Whether you are a producer or user, the new policy is designed to meet your needs by: • providing a fair and equitable base price for feed grains across Canada; • encouraging growth of grain and livestock production according to natural potential; • maintaining order and stability throughout the grain and livestock sectors. MAIN FEATURES: • farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada; buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find the best price for their crops; • a nation-wide information system-through the Canadian Livestock Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across the country; • the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and seller of feed grain for export market; • prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB or to others on the domestic market; • cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended to growers, across the country to encourage feed grain production; • a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes; lk steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in grain production, tUdtkt.

Its more obvious signs are sweating, shaking, a pounding hearbeat or a dry mouth. But it can also come disguised as pain or physical exhaustion. Anxiety can even show up unconsciously: Abe Lincoln is said to have dreamed vividly of the circumstances of his assass- ination. if anxiety can be defined as a state of apprechension or uneasiness, it's obvious that most of us suffer from it from time to time. Getting anxious before tak ing an exam or giving a' speech is quite natural, and may even serve to key us up quite appropriately for the occasion. There are other, less obvious forms. For example, some people suffer from seemingly irrational fears of certain places or objects. These dreads may sometimes be subconsciously associated with some childhood experience. This type of anxiety usually needs professional psychiatric help in tracing the root of the problem and dealing with it. In certain forms of transient anxiety, says psychiatrist.

Find someone to talk to about the problem, someone you feel at case with and whom you trust. That person doesn't necessarily have to be a doctor. It might be a good friend, a social worker, teacher or clergyman. By the same token, some forms of anxiety can be prevented by social interaction, by taking part in group activities, says Dr, Armstrong. Hut he emphasizes that the 'joining' process should be enjoyable, No sense in opting for the local tennis club if you don't like sports, or latching on to a political group if you can't stand politics.
