Currently, there are some 45 farm families in Ontario in- volved in the Ontario Farm Va- cation program. Under the Federal Agricultural Rehabilita- tion and Development Admini- stration (ARDA), farmers in- terested in offering farm vacations may be eligible for grants up to a maximum of$1,500 or 40% of the approved costs of home improvements. Accord- ing to sources at the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) a farm vacation operation can mean anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thou- sand dollars of additional gross income to a farm. All farmers currently involved in the pro- gram are OFA members. To qualify for ARDA assistance, farmers interested in becoming farm vacation hosts must'prove a need to supplement farm income and must agree to take the training courses offered by the OFA. The farm must be a working farm and accurate records must be kept of the vacation operation. Rae C. Cunningham, director of properties for the OFA, sug- gests that farmers who don't enjoy meeting people and who would find, guests a nuisance for- get about the farm vacation program. The entire, family should be eager hosts. Plumbing facilities, the availability of suit- able rooms, the extra cooking required, and willingness to an- swer questions from uninformed guests are also important factors. _ Rates now being charged by farme,rs acting, as vacation hosts range from $60 to $75 per week for adults and from $35 to $40 per week for children. Farmers who are interested and wish to obtain further information should get in touch with their agricultural representative. ,Simplirsf washers& 7yers at ° LDFIELD9S AR H DWARE 804851 — BRUSSELS [ Family MICRO lita See the new line of ars iMeo. sow In scanning the Blyth Standard we note that Mrs. Harvey Houston of Lucknow, Provincial Public Relations Officer for the Women's Institute was guest speaker Tuesday afternoon as delegates from Women's Institute branches in Huron East District gathered for their annual meeting in Walton.
