WI. support rural fall fairs Fall Fairs, a time to show off the achievements and successes of the summer and spring, a chance to experience new ideas and renew old ideas, a chance to see Fair Queens and 4 -Hers and a chance to enjoy and applaud the work of the people behind the scenes who make the fairs the success. The Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario is proud of the effort it makes to make Fall Fairs in Ontario a showcase of rural achievement, The displays put on by the Women's Institutes will often show new crafts in action or old crafts modernized. These are often the result of O,MAF courses led by Women's Institute members. Many rural women have now turned the skills learnt in these courses into money, much needed in these hard times that have hit agriculture. When you see the Fair Queens receive all the honor and glory, they are often there because of the sponsorship of a local Women's Institute. In the same way Women's Institutes sponsor 4-11 clubs throughout Ontario by providing leaders, money and encouragement. In the London Area nearly all the 118 branches sponsor 4-H clubs, so the rural youth may receive all the benefits they can. The promotion of all facets of rural life through the means of agricultural fairs is another aspect of the work of the W omen's Institutes.

"They should have come to council in December," she said. "Why would they wait until now to submit this. But despite the opposition council did reconsider the PUC request and voted in favor of three of the five proposed increases, to be made retroactive to June 1, 1986, when the request was first brought to council. From now on the chairman will receive $80 for each PUC meting attended,, up $10, the Commissioner will receive $75, also up $10 and the per diem, rate will be $60, up five dollars. Council voted against raising the special meeting rate to $55 from $45 and against making the increases retroactive to December. In comparison the council chairman receives $100 per meeting and councillors receive $75. The special meeting rate and the rate for attending committee meetings are both 545. The per diem rate is $55.

MVCA working toward nature study programs 1 EFr Huron xpositor call 527-0240 Filter Queen • "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" 482-7103 BYSHELLEY McPHEE-HALST Since 1984, the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Apthority (MVCA) has been working to further the education of elementary school children with special programs and courses in cohservation and nature study. In 1985 alone, more than 2,000 children took part in the outdoor education program at the East Wawanosh Valley Conservation Centre. The MVCA is asking the Huron County Board of Education to provide both financial and programming support to further the programs offered. Board members heard a presentation made by MVCA staff at their monthly session on September 2. Members agreed that the outdoor education program was well support- ed throughout the school system, but they determined that the board could not readily make any financial commitments to assist in further developments, The proposal will be taken back to the board's education committee for further review, with several questions and concerns to be discussed. Among them, pointed out by the Goderich- the fact that strustee dents in the Huron school ystem also use the education program provided at Camp Sylvan by' the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Students also visit such establishments as the county museum and the historic gaol. "If the board was involved in the cost sharing with the MVCA, in all fairness, it would have to make the same consideration for others," she said. Bob Allan, director of education, provided some background information, noting, "A joint proposal for cost sharing came before the board in the past and the board responded with a user fee system." "There is some advantage to us the groups we work keeping tfrom with," he added. Les Tervitt, general manager of the MVCA said that the education programs currently are financed through provincial grants, donations and through user fees. Programs cost $1. per student as well as a $25 general fee. The Conservation Centre provides 25 different programs for elementary school children, and a total of 110 days of programs. The programs, which are tied into local school curriculum, study all aspects of wildlife, he general aim tof theure �programsd conservation. areto teach young people about the need for nature conservation. Mr. Tervitt said that the MVCA hopes to develop programs for secondary school students. He noted, "It is vital for youth to understand the resource management that is going on in the country." In his presentation to the board of education, Mr. Tervitt requested a two-point proposal: to form a joint planning committee between the board and the MVCA to maintain quality programs and to provide input from both factions and teachers; and, to share staff and operations cost at the education centre.
