The Ontario Girls’ Conform-ace PENING THE 1965 CONFERENCE for Ontario 4-H Homemaking Club girls, Miss Jean Scott, Supervisor of Junior Home Economics Extension Service, reminded the girls that they were a select group. chosen by their county or district home economists because of their ability as leaders and then” desire to go on to further achievements. The program. built around the theme “The Club Girl, Today and Tomorrow," had been planned, Miss Scott said, to help them to gain an appreciation of their opportunities and re- sponsibilities as an individual, a member of a family, a club, a community and as Canadians and world citizens; but the conference would be of value to them only if they entered into it wholeheartedly, as they did in their club work back home. As delegates to the confer- ence they were representing the 11,500 4â€"H Homemaking Club girls in the province and the 50,000 club girls in Canada. “This,” said Miss Scott “is a privilege which carries with it the responsibility of presenting the right kind of image.” Certainly the girls did not dis- appoint her. Their appearance. deportment, responsiveness and clear thinking reflected credit on the clubs, the schools and the homes they came from. The University of Guelph Dr. J. D. MacLachlan outlined the develop- ment of the new University of Guelph. founded on the three collegesâ€" Ontario Agri- cultural College, established in 1874, Macdon- ald Institute in 1903, and the Ontario Veteriâ€" nary College which opened in Toronto in 1862 and was moved to the Guelph campus in 1922. To these three colleges a fourth, Wellington College. a college of Arts and Science, was added in 1964 and will be opened to students this fall.
