HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-08-31, Page 3pointed out that in 1977 the FCC accounted for 43 per- cent of loanng-�term farm credit extended in the cool, try. But in 1961 the agency accounted fora only 21 per- cent of. long-term farm credit extended. "It's quite obvious the government isn't letting the. FCC live up to its mandate as a major source of farm credit;',Barrie said. "These ys the agency is little more than a lender of last resort." Barrie said a first step towards revitalizingthe FCC would be to let it increase its budget to meet the 'loan .re- quests on file. And to provide for adequate long-term capital in the future, the government should in- troduce Agri -bonds. Agri -bonds would offer farmers a source of long- term ongterm funding at interest rates below the going. market rates. Agri -bonds would do this"by granting in- vestors tax concessions, so a lower interest rate could be paid on the bonds, but the after-tax return would be comparable to conventional bonds. "All we want is for the government to give farmers the ..credit they . deserve," Ramie said it's time for school...and for colds When your child reaches school age, or starts nursery school, he or she will be ex- posed to many children with colds. There are no sure ways to avoid colds, but the better your child's general health, the stronger his or her defenses will be to fight off some infections. Usually it takes several days after breathing in the germs before symptoms of a cold appear. The symptoms may be a sore throat, cough, fever, and a stuffy nose. Headache, body aches and swollen glands may,' also ' be present. Once thecold IS ful- ly developed, it usually con- tinues at its peak for several days, and then lets up. There are no known cures for the common cold. If the symptoms are severe enough however, your child's doctor may help to relieve some of the symp- toms.

Reader suggests location in photo Last week the Signal -Star ran a photograph from the Archives of Ontario, depicting a street corner in the town of Goderich. Ken MacPherson, photo archivists, informed us that the photograph was taken by D. Cambpell and that it definitely was a photo of a street corner in Goderich. It is believed to be one of the oldest photographs in the Provincial Archives. Reader Greg Little of Goderich suugests the photo was taken on the corner of West Street and The Square, the present location of the Bank of Nova Scotia. One street sign identifies the business of Shephard and Strachan, local merchants who sold fish products in- cludings oysters. Another store front sign in tue picture identifies the drug shop Parker and Cattle. Formerly located on Kingston Street, Little believes Parker and Cattle moved to West Street in about 1860. At that time West Street was the town's main business street leading to the harbour. So Little believes the photo depicts the corner of West Street and The Square between 1860 and 1870. If any other reader has any in- formation about the photo, we'd like to hear from you. 1'urnberry barn burns WINGHAM - An overloaded electrical circuit is suspected as the cause of a fire which destroyed a large barn on a Turnberry Township farm on August 16. The loss, which is estimated at more than $60,000, included about 140- 150 pigs and a large quantity of hay stored in the barn as well as in the yard behind it Some cattle, which also were in the barn, were saved, as were about 40 pigs. Wingham fire fighters got the call to the Ray Breckenridge farm on Lot 2, Con. B, of Turnberry at about 1:45 p.m., Chief Dave Crothers reported. There was no chance of saving the barn, however, the firemen did help to get some pigs out. Best .. nterest 121/2 0�0 5 Year Annual We represent many Trust Companies.

(OFA) charged recently. "Last year five out of six farmers who wanted FCC loans walked away without ariy.:money,"°,Ralph. Barrie said.<' hhis.: year;., things could be even worse." In the first three months of its fiscal year, the FCC allocated its entire budget for the year. But when it sought approval to lend an additional $600 million to meet the approved loans on file, the government said it could only loan $250 million. The credit situation is so severe that FCC has refused to process loan applications since June 10. To make matters worse, FCC sources say the chartered banks are pulling out of long-term mortgage lending to , the farm cop7- rnunity. "Where are farmers; to turn for long-term financ- ' ing?" . Barrie " asked. "The FCC doesn't have the money and the banks aren't in- terested in the long-term mortgage market." Barrie called on the federal government to make the FCC a primary source of credit to the farm communi- ty, as it was in the 1970s. He of fluids are usually recom- mended and sometimes medications. If the child is coughing it does not necessarily mean that there is infection in the chest. If there is mucus and phlegm at the back of the nose or in the throat, the child will cough to stop the infection going down to the chest. This Is what the cough is for. The doctor can tell whether the infection has spread Into the chest or is still just in the nose and throat. If a cold does spread deeper into the chest, the in- fection can affect' the air passages of the lungs,•called the bronchial tubes. A mild form .of lung disease called bronchitis can occur even without fever and constant coughing. A child who coughs frequently should be seen by the doctor. Be sure to call the doctor if your child has a fever that lasts for more than two or three days, a Severe headache, chest pains, hard coughing spells, ear ache, or rusty looking phlegm which he is coughing up. Sometimes what seems to be only a cold can be 'the begin- ning of a more serious condi- tion. For more information about protecting your child's lungs contact your local lung association. Ask them for the booklet "Your Child's Lungs ' Are For Life" - it's free as a Christmas Seal service.
