optimistic about saving the hay crop Several storms later the prospects arent nearly as good Hay that has been baled and stored is poor and a lot still on fields will have to be burned or used for

this campus and in clude mens residence wom ens residence classroom and of Gee building and a dining hall lounge library buil ding Recreational facilities for bowling swimming bas ketball and curling also are available on the base The Minister stated that the establishment of this school In South Huron would relieve the situation at Kemptvllle Ridgetown and Guelph where the present facilities are over taxed by the recent expansion in enrollment It is anticipated that the demand for training in agriculture and home ec onomics wul continue to ex pand The Department of Ag riculture and Food has the responsibility of providing such post high school training in Ontario The entrance requirements for Centralis will be similar to those for diploma courses at Kemptvllle and Guelph which prefer a sec ondary graduation diploma Consideration will be given to mature applicants whose ex perience may be equivalent to the normal entrance re quirements MANAGEMENT The new school in its Agri cultural

fill normally The location of our offices in Newmarket was changed last week We are at the Newmarket Plaza now on the second floor at the west end With the office on St for 20 years it will take
