Family Encouragement Ms. Middleton's sister, Janice, explained the entire family was unique in that the girls were encouraged to seek a career during a time when it was not common. "We were encouraged to further our education and encouraged to have a career during a time (1960s) when others didn't have career ambitions," said Janice, who is a reporter for the Ottawa Citizen. All of the Middleton children have taken the advice offered by their parents. Sandra owns the White Carnation, Sharon is a former teacher in Toronto and Drew is an independent portfolio manager. After attending Central Huron Secondary School, Ms. Middleton continued her educa- tion at Fanshawe College, London, where she studied graphic design and then took four or five marketing courses at Ryerson in Toronto. She then got a job with a sign com- pany and was later hired on by a small advertising agency. Janice says her sister has had the qualities necessary to be a success since she was a child. "Rosanne has always been very indepen- dent. She has tried very hard at everything she has ever done." As for the qualities Ms. Middleton says one needs in order to be the head of a suc- ROSANNE MIDDLETON cessful business, she claims there are four.' "You have to have a lot of self discipline, you have to enjoy it, you have to be driven to express yourself in a way you want to and you have to have guts - it takes a lot of guts to continue." Government helps fund rental unit upgrading More than 5,000 older rental apartments in 57 municipalities will be upgraded under Ontario's Low -Rise Rehabilitation Pro- gram, Housing Minister Alvin Curling an- nounced recently. He said this was the first allocation of a total of 17,000 units that will be brought up to municipal maintenance and occupancy- standards bylaws over the next four years. In Clinton, 10 units have been allocated under the program. Part of the province's Assured Housing for Ontario strategy, the Low -Rise Rehabilitation Program involves a forgivable loan of two-thirds of the cost rehabilitating each unit, up to a maxim of $5,000 per unit. The program's aims include improving the physical condition of low-rise rental housing while retaining its market suitabili- ty for low and moderate -income tenants. It will also prevent buildings from deteriorating to the point at which they may require demolition. To qualify for the program, landlords are required to minimize disruption to tenants during rehabilitation work. "This program shows the importance we place on older low-rise apartment buildings in our province. They are a source of moderate -rental accommodation, and if they are not kept up to standard, any replacement would mean new construction and higher rents," said Curling. More than 30 per cent of rental housing in Ontario is in low-rise apartment buildings, duplexes and triplexes. More than 50 per cent of the units are at least 25 years old and many are in need of upgrading of essential services such as plumbing, wiring and heating. The 57 municipalities which have asked for assistance are signing agreements with the ministry, allowing them to administer the program. They all have proper maintenance and occupancy standards. place and have had experience in housing rehabilitation programs. In order to qualify for assistance, buildings must be less - than five storeys, contain two or more rental apartment's, and have been built before 1960. Landlords with buildings containing ten or more units may be asked to offer up to 10 per cent of the units under the Rent Supplement Program. Subsidized tenants would pay rent based on household income rather than the size or type of accommodation provided. Interim payments announced Agriculture Minister John Wise has an- nounced interim payments for the 1985 grain corn and soybean crops. Producers are facing serious income losses due to falling prices caused by a record corn crop in the United States and above-average crop yields in Canada. The price decline is also caused by a world surplus of coarse grains and the sharp reduction of USSR imports. "We know that a significant payout will be triggered under the Agricultural Stabiliza- tion Act and we want farmers to receive their payments as soon as possible to help with the expenses of putting in this year's crops", Mr. Wise said. The interim payments will total between $17 receive $5 peri tonne onsales oducers will eceto March 31, 1986. Producers who receive the interim pay- ment will have it deducted from their final payment. Virtually 100 per cent of Canada's soybean production is in Ontario where the producer marketing system provides all the necessary data for issuing the interim y Farm ponds Gravel Bailing Dragline • Trucking • Gravel, Sand & Stone • Bulldozing • Excavating • Top Soil • Septic Systems "No job k too big or too small" Res. 482-9212.

Ontario produces 70 per cent of Canada's grain corn, followed by Quebec with 20 per cent; Manitoba, Alberta and Nova Scotia produce the remainder. Ontario has a system for collecting corn marketing date and this will be the basis for making the payment to Ontario producers. In the provinces where such marketing data does not exist, departmental officials are initiating discussions with provincial government and producer representatives in an effort to generate the necessary information. "All Canadian commercial corn and soy- bean producers are eligible to benefit from the general stabilization program", Mr. Wise said. Many Quebec producers have already received an interim payment from their provincial stabilization fund. To avoid dou- ble payment, arrangements are being made with the Quebec government for their federal payment to be paid into the provin- cial fund. Quebec producers who are not members of the provincial program will be paid directly.
