' What a wonderful week was spent in) by: Junior Farmers from all over the dnl of province of Ontario at Geneva Park! The fortunate péople who were chosen ' to represent Ontario County were Ross McMillan, Beaverton; and Key Prentice, Port Perry. = This group was gathered together at Union Station, ~ on Monday, September 4th, at 10.00 | Rock, where the vesper service was held. This was the most quiet, rest-| am. From there we journeyed by chartered bus to Geneva Park on Lake "Qouchiching * where - the week was spent mainly in taking "leadership courses and enjoying a good time. The fellowship with approximately, one hundred young people from different farming communities in Ontario and Ohio added immensely to the interest. Between Toronto and the park we registered and received our headbands with name tags. These head bands served three purposes: (a) To signify that we were Junior Farmer Canipers. . (b) To let others know. who we were and where we came from. To make things interesting the group was divided into six Indian 'tribes. The well-qualified staff, with Rev. Wm. Young, 0.A.C., Guelph as their chief, made up. the" Big Feet tribe. The rest were .divided into groups of fifteen, headed by a chief' and sagamore. Norman Linsay, Y.M. C.A., London, was the Big Chief of all tribes. * Each day the tribes were. ex- pected to/ prepare' either the vesper service or/the camp paper, flag raising or flag Jowering. For these efforts the tribe, received a feather which the chief wore in his headband. 2 : To begin the day we were shored by a bell at seven o'clock. ag rai ing was at, 'seven-twenty and bredk- fast sbyen-thirty. After dats t a tribal "meeting! was' held 'Whe Tthe tribe planned their various activities for the day. From nine until ten we had a priod called "Let's Sing." Here we sang new songs, learned to lead comm upity singing, and took breath- ing and voice control lessons. The following hour was spent in program planning and - evaluation with Bob Clark, Coriell Unjversity, New York, our teacher. to the braves because most of them are leaders in their clubs at home.

Ja all meals, and especially dinner, e'tribal spirit rang high, As each tribe sat together it was easy to help with the entertainment whenéver call- ed upon, At the noon meal the shields for the most tidy and most untidy ol ¢abins were presented. The first two afternoons were spent , by taking several different activities: music, drama, nature study, social re- creation or craft. On the third day , we decided which activity we wished more help in and carried this one on through until the end of the week. After supper the flag was 18wered. Then we picked up our blankets and flashlights and wandered to Sunset ful and inspiring hour of the day. varied. One evening we had square dancing and another a corn roast, but the most interesting evening was the Junior Farmer meeting, Here a sample meeting was carried on by the braves. Sunday was a special day.
