Couples attend UCOmeet
A practical approach to
farming and leadership was
emphasized at the Young
Couples' Conference
organized by United Co-
operatives of Ontario
(UCO).
Nineteen farm couples
from across Ontario
representing all areas of
agriculture were involved in
the three day program held
July 15-17 at Muskoka Sands
Inn, Gravenhurst.
"The session acts as a
two-way communication
tool for both the couples and
UCO," says Reg Cressman,
director of public relations
and co-ordinator of the
three-year-old program.
"Not only do we provide
them with the opportunity to
learn more about agri-
business and the Co-op, but it
also gives UCO a direct line
to their concerns and re-
quirements. And, in turn, it
allows the Co-op to an-
ticipate their needs.
"Many of these people will
be the community decision
makers of tomorrow and it
is therefore important for us
to not only help them
prepare for this but to an-
ticipate their goals and ob-
jectives."
Because of tough
economic conditions, these
young farmers wanted infor-
mation they could apply to
their day-to-day farm and
family activities. In keeping
with this, UCO resource
staff conducted sessions on
community involvement;
personal needs identification
and goal setting; history of
agricultural co-operatives;
and the scope and impact of
UCO's present retail,
manufacturing and
marketing services.
Conference resource peo-
ple were: Bob Down, UCO
first vice-president who
chaired; Keith McCleary,
Central Region manager;
Bob Bethune, director, cor-
porate planning and
organizational development
and assistant corporate
secretary; and Reg
Cressman. Keynote speaker
was Don Huff, Vice-
president, farm products
marketing; He presented an
historical overview of the
dairy, poultry, livestock, and
grain marketing areas of
UCQ.
The participants, most of
whom are currently active
in their local _ community,
church and agricultural
organizations shared their
outlooks and viewpoints con-
cerning their needs as
husbands, wives, couples,
and on a larger scope as
farmers both with each
other and representatives of
UCO.
Three couples - Gerard and
Lucienne Giroux of Warren;
Bill and Joyce Yates of
Beaverton; and Duncan and
Ruth Hough of Napanee -
were chosen by participants
to act as advisors in the
organization of next year's
Conference. They will assist

(IDRC) - Up to a quarter
of the 40 million children
vaccinated against measles
this year will actually have
no protection because the
vaccine they will get will be
"dead" -- destroyed by heat
or sunlight.
The problem of deter-
iorating medicines is espe-
cially acute in developing
countries, where there may
be no refrigerated storage
available. In fact, the
World Health Organization
has called the difficulties of
keeping vaccines safe and
effective "the greatest
stumbling blocks to
successful immunization."

been no adequate way for a

tell whether a vaccine is
still potent.
Now Canada's Inter-
national Development
Research Centre has joined
with American and British
agencies to test a simple
time -temperature indicator
that can signal a health
worker when a vaccine
should be discarded.
The indicator, a tiny
adhesive tab that can be
attached to the glass
vaccine vial, undergoes a
sharp change in colour
when exposed to heat long
enough to have inactivated
the vaccine to which it is
attached. The principle is
similar to children's fever
strip thermometers now
popular in Canada.
