The Clinton Spring Fair Board is announcing a new Junior crafts section to be open to anyone under the age of 18. This year the Ladies craft section will have a theme for their exhibits.

There are many items along this line which could be shown such as dolls dressed in bridal array; parcels wrapped for shower gifts; inexpensive shower gift suggestions; favours suitable for a wedding table and many more, The prize list for the Women's and Junior sections are available now from the Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Stan Collins, at 482-7227. * Harry Cummings who is doing post-graduate work in Geography and Agriculture at Clarke University, Worcester, Massachusetts, spent the past two weeks with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cummings, 129 Mary Street.

Rambling with. Lucy BY LUCY R. WOODS Lucy was intrigued by an article in the Financial Post, December 19, by Alexander Ross, headed; "Executive group-grope: new trend- or new threat? T-groups can make you work better — or quit your jell" The writer cited a group of medium — level civil servants in the Department of Finance from the Economic Development Division of the Federal-Province Relations and Economic Program Branch, -- a group of young guys, average age 29 whose job is to help Edgar Benson assess the impact of various federal programs on economic growth. The job involves a lot of meetings, a lot of group-think, a lot of ereative interchange. Don Thom, 36, boss of the group decided a little managerial therapy would make the group function more effectively. And so they went to the Public Service Commission's training school at Kemptville. All day Saturday and all day Sunday they played games. One game was an exercise in non-verbal communication, The puzzle was to git together a bunch of black and white tiles in a tricky mathematical progression. There were ten people each holding pieces of tile in their hands milling around in the middle of the floor gesticulating, pointing and waggling their eye brows at each other. There was close to 20 university degrees represented in the group including an economist, a geographer, a hydrologist, a couple of M.B.A.'s, and Don Thom whose background is electrical engineering. Helga, the self-effacing, shy little secretary who always said, "yes, sir" and "no, sir", took dictation and made no comment even when he was about to do something stupid, spotted the progression first. She wandered around offering her tile to one man and then another, pointing and shrugging and gesturing, trying to make them understand the pattern. They didn't catch on and ignored her. When the group finally solved the problem they realized if they'd only listened to Helga she could have helped them solve it faster. This had a tremendous impact on the group. The officers discovered the girls could make a contribution. And the girls realized that if they held an opinion they should express it, "The whole exercise, you see, was an analogue of the decision-making process. Using the puzzle showed everybody how they react to each other in a real-life problem-solving situation." Another game was to form a circle with their arms around each other's shoulders, facing in. One person was left outside and had to break into the circle. Some pleaded, some rammed their way in or ducked underneath. There were a few bruises but they learned their own aggressive potential, and about the little games we each play in endeavouring to get our own way. There were verbal games, too, where they sat in a circle and each member used an object to describe each other person in the group, J. reminded P. of a teddy bear. P. reminded L. of a Newfoundland dory. X described Y. as an elephant and Y. described X as a panther. It gave each member a better understanding of what they felt about each other and what others thought of them: The results are hard to assess but on Monday morning Helga smiled at people on the street and the group who had spent hundreds of hours together, but who didn't really know each other, greeted each other like buddies. They had achieved a new plateau of togetherness. As a result of the weekend Don Thom said, "I learned that being a director is a barrier. I just wasn't one of the fellows. "I also learned that I tend to get curt with the people Tom working with when the pressure is on. I don't have time to be pleasant. The weekend taught me how this was affecting the people who report to me. It also made them realize why I'm that way. "We worked well together before, but we work better now. One definite change: when I call a staff meeting now, there's just no way I could exclude the girls. They are part of the team," Hurrah for the girls, says Lucy, but she wonders if group games are played at school now as they were in her day. Or did these highly educated executive groups never learn to play. Carl and Gregor McGregor remember a game called Bull in the Ring played at Baird's School. Someone was chosen to be the bull. The other pupils joined hands to keep him there. He dashed about and when he'd made good his escape, the firSt one to catch him was the next victim. Other games were Fox and Goose in the snow. Prisoner's base, Wracks, Stick rest was a guessing game when the weather was too bad to play outside. And a swinging game was "Ilete we go gathering nuts in May." Even over a hundred years ago, there was a group playing at school at White Cress, England for the sons of Royal Naval Officers. Lucy's father, his older and younger brothers all attended it. They formed a circle with the school donkey in the middle. The boy who was "it" had to catch and halter the donkey which was no mean feat. Woods I (Willie) was "lt". And as the donkey ran close to the circle, a boy in the circle pushed Wittig against the donkey's hind quarters. He turned to the boy and ejaculated, "Oh, clang you!" When the donkey kicked. When as always there were tatters. It was reported to the Head Master Rev. Henry Gray, that Woods I said "damn" and so he was caned. He learned to take punishment for what be didn't do. But Woods II and m never forgot it, for they Said, "Willie waS a good boy and be only said t dang"." Lucy remembers "Pump, pump pull-a,way." London Bridge it Falling Down, Animal, vegetable of ntirterat Were amongst guessing garnet, m1E1111)11 my sheep, run. Alexander Itoss 'writes: "Tgroup, Sensitivity-training and all the other psychic gains that the middle etas has lately taken to playing are directed at development of the individual. The organization-oriented courses aren't eirtricerried with humeri potential per se, but With getting people to overcome the communication barriers that make it hard for them to work together." We hear so Much about the generation gap hi families now-a-days between parents and children. Perhaps if a schedule of old parlor games were instituted for the family it would break down the barrier. Other groups such as Allan Aluminum Ltd., Ontario Hydro and the Canadian Broadcasting Company have sent their executives riff for courses which range from a real touch-me-feel-me .sensitivity session to the kind of watered down seininar that'encourages the group to think about the corpOratienslong term goalS, but doesn't delve much deeper than that. A new data of edatators — Industrial Psychologists have sprung up. One of them is David Jackson and Associates offering T-groups a course he tails HUMAN — a five phase program that costs $600.00, takes six months to complete and can be done on the job. It is designed to turn managers into sensitive Managers. "We live and learn! But it looks to Lucy as if the basis of it is just the old adage: 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Also that the whole trouble, if any exists, could be. resolved by the Executive having a little social affair for the inembeis of his group arid encourage theni to relax, get to know each other in their work.
