CTA Petition in Registry ' ffice
For Scrutiny by Anyone Interested
The petition circulated during
recent weeks calling for a vote
for repeal of the Canada Temper-
ance Act is now on file at the
County Registry Office in Gode-
rich for ten days since August 13.

tion be available for public inspec-

lied with.

In a report of the Rose -Fisher

missed the name of Miss Stella
Rose, as maid of honour. We
are very sorry for the error.
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.

1 pportunities Available For Girls
In The Field of Home Economies
Upper School or Grade XIII
results having been announced this
week, many who were success-
ful are now pondering the pros
and cons of various courses to
prepare them for the future. 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. Insti-
tute, O,A,C., Guelph, Ontario, for
a calendar.
