being a Junior Volunteer is helping
me to get along with everybody."
Stacy's mother is a nurse at the
hospital and Stacy became a Junior
Volunteer to learn more about a
hospital operates. She isn't sure
what profession she wants to go
into but she said "1 like to help
people in need."
The patients the Junior Volunteers
help find the young people helpful
and valuable. One patient Niki and
Stacy help is Mrs. Hodge and she
called the girls "Adorable. They put
in long hours and are very obliging.
They learn as they go."
Another patient, Iris Muegge, is
in a wheelchair and finds the help
of Junior Volunteers "Very satis-
factory. When the nurses are busy 1
ask a Junior Volunteer to help me.
I figure sometimes the nurses have
enough to do and it's a Junior
Volunteer who can go to the Tuck
Shop for me."
Formerly Junior Volunteers were
known as Candy Stripers, but that
name may have kept young men

soil compaction, as well as the
depletion of organic material in the
soil were damaging the natural
environment. Crop rotation and
tree planting for control of erosion
were desirable.
Right now, the Conservation
Council of Ontario (CCO) is
preparing an Environmental
Strategy for Ontario which is apt to
influence the direction of our new
NDP government. Paul Verkley of
Perth County represented OFA on
this committee, and as I read his
report, I can hear the echoes of
Norman Alexander's wisdom.
The CCO describes soil loss due
to erosion as up to 18 metric tonnes
per hectare, and they blame this on
the past practice of continuous row
cropping. They mention soil
damage done by the compaction of
heavy machinery and over -tillage.
The pollution of our water resour-
ces is blamed on the overuse of
fertilizers and extensive storage and
use of manure. They also draw our
attention to damage done to the
ecosystem as the result of too many
pesticides.
The goal of this study as it relates
to Agriculture is to develop a food
production system which will
provide for sustainable develop-
ment. The ecological processes and
the life support systems must be
preserved, as must genetic diversity.
The system must use available
resources without depleting them,
and yet preserve the economic
viability of the Canadian farmer. A
continuous local supply of quality
food must be maintained at a
reasonable cost to the consumer.
One interesting approach ad-
vanced by this plan is for the
federal and provincial Ministries of
Agriculture to jointly develop a
standard for sustainable agriculture
based on food quality and the
ecological impacts on the soil and
water as well as control of erosion,
without actually prescribing produc-
tion methods. it would then be up
to the individual farmer to meet
these standards under his own
initiative.
Already we can see trends in
agriculture funnelled toward these
goals. Our farmers arc perhaps
more aware of their dependence on
the resources of the earth than most
people, and they are continually
trying out new methods to preserve
and enhance their soil resources.
As stewards of the land, farmers
are reducing the amount of their
soil tillage and fuel consumption
both to prevent compaction and to
save money. With increased crop
rotation and plantings of clover and
alfalfa to be worked hock into the
soil, the organic material is
increased. Expensive pesticides are
not used indiscriminately over an
arca, but more often spot ap-
plication puts the chemical only
where needed.
I think we're on the right track

from volunteering. Today Junior
Volunteers at Seaforth Hospital, a
total of 15 youngsters, are of both
sexes, and all wear red and white
striped uniforms.
Junior Volunteers must be at least
12 -years -old and be screened by the
Coordinator of the program, Fran-
ces Teatero, and Chief Nursing
Officer, Yvonne Kitchen. The
screening process consists of talking
to the youngster to learn why they
want to commit themselves to the
program, explore their background,
look for strengths and babysitting
experience. Any concerns the
youngsters have and time conflicts
are discussed. To be a Junior
Volunteer it is important to have
the backing of the parents since the
youngster will spend many hours at
the hospital.
Junior Volunteers can volunteer
up to 7 days a week helping feed
patients, make beds, distribute
water, write and read for them, play
chess and cards, take patients out-
side and p!ay with toddlers.
Sometimes patients will teach the
Junior Volunteers to knit. Awards
are , given to Junior Volunteers as
they accumulate more volunteer
hours beginning with 75 hours.
The work done by Junior Volun-
teers gives them exposure to
various Health Care staff and is of
advantage to youngsters planning
on a career in the Health Care field.
Another advantage is that being a

Junior Volunteer looks good on a
resume.
The program has been in
operation at Seaforth Community
Hospital for about 20 years and for
the past 10 years the Coordinator
has been Frances Teatero. Mrs.
Teatero refers to the Junior Volun-
teers as her children.
"They're my kids," beamed Mrs.
Teatero. "They enhance the quality
of life for the patients. My reward
is watching them grow up, mature
and go on. It's good to expose thein
to the hospital and they learn to
respect people more."
