Mr. Hern expressed ap- preciation to last year's president, Jean Dinsmore, for the excellent job she and her executive did. Mrs. Dinsmore was the first female 4-H Club Leaders' Association president in the province of Ontario. Albert Van Dyken of Exeter was elected first vice-president, Glen McNeil of Goderich is second vice-president and for the 25th consecutive year Maurice Hallahan of Belgrave was elected secretary -treasurer. The number of 4-H members enrolled in clubs in the County last year was 371, down from 1975 when 379 members joined. However, the number of girls enrolled in the clubs was up from 1975. The 4-1.1 project completion rate in the county is one of the highest,standingat 93 percent. In order to complete a project, a club member must attend 75 percent of the meetings, par- ticipate in Achievement Day and hand in a completed record book. Huron County has also a pre -4- 1-1 program which was started in 1971 and is designed to involve the 11 year olds in the 4-11 programs. In 1975, 35 people enrolled in the pre -4-H courses and only eight dropped out, In 1976, 43 11 year- olds in the county took part in the pre -4-H course. In order to become a full-fledged 4-1-1 member, a person must be 12 years of age. The past year was a busy one for the 4-11 club programs in the county. Twenty-seven delegates attended aregional conference in Centralia and two members attended a leadership week in Guelph. The exchanges with 4-H members in other parts of North America are becoming in- creasingly popular. This year exchanges were in great demand with four members exchanged with a Nova Scotia 4-H club and 29 exchanged with a club in Pennsylvania. This was the first year the number of applications to go on exchange trips exceeded the number of places on the exchanges available. Even more exchanges are being planned for 1977 as their popularity increases. Also, the United Co-operatives of Ontario wish to sponsor four 4-H club members to a Co -Op Youth Convention being held this year. In view of the fact this is the Associations 25th anniversary, a committee has been formed to look into the possible methods of celebrating this anniversary year. The general feeling of the meeting was an afternoon or evening should be arranged to enable 4-H members from the past 25 years to get together and talk over old times, It was also suggested that a booklet of all the past club leaders in the 4-11 be put together with comments from each one regarding the 441 clubs, This anniversary committee includes Simon Hallahan, Ron McMichael, Jean Dinsmore, John Clark, Bob McNiel, Gordon Papple and Maurice Hallahan plus several members to be appointed from the Youth Council. The members of the Association decided to affiliate once again with the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and Jean Dinsmore was elected as their representative to the Federation. Agriculture representative Don Pullen brought greetings to the Association from the Department of Agriculture in the county and commended the members on the fine work they are doing. Mr. Pullen said the volunteer 4-H leaders are very much ap- preciated as "so few people do much for nothing these days", Mr. Pullen added he felt the leaders had done a great deal for 91014011110* 4-H DIRECTORS ELECTED — At their 25th annual meeting last Thursday the Huron County 4-H Leaders' Association elected new directors to form the executive of the organization.
