He added, "I wonder sometimes .if we realize, what the local fair does to a person. I at- tended my first fair when I was 12 years old. Since then I,have come a long way. Last year I judged heavy horses at the top big fairs in the country, including the Royal Winter. The small fairs do a lot for the young chaps, and gives them a chance they don't get at a big fair. Considerable -discussion was giv- en to the matter of obtaining a good attraction to draw a crowd. Suggestions were a square dance competition or a fiddling contest. McMurray stated that in the opinion of the exhibitors, Clinton Fair could not be beat. Ile had heard some of them say, "Clinton. has the best prize Iist and accom- modation of any, and when' we get to Clinton we know that we're. going toet a fair deal." Reeve John W. Deeves, Gode- rich Township, advised arousing local interest, probably best ach- ieved through work with 4-11 Clubs in some way. Seventeen of the directors paid their membership fee of $1.00, and following the general meeting when directors were appointed, an organizational meeting was held. Vice-president W. J. Miller stat- ed the main problems seemed to be getting money in, andsuggest- ed that more thought be given the night show, with view to rais- ing more funds. He also advised some thought be given to 4 4-11 Club show in 1956. Delegates to the Fairs Convent,, tion on February 9 and 10, in Toronto, will be the president Mel Crich and the secretary -treasurer.

A very interesting topic entitled 'Bringing up the Farm Family", was very thoroughly discussed. The alloted time for discussion was exceeded by a half hour or more. Many Very good ideas were expres- sed.by some'members, and some of the older members were able to give the younger parents the bene- fit of their experience. In earlier times children did not Forum 88 I FORUM The SS -No. 4 'Goderieh Town- ship,Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irvine Tebbutt, with 14 in attendance. The topic for discussion was "Bringing Up the Farm Family". It was"'decided that'the ways of bringing up a farm 'family are much different from those of 25 years ago. Education is .different with a general trend to more years of standarcTschool, a greater trend in specialized 'education, n definite change in transportation, and a change in school equipment. There is a reduction in the n,um- goso far from home for entertain- ber of rural churches, and a re - merit, and: families were closer,duction in percentage attendance knit. When attending dances or at church. some other social event, it .was an occasion for the entire family. Now, buses are •available to transport children to school, •en- abling'them to receive higher edu- cation, Town rinks replace back field ponds for skating and hockey. while{ "the ole swimmin' hole"• is now a heated swimming pool in some building instead -of the. farm pond or -the river. There are problems in raising a family anywhere, although this forum feels it is easier to -. raise children in the country. One prob- lem is the loaning of the family car to junior members of the fam- ily. Children wanting things such as town children have, TV, bicy- , give them a greater interest in cies, roller skates, electricity, and the farm, , and forget about. the such is sometimes a problem. 1larger financial returns from city Parents could pay children for jobs, Regular church attendance some of the work they do, and help by . parents and family tends to advise them how to utilize it. Give hold the family together, them 'softie responsibility, let them Community activities to stim- see how and where the money ulate interest among the young goes. More'recreation within the people and in which they : could The most important problems to be faced in bringing up•farm flies today„ are; finance, education and recreation. The .. family 'is broken up more through recrea- tion than anything else. Young; people seek their entertainment outside the home, _different from 25 years ago Cars; movies, etc., make the difference. The attitude. of parents toward the profession of farming has a great 'influence on the young peo- ple's attitude, Asking advice of the young people qn farm matters and acting on it if it seems feas- ible (letting ydur problems be their problems), would serve to home would help, such as• a family get-together, orworking on some project of interest to father, mo- ther, and children. More recreation in their own community would help rural child- ren to stay closer to home. Get them interested in Sunday School and church work. 4-11 clubs, farm forums, g•ives •entertainment to young people and helps train them for leadership and responsibilities. Following the discussion, euchre was played, and lunch was served by Mrs. George Carter, Mrs. Ro- bert Dalton, Mrs. H. Tebbuft and the hostess. Winners at euchre were: ladies' most games and lone hands, Mrs. Harvey Taylor, con- solation, Mrs. George Carter; men, most games and lone hands, Doug- las Riley, consolation, Oliver And- erson. Next Monday the Farm Forum will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Taylor, Londesboro. O Boy Scout News FIRST CLINTON LIONS SCOTT TROOP (By P. L. "Butch." McLaren) Every Wednesday night a lot of activity goes on at the Fish and Game Club House as that is the night that the Clinton Boy Scouts hold their weekly meeting. The troop has an enrolment of 28, alt of whom have passed their tender- foot which is the, first group of tests that a boy has to master. The troop is rub not by the scoutmasters, but by the boys themselves, as the troop is divided into four patrols of approximately six boys each. At the head of this patrol is a patrol leader and he handles his patrol, then next in command is the acting patrol leader. Twice a month the patrol leaders, seconders, the troop leader and the scoutmasters meet at the home of one of the members.. It is at these meetings that the meetings are planned and organiz- ed. Certain changes are made and ideas for the benefit of the troop are brought up 'and discus- sed. The scoutmasters are there in an advisory capacity. The meetings held at the Fish and Game Club House open at 7.00 p.m., and close at 9,00 p.m. During this two-hour period the Scouts learn to pass certain tests that life. Games are useful in everyday are played and everything is run according to schedule. Fifteen minutes at the end of the meeting are given to songs and skits which are prepared by each patrol in turn. The Court of Honour which runs the troop under the super- vision of the scoutmaster has de- cided on a series of improvements to Camp Chipewana which lies upriver from Forester's bridge on the Maitland River, north of Holmesville• These improvements will consist of the IeveIling of the camping site and the building of a cook house which is to replace the present one. This frame structure is to be 25 feet by 18 feet;. it Is to contain eating quarters,: a stove, and other culinary equipment and RS main purpose is for winter cam. Anypingboys between the ages of 12 and 18 are welcome to come to 'the meetings, and if interested, be- come one of the millions of Boy Scouts in the world. participate would help to keep them in their hone community for their social life,,or a great.part of it,: at least. • A few games of euchre and "500" were played, and lunch was served., The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mervyn Lobb. PARR LINE FORUM (By our Hensall correspondent) The regular,meeting of the Parr Line Farm Forum was held at. the home of Mr. and lv(rs. John Baker with 24 nienrhers present, The topic tor discussion Was "Bringing up the T'aim Family." (1) Parents find that i1;, takes more money to clothe and feed the farm family off to -day than 25 years ago 25 ' years ago young people' found much of their social life in,,,. the home or the nearby town.' Today the family car has changed this considerably—Johnny may attend a local dance or hoc- key game 40 miles away. High School students had to find their , own transportation to school. To- day buses pick them up at their doors. Several services such ..as family allowances, innoeulations for various diseases; hydro, mech- anized farm, were non-existent. . Parents find it difficult to keep young people on the farm. The 40 - hour week of the city worker does. attract them. Many problems could• be solved at the home by teaching the family to share responsibilities ' with regard to worn and recrea- tion. A further step would be a • father • and son agreement which. will arouse interest in the years ahead. 12) The local church forms a strong -character , and helps with the various Organizations. 4-11 clubs are proving their value wherever -they are organized. Farm Forums help to educate- farm youth in the problems of the times. Following the discussion, pro- gressive euchre was played. Win- ners were Mrs. Gordon Coleman, and F. Mousseau. The evening concluded with lunch served by '' the ladies. Next meeting will be • held at the home of Mr. and. Mrs, Howard Adkins. • O Subscribe And Year!
