Need RNs to assist The St. John Ambulance Brigade is marking its 75th anniversary in Canada. It was formed ir. London, On- ' tario in 1909. Throughout all those years, the Brigade has had the support of the medical and nursing profes- sions as advisors, teachers and examiners. The Brigade is now looking for RNs who are willing to provide a few hours of volunteer time to become Nursing Officers. Members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade must train steadily in first aid, car- dio pulmonary resuscitation, family nursing and child care. Nursing Officers help to oversee the training, and pro- vide nursing advice. Brigade units are small and friendly, and they do a real. service in augmenting a com- munity's emergency capabilities. Last year the 4,172 volunteers in the Brigade in Ontario did near- ly 600,000 public duty hours, and provided first aid treat- ment to 80,000 people at a wide variety of public events. They are also part of the emergency response pro- gram in many communities. If you can help, contact your local St. John Am- bulai.ce, or the Provincial Staff Officer (Nursing), St. John Ambulance, 46 Wellesley St. East, Toronto M4Y 1G5.

The conference, with a goal of strengthening family farm partnerships and improving the status of women in agriculture and related areas, is one of more than 30 recom- mendations included in the report. it will be held in the Constellation Hotel in Toronto. Titled "Women in Rural Life - The Changing Scene", the report is based on a study carried out across the pro- vince by Molly McGhee, former vice-principal of the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. "Rural women are today finding themselves attemp- ting to retain the values and advantages of traditional farm life -- while at the same time trying to cope with un- precedented social, technological and economic challenges and oppor- tunities," the minister said. "It was to examine these changes and their implica- tions and to document and assess the priorities and aspirations of the rural women of this province that the ministry undertook the Wrap her in smiles with a gift that tells her just how special she is...all the year long!

The minister said the report documents the frustrations and stresses of rural life to- day -- in marked contrast to the idyllic, carefree existence malty urban dwellers associate with farm life. "The rural women par- ticipating in this study were very candid about the gaaeintotbfrdttdL Hewanted challenges they and members my, husband to him out. of their families face. I i expialned tha my husband believe this study will be tremendously helpful to the government in many areas of policy formation and the set- ting of priorities," said Timbrell. Those unfamiliar with rural life in the 1900s may be sur- prised that the profile of to- day's rural woman is not unlike that of her urban counterpart. In addition to her respon- sibilities in the home and on the farm, she probably holds a paying job in the communi- ty as well. "The study documents the fact that rural women share urban dwellers' concerns over such issues as equal op- portunity for women in the workplace, penson reform and child care, and are justifiably intolerant of discrimination they face in hiring practices and in deal- ing with lending institution," the minister added. McGhee, author of the report, said the study shows that the generation gap among rural women may be even more pronounced than among women of more heavily populated areas of the province. . It also shows a new breed of farm woman has emerged. "This new group is anxious to discard the stereotype of farmer's wife and helper. They want and are willing to be regarded as equal partners in both marriage and the farm enterprise," said McGhee. Women are no longer will- ing to be relegated to an upstairs room or basement to watch a cooking demonstra- tion or fashion show while their husbands are learning about charges in tax legisla- tion, vomitoxin or embryo transplants. They are adamant that if nutritional or parenting infor- mation or advice -on stress management is important to them, it is equally important to their husbands. McGhee said that perhaps one of the most typical stories that summarized the frustra- tion- felt by many modern farm women is the following told by . a young woman who is the sole proprietor of her swine oporatfdn:' "I had asked the company to send someone to see me about...The representative arrived, saying his car had Exeter girls will conduct MS drive Members of the Exeter .

Crystal Hutchinson, who is coordinating the program in Huron County, notes that multiple sclerosis is one of the country's major health problems. "it's as high here as anywhere," she said in reference to the incidence of the disease. It strikes one out of every 500 in the general population, although young adults in the 20 to 40 age bracket are the major victims. Ms. Hutchinson, who works out of the Society's regional office in Sarnia, said she hoped area residents would be generous in their support of the CGIT project on Saturday. She also added that the Huron County unit is in need of a coordinator and anyone wishing to consider that posi- tion could reach her at the Sarnia office at 914 Murphy Road or by calling collect (519) 542-7763. Proceeds from Carnation Day support multiple sclerosis research and patient services.
