Through the Junior Agriculturalist Agriculturalist Program, close to 290 youths will be working on farms, distributed across the province. They will experience farmers' valuable knowledge and learn about animal husbandry, machinery handling and general farm labor. The experience is not limited to farm skills, but includes every aspect of living with the farm family. Because of the expansion of the program's capacity, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food can offer more opportunities to commercial farmers. Students will arrive for a 9- week period, beginning June 20. Funded by the Ontario Youth Secretariat and administered by the Rural Organizations and Services Branch of the ministry, the Junior Agriculturalists receive a training allowance of $16 a day.

They are Amanda Elizabeth, daughter of Sylvia and Bill Lord, Janet Elaine, daughter of Dawn (Lord) and Gary Rowe, and Andrea Suzanne, daughter of Teresa and Jim Lord. They were christened by Rev. Gordon Rutherford and welcomed into the church on • behalf of the congregation by elders, Mrs. Morton Henderson and Allin Osborne. Bright spring flowers were in the altar vases and a lovely arrangement of flowers was in loving remembrance of Russell White. The children's story told of the offering of the first fruits of the harvest, token of fullness yet to come, and illustrated the coming of the Holy Spirit with its promise of future help and power. The solo part of the choir's anthem was sung by Lloyd Kellogg and the offering was received by Russell Baker, Allin Osborne, Bill Beckett, and Harold Austin. Rev. Rutherford's message concerned the power of the Holy Spirit, what it lias clone and can do for man. Sincere sympathy goes to the family of Russell White whose sudden tragic death happened last week, when he was struck by a car. Mrs. Clarence Nichols spent the holiday weekend with her family in Westmeath. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Nichols accompanied by Patrick Jiggins of Port Hope, visited with Gloria and Doug Young in Toronto on Sunday. They celebrated Alyson Young's birthday who was one year old on Friday, May 20. Mark and Steven Foster of Starkville spent the holiday weekend with their aunt Mrs. Roy Austin and family. Saturday was a busy day in the area. "Dorothy's House" at Garden Hill, the East Durham Society's cottage of displays, operated by a board of trustees, was opened for the season.
