Ontario Girls9 Conference Scott, Supervisor of Junior Extension in the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture’s Home Economics Service, the tenth an- nual “Ontario Girls’ Conference” was held at ‘the Federated Colleges, Guelph in June. This is a Conference for 4â€"H Homemaking Club members of sixteen or over who have com- pleted at least six club units. whose work has been up to a standard and who have been helpful to their clubs in a general way. Each county in the province is allowed to send a quota of girls in proportion to its club mem- bership, making up a total attendance of two hundred at the conference. UNDER THE DIRECTION of Miss Jean A Girl And Her Goals Dr. W. A. Young, chaplain at the Fed- erated Colleges, speaking on the conference theme, "A Girl and Her Goals.” told the girls that one of an older person’s fears is that some of them with good opportunities will sacrifice their goals for some immediate de- sire, as Esau sold his birthright for a dish of stew; and he told a story of a robin that was "crazy about worms.” One day he saw a sign “Worms For Sale” and he made a deal with the salesman to trade him worms for feathers â€"giving the man a feather every time he wanted a worm. He had a great time that summer, all the worms he wanted even though he had to pay for them with feathers. Then the cold winds came down from the north and the birds began to fly south but the robin had last so many feathers he couldn't fly: and in the cold of the winter he died. “Life will call you to pleasures from many directions,” Dr. Young said. “It was never so easy for a girl to fail to be what she wants to be. You must keep your goal and purpose in FALL 1963 view and know where you're going. Don't exâ€" change the feuthers with which you were ex- pected to soar for a mess of worms. "You don't reach your goals by looking at them or thinking about them." the padre ud- vised. "The road to failure as well as another road is paved with good intentions: and the most ashamed people I have ever met never meant to do wrong. They just thought if they didn‘t do what everyone else was doing they‘d be ‘a square.‘ But life is like a chain store. Everything you pick you have to pay for. Defy your elders now and you have to pay for it. Choose the best and you will pay for it in hard work and self discipline but it will be worth it." The Freedom From Hunger Crusade “In the ‘Frcedom From Hunger' crusade it is helpful to send food and money to the hungry countries but it does not solve the problem.“ Dr, Mabel Sanderson of Mucdon- uld Institute told the conference. She explained that the only way to help the people to help themselves is the plan. now in operation through FAO. of sending men and women trained in agriculture and home economics to live close to the people. learn what their prob- lems are and try to find ways of solving them. Then they must train local people to work with them, carrying education to the natives of the country. The people undertaking this work must be very practical with good health and a resiliency of mind and spirit. so most of those who are sent are fairly young, Dr. San- derson referred to the fine work being done by Jean Stcekcl of Waterloo county. Some of Miss Steckel's problems were to get the Afri- can women to prepare food on a raised platâ€" form out of the way of insectsâ€"not on the 13
