Effective immediately, an ex- port '.equalization fund for dairy Products has been established by the government. The levy rate established under the fund will be 65 cents per hundred pounds of milk effective October 1, 1975, a reduction of 25 cents from the previous level. There will be a refund to pro- ducers on deliveries made during the period of July 1 to September 30, 1975. This refund will amount to 25 cents per hundr °ed pounds of milk, or 7.14 cents per pound of butterfat, on all in -quota de- liveries to which the earlier 90 cents rate applied. The Government has agreed to a five-year averaging approach to the financing of losses on ex- port sales of dairy products. The export equalization fund will be administered by the Cana- dian Dairy Commission. It is de- signed to prevent sharp varia- tions in levy rates collected from producers while, at the same time, generating sufficient revenue to meet the total loss on export s es of .A iry products over the next five-year period. The levy rate yvill be reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted an- nually to reflect 9hianges i.t in- ventory and in the international market conditions for dairy pro- ducts. The rate will be set at a level which is expected to ensure the fund does not, at year-end, show a deficit or surplus of more than $40 million. In the administration of the fund, interest will be charged on loans from the government, and interest will be paid on surplus in the account. The dairy policy announced on March 27, provided for an in- crease to 100 million cwt, or five per cent in deliveries of manu- facturing milk on which a subsidy of $2.66 would be paid. Present indications are that production this year will be in excess of this amount. This could require a change in the method of subsidy payti> ent by the Dairy Com- mission to ensure uniform pay- ment to all producers. Deliveries of milk during the 1975-76 dairy year are expected to be in the order of 102.5 million cwt, and the Commission stated that further action will need to be taken to reduce the Market Shar- ing Quota for 1976-77 in order to prevent unwarranted surpluses accumulating. THE WINGHAM BRANCH of the Canadian Legion feted 43 war veterans from the Westminster Hospital in London last Wednesday and they did it in style. Head table guests were: Mrs. George Currie, Mrs. Ethel President Dave Hynes, Mrs. Olive and Mrs. Elly Elston. iNGLIS FARM DRAI NAGE Quality Installation Clay or Plastic Free Estimates PHONE: 392-6700 R.R. 3 Walkerton firWrIFIWYPIPPIWIFIFPIrrirrIF Guaranteed Investment Certificates Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation WC7VR1A.nd VG TRUST COMPANY SINCE tees Mein St. East, Listowel, Ont.

The boys' team The students at Turnberry Central School have been ac- tively enjoying the products and events that the fall season brings. Class trips, classroom activities and special visitors to the school have been found most interesting this week. 0-0-0 The grade one class enjoyed its trip to Mait-Side Orchard. The spraying equipment and the cold storage area were very interest- ing. The apple cider they were given was a new taste experience for many of them. 0-0-0 The Kindergarten classes have been talking about Thanksgiving. They learned this little verse: I'm thankful .for my hands; with them I work each day. I'm thankful for my feet; with them I run and play. I'm thankful for my eyes to see. I'm thankful God for all of me. They made apple sauce from nice red apples and they each made a pumpkin pie. (They didn't have to worry about the pie burning in the oven because it was made of paper. )' 0-0-0 Jamie Heffer and Tracey Day, grade three, have written the following repekt of a special visitor to theirssroom. On Wednesday, October 8, Mr. De Bruyn from Burke's Electric came to Turnberry Central. He showed us his truck, his belts and all his tools. He put on his climbers that he climbs poles with. He showed us his bender. He plugged it in and pushed a button and the bars started to bend. He showed us the other bender for smaller pipes. He showed us all different wires, his different screwdrivers, a big fuse, his overalls and his hard hat. We got to put on his rubber gloves. He demonstrated hoW a special gun shoots screws into cement and steel, and how he gets into brick walls with a special drill. We asked him what tools he used_the most and he said the ones that were in his tool pouch on his belt. We enjoyed it very much and we thanked him for coming. 0-0-0 As part of the Grade 5 celebra- tion of Thanksgiving we wrote a cinquain about a popular Thanks- giving symbol.

Fortunately, Saturday, the 4th was warm and sunny. There was a good crowd at the fair this year and many of the people were from Turnberry. Turnberry Central was well re- presented with school articles, vegetables, fruits, baking and handicrafts. We won a fair por- tion of the prizes, but had strong competition from Howick, who also had their goodly share of the awards. This year, Mrs. Wade's trophy was awarded to Debbie Sjaarda, a Grade 8 student here at T.C.S. Her first -prize essay on "I Won A. Million" brought her this honor. She will keep the trophy for a year and will have her name inscribed on it. Turnberry also had 4-H'ers at this annual event showing 4-H calves and horses. Congratulations to both Howick and Turnberry on another suc- cessful fair. 0-0-0 CANADIAN BRASS On Oct. 8, 40 students from our school rode the bus to Clinton, where they attended a concert put on by "Canadian Brass" at the Clinton Secondary School. The band composed of five men, played all kinds of songs, both old-fashioned and new, including "The Entertainer". We all en- joyed this concert and thought it was definitely worthwhile. 0-0-0 ' i WATERING THE TRESS This past week, each member of the Grade eight class watered the tree that each had adopted in the arboretum.

WINGHAM YOUR WINGHAM PHARMACIST ONTARIO If you are employed and going to have a babel, you're entitled to pregnancy leave. This is what Ontario is doing to make certain you receive it. We have a law in Ontario which permits any pregnant woman, married or not, to take a 17 -week unpaid leave of absence to have her baby. This law covers part-time as well as full-time employees, provided that they have,peen working for the same employer for at least 63 weeks before the expected date of birth. When she returns to work, the new mother is guaranteed the right to her former position or to a comparable position with no loss of seniority or benefits. Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an employee from being dismissed for valid reasons noconnected with pregnancy, but pregnancy alone cannot be the cause of dismissal where an employee is eligible for leave. An expectant mother is required to give two weeks' notice in writing of the day she intends to leave. She is entitled to begin her leave any time within 11 weeks before the baby's birth but she must take at least six weeks of her leave afterwards. If the em- ployer wishes the employee to begin her leave before she wants to do so, the em- ployer must piove that she is unable to perform her normal duties adequately. The employee is eligible for Unemploy- ment Insurance benefits during her preg- nancy leave (even if she does not intend to resume work when her leave expires) if she had at least 20 weeks' of ensured employ- ment during the year before the birth. At least ten of the 20 weeks should have fallen between the 30th and the 50th weeks before the birth. If you would like more information about pregnancy leave or other labour legislation of interest to working women, write to: Ontario 20, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario. and we will send you a brochure.
