Mr. Bennett reminded us that in our study of history, prac- tically all of it had been history of white peopleâ€"British, Canadian, Greek, Roman and others. We know little about the history of other races. He made a strong argument for the importance of trying to understand and get to know people living in other parts of the world. The Club Girl At Home Miss McKercher spoke to the girls about their club work and some of the immediate concerns of their own lives. She expressed her pride in their practical work and her hope that their club experience was helping them to become more effective members of their families. “Life in a family is the closest and longest lasting of all relationships," she said, “and in your clubs you learn to get along with people. We should be aware at an early age of the friendly, warm. affectionate relationships in a family. Think of the work someone at home is doing so that you can be hereâ€"and this is only one of many sacrifices members of a family make for each other. “C‘Juh work is not just for training in skills,“ said the Director. “When you take your club pledge you promise to stretch your mind a little. Sometimes we have pressure to get girls into club work earlier but we believe our age restriction is right. You have to wait till you are sixteen to get your driver‘s license. You may resent regulations set down for you but this is training for citizenshipâ€"just as the re- strictions of your parents that you must drive carefully, you must be in at a certain hour, you can‘t go out more than one night a Week. Without such restrictions you may grow up to say ‘Why did they ever let me do that!’ ” 16 Miss McKercher urged the girls to ask them- selves what they are really like at home; whether they are a real joy to their fill'lllllcs' whether or not they are quick to say "Hi 40' that“; whether or not they are giving the other members of the family the respect and unâ€" couragement and affection they could We them. “When you have had expel-1m. m worthy home membership,” she said ,ur next goal is to find an interesting challer the career where you can make a worthy .n_ tribution.” Exploring Careers Taking part in a panel discussion on "t m Explorations” were Miss Frances Lam ,m of Home Ec0norniCs Service, Moderui a nurse, Mrs. Charles Heinbuch of rm county; a public school teacher, MlSS Elt‘ Jean Anderson, Peel county; a home: 3} and mother of three small children, Mrs .\-. lor, Brant county; a County Home Econ ,1 mm Qt \HVALur V mu cannm A 1 § Anne Sutherland, Rutherford club, Lnrnbton iv. comments on her club's exhibit.
