Ontario Girls’ Conference of the annual conference for 4-H Home- making Club members. arranged by Home Economics Service Extension Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, and held at Guelph University in June. The girl‘s world“ was taken to include her home, her school, club, community and country. Wel- coming the girls at the opening session, Miss Jean M. Scott. Supervisor of Junior Extension in Home Economics Service, reminded them that they had been chosen to attend the con- ference because their County or District Home Economists felt that they had not only made a good contribution as a club member in their own community but that they would enter into the conference program with enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility. This they did without reserve and with a grace that endeared them to everyone who had anything to do with their conference. Miss Rosemary Clark. Supervisor of County and District Home Economists. Miss Frances Lampman, Clothing Supervisor and the newly appointed field home economists served as directors and counsellors. YOU IN YOUR WORLD" was the theme A Welcome to the New University Dr. J. D.

Young, College Chaplain and Di- rector of Students‘ Affairs spoke on the con- ference theme “You in Your World." “The most outstanding feature in your world is that it is a new world," Dr. Young said. "but while you are living in a new world, your generation has the same needs. the same emotions, the same temptations as the youth of every generation before you. Human nature does not change. The young people of today are no better and no worse, no smarter and no dumber than young people have ever been. But you‘re living in a different world and you‘re making a pretty good job of it.“ Dr. Young predicted that the changes of the next fifty years will make the changes of the last fifty "look like nothing at all."
