MARCH 19. 1986 Entertainenent Mr. Dressup, Casy and Finnigan After Five Club learns to tie their favorite scarves The (:oderich and District After Five Club had an entertaining evening at Saltford Valley Hall Feb. 25. Music Chairman Colleen Maguire and our telephone. chairman, Helen Brown set the evening oif right with a song that brought in •audience participation as they did an,. encore. 1Iow do you tie your pretty scarf? Well Evelyn Merrill certainly answered that question. She gave us rnany ideas and the audience ,also participated in this as they, brought along their favorite scarf and were able to arrange it in a new way that evening. Speaker, Marilyn Emary asked the ques- tion, ':Does God have supreme authority over you and your life',.." Marilyn said we often question God and wonder, "Does He really know what He's doing?" • She has had several illnesses and stated that even in pain you can still live a vic- torious life. The next meeting is March 25 in •Saltfor•d. ressU will p two live shows in G If you've got young children, especially of the pre-school variety, then they will not want you to miss taking them to the Mr. Dressup Show this Thursday, March 20 in the GDC1 auditorium. Sponsored by the Goderich Figure Skating Club, Mr. Dressup and his pupet�friends Casey and Finnigan will be appear•ing.live in two shows, at 5 and 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Mr. Dressup, played by 57 year old Ernie Coombs, has been a favorite children's television show for more than 20 years. He was joined by the characters Casey and Fin- nigan almost 18 years ago. erich ThursSay Coombs will be travelling on tour with the famous Tickle Trunk containing many of the costumes the actor uses in his CBC televison program. Coombs has said in previous interviews that the show is designed with audience par- ticipation in mind. The children in the au- dience, no doubt, will become an integral part of his live act here. Coombs approach to children's program - tiling is rather low key and uncluttered. The most -watched children's TV program in Canada, Mr, Dressup presents pre- schoolers with a mix of make believe, art, crafts, dressing -up and social behaviour. Trained as a graphic.artist, Coombs work- ed in set and scenery design before appear- ing on camera. He became involved in children's programing through Fred Rogers of Mr. Roger's Neighbourhood. News reports suggest the live perfor- mances are similar in format to the televi- sion show with lots of singing, pantomiming, and, of course,, dressing up in assorted costumes. It promises to be an entertaining show, one that will appeal to all children: Tickets. for the performances may be pur- chased at Suncoast Mall, Nackamura Phar- macy, .Samuelsons or Shoreline Decor. They will also be available at the door or by phon- ing 524-6421. Commodi.tybased mortgages won't work for fanners BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE Farmers are getting a snow job on commodity -based mortgages as proposed in the recent federal budget says the head of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "Trust me, it's no good;" said Harry Pelissero who was in Huron County last week to kick off the county federation's an- nual membership blitz. He had attended a couple of kitchen Meetings earlier in the day to hear the con- cerns' of farmers in Huron. As generally is the case these days, the' financial outlook in the agriculture community received high priority. at these meetings. Pelissero said the announcement in the budget about • commodity -based mortgages would see the loan principal tied to the in- dividual farmer's commodity price. Those qualified for this, a• small number, says the OFA president, would. receive the loan at a six per cent interest rate. The catch comes though, said Pelissero, in the fact that the principal is tied to com- modity prices, not the interest rate. He ex- plained that, as an example, if a farmer had a commodity -based mortagage with an original principal of $76,000, that could in- - crease to $102,000 if commodity prices go up. "It only becomes a quote unquote "sub- sidy" if the pessimistic approach is taken and commodity prices go down," said Pelissero. The president said farmers would also be penalized .if• they dropped out of the pro- gram. He -did note that federal agriculture minister John Wise assured the Canadian Federation of Agriculture that no action would be taken on this proposal until some points are straightened out. There are also external factors affecting farmers here in Ontario. Pelissero said the United States' farm bill would see a 10 per cent decline on Canadian farmers' net farm income. • "AI1 of a sudden, agriculture policy affec- ting us is notbeing set within Canadian borders," he said. • The only optimisiw he sees inthe farm community is the drawing together of peo- ple. The federation, he says, is one of the organizations that has drawn people together during these rough financial times. "As a group, we lobby to tell the story of farming. And more than ever, people need to be told that story now. The timing is right to tell the story," he said. : The OFA president said the FARM AID concert last year and another proposed for this year are indicators of what is happening in the farm community. "When we start holding benefit concerts for farmers in North America, , we know we're in trouble," said Pelissero. In its membership blitz, • the county federation is looking. for 80 new members said Bob Harrison of RR 1, Monkton. The chairman of the membership com- t mittee, Harrison, said all townships in the county were scoured from Mar 11 to 14. The federation set out with 1,826 members. Genuine.
