Auc- tioneer Hugh Filson kept the crowd interested and entertained with the wide range of assorted articles auctioned at the auction sale sponsored by the men of the Ailsa Craig United Church, Saturday evening. Young and -old alike found something of interest and bidding was lively, as the group gathered on the lawn of the Church in the perfect summer evening. Items ranged from piggy banks through old fashioned scrubbing boards, used wooden chairs occupied over the years by many Sunday School pupils, to a small portable organ, and other large items of excellent furniture. The ladies of the congregation set up a refreshment booth which provided a brief interlude for many when items were being auctioned that one did not have a particular interest in. The funds raised by the group will be used to furnish a double room in the new Craigholme Nursing Home in Ailsa Craig. "Meet The President Night" held in Ailsa Craig A "Meet the President Night" was held at the Town Hall in Ailsa Craig on Thursday, June 19 when the community was invited to chat informally with Fanshawe College president, Dr. J.A. Colvin. In an interview Dr. Colvin compared the community college with a consumer's Co-Op, "Both are designed by the consumers to meet the needs of indivivals" he stated. "Its function is to use - not to prescribe - what people are interested in". He urged that members of the community make their interest and needs in education known to the members of the Advisory Committees in the area in order that programmes can be set up in accordance with the wishes of the community. He emphasized that the community colleges are "not just a means to gaining a diploma but are established to provide individuals with opportunity to develop their personal skills and interests". "I like to think of 'the college Bill Routley on Sunday afternoon. A number attended the wed- ding reception of Mr. & Mrs. Donnie Kerslake on Saturday evening at the Exeter Legion Hall.

She was one of the eight girls representing the County of Middlesex, A Provincial Honours 4-H member, Marilyn was chosen on an all-round outstanding record of acheivements which included a high academic standing and sports record as well as per- formance in the 4-H Club. The conference began on Tuesday evening and continued through until Friday afternoon. It was attended by a total of 195 girls representing every county and region in the province. The girls were able to choose one of five various interest groups for part of the conference. Choral singing was Marilyn's choice of activity. Dr. Ethel Chapman of Toronto spoke to the girls on the theme of "Immediate '75" on Wednesday morning. "Fitness for Living" was the subject of another lecture following which the girls were put through an exercise programme to test their personal fitness. "One of the most interesting parts of the programme was a panel discussion on the subject of careers", Marilyn reported. Four women currently in four popular careers spoke on the various aspects of their occupations and the responsibilities related to it. Another event Marilyn found particularly stimulating was a debate en "Protein of the Future". Two university professors gave opposing\views on whether or not the future will bring about the need to dispose of our meat source animals who currently consume a high per- centage of grain which could be used for human consumption, or whether we can solve the food crisis through new agriculture methods and continue to use animal protein which has a higher and richer source than which the grains in themselves provide. Three university dietitions demonstrated various food preparations from around the world in a session entitled '"Round the World Dining". The girls were able to taste the foods following the demonstrations to experience what others around the world are eating. At the conclusion of the con- ference the girls were allowed to choose from six different areas of the university which to tour. MacDonald Institute was the area Marilyn elected to visit, which she found very interesting. A grade 13 student at Parkhill High School, Marilyn is a member of the Riverview II 4-H club.
