster) scholarship awards com- mittee announced this week that this year there were three university students, who were each recipients of a $500 scholarship from the Sully Branch 109 scholarship fund. These former Goderich Collegiate students are Edward Turton, who is study- ing Medicine at the' University of Western Ontario; David Weaver, who is pursuing a degree in Optometry at the University of Waterloo; and Brian Treble, who will com- mence his Masters degree in Honours Geography (Urban Development) at the University of Waterloo. Each of these students had an outstanding academic record last year. This year this scholar- ship attracted nine applicants. Any former Goderich Collegiate student, not necessarily related to a war veteran, may apply for this scholarship if they have completed at least one academic year at a Canadian University in one Engineering, Medicine or Dentistry. Also, any student who has completed two years towards an Honours degree in any subject is eligible to apply for this scholarship. Awards are bas- ed on high academic standing. The AVM J.A. Sully Legion Branch 109 scholarship is administered by a commit- tee consisting of representatives from both the Sully Foundation and Legion Branch 109. This scholarship was made possible when Bruce Sully, of the Sully Foundation donated $10,000 to Legion Branch 109 to be held in trust. The annual interest on this donation is used to finance this scholarship. This donation was given to Branch 109 when the Branch transferred its Lancaster bomber, once on display in front of the en- trance to Sky Harbour Airport to the Warplane Heritage Foundation at Mount Hope airport near Hamilton. Warplane Heritage has a collection of World War II aircraft and is presently putting the Lan- caster back in flying condition. Each year in April the Branch adver- tises for applicants for this scholarship which is awarded by August 15 of each year. Application formas are available from the Branch secretary or by contac- ting the guidance office of the Goderich Collegiate.

The Agricrew and Junior Agriculturalist programs that have been working out of Huron County come to an end on August 21. Many people throughout the county have been involved with these agricultural pro- jects, whether through being a host farm family for a junior agriculturalist or hiring agricrew. This year has been very suc- cessful, for the agricrew in particular, as they were booked up solidly throughout the summer. Four crews of four people were in opera- tion for agricrew. Approximately 25 youths participated in the program. As a result, 65 farmers were serviced. For next year, as a reminder, if you have a date in mind, phone in early. This way, you are assurred of hav- ing an agricrew work for you on your farm. There were 10 junior agriculturalists in total that decided to "try out" a summer agriculturally in Huron County. They were exposed to every aspect of farm life in order to broaden their knowledge • of the agricultural industry. They will be return- ing home to the city on August 21 as well. Both programs will be in operation again next year. In order to have a first round choice of a junior agriculturalist, host farm • families should apply early. Likewise, agricrew bookings go fast, so next year, book early and avoid disappointment. Agricrew and junior agriculturalist ap- plicants should apply in mid-April. Telecare TELECARE Godeinrich 24 Hr.
