Study on breast cancer in farm
women needs closer look: Henning

1111111111111111111111,
A recent study that suggests women
who have worked on farms are almost
three times more likely tO develop breast
cancer should be studied further.
But, one study shouldn't unduly alarm
farm women, says Dr. Beth Henning,
Huron County's medical officer of health.
"This is an interesting finding but I'd
like to look at the original work. Of
course, the biggest risk of getting breast
cancer is being female, having breasts
and being over 50 - we have to place the
risk in that context," she says.
Henning adds that women over 50
having regular mammograms have a good
chance of picking up breast cancer, before
it gets life-threatening.

memberstare waiting to hear today
(Wednesday, Oct. 18) if their
provincial body agrees with a local
resolution to continue closing
snowmobile trails this winter as an
ongoing protest of the farm income
crisis.
"This is just the beginning of
another winter of discontent for
farmers," says Nick Whyte,
president of the Huron Federation.
of Agriculture.
"Grain and oilseed farmers are in
a tighter and more difficult
.situation financially than ever and
we don't know what else to do," he
says.
The HFA passed a resolution at
its September board meeting
asking the OFA to lobby the
Ontario Federation of Snowmobile
Clubs to encourage the expansion
of last winter's trail closures as a
show of support for the farm'
income crisis until risk
management programs are
developed.
If the snowmobilers' group does
not support the trail closure, the
resolution asks OFA members to •
revoke access to their land.
-The HFA letter includes a copy of
a similar resolution from the
Glengarry Federation of
Agriculture.
"We very much don't want to
protest but as the need grows
greater and greater for risk
management protection, we have
to bring as much attention as
possible to the issue," says Whyte,
adding he hopes snowmobilers will
support farmers and voluntarily
stay off the trails.
