4-H in action
In the past few days, serveral minor
miracles have happened across Ontario.
Sixteen year old Jenny Lucas amazed her
brother by lighting a campfire with only
one match. Thirteen year old Randy Scott
amazed himself by speaking for ten
minutes in front of the whole school.
Serventeen year old Susan Kowalski im-
pressed her friends with photographs of
her trip to Western Canada. And twenty
year old Guy Bouchard whipped up some
terrific tacos for a group of friends.
Ontario 4-H members and leaders see
miracles like these every day. In fact,
they've been a common occurrence in 4-H
for 75 years.
4-H'ers have a wealth of opportunities
available to them. Many have been reci-
pients of . scholarships, trip exchanges
from across Canada, the United States and
to the United Kingdom. National con-
ferences, camps and workshops give
members the chance to make friends and
continually "learn by doing".
Fed1eral Minister of Agriculture., John
Wise has declared November 16 to 22 as
National 4-H Week, bringing to public at-
tention the extensive and exceptional work
of the 4-H program across Canada today.
It has been 75 years since the first 4-11
members gathered together to begin, what
has been for over three million young rural
men and women, an enriching and educa-
tional experience.
During this week, two national pro-
grams co-ordinated by the Canadian 4-H
Council will take place in Toronto. The of-
ficial 75th Anniversary of 4-H in Canada
will be launched at this time.
Frani the establishment of the first club
in Roland, Manitoba in 1913, 4-11 has
become an important stepping stone in the
personal development of young rural
Canadians in every province acros the
country.
4-H members are measured by a high
standard of excellence applied to the lear-
ning process and encompassing citizen-
ship, leadership, community involvement
and initiative. The continuing participa-
tion of thousands of youth in 4-H is one in-
dication of the success of the program. Yet
the benefits of 4-H extend well beyond the
personal fulfillment experienced. 4-H
youth make substantial contributions to
the economy and to society. Each year,
4-11 members carry out thousands of life -
skill related projects while the strong em-
phisis 4-H places on good citizenship
directly benefits their communities.
4-11 stands as a prime example of
cooperative planning and mutual support
from private and public sellrces. More
than 14,000 volunteer leaders lead 4-H pro-
grams and help members -develop and
complete their projects. From farms, cor-
porate suites, banks, schools and factories
come the volunteer leaders who are the
backbone of 4-11. Many have been involved
in 4-H since their youth. For many, 4-H is a
family tradition and a way of life.
4-H is anchored firmly in the principles
of human worth and individual ac-
complishment. These ideals enhance and
advance our society's basic values of
establishing strong .democratic institu-
tions, ecouraging private enterprise and
improving social opportunities. 4-H has
been and remains one of this country's
great success stories; forging the best of
partnerships between the public and
private sectors to stimulate and fulfill the
potential of youth.
With decades of experience, 4-H is now
primed to meet the needs of new genera-
tions who will lead Canada into its future,
as it celebrates 75 years of living the motto
"learn to do by, doing
This week; we salute the -readers,
members and organizors of the local and
regional 4-H programs.

THE RENT REVIEW GUIDELINE FOR 1988
IS 4.7 PER CENT
The rent review guideline for next year has been calculated at
4.7 per cent. This is the amount by which a landlord can increase the
maximum rent for a unit during 1988 without approval from the
Ministry of Housing. The rent for a unit can \be increased only once in
a 12 -month period.
The 4.7 per cent guideline applies to all private rental units in the
province for rent increases that take effect from January 1, 1988 to
December 31, 1988.
The 1987 guideline of 5.2tier cent continues to apply to rent increases
which take effect on or before December 31, 1987.
It is illegal for a landlord to increase the maximum rent above the
guideline without applying to the Ministry of Housing for rent review to
justify the increase. In cases where a landlord does apply for an
increase above the guideline, tenants can examine the application and
make their own submissions before a decision is reached.
For more information about the 1988 guideline; please contact your
• local rent review office listed in the Government of Ontario blue pages/
of your phone book•under the Ministry of Housing. If long distance, ask
the operator for Zenith 96000.
