Rep- - Federated Wis address issues The Mission Statement of the FcderateAl Women's Institutes of On- tario encourages the members to take a public stand on the broader issues of thc day through resolu- tions and briefs. The 23,00( Worn— en's Institute members in Ontario come from a diversity of back- grounds, therefore their resolutions cover a wide range of topics. Not all concerns arc addressed by a resolu- tion, from Federated Women's Insti- tute as a whole, if the issue is deemed to be a local or regional is- sue, -the local or regional branches will deal with it and sometimes let- ter writing by the members is more effective. Some of the resolutions that were passed at the last board meeting in- clude - Opposition to the closing of ru- ral post offices. - Makc it mandatory that alt_vchi- cies sold in Canada by 1989 .Ile equipped with rear three point scat belts. • - that where it proves of benefit to the patient, that OHIP cover the cost of the new and improved fibre- glass cast instead of the plaster cast. - that the Ministry of Revenue for Ontario review thc legitimacy of the retail sales tax on Federal Services. - that the Department of Consu- - mer and Corporate Affairs pass and enforce laws to prohibit the show- ing of war adventure cartoons on television, and the manufacturing, importing and advertising of mili- tary toys. In the Third World, 90 perccnt of the farm work is carried out by women, therefore the ratioof stu- dents coming to Canada from Third World countries to study agriculture under the CIDA programme be ai least 50 percent male to female. - That more information tic avail- able to parents and children to the possible damaging effects of game: such as Dungeons and Dragons. - That the Community Health Programs Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health extend their mandate to service all disabled peo- ple, regardless of age. - That the Projects lift type of service be available not only for those in the city areas, but to the disabled in the rural areas as well. - That all immigrants intending to come to Canada be screened to sec if they are carriers of AIDS. That all Women's Institute branches urge their respective Coun- cils to investigate, instigate and im- plement a program of recycling of. glass, newspapers and tin. - That "irradiated" be printed on all foods that have undergone the ir- radiation process. - That house workers whether male or female be included in the Canada Pension,Plan.

In 1987, Women for Support of Agriculture through a survey con- ducted in four counties, established that there is a need for rural child care programs in Oxford, Perth, Middlesex and Elgin Counties. To assist groups interested in establish- ing a rural child care pi-6gram in their arca, WSA with the assis- tance of a grant from Secretary of State has hired a community devel- opment worker. Seminar partici- pants, interested in rural child care, will hear how they can get in- volved in this important communi- ty development project. Very often, farm women take life so seriously as they cope with the every day stresses of being a moth- er, wifc and career woman. Super- women Productions will help us to look on the lighter side as they perform sketches from a "day in the Life of a Farm Wife". Perth County natives Carol Oriold of Wroxeter and Helene Dunbar of Listowel will be sure to entertain women you with their funny, heartwarm- ing vignettes which will "hit close to home". This performance will be a sneak -preview of what will be presented at the Huron Country Playhouse this coming July. This is the sixth annual seminar sponsored by Womcn for the Sup- port of Agriculture, Southwestern Region, a representative group of farm women from Elgin, Middles- ex, Pcrth and Oxford Counties. By sponsoring seminars such as New Frontiers for Farm Women '88, Women for Support of Agriculture are providing a forum for women to communicate with one another and to develop leadership skills. They arc also helping rural wom- en learn more about issues affect- ing agriculture, enabling them to deal with the challenges they face in the changing rural scene.
