Crime stopping is for everybody
Fighting crime isn't just a job
. for the police. Everyone can Join
the battle through Crime Stoppers.
The citizen -supported program
allows people to tell about crimi-
nal activity without getting direct-
ly involved. Anyone with informa-
tion can call the Crime Stoppers
number toll free 1-800-265-1777
and tip off police without giving
their name. Cash rewards of up to
$1;000 are paid for tips leading to
arrests in serious cases.
Crime Stoppers in Huron Coun-
ty is due to begin on March 14,
1988 and should be nothing but a
great success.
Crime Stoppers works, said Jeff
Sabin, Police Co -Ordinator of
Crime Stoppers of Huron County.
In other communities tips have led
to arrest of suspects in crimes in-
cluding murder, sexual assault,
robbery, burglary, assault, drug
trafficking and drug smuggling.
Crime Stoppers is a cost effec-
tive program and definitely helps
keep our streets safe. Statistics
show that for every $1. spent by
Crime Stoppers, $16.35 in stolen
property is recovered, and each case

Reycraft gets
new position
Doug Reycraft, M.P.P. for Mid-
dlesex, Chief Government Whip,
was appointed this week to the
newly formed Select Committee
on Education, art all -party commit-
tee of the Ontario Legislature.
The Committee, which is to re-,
port within a year, will be examin-
ing the role of the formal elemen-
tary and secondary school system
in the successful transition of
young students to adulthood.
"While I think we all recognize
that we have an excellent educa-
tional system in Ontario," said Re-
ycraft, "we -want to take a look at
the system as a whole to determine
that we are doing everything possi-
ble
to prepare our children for the
increasingly complex world that
awaits them."
Among other things, the Com-
mittee will consider the role the
school system plays in a multicul-
tural and multiracial society in the
choices and objectives of students
andthefactors in an information
society which influence the young
adults'- choices of educational and
training options.
The committee will- also exam-
ine the role of parents or guardians -
in the school system and the tran-
sition of young students from sec-
ondary schools to the world of
work or higher education. -
"My colleagues and I are looking
forward to consulting with the ex-
perts in these areas and bringing
forth -our recommendations to the
legislature early next year," said

nity, determine the amount of the

Spanish Award Scam
A letter postmarked from Mad-
rid, Spain arrived at the Times -
Advocate a while ago, congratulat-
ing us on our nomination for an
international award: the Grand
Prix for the Best Quality and Ser-
vice 1988. All we have to do is
to go to Spain in April to receive
it.
is there a catch, you ask?
It just so happens that the fee
for participating in the "solemn
awards ceremony" is $2,700 US. .
Of course this docs include the •
privilege of two people staying in
a five-star hotel for two nights.
One might have thought that
this organization, which charges
so much for their "awards", would
have hired the services of a good
translator for their correspondence.
Apparently this is not so. . •
The letter describing the award
' and, the presentation ccremotry
goes to' great heights td impress
on the reader of .the hohour of be-
inga nominee:
"This Award is an unique Tro-
phy with extraordinary impor--
tancc, cxccllin other ones of its
kind and impulsing in this way
still more to.maximum degree all
marketing activities of your enter-
prise refering the improvement of
already demonstrated both excel-
lent Quality and Service," reads
the letter, that is if it can be read
at all.
Realizing how impressive the
award"in BRONZE AND MAR-
BLE" would look in: our lobby,
everyone at the T -A immediately
volunteered to sacrifice the few
days in April to go to Madrid to
collect it. Because of the difficul-
ty in choosing who should go, the
ultimate decision was to allow the
award to go uncollected, even
though the letter promises that
onlya "very smallsgroup of enter-
prises" were selected for it and -we
(and our $2,700) would be sorely
missed.
Only ohe questibn remains.
Haw did this Editurin organization
get the address of the T -A? The
address on the envelope was exact,
right down to the postpl code,- all
the way from Spain. '
Final payments for grain
Ontario corn, soybean and winter
wheat growers enrolled in the 1986-
87 Ontario grain stabilization plan
will receive approximately S12.5
million in final payments through
the Farm Income Stabilization
Commission, Agriculture and Food
Minister Jack Riddell announced to-
day..
"These payments will assist farm-
ers who arc affected by low grain
prices," said Riddell. "They are in
addition to interim payments of
S11.1 million which t1'ic Ontario
government has made to date to
these growers, and to enrolled pro-
ducers of barley, oats and canola."
The stabilization account is fund-
ed one-third by the grower and two-
thirds by the Ontario Government.
Interim payments were made for
60 percent of the total number of
tonnes of each crop that prdducers
had registered in the plan. Adjust-
ment for these payments will be
made in the final payment.
The total payment is. $4.36 per
tonne for corn, S4.85 per tonne for
winter wheat, and $9.21 per tonne
for soybeans. These amounts repre-
sent two-thirds of the total declared
deficiency payment as calculated by
the federal Agricultural Stabilization
Board. The board has not yet re-
leased paymcnt informatibn for bar-
ley, oats and canola.
Final payments arc based on pro-
ducers' sales, with the marketing
boards providing this informatio,t
for soybeans and winter wheat. Pay-
ments to soybean. producers will
start at the end of February. When -
these are completed, cheques for
other producers will be issued. Corn

with sales data. These fornis will be
mailed to producers in mid-
February.
Stabilization paymcnts'arc made
when the past year's market price of
grain in the plan falls -below the
support price. The support price is
calculated by using 95 percent of
the previous five-year average mar-
ket price, with adjustments made for
:ash costs.
Growers registered in the plan for
the -1986 crop year avid eligible for a
stabilization payment had their one-
third pr,riion applied to the premi-
um for the plan in 1987. -
