Let us keep the warmth of Christmas, holding it close to our hearts, for this is the time of His birth. Pryde Monuments Ltd. 293 Main St., S. Exeter 2620 MPP HURON -MIDDLESEX The year 1988 is shaping up to be a special one for Ontario's agricul- ture and food community. On January 1, 198&, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will begin celebrating its 100th anniversary -- and we are planning a number of special events to underline the achievements in the agri-food sector during the past century. During the year, we will high- light the economic and social role the agricultural and food industry continues to play in the province. The agri-food sector is a $15 bil- lion industry that employs one in five ONTARIANS. Ontario's 73,000 farms export close to $2 bil- lion of food and agricultural prod- ucts annually as well as supply a hungry domestic market. Today, one farmer feeds more than 90 people. At the turn of the centu- ry, one farmer produced food for 12 people. That is a remarkable increase in efficiency and it's a tribute to the people of Ontario. It has taken a lot of research and development, plan- ning, technical advances, quality and health controls, and hard work to make that type of gain in efficien- cy. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food has played an important role in these advances through research, technical advice, education, market- ing assistance, establishing quality standards, and financial incentives. Education funding Huron County Board of Education has been awarded funding by the Ministry of Education for a project aimed at reducing the dropout rate from ichoof. As part of a $600,000 allocation awarded to 12 different projects, Minister of Education hack i 0tfif><g3 Farm efficiency Chris Ward cited Huron as eligible for S50,000 for their project which is designed to meet the individual needs of high-risk students by pro- viding links with various agencies., local business and industry, and al- tcrnative. programming. I am pleased with these initiatives to assist boards in lowering the dropout rate across the province by stimulating students' interest in school and increasing their desire to complete their studies. Huron County should be proud to have been chosen out of a total of 75 submissions which the Education Ministry received in connection with the Student Retention and Transition Project. Grant to Riding I have recently been notified by my colleague Minister of Housing Chaviva Hosek that the town of Clinton will be receiving a grant of $154,000 under the Retirement Community Demonstration Project program to assist in covering costs of providing "hard services" such as roads or sewers for a new senior cit- izen's retirement centre in the north end of town. " 100 years young Help us celebrate 1988! Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food is 100 years young! Lots of accomplishments, lots of chang- es! 1988 is a year to honour signifi- cant achievements in the agricultu- ral industry and to increase Ontario's awareness of the bertefits the agri- cultural and food industry has had on the economic and social life of this province. We would like to kickoff the year by honouring the new Year's baby in each of the five county hospitals as one of our events. We would also like to invite you to the Clinton O.M.A.F. office dur- ing the week of January 4-8 for a celebration. Cake and hot cider will be served. Everyone is welcome!
