Continuing efforts to combat the rising rate of automobile thefts have resulted in the development of a number of anti -theft devices. Among the latest of these is a novel ignit- ion coil installation devised by Ernest Burnside of Detroit. Mr. Burnside invented and patented a unique ignition coil receptacle which permits the driver, when leaving his autombile, to re- move the coil thus rendering the vehicle inoperative. This invention is covered by Canad- ian Patent No. 923, 608, issued on March 27, 1973. Compensation for farmers Most farmers are aware of the fact that their workers are cov- ered under the Ontario Work -- men's Compensation Act. As a matter of interest, they have been obliged to cover their workers since 1966. However, some of the details of coverage bear repeating for those farm operators who don't fully under- stand the whole picture. The assessment rate for farm workers is divided into two categories. one covers the oper- ation of chicken and turkey farms, mushroom, tobacco, nursery, market gardens and florist farms. That assessment rate is $1.50 per $100 payroll. The second is $3.35 per $100 and covers Christmas tree, dairy stock, hog and general farms, and those operators performing custom cash crop operations. Those farmers who engage in both types of operations and can show a separation of duties and maintain a separate payroll, may be eligible for assessment under both rates. For further information about this, an op- erator should contact the Tor- onto Head Office of the Work- men's Compensation Board at 90 Harbour Street. Any person who is paid a stated wage and works under control and supervision is auto- matically covered and is elig- ible for benefits under the Act. The employer must record the employee's name and wages in his payroll records. Members of the farmer's family, except for his wife are considered as workmen when paid a stated wage. This information must be recorded on the wages -paid form in the section for "Relat- ives of Employer and Partner." Room and board is included at a rate of $2.00 per day or $14. per week, except in the instance where the employer has a son or daughter still attending school.
