process established
by Federal Act act
Agriculture Minister John Wise has
announced the appointment of Jean King as
interim General Manager of the federal Farm
Debt Review Board for Ontario.
The appointment takes effect following the
proclamation of legislation to review the
situation of farmers facing insolvency. One
board is being established in each province.
Each has the power to examine farmers'
financial situations and to provide for a stay of
proceedings by all creditors while the review
is being carried out.
A chairperson for each board will be
announced in the near future,
"I am confident the establishment of the
Farm Debt Review Board in Ontario will
result in reasonable settlements between
farmers and creditors. The board will have a
lot on its plate in helping to analyze as many
as 1,000 files of farmers in difficulty in
Ontario," Mr. Wise said,
The review board has a mandate to
establish panels, made up of financial and
farming experts, to advise farmers on
restructuring their debts and help them
negotiate alternate arrangements with cred-
itors. Once agreed to by all parties, any
arrangements reached will be legally bind-
ing.
Under the legislation, any farmer in
serious financial difficulty can apply to the
review board.
' For farmers facing insolvency, the board
will notify all creditors and there will be a
30 -day stay of all proceedings by creditors.
The stay may be extended for three further
30 -day, periods, if needed.
The law also requires secured creditors to
give farmers 15 business days' notice of an
aetion being taken against them.
In Ontario, all written requests for
applications or information should be ad-
dressed to: Interim General Manager, Farm
Debt Review Board, c -o 420-102 Bloor Street,
West, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1M8.

cations from local offices of the Farm Credit
Corporation (FCC). For further information
on the program, farmers may Call the interim

WHEAT SPILL — About 1,000 bushels of wheat were dumped Into
this field on Tuckeramlth Concession 7, when three wagon loads of
wheat on the way to the Hensel' Co-op tipped over on August 7. The
wagons were owned by Gary Van Loon, of RR 2, Dublin, who was
driving a tractor pulling wheat wagons ahead of his daughter Terri,
16, who was driving another tractor pulling the three wagons which
tipped, Fortunately, the tractor hitch broke off and the tractor did
not tip along with the wagons when Terri pulled up to a sudden stop
behind her father. Here, workers from the Mitchell Co-op help
vacuum up the spill, saving all but about 50 bushels of the wheat.
Damage to the wagons Is estimated at approximately $4,000.

The health and welfare of all children is one
of the many concerns of the Women's
Institutes throughout Canada.
The Women's Institutes in Nova Scotia
have a very successful "Buckle -up -Baby"
project. They rent out infant car seats to
families for nine months. The money raised
from this project is used to purchase more car
seats.
in the London Area the W omen's Institutes
are involved with the Children's Hospital of
Western Ontario. Besides donating money
Women's Institute members donate freely of
their time to help with the annual "Preemie
Party", stuff envelopes and at the end of May
they helped with the Children's Miracle
Telethon. The twelve branches of the Perth
South District, in the past year, donated
fifty-five quilts, two afghans and several
dozen finger puppets. The finger puppets are
used to amuse the children when they are
being treated at the hospital. Any mother
with an upset child. apprehensive of
treatment is glad that there Is a diversion.
These finger puppets are ideal. in the past
year Women s Institute members donated
468 finger puppets.
Quilts and finger puppets are not all that is
donated. flannel mitts. knitted booties.
flannel jackets, knitted baby sweaters.
slippers. scrap books, toys and craft meter-
Ws
ateriais are all donated to the Auxinary of the
Children's Hospital by the Women's institute
members.
In early 1984 the executive of Federated
Women's Institutes of Ontario decided that
there was a need for child care in the rural
areas. and that a pilot project taking
advantage of the Summer Works Program be
set up. This proved to be a most successful
project in the GreyBruce area. instruction
was given in the importance of honesty,
compatibility, child care and safety. Program
participants taught Canada's Fbod Guide and
encouraged children to eat properly. Basle
personal hygiene, such as when to wash
hands was stressed along with the import-
ance of sleep and exercise both indoors and
out. When this phvgram was over both the
students and parents felt it was a great
success. This Is another example of how an
idea from the Women's institutes can be used
as a model for other groups.
This year the Shedden Women's Institute
in the Elgin West District speatteaded the
idea of a Medical Centre in their small rural
town. They appmached the Southwold
Council. An old building was torn down, the
sign is up on the lot and a new building to
house two doctors end a dettist is to be built.
The Women's Institute branches In South-
wold Township are actively raising money for
the new centre.
Many branches have speakers on health
related topics at their meetings. Other
branches donated money or time to other
health or welfare groups.
So whether it is the Budcteup-Baby
program. the Children's Hospital of Western
Ontario, the child care program in the
Grey -Bruce area or the mer ical centre in
Southwold Township the health and welfare
of all people in the rural areas is of vital
concern to all Women's Institute members.

Tom Graham, the two counties' director an
the Board said the producers were contented

contribute to relief efforts.
"Eggs are so nutritious and eggwder is
suds a good food supplement we feet it was
natural that we should make a contribution
of our own product," he said.

people dying from lads of food. Irs time we
reahaed how lucky we are and did soroPthing
