Workmen's Compensation Board Chairman Michael Starr said the WCB had processed a total or ovor: 2100 claims from farm workers for lost-time injuries in 1P77. He 1A41.S speaking at the Inter- national Plowing Match at Winghlon. Mr. Starr. revealed the `NCR had paid out over $5.5 million in benefits to injured farm workers last . year. "I suggest to you that the farming industry .is far too. important to this province to permit such an accident rate and such a bill in terms of human suffering," Mr. Starr stated. He added that farmers mitst preach safety to their families and' their employees mid '"I'hey must .practice what they preach." • 12 THE BRUSSELS POST •-QQTOBER 4, 1978•`- Ontario has its own. Ogncuituedl museum ( • • The province of Ontario is planning to make the Ontario, Agricultural Museum near Milton the permanent borne for the tools, implements and artifacts associated with agriculture in ou-r province. The 92 acre site, in the Halton region, follows the growth or agriculture in the province froth the early settlers, to the contemporary 'period. The exhibit hall, now open year round, houses the main theme exhibits such as the history of the application of power to farming. the barn, the rural telephone system, and, early farm kitchen and A 1920 veterinarian's office, A collection of historic agricultural equipments from tractors to threshing mach- ines pre hotiscd 11,1 several' display buildings around the site, including a rebuilt Halton end-drive barn and a rare octagonal barn. But. One of the most eseiting concepts of .'the musenni is the historic farm- stead park which will eventually contain six farm- steads, reflecting phases of agricultural development from the carly 1800's to the present. Also.. two additional farm- steads will be set aside for future devt:lopment and someday may represent farming in the years 2001) and 2050. Right now, workers at the museum are completing the final ,touches on the first farmstead. - an • 1830 log cabin, a large log barn and a sheep. pen, ' The second farmstead • which will be built is the 1865 homestead where the house and two barns are waiting now, for sonic last minute work, 'Another interesting addition to the site planned for the 'future is the cross- roads community, which will feature the stores, anti:busi- nesses that once .served most rural communities. in the province, There will • be a blacksmith's shop, sawmill, shingle mill, cider mill and apple butter'-plant, a general store, school, and church as well as a building devoted to the history of the •Women",S Institute in the province. Although the major part of the collection - of ;a ntique' equipment now housed in the mitsetim were purehaSed from C'harles Matthews in 1065. the museum now depends on gifts to enlarge their collection. Last week. the museum's display at the International Plowing Match featured an advt.‘rt isemelit for farm implements, wl i,setin1 staff hope someone will clonal e to add to their .collection, Among the farm equip- men" the museum needs is any equipment carrying the following manufacturers names; . Maxwell, .Harris.,. Fleury, .Bissell, Percival and Tolton, Also, the museum staff are looking for hoe:keeping equipment, oral:10'0,rd, Beatty, and Canadian motor windmills, a Palermo plow, manufactured in the town of the same name and agricultural books, magazines and machinery, manuals for the museum's reference collection, Anyone who is able to .donate an artifact to the collection will be rewarded by seeing their name on the item when It's displayed in the museum. The Ontario Agricultural Museum is designed 'to provide a permanent home for the machines, tools, furnishings and buildings which 'reflected the rural way of life in the ,province,, in ,a period of increasing mechanization, the museum will be a. showplace .where the younger generations can discover the way their grand- parents, and great grand- parents farmed during an earlier age.
