Jr. farmer
to Manitoba
At the Annual March Conference of the
Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario,
Robert Hunking, RR 1 Auburn, a member
of the Clinton and District and Huron
County Junior Farmers was selected to go
on an exchange to Manitoba. Craig Steven,
Lambton County and Leslie Knox, Victoria
County, were also selected for the trip.
The two week trip is from July 16-30.
While in Manitoba the delegates will be
hosted by members of Manitoba Rural
Youth.
The delegates no doubt will experience
some good old western hospitality as they
are shown the attractions of Manitoba. The
exchanges of viewpoints, ideas, ex-
periences and knowledge will benefit both
delegates and hosts.
The Manitoba exchange, as are other
Junior Farmer interprovincial and inter-
national trips, are sponsored by the Junior
Farmers' Association of Ontario and
various Agri -Businesses. The Manitoba
trip is co-sponsored by CHEMAGRO of
Mississauga.
Inspection fees
to increase
Ontario Hydro's electrical inspection
fees will be increased by 10 per cent star-
ting October 1, 1988. The increase is the
first in three years.
"Fees for our electrical inspection ser-
vice have not been raised since January,
1985," said Hydro's Manager of Electrical
Inspection, Jack Dicker. "Hydro has been
able to postpone fee increases since then
because of improved productivity. The 10
per cent increase this year will allow us to
improve service and meet rising costs due
to inflation."
The new fees affect inspections for all
residential, commercial and industrial in-
stallations. The cost to inspect a typical
single family residence will go up about
$6.00 to $78.00 under the new fee structure.
"Inspections are required under the
Electrical Safety Code for all work on elec-
trical installations," Dicker said. "Inspec-
tion is necessary to ensure the safety of the
public and the proper operation of elec-
trical equipment."

As of the third week of July, both of
O.M.A.F.'s Summer Experience Pro-
grams for youths ages 15 to 24, the Junior
Agriculturalist and the Agricrew pro-
grams, seem to be operating fairly
smoothly. Currently, there are six of the
original ten Jr. Ag.'s still on Bruce County
farms. Those remaining seem like a stur-
dy lot, with those leaving having various
reasons.
The Bruce County Agricrew 1 rogram
still has two crews keening busy on farms
in the area. At the moment, the crews are
fully booked for the duration of their term
but farmers may still put their names on
the waiting list as some cancellations do
occur. It is still possible for students to ap-
ply, especially those with a driver's license -
and access to a vehicle. Both farmers and
students may call 881-3671 for more

16 To Be
As Sweet.
So they took the time to talk with Cindy about drugs.
They realize that in today's world she has probably already been
approached by someone attempting to lure her to start using
uppers or maybe something even more dangerous.
They told Cindy what drugs can do and how they can affect her
future chances of having a productive life.
Now she can make the right decision if she's ever confronted
with it.
So why wait until tomorrow to talk to your children.
Talk with them today.
