HOPPER —Representative— Canada Life WINGHAM, ONT medi- led in a skit ■ ■ i B WE DELIVER REMINGTON’S Helen Haines 0-0-0 Mr. Baker’s Talk On Tuesday, March 1st., Mr. Baker assistant agricultural representative of Huron County, delivered an inter­ esting talk to the student body, con­ cerning the 4H club of Huron County. Mr. Baker stated that a 4H club is a rural society for young people which corresponds to Girl Guides and Boy Scouts in urban centres. 4H Clubs are sponsored by the department for people between twelve and twenty years of age. Canada was the eigh­ teenth country in the world to adopt this organization. The 4H badge is made up of four leaves, each bearing an "H”. These four “H's” stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. The purpose of a 4H Club is to build citi­ zenship, character and personality. Members are Obliged to carry out homemaking and farming projects. When six clubs are completed, a mem­ ber will receive county honours and twelve clubs being completed, a mem­ ber receives provincial honour. Lastly, 4H Clubs are very educational and provide an excellent opportunity in the fact that every year five candi­ dates are chosen to make tours to' Ottawa, New York, and Washington with expenses paid. These candidates must have at least three projects completed. Mr. Sally, Slosser 0-0-0 Class in Grain Judging. Harold Baker conducted a coaching class in' judging grain to help the boys when they go to Clin­ ton on the 5th of March to a grain­ judging contest. There seems to be a great deal of interest in grain-judg­ ing as about 60 turned out for the pointers that will help them to obtain a good standing in the competition. The boys received pointers in judging oats, barley, wheat, clover, and alfal­ fa which are all the grains that they will have to judge at Clinton. Mr. Baker then addressed school in what work the has the entire the new gymnasium telling opportunities of 4-H, club to offer.

NEXT WEEK This year, your Red Cross needs $5,494,100. GIVE GENEROUSLY YOUR HELP IS NEEDED by the RED CROSS! V*-* •’ . . ;!g., t. ’ <*' . . :... ■■■ • . This is the minimum amount required in 1955 to carry on the great humanitarian work that you do through your Red Cross Society. You may have noticed that each year this amount shows a slight increase. This is because each year the amount of aid supplied by Red Cross in every one of its vital services increases, too. As the population of Canada grows greater, the need is greater; as Red Cross improves and adds to its services to Canadians, so does it need the continued and growing, support of Canadians every- . where. Wingham Legion Members Will Canvass Members of Wingham Canadian Legion will call at your home during the week of March 21st, to ask for your contribution to the annual Red Cross campaign for funds. There are many agencies at work in the world today which assist in the alleviation of human suffering. BUT the Red Cross is the only one which has the complete international organization to handle emer­ gencies no matter where they arise, without delay or waste.
