Junior Farmers' Choir Honoured For the past four years the Ontario County Junior Farmers' Choir, spon- sored by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, has been gaining steadily in popularity and accomplishments, and is now a highly recognized choir in, the province. ' Topping many accomplishments and honors, it has been invited this fall to participate in the National 4-H Club Week program at the "4-H Night" at the Eaton Auditorium, Toronto. This is truly a high honor, since those who are attending this National 4-H Club Week are the top 4-H members from all the provinces in Canada; and to be requested to participate in such a program is very rare. However, for those who have attended the various programs, which the choir has pre- gented each year, it is no surprise that such an honour should be given to them. This past week saw the Ontario County Junior Farmer Choir members back in front of their director, Mrs. Elsie Dobson, to commence their fall program practices. This Sunday evening in the Beaver- ton United Church, they will be sing- ing at the County Junior Farmer Church Service.. From then they will be practicing for the National 4-H Club Week presentation, the junior farmer competitions in Toronto in January, and the spring program, which will be presented in March, Anyone interested in joining the Jr. Farmers, and the Choir should contact any of the members.

Boy Scout News The Boy Scout movement started in the year 1907 by Lord Baden Powell, was incorporated throughout the Bri- tish Empire by a Royal Charter. This was granted by His Majesty King George V in 1912 for the purpose of instructing boys in the principles of dicipline, loyalty and good citizenship. The Port Perry Scout Group is sponsored by The "People of Port Perry" whose duty it is to appoint a Group Committee from members of the Sponsoring Body, including par- ents of the boys, to supervise the ac- tivities of the Group. Our Group consists of three Cub Packs, two Scout Troops and the Group Committee. It is the responsibility of the Group Committee to obtain sufficient funds to maintain the Group. Maintenance includes provision for camping and training equipment, meeting place and extraordinary expenses occurring from time to time. Funds for these purposes must be raised by the combined efforts of the Group Committee, Sponsoring Body, and the boys themselves through pro- jects initiated on a Group basis with due respect to policy and rules gov- erning methods of raising money. Oui present problem is the meet- ing place. The Scout hall is not large enough to accommodate the increase in our number of Guides and Scouts. We can therefore expect a large scale money raising campaign in the near future. Please plan to support us to the best of your financial ability which will help us attain our common goal in good Guiding and Scouting. Your Group Committee.
