The purpose of the game is to raise funds for burn victim Joey Philion - the 15 -year-old youth who received third and fourth degree burns to 95 per cent of his body in an Orillia house fire in March. Joey now lies in the Shriners Burns In- stitute in Boston, and will probably remain there at least one year - possibly longer - providing he survives. Joey Philion is the worst burn case the Shriners Burns Institute has ever seen, and cost of Joey's treatment is expected to reach into the millions before It's over. Equivalent care in a regular hospital - if it were avaialbable, and it's not - would cost $4,000 a day. To date Joey's body has been completely stripped of its burned skin and more than 60 per cent'covered with new skin. But, it's been a tortuously slow, ;frustrating pro- cess. Because almost all of Joey's body was burned, surgeons have only five per cent of undamaged skin from his scalp to work with and must patch it on in postage - stamp sizes. After each graft, they have to wait for new skin to grow. Efforts to grow more new skin in the lab - a technique pioneered by the institute - have only been partly successful. Two at- tempts to graft pig skin on to his body fail- ed when they became infected and had to be removed. Joey's toes have been amputated and he may lose his ,right foot from the instep down. One of his knee caps is almost com- pletely severed. His heartbeat averages 140 per minute instead of a normal 80, and at one point doctors induced a three-day coma just to give his system a break. And through it all, Joey has been in pain. Morphine lost its effectiveness and now he is given the heroin substitute methadone. Continually. Almost four months after the fire, Joey has been upgraded to fair from poor condi- tion. His oxygen tent has been replaced with a breatnmg tube. But he still must lie completely still, swathed in bandages everywhere but his face. His arms are outstretched and his head rigid)y kept in a forward position ,so his chin doesn't fold into his neck. He can only stare straight up at the -ceiling. Joey's mother Was told a month ago that if Joey was like most burn victims, a time would come when he'd tell her he can't stand the pain any longer and that he wants to die. That hasn't happened. "He says he can't stand the` pain, but then he says all he wants is to get better. , - He's a fighter," she said. Anyone wishing to contribute to the trust fund set up for Joey can do so through a member of the Seaforth Optimist Club. *- Donations will also be accepted at the benefit ball game on August 16. The game'. will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Optimist Park, and promises not only to be in support of a good cause, but to be a good time as well. Please attend.

The funding was made possible through the Ministry of Skills Development's On- tario Skills program. "The funding pro- gram financially assists companies to train employees and to upgrade employees' skills. In this way, both employer and employee help participate in the development of the training culture in Ontario," said Mr. Curling. "The Ontario Skills funding provides the added incentive for the companies to act on skills upgrading for their staff." Ontario Skills was announced as part of Ontario's Training Strategy in September, 1986 by the Ministry of Skills Development. One component of the Strategy is a Training Consulting Service, offered through 52 Ontario Skills Development Of- fices across the province. Businesses ap- proach these offices to discuss their com- pany's training requirements and receive assistance to develop a training plan. Once a company has a training plan, they may apply for financial assistance, under the Ontario Skills program, to undertake the training. In the last year, almost 100,000 employees across the province have benefited from the funding offered through Ontario Skills. alt "INSTANT REBATE OO r � TOP QUALITY Tyr APPLIANCES SAMPLE LISTING BELOW All Units Subject to Prior Sale 30" Easy Clea • High quality elements for long reliable life • Analog clock, minute -minder, and delay start convenience • Easy -to -clean one-piece cooktop 44 95 with trade 30" Self Clean • Rated as having the BEST self- cleaning performance. 95 with trade hula 10 cu. ft.

Frost Free 79995 vrith trade Eleven farm groups request action At an emergency meeting held in Chatham today, Ontario's major crop and livestock organizations called, unanimously, for an im- mediate program for drought relief and a ma- jor overhaul of the current Ontario -Canada Crop Insurance Program. The appeal was ad- dressed to the meeting of all Canadian agriculture ministers being held this week in Toronto. The drought has already caused permanent crop damage in excess of 500 million dollars in the province. The Ontario Corn Producers' Association estimates that this fig(re is in- creasing by $40 million per day. Ironically, severe frost damage has compounded the drought injury in large parts of Ontario. The scattered rain which has fallen in southern Ontario this week has meant only minimal drought relief. Although crop insurance is available, the coverage is inadequate in the view of farmers and farm organizations. Indeed the deficien- cies are well recognized by governments arid led to a major review completed in early 1987. The review committee recommended key changes for the 1988 crop season - changes which have not been made to date. As a result of this inaction many thousands of producers are outside the program. Even for those enrolled, coverage is inadequate. The farm groups which represent pro- ducers of wheat, soybeans, corn, white beans pork, beef, poultry and canola agreed unanimously that if these changes had been implemented for 1988, Ontario farmers would not now be facing the major financial loss they are. The groups called on the federal and provincial agriculture ministers to make the recommended changes and to formulate special emergency measures to address short comings in the program for 1988. Soybean board chairman, Owen Dobbyn, who hosted the meeting, stated that, "The 1:: p drought has already been the worst in liv- ing memory for most Ontario farmers. Unless special steps are taken to address the Elnan, cial loss caused by drought and frost, the im- pact may be as bad as that of the dirty thir- ties."
