Going through the Major League to track down a couple of London Tigers' players proved to be a headache, and dealing with agents was both time and money consuming, so Mr. Nesbitt has learned that the best way to go about lin- ing up guest speakers is to go straight to the source.

If you are a farmer in Huron, Perth or Bruce County and wish to have a part in the education of an urban youth this summer - then what you have been waiting for is the JUNIOR AGRICULTURALIST PROGRAM. This program, now in its 19th year, is designed to offer urban students between the ages of 15-24, with little or no farm knowledge, an opportunity to gain the farm and country living experience. It is also designed to give you, the host farm fami- ly, some summer assistance for a period of eight weeks with every other weekend off, starting June 25 and ending August 17, 1990. All of this can be yours for the modest price of $17/day. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will provide the other $18/day of the $35/day training allowance. The host farm family is also re- quired to provide room, board and laundry facilities for the Junior Agriculturalist. For more information about this pro- gram, contact the Youth Employment Supervisor, Cindy Stute, at the O.M.A.F. office in Clinton, Ontario at (519) 482-3428 or 1-800-285-5170 before May 19, 1990.
