Ray Vanstone
For Ray Vanstone of ?Goderich, early to
bed and early to rise is making him at least
healthy and wise.
For a summer job this year, the 16 -year-
old, six -plus footer applied ";to`the Experience
'81 Junior Agriculturalist program and was
accepted on the farm of the Joe Van Osch
family southwest of Lucknow.
Ray began his nine -week: program on June
22and, since then, his work day has begun
at 7 'a.m. and finished at . 8 p.m. But he
.enjoys his work and finds there is more to.
keep one occupied on"a farm than in a town
or. °clay '
During., his stay with. the. Van Oschs, the
grade 10' student has become a' ° new.
member 'of the family. He has done
everything.. from .milking' cows to unloading
straw, and be was nearby whenthe farm dog
had a litter of little ones.
Mr. Van Osch is pleased ' with Ray's
performance. "Anytime we've had a student
worker, it's worked out well for us," he said.
"We are fortunate to have Ray's experience
(he has helped his uncle on a farm in the
past) and his size. 1 like to give him a chance
to do everything".
Ray said this is like other jobs he has had,
picking stones and paint scraping, but
there's more physical strain.
"It takes more muscles to do the farm
work," he said. "And there 'are always hard
spots -in the day, and a dozen things to fix."
This farm is mainly a dairy operation with
1.10 head of cattle rand 300 acres of laid to
care for. The farmer must apply for a student
worker in the spring, and the student -farmer
match is made by the Ontario` Ministry of
Agriculture and :
