bright boy there’s more than a job in farming; there’s a life. So magnify agriculture in the eyes of your youth, and help them to see that there‘s an opportunity for them at the Col- lege." Mr. J. A. Eccles, Director of the Department of Public Relations of the College outlined the services of his department for Women’s Institutes. “We look after the 40,000 visitors who come to the College,” Mr. Eccles said, “and the Women's Institutes are one of our favourite groups as we have them at the Offi- cers’ Conference, the Women’s Institute Holi- day, on bus trips, Farm and Home Week and at the Guelph area convention which meets in Memorial Hall." Padre Young is a member of the staff and does a good deal of speaking at Women’s Institute gatherings, Mr. Eccles continued. The Department prints a lot of the manuals for 4â€"H Homemaking Clubs, preâ€" pares exhibits for Institutes for such events as the Royal Winter Fair and the provincial Plowing Match, conducts a motion picture unit, assists with a radio tape service to disâ€" tribute to local radio stations and some of the tapes are of special Women’s Institute inter- est. Some day when television is as impor- tant as radio the Department of Public Re- lations hopes to assist with this. Mr. Eccles also mentioned the photography service for Institutes and the widely distributed pictures that give publicity to Institute work. (The editor of Home and Country would. like to say a thankâ€"you right here for the help the O.A.C. pictures are to this paper.) Mr. Peppin spoke on the Film Library and how to use films. He announced that a new catalogue, which may be had by writing the Film Service, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph gives a list of films available along the lines of agriculture, general interest including comics, health and welfare, home economics, safety, sociology, rural afiairs. As another source of films Mr. Peppin suggested Crawley Films Ltd, 21 Dundas Square, Toronto, or 19 Fairmount Ave., Ottawa. Mr, Peppin made these suggestions for the use of films: Select your film carefully and remember that the title may be misleading. Prepare yourself to speak on the film -â€" have your own preliminary screening and make notes. Prepare the room as well as possible. Get to the meeting early and have equipment set up and tested. Introduce the film and. when it has been shown be prepared to disâ€" cuss it. Unless you, yourself, can operate a prOJector get a good projectionist â€"- any two year graduate of the O.A.C. can do this work. Prof. E. C. McLean, head of the Department of English at the College introduced the film “Stratford Story” and gave an interesting commentary on what the Shakespearean plays at Stratford mean to Ontario both as a tourist attraction and a cultural interest for the people, and why the development of the small theatre anywhere is a movement to be en- couraged. 'IO ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS Welcoming the delegates to the College 1h President, Dr. J. D. MacLachlan refer-mil I: the Institutes’ Diamond Jubilee and “filmed the Institutes to diamonds.
