They want something different and exciting, but not too far from the front door. For many, an Ontario farm vacation is an attractive and relatively inexp- ensive choice. A growing number of farmers are taking advantage of this new vacation market to supplement their incomes and meet people whose way of life is a little Pi atC c nvec tion nest g The fifth convocation of post secondary students from Conest- oga College will be held Sat- urday, June 2, at 2 00 p.m. in the Kitchener Memorial Audit- orium.

They are also taking advantage of provincial grants, and training programs sponsored by the Ont- ario Federation of Agriculture, designed to assist them to get into the vacation business on a solid footing. Currently, there are some 45 farm families in Ontario involv- ed in the Ontario Farm Vacat- ion program. Under the Agric- ultural Rehabilitation and Dev- elopment Administration (ARDA) Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, farmers interested in offering farm vacations may be eligible for grants up to a max- imum of $1, 500 or 40/0 of the approved costs of home improve. merits. According to sources at the Ontario Federation of Agric- ulture (OFA), a farm vacation operation can mean anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars of add- itional gross income to a farm. All farmers currently involved in the program are OFA memb- ers. To qualify for ARDA assist- ance, farmers interested in becoming farm vacation hosts must prove a need to supplement farm income and must agree to take the training courses offered by the OFA. The farm must be a working farm and accurate News of Varna Special Mother's Day service was held in the United Church last Sunday with the pastor, Rev, Murdock Morrison in charge, who spoke on "Living together as a Christian family."

The freight rate structure in Northern Ontario is most in- equitable and in many cases the freight rates are plainly unreasonable, thereby restrict- ing the domestic and export markets for Northern Ontario , goods. The proposed reduction on selected rates will average about 18 per cent into and out of the area served by the North- land Transportation Commission. These reductions will apply to selected inbound consumer goods and manufacturing components and outbound manufactured products, but will not be applied to shipments of resource mater- ial. Towards the end of the week Natural Resources Minister, Leo Bernier, faced still questioning in the Legislature about the mercury pollution in the Wabi- goon and English River systems in the northwest. A govern- mental task force has found that mercury levels in the rivers' fish represent a serious health hazard. In addition, the pollut- ion which has wiped out the commercial fishery and damage( tourist operations, has had a significant role in the social det• erioration of the Indian bands. y Jack Mr. Bernier's advisory commit- tee will not be dealing with mercury pollution, but will discuss such things as the use of Crown land, timber limits, hunting seasons and the manage- ment of wildlife, forest and mineral resources. Mr. Bernier was asked if the Angol-Canad- ian Company which caused the pollution shouldn't be pursued legally to make some payment. Mr. Bernier repeated the Govern merits position that the test case is its suit against Dow Chemical of Canada Limited, responsible for mercury pollution in the St. Clair River system. Claude Bennett, Minister of Industry and Tourism, told opposition leader, Robert Nixon, that he will soon be raising substantially the current $75, 000 limit on Government loans to tourist camp operators. Operators hurt by the mercury pollution in the English Wabigoon system, could use the loans to relocate. Cur- rently their clients can only fish for fun on the polluted waters. Mr. Bernier's department is dis- cussing with the Indians effecter ways to put them in touch with new sources of fish. The Nat- ural Resources Ministry will cut roads to nearby unpolluted lakes so the Indian bands can fish them. records must be kept of the vac- ation operation. Rae C. Cunningham, director of properties for the OFA, sug- gests that farmers who don't en- joy meeting people and who would find guests a nuisance forget about the farm vacation program. The entire family should be eager hosts. Plumbing facilities, the availability of suitable rooms, the extra cook- ing required, and willingness to answer questions from uninf- ormed guests are also important factors. Rates now being charged by farmers acting as vacation hosts range from $60 to $75 per week for adults and from $35 to $40 per week for children. Farmers who are interested and wish to obtain further information should get in touch with their agricultural representative at their local office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, LINTON L1 CI IJ (in support of its work with the b ind) presents Go ' each Little The, tr. ,5s pr Direct E AL H by Marjorie Hays Dunlop at SECO I ` A,'I If SCHOOL CLINT IN TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY MAY 22 - 23 at 8:30 EXCERPTS FFIOM WORLD'S LEADING MUSICALS featuring ALL-STAR Cast from Clinton, Myth, Se 'forth, uburn, Goderich and Zurich areas A +ULTS $2.0 STUDENTS $1.00 LL SEATS RESERVED Exchange tickets available from Clinton Lions and Be cher Menzies' Law Office, Clinton.
