I met a lot of great girls and I just wish there was some way We could all meet again. I learned a lot about other girls â€" their ideas and opinions during our discussion groups. The food was delicious and I’m sure I gained five pounds. The speeches were all inâ€" teresting. I especially enjoyed listening to Dr. Ethel Chapman. I‘m very glad I had the opportunity to go to the conference and I’d like to say thank you to those responsible for asking me to attend. Myrna Smith‘ Elgin County. 1!

Mrsr Fitzsimmons, Home Economist; Mrs. Yates, Social Service; Mrs. Deforesl, private secretory, Discussion Groups To provide the girls with the opportunity to express their owu ideas, to hear the ideas 0t other girls and to di5cuss these ideas. disco» sion groups were an important part of the con- ference program. Some of the questions were â€" “How different do you think your world will be in ten years?” “How do you think the family unit as you know it will change in the future?" “A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and hi~ playâ€"he hardly knows which is which. Dr» cuss this." And “Today much of the adver- tising appears in many forms. What influence does advertising have on your spending?" Reports of the findings of the discussion groups were presented during the Thursday morning program. I think the conferences held at Guelph each year are very rewarding. You get to know girls from all over Ontario and a chance to learn about their area and what they would like to do in the future years of their lives. I enjoyed everything about the centerence. but I think I enjoyed the interest groups and the night programs before you retired the most. Janice Hutchison. Kenora. HOME A ND COUNTRY
