cdrycommission
sets unew policy
The Minister of Agriculture has
authorized the Canadian Dairy
Commission to announce signifi-
cant policy developments while,
at the same time, elaborating
upon the previously announced
long-term dairy policy.
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.

The grade one class enjoyed its
trip to Mait-Side Orchard. The
spraying equipment and the cold

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. )'

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.

THE HOWICK AND
TUItNBERRY FALL FAIR
The Howick and Turnberry
Fall Fair was very good, as
usual, this year. 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.

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.

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.
