Yes tfis quite outspoken gentleman told the Free Press editor Monday night' fiat the Whitby Free Press and the other newspapers were ail "no good" because we ail (at least most of us) ran photos of*Mayor Des Newman cutting the ribbon officially opening t e neiv Whitby Yacht Club's c!ubhouse. H-e told us because Lord Thiompson or Basset (Eaton) are prett~y lard to get a hold of ....we're fot. JVe can't repeat what he said about these particular photos, but he feit that in the case of the Free Press we, shouid be coming out with very sensational editorials instead and tearing apart Mayor Newman and Whitby counicillors in general. lVell we're very sorry that our editorial policy 15 îlot based on sensationa 'lism and fiction. And it brings înuch dismay to us that we have to apologize to anybody fogr our tru thful, factual and impartial type of reporting.* But wvhat reallv bot/zers us is that fis fellow says he wrote a lettwr t one of the Oshawa newspapers complain- ing about everybody ini general. Why flot the Ihitby newspaper? But then he's izever contributed anything to his local newvspaper.

Dear Sir: 1 wish to luaiuk you for putting tlue last report in your paper. 1 realize tluat it inay flot always be conven- ient to do so but thank you for your time anyway. After having written the Iast report 1 realized tl1at duere are prob. ably a numiber ofpeople who don't even know whiat the 4-H program i s aIl about. So. I have prepared a brie f sumn- mary of the prograni which I hope that you will prini if' you ever luave a colunin to filI. 4-H is a program for the developrnent of young peo- ple, in which participants nucet together in clubs f'or group activities. h hlelps to- days' youth, giving themn gui- dence, friendship and nom- erous opportunities. In each community one or more ad- tilts wiIl serve as volunteer club leaders. These leaders provide guidance to thue mcmi- bers and tlue local club pro- gram. Help also cornes from tlue Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. At prescrnt Mr. Ivan Bell is thue Agriculture Representative, with Brian Hancock and Paul Ruth as assistants. Each in- dividual is allowed to choose their own projeci. This may be anything from a field crop projcct to an animal. This aids the young people by developing tlueir sense of good decision making after having taken in ail the necessary factors. After choosing their project they must then carry il out in full. Thuis teaches rcsponsibiliiy. The mnember will main-tain records which, arc ineaningfu ' 1to iîn. In the livestock clubs the rec- ordscontainsuch information as the cost of' kceping your animal and the amounit of daily gain. This gives thein a rcalistic view of the costs and overhead of farming. In short the 4-H programn dev- clopes individual qualities of leadership, and develops an appreciation of agriculture. We mccl once a month at some agricultural oriented place. Here we judge live- stock on what buyers want, have a brief but concise lcss- on, have time for questions and have a greai time. 1 hb- long to the South Ontario County 4-H Community Club so the following relates ho that specific club.
