Lions Juveniles and Shallow Lake Here Thursday By winning the WOAA Juvenile C championship on Monday night the Zurich Lions Juveniles advanced in- to the finals for the OBA title, and will meet Shallow Lake in the first round. First game in the best of three series will be played in Zurich on Thursday, August 20, at 6 p.m. sharp. The sec- ond game will be played in Shallow Lake on Saturday afternoon. To help raise money to finance their playoff expens- es the Juveniles are selling a special "Family Night" ticket for the game on Thurs- day night. One dollar will ad- mit an entire family to the game. Give the boys your support by attending this playoff game. The Huron Citizens' Legal Con- trol Committee reports that ap- proximately 10,500 eligible voters signed the petition. This is about 3,000 more than the 25 percent of county electors required to br- ing on a vote. Every municipality in Huron is represented. At the expiration of the ten - ,clay period, the petition will be submitted to the Secretary of State of Canada. After scrutiny by the State Department, it is expected that the Chief Electoral Officer will be authorized to name a date for the vote to be taken. This procedure is similar to that of a federal by-election as are the regulations under which the vote is held. When the official voting date is set, a notice to this effect will be published in the Canada Gaz- ette and the Ontario Gazette. Stanley.

One of the most practical and profit- able fields for women is Home Economics, in which the four- year degree course qualifies grad- uates for various positions as well as laying the groundwork for successful home management. Macdonald Institute at Guelph offers training in the field of Home Economics, granting a Ba- chelor of Household Science de- gree from the University of Tor- onto. Entrance requirements are the same as for any other un- iversity • • sixty percent standing in nine Grade XIII papers. On the same campus as the Ontario Agricultural College, "Mac" In- stitute is strictly a professional school, offering a four-year cour- se. The first three years are basic information about home econom- ics, while the final year provides specialization in the form of three options: clothing and textiles; in- stitutional administration; man- agement and equipment. A Home Economist may be said to be an interpreter between industry and science and the homemaker. She helps the con- sumer understand the pry ducts of industry and helps industry pro- vide products for the homemaker. In other words, the Home Econo- mist's work in this area is liaison between research and application. Graduates work in numerous areas, many teaching at the high school level. Dietetics offers work for others and extension work with the Department of Agricul- ture is another field of employ- ment. Some graduates enter busi- ness and some research but all profit personally from their know- ledge of good homemaking prac- tices, aside from their careers. Grade XIII graduates who are interested in further information on the educational opport;unities in Horne Economics may write to the Registrar of Macdonald.
