Miss Sheila Prince of London N. T. MONTEITH LTD w, C, Winegard are involved. Voters lists from the 26 municipalities in Huron were used as a start in determining which persons would participate in the survey. From there David Niece uses mathematical tables to determine the 720 participants, The interviews are held without any inconvenience to the person being questioned. Taking a quick look at some of the question- naires, Dr. Hadwen said they have been held on a mower in the hay field, in the barn, in the backyard, sitting on a tractor wheel, kitchen, hardware store office, etc. As an example Dr. Hadwen said, "From the report one couldn't tell what was the favorite fish of one individual, but we would certainly know of the majority. Interviewing to date has been mostly in the north of the county. Activity in the south is expected within the next two weeks. David Niece told the T-A he expected about 50 residents of Exeter will be interviewed, While the program is under the direction of Dr. Hadwen and professor J. C. McIntyre, nine other University of Guelph faculty members and president EXETER 235-2121 A total of 720 Huron County residents are taking part in a survey being conducted this summer by the University of Guelph, The project is to seek out and record "grassroots" opinions in Ontario's rapidly changing rural society and obtain information not presently available to planners, scientists and local government officials. Dr. C, T. M, Hadwen, a University of Guelph sociologist and co-ordinator of the project says this is the first project of its kind in Canada. "We hope this survey will reveal more kinds of human information, showing the way of life of the rural area and opinions residents have on numerous subjects," added Dr. Hadwen. Huron County was chosen for the survey because it represents "classical" rural Ontario. Continued Dr. Hadwen "Huron is a solid piece of rural Ontario, not rich but certainly not starving." The study expected to be ready for publication early next summer involves such disciplines as geography, extension education, economics, political studies, landscape architecture and sociology and anthropology. In explaining the usefulness of the program, Dr. Hadwen said "For the most part we know something of the economic, physical and social changes faced by residents of rural areas but not how these individuals perceive these developments." Continuing he said "The im- portant part of this research program is to find out what the rural residents think about the forces of change." The actual interviews are being carried out by three natives of Huron now attending University. Neil and David Gowing from the Brussels area are students at the University of Guelph while Paul Swan of Brucefield attends the University of Western Ontario. Organizing the interviewing and setting up the sampling frame is David Niece who grew up on a farm in Essex county and recently completed his M,A. in sociology at the University of Guelph. Dr. Hadwen said the three young men "are doing an ex- cellent job in interviewing." "Their general reception by the public has been very good." The interviews held with about three per cent of the heads of households in Huron takes about a half hour. The information received from individuals will be kept in strictest confidence with only overall statistics to be revealed. .$ e footbone's connected to the eadbone. Think about Your feet do a lot of things for you. They dance when you're happy. They walk when you have to get someplace. They jump when you're excited. They tiptoe when you come home late. In short, you can't get along well without them. And that's where proper footwear helps. When you play tennis, you wear tennis shoes. When you walk, you wear good walking shoes. And when you work, if your job calls for them, you wear safety shoes. They protect your feet from injuries. Puncture- resistant soles protect against protruding nails. Protective toe caps absorb the shock of falling objects. And painful stubbing. And deep treads in the soles protect against treacherous walking conditions. Take a good look at your shoes. Make sure they're not getting run down at the heel. Change fraying laces. And check the soles to see that they're in good condition. That's what self-defence is. Taking good care of yourself. rr Self-defence. It works.
