For each of us it is most often the same symptom for each cold. And usually your cold will run its course in about the same way every time. If it's not really a severe one you might even get rid of it without seeing your physician. The cold you want to be extra careful with is the one that does not follow your usual pattern. Either it starts off differently or it does not respond to your efforts to treat it. Don't let this kind hang on, see your phy-' sician before something serious develops.

T-A photo Don Brown of the Farm Safety Association points out that rate increases and pay claims are the responsibility of Workmen's Compensation Board, not FSA. "The policy of the FSA, being involved in an occupational accident prevention program, is to help the farmer in any way we can. An explanation for the rate increases 'is one of the questions constantly being asked," In the past, WCB rates for farm employers were lower than recommended byft provincii* auditors. Withlhe increasing cdst of payments, the deficit for these rates has been increasing steadily over the last three years. In order to bring the deficit back to normal, WCB is adopting the recommendations of its auditors. The $1.50 rate will be increased to $1.95; and the $3.35 rate to $4. Brown continues that "the Farm Safety Association is a purely consultative organization to help Ontario farmers reduce their accident frequencies. Already many farmers are beginning to discover that the number of accidents is well above average; they have to un- derstand that, without accident prevention and safety education, they will be forced to pay even higher assessments."

Turn-, berry area and was co-ordinated, by Jack Stafford of Wroxeter, The aim of the campaign is to add 100 new members per month at least until spring planting commences. In other business, it was decided to establish a committee to study the restructuring of County government. Since it was felt that the province will impose restructuring if nothing is done locally, the members and directors thought it wise to be well informed of what can be expected, President Doug Fortune an- nounced a telegram has been sent to Queens Park opposing the imposition of daylight savings time. In another move, the county federation decided to lodge strong protests against the unacceptable long delays by lawyers and others responsible for the granting of mortgages by the farm credit corporation in Huron county. Some farmers complained that it was near impossible to buy or sell a farm if FCC was involved as the waiting period runs in some cases to a whole year. Stan Cairns of the CIAG office in London spoke on "farm liability", His very informative talk covered everything, from snowmobile liability to aerial spraying liability. Many questions from the members and the answers gave even more enlightenment. GET PROVINCIAL completing 12 projects.

As a result, the rates for farm employers reporting to the Workmen's Compensation Board were raised on January 1 of this year.

It has been evident for some time now, that more young people go into farming than has been the case for a long time. Recently I heard rumors that a sample survey by the Canadian department of agriculture showed that the number of far- mers in Ontario and in Alberta actually increased and are holding steady in the rest of the country. If this is confirmed by a full survey, it would be good news for ;1, all of Canada. Believe it or not, but the farmer is still the back- bone of the country. If the farmer has money, it affects the whole economy and your job in town or city may depend upon the far- mer. In this time of shortages it is a good thing that there are no real food shortages in this country. About everything else is in short supply, be it some hardware or skilled labour. However, if you go to your food store you can be very sure that you don't have to order that roast for your party six weeks in advance. Think about it, it could happen too, After Denmark and P.E.I. now Yugoslavia has regulated land use, All land that has not been tilled for a year has to be hired to people who will do so. Isn't it high time that Ontario does something about speculators' and hobby farmers' land if it is -not used properly? If you non-farm people still think that a farmer is a person who wears bib-overalls, boots covered with animal waste and is rather backward, listen to this. Crop production based on an index of 100 was in 1951 at 38. Ten years later it had in- creased to 73, almost double the output per manhour. In 1971 it had gone up again by 76 percent to 122. Livestock production per manhour increased by 93 percent in the last ten years. Try to beat that you non-farmer. IS SP RO DA HH FS RA CO GE RP 7 60 7 57 7 51 5 45 7 34' 0 33 2 26 0 24 0 14 0 6
