Budget' leaves no doubt that this'. government still does not recognize the importance of the farm sector to the On- tario economy or the substantial contribution of the farming community. At a time when farmers need meaningful financial programs to help stave off bankruptcy, this budget does nothing to assist their sur-. vivaL Ontario farm bankruptcies are increasing dramatically. Last year 140 farmers . declared bankruptcy,' the highest in all of Canada. Farm bankruptcies in the first four months of 1982 equal the total number 'of bankruptcies for the entire year of 1979. Realized net farm incomes next year are forecast to decline 23.5 per cent in Ontario. • Yet this budget will offer the farmers $14 million less than last year. The increase in tile drainage loans by $6 million is still about 40 per cent less than is needed to meet the demand. Moreover, any benefits are wiped out by the fact that the interest rates on the loans have been, increased from eight to ten per cent; only 60 per cent of total drainage work costs will be covered, down from 75 per cent; and when the principal and interest repayments from previous loans are considered, the new money actually destined for the program may only amount to $10-$12 million. The $5 million offered to farmers to improve their farmstead is the last thing that a farmer struggling to survive without the funds to plant this year's crop is thinking of. It is a cruel joke. .Jack Riddell The long-awaited young • farmers program, which we in the Liberal Party have been demanding for years now, is mentioned but only . offers hope for the future. We need a low interest long- term provincial loan pro- gram to encourage young farmers to get into farming now. The Ontario Veterinary . College, the Only one of its kind -in Ontario, is presently in danger, of losing its ac- ,,, creditation and possibly its license to teach because of lack of government financial assistance. Yet there is no commitment in this budget for funds to assure its sur- vival. The measures contained in this budget will do nothing to help Ontario farmers finance the large amount of capital requirements needed to operate their farms. What is desperately required is a low interest subsidy pro- gram at affordable rates for consolidated farm debt. The agriculture industry outlook for this year is cause for alarm. Measures con- tained in this budget will do nothing to change that forecast. GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE CONTINUES EVERYTHING IN THE STORE AT COST DOMINION HARDWARE 31 Vizioria 5t.

These efforts range from individual professional persons to various organizations. In Ontario, for example, there are nearly 60 organizations which are active in this field. The Smoking Control activities started in the 60's and more prominently in the 70's in the United States by various individuals as well as groups. During the 60's, the purpose was exploratory as well as research. Some of the conclusions were: 1. It was possible to help people to control their smoking. 2. The rate of success varied from group to group, but on the average it was between 40 and 60 percent. 3. A significant number of people suffered from with- drawal symptoms, had some other problems and had to start smoking again. Some of the techniques used in the United States' experiments were clinical hypnosis, group therapy and chemotherapy. Canada . started these activities in the 1970's and there were two types of organizations. It was either an individual who used clinical hypnosis or organizations like Y.M.C.A. Seventh Day Adventist and others who used a mixture of techniques. There are only two hospitals in Ontario which have a smoking control program, namely: 1. Belleville General Hospital and 2. A. M. & G. Hospital, Goderich. The A. M. & G. Hospital is the only one which has, three charac- teristics: it is run by a fully qualified Registered Psychologist; it is free and it runs throughout the year. The Smoking Control Clinic of A. M. & G. Hospital, Goderich, was suggested by Mr. E. W. Taylor, the Administratorof the Hospital. He enquired of the Psychology Department and as soon as the . Chief Psychologist showed en- thusiasm, the Administrator secured the approval of the Medical Profession and the Hospital Board. The Clinic is a service from the Hospital to the community. The Clinic is based on the theory that human behaviour is goal oriented. Thus, the smoking is goal oriented. According to Dr. Khan, the smoking is to cope with the stress caused by day to day life. It does not have to be a serious stress. Another theory is that each individual has his own tolerance level. Thus every individual at first fights the stress and he is successful in overcoming a lot. There is some stress which stays and is simply tran- sferred to the unconscious. When this stress is piled up and crosses, or reaches above, the tolerance level, it causestension or stress and ultimately results into compulsive forms of behaviour. Every person decided what to select in order to cope with the stress. Smoking is selected by some and, unless the stress is taken care of, smoking would continue. Technique or the Therapy Once it is understood that the compulsive behaviour is caused by a whole trail of stresses, which the in- dividual had in his life and is now alive in the unconscious, the therapy is aimed to bring the stress out in the con- scious mind of the individual and desensitize that stress. The best technique is relaxation therapy. Thus every individual is taught the following: 1. How to relax 2. How to have insight into the stress causing the lack of control over smoking 3. Desensitizing the stress 4. To develop a positive self image, and feel stronger. Once a person gets an insight into the stress, he is able to desensitize or overcome it. Once the stress is desensitized the person develops an automatic control over his smoking. The last step, i.e., to have an improved self image, is easy to develop at the end of treatment. The total program is spread over five weeks. One session is held every week and the session lasts from fifty minutes to seventy-five minutes. There are six to ten people in each group. The program has been a success. At least 60 percent been able to achieve some type of control with Insight. Finally, it is essential to be realistic, and not to be defensive. Anyone who wishes to join the group should accept that he is unable to control smoking on his own. Those who have defensive attitudes ex- perience a lot of frustration, and therefore, smoke more rather than learning to , control their smoking. The Smoking Control Clinic of A. M.•& G. Hospital, Goderich had 30 persons who joined the clinic. Twenty-nine people developed insight into the smoking problem and 28 accepted stress was causing compulsive need to smoke. There were some ad- ditional benefits from the therapy program. These can be described as general improvement, greater self confidence and better self image. The people who joined the group were satisfied with the therapy program and did not make any suggestions for improvement. The Clinic•is likely to have better results as its image would be better in the eyes of future members.
