It is being spon- sored by the ministry of education. 9 a.m.to\10 'rrA SUNDAVS The project began last year. Lynn Hofstetter work- ed on it then. This year she was in charge of the group. "We added to some of the information that was start- ed last year and we looked at a few different areas," she said. The project originated when six geography teach- ers submitted the idea to the Waterloo County Board of Education. The teach- ers felt that there was a need to gather research on the Kitchener-Waterloo area and compile it in such a way that it could easily be used in the class room. The Min- istry approved of the idea and tho Waterloo County Board of Education hired the seven students. "We looked up statistics on agriculture in the area dating as far back as 1951. We got our information from Census Canada," said One of the areas studied was agriculture.

In the area of industry, the students worked through the public relations depart- ments of local industries and arranged tours with Budd Automotive, Dominion Wool- ens, Westinghouse and BF. Goodrich. "We wrote up a general history on each industry. We have slides showing the outside of every industry in the area and some indoor pictures as well," said Lynn. For every industry, they accumulated information about where the raw ma- terials came from, what the industry was producing and. where the finished products were being sent.
