• Agriculture and Food Minister
sill Newman has -- announced
details of the employment
program to provide work for
thousands of people in rural Ont
aria, with special emphasis on
summer jobs for students.
Mr. Newman said the
programs are in keeping with the
aims expressed in the Throne
speech of March 29 to ensure full
opportunity for the people 'of
Ontario by expanding the job-
creating sectors of the. Ontario
economy.
A $10 million Ontario y outh
employment program includes $1
million to help hire harvest
workers; From May 30 to Sept.
16, farmers are eligible for
monthly grants equal to $1 per
hour to employ up to six
harvesters aged 15 to 24. Details
and application forms are
available at local Canada
Manpower Centres.
Rural countryside improvement
is a $3.1 million program that will
employ 1,360 people, many of
them students. Rural munici-
palities will use the money to
employ the unemployed on new'
projects such as improving the
appearance of fairgrounds,
garbage landfill sites, cemeteries
and' municipal parks. Other
undertakings might include:
— Removing weeds and eroded
soil that could clog streams ,
ditches or municipal drains.
— Cleaning out abandoned
orchards, and removing dead
or diseased trees • from both
private and public land; -
— Removing old, unused farm
buildings;
— Erecting (but not buying)
-fences to keep livestock in
pastures;
— Installing tile drainage outlets
supplied 'by farm9rs to empty
into municipal ditches;
— Planting trees as windbreaks.
Projects are to be
recommended by committees re-
presenting the local agricultural
committees, provincial
agricultural offices and farm
organizations.
Forest stand improvement will
employ, 256 people in Crown
forests. This program tradition-
ally has been an important source
of supplementary income for rural
people, It also increases the forest
potential for timber 'production,
wildlife and recreation, This
year's P300,000 allocation i5
shared 50.50 with the federal
government.
Provincial parks improvement
is a similar program,' except that
the work crews clean up
provincial parks rather than
forests. The program will create
about 156 jobs.
Tile drainage work has stepped
up since the province increased
this year's $18 million allocation
to. $20 million so municipalities
can provide low-cost loans to
farmers for field drainage
installations. . The additional
funds will create an estimated 130
jobs.
The Ministry of Agriculture
and Food runs several other
job-creating programs through its
local offices:'
Class 1 - Most improved farm-'
stead and entrance.
Class 2 - Most improved rural
dwelling and grounds.
Class 3 - Most improved urban
dwelling and grounds.
Worthy entries will share in the
prize money that is now being ob-
tained through grants from each
local municipality. There will be
