YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES PRO-
GRAM
On February 19, Ernie Hobbes'
and Ken McMullen, project dile-
ers for the Opportunities for
Youth.program from the Secret-
ary of State department of the
federal government conducted
an' assembly at RDHS.
They 'outlined a program of
benefit to community develop-
rnent in which students or sec-
ondary school graduates could be
provided .with summer jobs.
Applications must be made by
March 1 to be accepted into a
program and receive financial,
alb from the federal government.
Considerations of applications
focus on the' creativity of the sug-'
gested program, the necessity of
such a program in the area' and its
feasibility.
At least three people should
pro'Pose to undertake such a pro-
gram in the community. Remun-
eration applies to the group as ,a
whole and not to individuals to
ensure that all members are,
equally reponsible in carrying out
the project.
Such projects as drama produc-
tions for senior citizens, play-
ground activities and, day care
centres for young people, area
history and clean up' operations
have been executed in'the past..
signed the letter in •
acknowledgement of their support
The 25th officers' confererre
is to be in. Waterloo May 1-3.
Mrs. Wm. SteWart will entertain
for the, March meeting at' the
home of her daughter , Mrs. Jack
Caesar. 4.
The motto "Forget the mis-
takes of the past and press to
greater achievements in the
future" was taken by mrs. Mc-
Clenaghan. She stated that
many of the benefits we enjoy
today, music,in rnedicine, art ,
etc. would not have been achiev -
ed if others had not forgotten
their mistakes and pressed ,on to.
greater achievement. We are
never too old to change our ways
or learn something new.
Mrs. Weis, convener of cultur-
al activities gave the topic.
She said that an accepted defini-
tion is "Culture is that complex
whole, which includes, knoW-
ledge , belief, art, morals, laws,
customs and any other capabilit-
ies and habits acquired by man,
as a member of society". The
mark of a cultured man. is shown
by his respect and dignity of all.
The family is the most import-.
ant unit' in shaping culture.
Many Ethnic groups have brought
their culture to Canada to the
benefit of all. _She said - cul-
tural 'activities and social activ-
ities are closely related.' In
the past the church was the cent-
er Of religious, social and cultur-
al activities. Canada has now
reached the stage in cultural'
development where artists and
groups tout other countries and
make a contribution to the world
,culture. Our own W.}. inspires.,
more culture in our community,
country and overseas. Mrs. Ivers
concluded her interesting address
by saying, we are richer than we
think we are - Who says we'
haven't Culture?
tlake read the correspond-
An interesting letter from
oblitt was read. Also a '
re the preserving of the
ch jail wall. Membels
the two desperately-fought over-
time periods that ensued, The •
Winner of the match however was
determined when Margie Collins
dropped in a basket for Ripley.
Thus the Juniors advanced to the
finals in which they had to face
Chesley.
Chesley was facing an exhaust- .
ed Ripley team due to the, prev-
ious game and it showed in the
first two quarters. • But, regain
ing some strength, in the' last
half of the game, the girls kept
the Chesley score down, although
they lost the match.
,Sincere congratulations go to
the girls, who, by their
efforts, were the B1A' runners-up
in the Junior girls division.
A LOOK AT R.D.H.S.
On February 21, the Grade
eight students of the Ripley Huron
Central. School with their teacher
Mrs. Isabel' Martyn visited RDHS'
for a look at the surroundingi.
As this is their final year• in pub-
lic school, we hope that RDHS
will be the next stepping
stone in their education. Shirley
Mcaeath, Joan Ferguson, and
Margie MacKay showed the tour- •
ing students what it is like on a
typical day at RDHS. The prev-
ious day, Sandy Pollock, Kenny.
Stewart; Priscilla Zipfel, and
Dianne MacKay went down to the •
Public Sdhool and informed the •
grade eight student's about the
various subjects , sports and activ-

there was a question and answer
period.
in the tournament held in Walk-
erton on February 17.
Against the Kincardine Juniors •
who had narrowly defeated them'
in the Kincardine gym on Feb-
suary 1, the team, consisting of
Joan Courtney, Margie Collins,
Patti MacDonald, Julie Reeves,
Kim Farrell, Priscilla Zipfel ,
and Kerry Boyle played as they
had never played before.
True to form, Patti MacDon-
ald opened the scoring in the
first quarter, but Kincardine was
moving a little faster and headed
them going into the next period
of play. Sufficiently enflamed
by then, the Ripley Juniors seem-
ed to harness every available
scrap of energy 'and ability.. Joan
Courtney was most brilliant, with
a fantastic barage of five baskets
in an eight minute playing per-
iod. Patti MacDonald fired in
three while Margie Collins, with
a basket and both of the free
shots allotted to her, helped to
swell the score to 20-16 for
Ripley at'the end of the third
quarter.
Kincardine outplayed Ripley in
she final quarter and as the buz-
zer-sounded to 'end' the game ,
the teams were •deadlocked.
Joan Courtney, netted another
two baskets, while Margie
Collins got the same number,
and Julie Reeves fired in two free
shots in the last quarter, and B.I.A. BASKETBALL. •
By way of victories over Saug-
een and Wiarton in the regular,
