ability to work with people in all
walks of life would be the type of
person hired as a teaching
homemaker,
The initial salary would depend
on past experience and education
and would have to be in line with
the present salary range for field
workers. Should a teaching
homemaker be hired, the salary
and all expenses in connection
with the work would be
subsidized by the Province of
Ontario by 80 percent. John
'Tinney, chairman of the board of
management at Huronview,
announced that June 15 to 21 is
Senior Citizens' Week. Once

are invited to Huronview to take
part in the special events being
planned for the week for residents
there.

Agri-notes
All those cents add up
With Adrian Vos
One wonders' what it takes to
convince some well educated
people that tnere are only one
'hundred cents in a dollar. They
say: "It's only a cent," and they
go on spending one cent after the
other, Only when they are down
to the last two-bits they begin to
wonder where the dollar went.
Ontario's Environment
Ministry does our spending that
way. When confronted with
protests over sewage lagoons,
which are at least one hundred
acres each, they stated that a
hundred acres is insignificant
compared with what agricultural.
land is left. There is a difference
with the people who are spending
that dollar. When agricultural
land is down to "two-bits" it will
be a different Minister to count
the pennies.

Some people are concerned
about the introduction of the
metric system. Don't be afraid.
When you need a four inch nail,
you'll still ask the store fora four
inch nail. It will be 10 centimeter
long but for you it is still a four
inch nail. You need some two by
fours. They'll still be the same
size and the same name.
Remember they aren't 2 x 4 now
either.
Instead of a gallon you get 4
litres. The li tre is close enough to
the quart that in the majority of
cases you can say litre and mean
quart. A yard is close to the
metre.
Length measuring will be one
of the easiest to adjust to because
of it's similarity to the dollar
system. 2.25 metre is much like
$2.25.
The opposition comes mainly
from people who are afraid of
change, afraid of something new
and they are often older people. I
haven't heard opposition from
younger people because more
younger than older people are
ready to adopt something new.

Grain stocks here and in the
buying countries are low. Yet the
buyers are slow in their purchases
and are taking a gamble that
prices will be low and crops good.
This of course keeps prices down.
If the crops are not good however,
their gamble may be a costly one.
The Russians apparently won't
take that gamble and their trade
missions are in the U.S. now for
negotiations with grain dealers If
they make a big deal the price will
increase t"o, and the reluctant
gamblers will have lost.

There is a real possibility that a
teaching homemaker will b e
engaged in Huron County under
' the direction of the Social'
Services Committee.
Committee Chairman Ervin
Sillery said the three main duties
of a teaching homemaker would
be to supervise the individual
homemakers hired by the Social
Services Committee on a contract
basis; to be available for
homemaking on an emergency
basis (for example nights and
weekends); and to • carry a
homemaking caseload similar to
the regular field workers from
Social Services, specifically to
work with housewives and
1 mothers in need of advice
concerning household budgets
I and nutrition and child care.
"In SoMe cases more is
required than just a hand-out of
Money," Mr. Sillery's report. ; stated. "A teaching homem aker

quality of life for persons
receiving long term assistance by
teaching budgeting, shopping
skills, meal planning, etc, This
