She had thought it might be the same thing day after day, She was interested in getting experience working with farm animals, because in the future she is thinking of becoming a, vet. Her on-the-job training has helped give her experience working with large animals. Up Until now, the only experience she had was working with horses. Getting up early didn't bother her either since she was used to getting up to go to school at approximately the same time - • She's a lunior dgrJ'OWN:rotiitO 6:45 a.m. Last year as a slimmer job she worked at the Long Point Bird Observatory where she helped with such activities as banding the birds. NOT GOOD:g ALL Although she' has experienced no major difficulties, Beth said the farm activities took a little while to get used to. "I'm still not too good at driving the tractor at all," she said, adding that driving forward is alright but she still has a little trouble going in reverse, , Beth is obviously enjoying her stay at the Shobbrooks. "It's nice to be outside working. I like it out here in the country, away from the city." ••• TWO FARMS The—Shobbrooks have two farms com- prising 221 acres, 100 acres on the home place and 121 on the farm across the road. They have 145 head of beef cattle and grow corn for ensilage, -mixed grain for feeding, hay and pasture. This is the first time they have had a Junior Agriculturalist there and Mr. Shob: brook said he would do it again. "The only reason I'd hesitate, is because I think Beth is going to be a pretty hard act to follow," he smiles. The Shobbrooks' children, Julie and Dean, help out at the farm if they're at home, but they both have other jobs. Mr. Shobbrook also had an Agricrew in this summer helPing with the haying, He decided to take advantaRe of the ° services offered by these two organizations after his sOfe was involved in an accident which made hinsrealize,tbey were gerfing _older and snore vulnerable. • "Wi-fuiVilo do it-fftife'fisiiRiiiiTse a lItflemore flexible," he said.

Why not jello? • BY IttrifEREK I know itprobably sounds ridiculou ladies' mud wrestling is really catching in a few of the larger southern Ontario -cities. Instead of exotic dancers or rock bands, some hotel owners have taken to the unabashqd sport of ladies wrestling in a pool of Aud. A few weeks ago, mud wrestling was at its peak in the Kitchener -Waterloo area. Out of curiosity and a reason to travel home for an evening, I decided to investigate this new entertainment phenomenon. Developed from comedian Andy Kauf- man's Los Vegas nightclub act where he challenged women in the audience to wrestle with him, mud was added to the act during his final match. Undefeated. Kauf- man finally lost to a California stuntwomas, The ides of women, wrestling and mud. appeared as a funny, popular combination, so many promoters in the southern stateaoo Barhopping but took adavantage of the idea. As we all well know, what is popular in the States eventually becomes popular in Canada and before you knew it, mud wrestling was headlining the marquees of Toronto bars. In Kitchener, mud wrestlers can be found at two different locations • the Coronet Motor Hotel on Victoria Street and the Bresleau Hotel in Bresleau (outside of Kitchener on Highway 7). At the Coronet, the hotel I chose for my evening out, the wrestling began at 9 p.m. downstairs in a part of the hotel known as the Pit. If you're lucky enough to get to the hotel early, you will be able to watch them set up the mud pool and better understand how the sport works. or cheese First a large rectangle is formed with four large planks of wood, thus creating the wrestling boundaries. The centre is then lined with a heavy sheet of plastic which is stretched and clipped onto *he wooden frame, forrnifig what rooks ra-e- a Shallow swimming pool. When everything has been completed, buckets of mud are carried out and poured into the structure. The net step may sound a bit indecent, but it's he part everyone has been waiting for. Two women, (usually. so I'm told, extremely well built and this evening was no exception) walk out and after some preliminary announcements and intro- ductions, begin slipping, sli ding and grabbing for each other trying to score points. The crowd shouts and screams encour- agement for their favorite vrrestler, and finally a winner is named.

After watching the whole show, I had trouble trying to understand the se•cial and entertainment value of it all. Why mud? Why not jello or creamed cheese? Any- thing would probably be more exciting than wet dirt. Nevertheless, mud' wrestling attracted a large crowd that Wednesday evening. They applauded the winner and drank lots of beer, mucji. to the delight of the hotel owner I'm sure. I often wonder if faddish types of entertainment like disco, new wave and now mud wrestling will ever take the place of a live rock band. Is it possible that like disco's influence on the young girl in spiked heels, a silk spaghetti -strap dress and plenty of shiny makeup, mud wrestling will leave its trail of bikini clad, mud - stained, grimy women walking the stotets? • 1 hope not. At the Coronet, mud wrestling is held every Wednesday evening, and no cover is . charged.
