well. He and his wife treat the students not
as guests, but as their own children, and
they get them doing everything there is to be
done on the farm. Mr. Van Osch has never
had to regret having the younger workers
around, and he says he could even trust Paul
to milk his cows now, and do it right.
He thinks there is a difference between
city kids and country kids, but only that the
city kids are not afraid to admit they don't
know something about the farm, and are
willing to learn. They don't pretend to know
everything about farming, and they're not
afraid to ask questions.
Mr. Van Osch has gotten phone calls from
other farmers asking for references for the
first Junior Agriculturalist he hosted, from
London, so he knows that that boy kept on

working on farms after the program was
over.
Paul, too, would like to work again on a
farm next summer, maybe as a hired hand.
He will be going into grade 13 next year, and
then plans to go on to university, but he has
not yet decided whether he will consider
agriculture in his future.
Lori is also entering grade 13 in the fall,
and she says she would like to come back
and work on the Miltenburg farm again next
year. Although she would rather be a small
animal vet, the ,experience she got this
summer working with animals was invalu-
able.
The Junior Aggies worked for nine weeks,
starting on June 20, and finishing up just
last weekend.

Pension eligibility
includes spouses
A recent amendment to
the Public Service Superan-
nuation Act now permits
widows and widowers of de-
ceased Ontario government
employees or pensioners to
receive pension benefits af-
ter they remarry.
"it is our belief that a
change in the marital status
of the wife or husband should
not alter the spouse's entitle-
ment to a pension," said
Government Services Minist-
er George Ashe,
There are basically four
major provisions of the new
amendment.
First, it is retroactive for
elibility so that a spouse,
whose pension was discon-
tinued because of remarry-
ing, can apply to have it
reinstated effective July 1,
1983.
Second, in cases prior to
July 1, where pension pay-
ments had reverted to the
children because of the re-
marriage of a spouse, the
children will continue to re-
ceive the pension. The pen-
sion will be paid until they
are 18, or if they are being
educated on a full-time basis,
until they are 25.
The amendment also pro-
vides that only children of
the original pensioner will
receive a survivor's pension.
not the children resulting
from a spouse's remarraige.
Pension payments will be
reinstated effective July I',
1983. with the same inflation
adjustments as for those
whose pensions had not been
discontinued.
Mr. Ashe said that over
400 pensions could be rein-
stated under the new amend-
ment. He added that every
effort will be made to contact
those eligible for the rein -
'stated pension.
