INSTITUTE DELE- GATES VISIT 4-H CLUB CON- GRESS AT CHICAGO. Fifteen Junior Institute Girls and twelve Junior Farmers from various counties in Ontario, ac- companied by F. M. Campbell, Agricultural Representative, Ux- "bridge, and Miss Jean Scott, Girls' Club Coach, Port : Elgin, Ontario, were guests at the 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, Dec. 1st to Dec. 8th. The 4-H Club organization in the U.S.A. is the largest rural youth "movement in. the world 'having a membership close to two million boys and girls from all States in the Union. This organization conducts live stock projects such as calf clubs, swine and foal clubs, poultry work, community work, sewing clubs and all Home Economic projects. The winners of counties within the State and State winners are invited to the 4-H Club Congress for National Honours. : An example of our national winners' achievements over a 5 year period: a girl had canned 6000 quarts of fruit, jam and vegetables and had sold over $100,000 in war bonds in two loan drives in the past year. Our Ontario group was greatly impressed with the ease of 4-H Club delegates while addressing. large audiences at the Congress. They spoke well, showing no signs of nervousness and carried on excellent discussions at many sessions. The program was ideal, with addresses from outstanding youth leaders in America, deal- ing with problems of youth in 'Wartime and the post war era. Many network broadcasts were arranged during the Con- gress, at which members of the Ontario delegation were called upon to contribute to the discus- sion in regard to rural youth or- ganizations in Ontario. This was interesting and our Ontario dele- gates made an excellent contri- bution to various discussion groups. All Ontario delegates en- joyed the friendship and hospi- tality of their American friends and made many acquaintances. Thirty-five . delegates from South America, Chili, Columba, and Brazil were at the Congress, all studying rural youth organ- ization in the 'United Sfates. Twelve hundred delegates and leaders were in attendance at this event. Lavish entertainment 'was pro- vided at each banquet and during the afternoon organizations were conducted for both boys and girls. The Ifield Museum of Science and Industry, The, Mus- eum of National History; Inter- national Stock Show and Stock Yards, the International Har- vester Twine Mill, the Cotton Spool Co. and other manufacturing visited. To visit this Congress is a wonderful experience and educa- tion for anyone. Youth from' every State in Line Union and' leading ! concerns' were: Canada discussing youth pro- blems and -interchanging ideas in a great step in world progress. Ontario delegates are not chosen at random to take this trip. The girls winning the high- est total county score in Home Ficonomics Clubs and the boys winning the highest total score| in the Annual Live Stock Judg- ing Competitions are eligible to the well-known "Chicago Trip." In many cases the County Councils make a $50.00 award to the winner of these competitions {o assist in sending the winner from Ontario. County Councils are to be highly commended on this excellent project to encour- age Junior Farmer work in On- tario. Llewelyn 'Richardson, of Ashburn, was the winner of this trip from Ontario County -this year. One Agricultural Representa- tive and one Home Economics Coach are sent each year from the Ontario Department of Agri- culture to be in charge of the Ontario delegation, E> SP ---- ---- OBITUARY ROBERT JOHN HOOEY Robert Hooey died suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clifford Sonley, on Wednesday, Dec. 20th, 1944, in his 76th year.
