(James Fitzgerald photo) Women on farms ,. told to get involved It all began six years ago when five farm women met around a`kitchen table over a cup of coffee to discuss com- mon concerns. Today, Women for Sur- vival in Agriculture is a na- tional movement with members in every province. And it's living proof that women can become suc- cessfully involved in their communities, founder Diane Harkin told a group of farm women at a day -long con- ference on August 29 at Cen- tralia College of Agricultural Technology. The movement was found- ed at Winchester in Eastern Ontario in 1975 to raise the status of farm women. Last December, the first national conference was held in Ot- tawa. Partly as a result of its ef- forts, the federal govern- ment now allows farm women to declare up to $5,000 each as income from the family business. Until recently, farmers and their children were allowed to declare income from the farm, but not wives, she said. Farm women now are also allowed to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan, she said, and a film company is currently producing a documentary about Cana- dian farm women. Harkin, a member of the federal advisory committee on the status of women, said women are a driving force in society, a force that demands and requires more recognition. They are the backbone of the farm, their community and the nation. But because of negative con- ditioning they are often reluctant to assert themselves. "A farm woman is a pro - Blyth has summer workshops fessional career woman," she told about 100 ap- plauding supporters. In addi- tion to her duties as wife and mother, she must be a han- dywoman, milking expert, food producer, tractor operator and geneticist, Harkin said. "And she does all this for three -and -a -half per day - ,. three meals and half the bed." Harkin said women have great potential for leader- ship and she urged her au- dience to become more in- volved in their communities and in politics. The quicker more women become involv- ed, the sooner an equitable society will be created, she said. The conference was jointly sponsored by Centralia Col- lege and Conestoga College of Applied Arts .and Technology in Kitchener to bring together women from rural areas to discuss com- mon concerns. Carolyn Madill, a counsellor with Woman Power in London, said the average woman works for 33 years. But most still think of working as a temporary situation and are not choosy when it comes to getting jobs. "Generally, women don't look at the future." Madill said there are more than 10,000 different jobs in Canada but one-third of all working women are concen- trated in seven - nursing, teaching, secretarial, waitressing, cleaning, sales and bookkeeping. Women earn 62 percent of the salaries of men, she said. She blamed society's traditional view of women and lack of adequate career counselling for females in schools as partly responsi- ble. Women are also at fault because they have a poor view of themselves, she said. Theatre for children Besides providing en- joyable live theatre for adults, the Blyth Summer Festival has been providing a valuable learning , ex- perience for area youngsters over the past four years through children's theatre REPAIR A the Auxiliary sale Where the penny still counts • The Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital met September 8 when Ruth Bond presided and, read an article about enthusiasm encouraging volunteers to go further than the Second Mile. • In keeping with the message, Lina Cochrane volunteered to be recording secretary until December. Note was made, of the Regional Conference to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Guelph September 28th. Pauline McGibbon will be the guest speaker. The Hospital Auxiliaries Association Convention will be held in Toronto at the Royal York Hotel from November 29th through to December 2nd. Of special interest to this community is the election of Peggy Menzies to the office of Ontario President of the Association. Donna Wood will serve as her secretary. Ruth Bond reported from the Clinton Hospital Board meeting that,Dawna Westlake is now Cairman of the finance committee to the Board, having been elected at the annual meeting in June. Doctor Steed has commenced practice in offices in the former nurses' residence on Shipley Street, and an outpatient psychiatric clinic will be opening in the same residence October lst. As auxiliary represen- tative to the Hospital Building Fund Dawna Westlake said the total funds required from public sub- scription is $353,000 of which $175,000 • must be raised before tenders can be called. About 00,000 has been realized to date in the form of donations from in- dividuals and service clubs. Ruth Bond related tt)e story of a particular jerseiy cow, a recent acquisition to her father's herd. Being new and different from the rest, she was difficult to bring in at milking time. It became neeessaly to take a special. trip into the field just to bring her in. It did not matter how she was brought in - even a shoe lace around her neck would do.,When she got in she surely gave, none of your two percent stuff, but good jersey milk. So fellow auxilians, it's time to go out into the field. GET THE SHOE L,ACE OUT! Esther Wright, vice- president and awards chairman named this year's award winners.

"The crowds got better and better this year with each performance and the children were hard working and enthusiastic. They all show promise." This year's workshop was called Second Stage. It ran for eight weeks under the leadership of Leslie Anne Bentley and Marni Walsh who will each be entering their third year as theatre performance students at York University in the fall. Marni, who was raised three miles north of Blyth, has worked at the Festival for four summers now, serving in past years as a production assistant and assistant stage manager. A total of 60 area youth took the children's workshop (partly funded by Experience '81) at Blyth this summer. They were divided into three groups according to their ages and performed puppet shows, black box theatre and street mime as well as staging several major productions, some of which they wrote them- selves. Last weekened, they performed a play for The Tree House, a television program shown on a Kit- chener itchener station. The children rehearsed in a building next door to the Blyth Memorial Hall and borrowed costumes and props from the Festival as needed. Leslie Anne says she hopes the children's workshops will continue at Blyth.
