For a few people, however, a sting by a honeybee, bumblebee or wasp can be as fatal as a snake bite. Simple precautions will help ensure that you don't become a victim, says Professor P. W. Burke, Environmental Biology Department, University of Guelph. Remember that these stinging insects will be more prevalent in picnic areas or around flower beds. When working in such an area, use an insect repellent, or wear protective clothing. Avoid hairdressings or perfumes with floral scents. Wear light colored clothing. Dark clothing attracts and irritates these insects. The rewarding art of Self-Defence. The best protective equipment against job accidents is already yours -- your eyes, your ears, your brain. Keep alert, work defensively, and you'll stay on the job. Self-defence is the secret of safety. You've got a lot to live for; work defensively, and enjoy life. Be a champion of Self-Defence.

Community effort seems to be the word out at Vanastra (formerly CFB Clinton) as these residents got together last week to cut the lawn on the boulevard between Toronto Road and Hal ifax Street. With four lawnmowers working in unison, it wasn't long ti I l the area was presentable again. (News-Record photo) ydro strike costly to area farmers The strike by Ontario Hydro workers is costing farmers thousands of dollars, according to Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Some rural areas have suffered power cuts of up to 48 hours. Hundreds of chickens suffocated when electric fans failed. Dairy cows stood unranked for hours as farmers awaited .power. Ontario Hydro, sole supplier of electricity in Ontario, is coming under increasing criticism from farmers as the strike continues. Gordon Hill, President of the OFA, calls the situation "a disgrace," matter of principle, BY J. CARL HENIINGVVAY . The weather is always a safe topic so I'll lead off with that. The weather isn't making hay this last few days but the spring grain and wheat are looking exceptionally good in our area and the corn is pulling out of the frost damage nicely. All that is needed for another top crop is more of the high temperatures that we're getting. (July 12) Now for some other problems. The roof on our house needs paint. I want to get it done this year and I've had roof painters calling regularly but haven't any way to find out the quality of product used or the reliability of the painter. I had a painter in this morning that seemed pretty good but---He gave me a price that seemed reasonable for good material but in order to justify it started to tell me about the big investment he had in his truck (less than a good sized tractor) then ended up by stating that he had to have $25 just to get up on the roof. When I did a little mental arithmetic the price for the paint was pretty low so the roof still needs paint. Why does he have to get $25 just to get up on the Roof? Does he have to get it to have a $5,000 income or is it for a $10, or $15 thousand yearly income? I wonder what would happen if I were to load up my hogs and started telling people I had to have $75 for the pigs? I don't think it would work. In the first place, the government takes very careful steps to protect he food buyer but doesn't seem to have any protection regarding quality of paint. What happens if the roof painter doesn't get this price that he "has to have"? He can simply fold up and collect welfare. However, if the armer is toget welfare he has to somehow have his life-time saving hat he has put in his farm disappear. But perhaps I'm not being fair to our painter friend and our enevolent government that distributes the "goodies". Perhaps we armers have ourselves to blame. You see, we belong to a strange reed that takes the Atlantic Charter seriously, particularly the tatement "There shall be equal opportunity for all" This is the reason hat an article in a recent "Farm" paper was quite critical of the askatchewan government suggesting assistance for the farmers to do heir own livestock processing, This was labelled "unfair ompetition" against the Packers. We farmers believe in "equal pportunity for all" so strongly that we don't object to feed companies. ften processor oriented, producing hogs, cattle or poultry.

"We Must be guaranteed a dependable supply of power. This responsibility must take priority over labour squabbles," The Ontario Government is considering favourably the idea of encouraging the setting up of fruit Stands at service centres along the expressways, or on cutoffs on 401, says the Ontario Safety League. The idea is to help growers to market more of their fruit to tourists. Range of Rattlesnakes in Ontario and Location of Antivenin Depots Precaution to prevent insect stings Always move slowly around the insects and their nests. Quick motion and air movement will excite them. One thing to remember is that the insects become less active as the day becomes darker and cooler, If you are stung by an insect that leaves a noticeable stinger, do not attempt to pluck it out. This will only force the remaining venom into the system. Instead use an object, even 'a fingernail, to scrape the stinger away. "Tame" honeybees are the only ones that leave their stinger behind. The "wild" insects do not. If you do get stung, an application of baking soda mixed with water to form a paste will help to relieve the pain. If there are other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, choking or marked swelling, go to a hospital as quickly as possible. In such cases, a short period of time can be critical.
