We had electricity and in- door plumbing. We even had radio and TV. Television shows were in black and white, of course; but we had programs that, were created just for us kids. Yes Virginia, there was life before the Cookie Monster! When it was Howdy Dowdy time, for example,we were glued to the television screen to watch Howdy, his sister, Heidi, and the clown, Clarabelle. There was also a Friendly Giant, who had a tiny puppet pal and a giraffe (named Jethro, I believe), who stuck his head through a window sang our pledge of allegiance to our hero "M -I -C -K -E -Y M -O -U -S -E By Elaine Townshend now and again. Will any of us forget the cute kids with the big ears ,.who sang and danced their way into our living rooms ever' week? With them, we We followed the progress of a few of the child stars through the years. Annette graduated to beach movies and more recently peanut butter commercials. Shelley became part of the family on the Donna Reed Show. (Or was it Father Knows Best?) Now she plays a less innocent character on One Day At A Time. The Little Rascals manag- ed to get away with things that we could only dream about. Spanky, Alfalfa and the little white dog with one black eye are still causing chuckles by way of reruns. Animals often upstaged the human actors. Who can forget Lassie and My Friend Flicka? Rin Tin Tin always ,came to the rescue, and Sergeant Preston could not have kept law and order without his husky King.

Photo by Frank Phillips Future of programs subject of survey Ontario's rural women will play a part in determining future educational programs offered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and . Food (OMAF). Beginning in February, province -wide meetings are being heldto evaluate the ef- fectiveness of the ministry's current women's ptograms and to suggest future directions. I Rural women play an im- portant role in the family farm. Many are involves in decision-making so we must determine what information the ministry may provide to help farm women make in- formed decisions," says study advisor Molly McGhee, direc- tor of the ministry's former home economics branch. About 6.OII') men and women Irom provincial organizations interested in agriculture and rural life have been invited to these meetings. But McGhee says she hopes anyone from the farming community who is in- terested in participating in the survey, will attend. McGhee says she hopes to learn rural women's views on the ministry's current educa- tion and information pro- grams to determine areas where new programs may he needed. She has also prepared questions to deter- mine the effect of changing demographics and technology on rural women and plans to compare Ontario's programs with those in other jurisdictions. But McGhee says determin- ing the major problems fac- ing rural women and assign- ing priorities will be difficult because of the diverse ages, educational backgrounds and interests among rural women. "There's a general feeling that 'many. of , the younger farm women seem to want farm business management courses, farm production courses and quick, factual in- formation they can apply now. But others seem to want consumer and nutrition infor- mation and home manage- ment programs. Yet, there are,others who seem more in- terested in crafts courses and leisure programs.`' McGhee says • her report will outline to senior policy staff, the areas where rural women's educational in' terests and opinions vary widely.- "I idely-"I will not formulate policy but the results of this survey will shape the ministry's future educational programs offered to rural women." 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111I1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111N1111111111111111 Exeter Decor Centre 15 Gidley Street 235-1010 Up to 50% Off Ail wallcovering `'a SUNWCRTHY YE&YOU-CAN WAt.(COVERINGS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII111111111111111111M111111111111i111111111111111111111111111flH1ii1fli1111111Hllllll11110lllllllf r .3-, Suture' Spices of .Yefe,' 0235'1211 6 CodLL-Crole i 4 -nes- SPIiat . 16 Order your Ua/eafinle cans' trays 1 bores edr/y. c idk- you/f c)Qbt/urjti6 f?enae n bei Now 7Ctk/ G o/ll%rS for/ fa�%n \SMelo ,.ton's S)//wat 11heQ,,j- /// STOC/L/ Nome by d teneA. age o 5'm.... /wail/ ora Child fit/;i/ *eooit. many 0744 /170/Y. unmamillimmumme FAIR BOARD QUILTERS - Members of the Exeter fair board ladies division were busy this week creating a quilt on which tickets will be sold at the 1983 fair.
