One Foot int e FU1TOW Bob Trotter Farming is a dangerous occupation 1f you were to ask most people on the street what the most dangerous oc- cupation in Canada is. I'm slue most of them would say either mining or barbering: • Until just a few years ago. that guess would be correct but last year, agri- culture -- farming — was the occepation that claimed more lives than oth- er jobs although this year, because of the two tragic mining deaths at two mines in Canada. mining may again hit the dubious lop spot. Nevertheless. farming is still dangerous. What makes it even more tragic is the fact that many farm accidents involve children. These days when pressure is on farm families to cut costs, many young mothers are forced to take their toddlers with them when they help out. Fathers, sometimes acting as the care -givers because many farm mothers are working to keep the farm viable. are also faced to take the kids to the work place. In rural areas, daycare is almost non-existent. If it is available, the day- care moues are often too far away to be of much use. Which brings us around lo the Farm Safety Association Inc. This group is seeking ways to prevent farm accidents. The association is asking for ideas. linen be tough to keep toddlers out of harm's way. Economic pressures often dictate that both parents must be involved with farm work. Who bet- ter to ask than farm women? In a recent letter from the Women of the Survival of Agriculture. an ap- plication. or tauter. an idea form, was included from Farm Safety asking if you have found effective ways to keep youngsters out of karat's way. Your ideas. says the form. could prove helpful to other farm families. lb's a great idea and just in .case some of you cieading this deathless prose have not received a copy of the idea form, here is the address ,for your idea: "Toddlers", the farm Safety Association, Inc., Suite 22, 340 Wood - lawn Road W., Guelph, Ont.

BrInsIey Chicks meet BRINSLEY - On Tuesday, November 10, the "Brinsley Chieks" held their final meeting at the Brinsley United Church. President Sharon Amos opened the meeting and Tara Conlin read the secretary's report from the last meeting. The president thenasked the members to answer the roll call by naming ways to use "leftovers" from eggs - egg shells, egg cartons. Some respons- es were egg blow outs for easter, egg shells in the canon as a -plant pot and a fertilizer in the garden. Kristen Thompson, the Leader, commented that one member wouldn't be 'acknowledged for completing this club because the members must attend two-thirds of the meetings to complete the project. Jacqueline Cornetissen then read the treasurer's report. The leaders confirmed that November 17 is when our books are due and reminded the senior members that they must complete a project and have a presentation for achievement. They also requested the members have the Project Summary Sheet complete before handing the books in. Leader Carol Amos then asked the members four questions on a survey on the overall project. Youth Leader Jennifer Hodgson then began discussing her topic - micro- waves. She told us about the advantages of cooking in a microwave - saves energy, much quicker, doesn't use much heat. Hodgson also in- formed the group about the methods of cooking. They learned that you can cook scrambled eggs in two to four minutes in a microwave. She also reminded them not to cook boiled eggs in the microwave because they explode due to pressure built up. After the presentation, the group read through the meeting about the judging and coating of eggs. The leaders brought out eggs and tried egg blow outs without breaking the shell. Then, the members took a break and had a snack. The meeting was adjourned by Sharon Amos and Jennifer Hodgson who seconded the motion. Achievement night was held Tuesday, November 24 in the Brinsley United Church basement Farming fatigue prescription "It's Farming Fatigue" the doctor said "You need a holiday instead Away from the work, the mud and the rain .
