Canadian name •
for the great new
"LAURIER"
BARLEY.
Yields! Yields!! Yields!!!
This is "LAURIER" • • •
• • an excellent new 6-row barley that is outyielding
everything in sight
• a feed barley of mid-season maturity
• good straw strength — medium straw length
• produces a large, plump kernel
• resistant to loose smut — moderately resistant to leaf
rust — susceptible to powdery mildew
• vigorous growth and tillering for high yields
Consider "LAURIER" performance
This table shows comparative bu/acre yields resulting from three
years of Licensing Trials reported by Agriculture Canada:

Vanier 64.8 60.9 56.2 60.8
LAURIER 77.4 68.8 61.6 70.0
In Stewart (1975) trials at Ailsa Craig, Laurier outyielded Herta by a whopping 11.4 bu/acre.
Weigh the advantages of "LAURIER"
Because Laurier is so vigorous, a seeding rate of 11/2 bu/acre is
recommended. This is 1/2 bu/acre less than other varieties. In a 50
acre field that's a seed saving of 25 bushels. And, with Laurier,
you've substantially increased yield potential.
The "LAURIER" story ,
starts with its development at Macdonald College by Dr. Harold R.
Klinck. This past spring, Stewarts seeded 288 pounds on 12 acres
and harvested an excellent crop. This seed went to New Zealand for
multiplication during the Southern Hemisphere's summer. By mid-
March we'll have harvested and have back in Canada, our second
excellent crop of Laurier. From 6 to over 34,000 bushels in less than
a year ... not bad!

Ontario's Guaranteed Annual
Income System — the GAINS
Programme was introduced to
benefit residents over 65 years of
age and people who are blind or
disabled. The benefits for senior
citizens are administered by the
Guaranteed Income and Tax
Credit Branch of the Ministry of
Revenue, whilst the blind and
disabled are taken care of by the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services.
To qualify for assistance under
the GAINS programme, people
must have lived five consecutive
years in Canada, with the last full
year in Ontario, immediately
prior to applying for benefit.
Alternatively, one must have
I lived in Ontario for one full year
immediately prior to applying for
GAINS and have been resident in
Canada for periods totalling
twenty years since reaching age
eighteen, or have lived in Ontario
for periods that add up to twenty
years since reaching age
eighteen.
Items considered income are
earnings from employment, net
income from a profession or
business, income from
superannuation, retirement
pensions, annuity payments and
other sources, including pensions
from any other countries, which
are taxable in Canada, Bank,
bond, mortgage and other in-
terest are included, as. are net
dividends and net taxable capital
gains, unemployment insurance
benefits, net rents from property
and income from family
allowance. Old Age Security and
Guaranteed Income Supplement.
payments are included, as well as
payments from the Canada
Pension Plan or Quebec Pension
Plan,
If total income from all sources
is below the guaranteed
minimum which is reviewed
periodically, a cheque is sent
each month from the Ontario
Government to qualified
recipients to make up the dif-
ference, At the present time the
monthly minimum for senior
citizens is $265 for a single person
— $530 for a married couple who
both qualify. The current
minimum for the blind and
disabled is $250,
People over 65 years of age who
receive OAS/GIS payments from
the federal government, need not
apply for the Ontario GAINS
Programme. Their eligibility will
be determined automatically,
Those whO do not meet the
residency requirements for the
Old Age Security Pension, but
appear to satisfy GAINS
requirements, should request an
The Huron County Board of
Education met in special session
Monday February 16 at Clinton to
consider drastic cutbacks in the
1976 expenditures.
John Elliott of Blyth, chairman
of the board's budget committee
presented a list of restraints for
the consideration of the board.
After study of the recom-
mendations, the , matter was,
turned • back to' the budget
committees to prepare a final
draft for official approval.
Included in the restraints are a
number of measures which have
already been implemented by the
board, A major item was a freeze
on all capital equipment ex-
penditures with any exceptions to
have the approval of the budget
committee.
The board has also im-
plemented a policy of charging
any equipment replacement
costs to the school's operating
budget rather than as a special
budget item as has been the
practice in the past.
Perhaps the most drastic of the
steps already initiated was a
general cut of ten percent in all
school budgets. The ten percent
reduction was felt satisfactory
when inflation facfors during the
past twelve months are con-
sidered.
Also to come under scrutiny of
the board to trim costs are
transportation policies and high
cost courses. The board will
examine costs of transportation
for extra-curricular activity,
walking distances to the nearest
bus stop and the cost of field
trips, particularly in regard to
application form for GAINS by
writing, visiting or telephoning
the Ministry of Revenue at
Queen's Park in Toronto
(M7A 2133). You may call the
Ministry free of charge. Dial "0"
and ask the operator for ZENITH
8-2000,
If you are blind or disabled and
are now receiving assistance
under Ontario's Family Benefit
Programme, you will receive
your benefits cheque each month,
automatically. You do not have to
apply for it. If you do not receive
Family Benefits, you may qualify
for the special benefits
programme. Applications must
be made through the District
the surplus buses that are used
exclusively for field trips.
High cost and low enrollment
courses will be examined with a
,view to elimination or cen-
tralization.
Other budget restraints
suggested by Mr. Elliott's
committee will be the possibility
of closing classrooms or schools
if enrolment is found to be
lacking The board' will also
examine the possibility of
reducing staff and placing a
freeze on salaries.
Extra-curricular activities will
also be studied to determine the
cost of equipment, membership
fees and exhibition games,
The board will also consider the
question of whether or not night
school classes should be self-
sustaining and will take a similar
look at community use of the
schools so the program can
become more, if not totally, self-
sustaining.
Driver education, conferences
and conventions as well as
energy consumption will also be
studied as possible avenues of
cost saving.
Board chairman Herb
Turkheim said that while it was
not expected that the board would
accept all the measures being
considered, a large number
would be seriously considered to
attempt to keep the education
mill rate increase as low as
possible in light of recent
provincial grant cutbacks.
Many strive to better them-
selves for each person who tries
to make himself better.
Office of the Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services,
Dependents of special benefits
recipients will receive additional
assistance, based on the size of
the family and the ages of the
children,
'This programme does not
apply to the totally unem-
ployable, who have been tran-
sferred to Family Benefits from
General Welfare Assistance.
Those who, qualify for the
special benefits programme,
Family Benefits or the federal
Guaranteed Income Supplement
are entitled to receive approved
drugs on prescription, free of
charge. A card should be mailed
to you automatically, but if you
qualify for this assistance and
have not received the drug
benefit card, please contact the
Ministry — either Revenue or
Community and Social Services.
Ontario doctors, dentists and
pharmacists have a list of drugs
approved by the Ministry of
Health which may be dispensed
free of charge under the Drug
Benefits programme.
