to take in the whole world; and we cannot ignore other significant culturesâ€"â€"we should try to be intelligent about ways of family living in other parts of the World. Miss McKercher quoted from John W. Gardner’s book, Excellence: “The plain fact is that never in our history have we stood in such need of men and women of intelligence, imagination and courage. This challenge is greater than any other generation has ever faced." “What the future holds is in our own hands,” said Miss.McKercher, “to the extent that we have faith in ourselves and our chosen pro- fession, that We are willing to work for our 1* I Courtroom scene in "Saving With Cereals" skit, by Crowland Cloverleaf Club. ideals and that we are skillful in defining our roles. To what extent will we as club mem- bers achieve success." Greetings From Mrs. Lymburner Mrs. L. G. Lymburner, F.W.I.O. President, assured the girlsâ€"-as Miss Eadie had said in introducing herâ€"that the Women‘s Institutes are keenly interested in 4H Homemaking Club work, locally sponsoring clubs and pro- viding leaders, and at county and provincial level awarding scholarships to club members. Mrs. Lymburner spoke of the tomorrost the girls would meet, the scientific developâ€" ments of the times that high school students understand better than the generation ahead of them. She referred to our debt to club leaders and our need of leaders in many fields â€"young people should begin to prepare for this responsibility by getting the best education they can. She encouraged the girls to think and act for themselves, not to try always “to walk in the path of others"; and added: “Every woman has some special thing she can do better than anyone else. We each have our Stl"t‘vlllgths and our weaknesses. Until We recog- nize these we cannot be whole people."

A Forward Look Dr. D. N. Huntley, Director of the Re- search Institute of Ontario, guest speaker at the conference banquet gave an encouraging picture of what is being done and what can be done to combat hunger and illiteracy the world over. He told the girls that being so fortunate as to live in Canada they have no idea how hard it is for people in some coun- tries to earn a loaf of bread; but with the knowledge agricultural research is giving us we should be able to produce enough food to feed the world's six billion people. And when we have two billion people in the world who can read and write and one billion who can’t, it should not be hard to teach everyone. Young people should not be too concerned when they hear talk about the danger that the whole world will “blow up," Dr. Huntley said. “It is an old idea, and it has failed in the past. The world has never offered a more interesting, challenging, promising future." Entertainment Along with all the “study” sessions, the program previded for entertainment, some of it with an educational mission: at get-acquainted party the first evening, a bus tour of the campus, several periods in the swimming pool under supervision, tours of the landscaping section of the horticultural department, dem- onstrations in flower arrangement by Louise Heringa, informal evening snacks and parties, a banquet at which Barbara Burton of Rus- sell county thanked the guest speaker and Ann Whitlow of Brant thanked Dr. MacLachlan for the hospitality of the College and the staff 23
