"A lot of you are going to get your beans off anyway," he -told the farmers. Meanwhile, McCowan, who holds little hope of harvesting his beans this year, told the minister the problems with the farming industry go much deeper than this year's bad weather. SPECIAL 0 "Back in 1977 we had a similar mess, but it didn't hurt us as much because we were strong as an industry. ,We've got to work at getting to the root of the pro- blem, which is not the weather but the strength. of the industry," McCowan said. Mi dwifery support group to. make hearing presentation The Midwestern Midwifery Support Group, an organization formed to lobby for the implementation of . midwifery in On- tario, will make a presentation to a hear- ing board on the iksue tomorrow (October 16) in London. According to Jean choebl of RR 5 Lucknow, a member of he support group who is employed at the. inecrest Manor Nursing Home in Luckno , said a delega- tion from the group will meet with the Task Force of the Implem ntation of Mid- wifery, a committee which will recom- mend ways of establishing the practice in Ontario. In their presentation, Mrs. Schoebl said the major issue in midwifery is for it to be a self-governing profession •with the mid- wife as an independant primary care -giver during a' woman's pregnancy. The support group will also recommend that there be a direct entry option to a bachelor's degree in midwifery., "We hope this will lead to continuous, personalized care, promoting informed choice and parent education,", said Mrs. Schoebl, who received training as a mid- wife in her native England. The hearings, which started in .Toronto on dctober 6, came into being after On- tario Health Minister Murray Elston an- nounced last January that the province would legalize midwifery. British Colum- • .bia has sincelegalized the practice as well. Mrs. Schoebl said midwifery is based on child birth being a normal physiological functions not requiring the, often de- humanizing obstetrical care in hospitals. Midwifery, in most other parts of the world is a recognized profession and an essential part of health care: "The midwife gives continuous care and support throughout the whole spectrum of pregnancy. The family is encouraged to recognize their own strengths," she. said. She said midwives in Ontario will work "interdependantly" with the physicians. If a problem develops during the pregnancy, the midwife will recognize the problem and refer the women to a specialist. The Midwestern Midwifery support group is an outgrowth of "Women Being Well" an area women's support group. Both groups are associated . withhe Women Today organization which is based in Clinton, said Mrs. Schoebl. 10 Special Days Of.
