About a week ago through a Point of Order in the Legislature, I requested that the Minister of Agriculture and Food table a report that has been in the making for over a year, pertaining to Women in Rural Life. The Minister tabled the report yesterday and a brief summary of the report is as follows: Rural Women are today finding them- selves attempting to retain the values and advantages of traditional farm life while at the same time trying to cope with unprece- dented social, technological and economic challenges and opportunities. • The Agrarian Rural Community Ontario knew 30 years ago has evolved into a complex Rural Society with larger and more highly capitalized farms. Agriculture today is a big busine'ss that requires the use of sophisti- cated technology and sound investment and management decisions. The population shifts in our rural areas have been dramatic. Rural. people made up only 18.2 per cent of Ontario's population in 1981 compared to 29.8 per cent in 1951. During those 30 years the number of people on our farms decreased from over 700,000 to about 390,000. The profile of today's Rural Women is much like that of their urban counterparts. They have the same goals and desires and face many of the same problems. They wish to be recognized and be treated as equals in the home and the business world, both on and off the farm. The majority of rural women work outside the home, either fulltime or parttime. Over 70 per cent of farm women in the 20 to 44 age bracket are in the paid workforce. Like women everywhere many have to hold off farm jobs out of economic necessity. Some choose to work for reasons of career advancement and personal fulfilment. Added to the pressures of being home- maker, mother and wage earner, women on the farm work right alongside their husbands as labourers and managers of the farm business. It is no wonder rural women feel there aren't enough hours in the day. Estimates of the amount of time they spent on child rearing and homemaking, farmwork and off farm employment vary from 80 to 101 hours a week. For today's rural women life on the farm is not only a fulltime job, it is two or more fulltime jobs. Activities such as taking courses or enrolling children in recreational or special programs are complicated by the lack of time available for these. Also farm women often have to drive long distances to participate, further cutting into what little leisure time they have. Moreover this isolation complicates the provision of support programs that people in larger urban centres can sometimes take for granted - daycare, health and social services, such as family counselling. Twp. finalizes plans Plans for the bicentennial celebrations to be held in Hibbert Township were finalized at a special meeting of Hibbert township council held on Tuesday, May 8. Reeve Ivan Norris said council passed a motion to continue with the plans for celebrations on July 21 in Dublin to commemorate Ontario's bicentennial. Among the events planned for the day are a parade. which will include the Seaforth Girls Marching Band and the Mitchell Legion Band. The Dublin Lions will be in charge of the barbecue. The highlight of the day will be an address by guest speaker Bob Carbert, said Reeve Norris. Plans are also being formulated for a interdenominational church service to be held at a later date. McKillop residents visit in U.S.A. Correspondent MRS. ED REGELE 527-1106 Recent visitors with Mrs. Ed Regele were Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Preszcator of Crediton, Mr, and Mrs. Wayne Thornton, Miss Brenda Thornton and Mrs. Dorothy Smith of Stratford. Mrs. Bob McCowan spent eight days in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, Iowa where she visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Drips, Ruth Drips and also Mr. and Mrs. Paul Spangler of Lakeport. 111, They all These women also have justifiable con- cerns about their financial security and their equality in the eyes of the law. They want to be recognized as full partners or in some cases sole proprietors of farming enterprises. They want an end to being as appendages of their husbands, especially by financial institutions. The report documents the frustrations and stresses of rural life today. The rural women participating in this study were quite candid about the challenges they and the members of their families face. Hopefully this study will be used by the government in areas of policy formation and the setting of priorities. attended the four day spring horse show at Des Moines.
