Some of the longer training programs are designed specifically for farmers in the area. All of these longer training pro- grams have funding assist- ance from the Canada Em- ployment and Immigration Commission and there is no charge to participants. Re- sponding to the concerns of many farmers for good finan- cial management, there will be three Financial Manage- ment courses, all five days in length, one day each week for five weeks. These courses are taught by area accountants who deal with farmers every day and understand their problems. Centralia College is also offering another four pro- grams that should have a lot of appeal `tlpr area rural people. Jay Campbell, CFPL TV Channel 10 meterologist, has agreed to put on a course for area farmers called Under standing Your Farm Wea- ther. This will be a very interesting two day course that should help farmers to be able to read the weather signs and interpret weather infor- mation easier. The course will start on Monday, November 29 at 9:30 a.m. The second day of the course is the next Monday. December 6.

For every 51 million gener- ated by farmers, the equiva- lent of 100 other Canadians are provided with employ- ment. Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture Study. In 1981, Canada's 318,000 farmers generated 517 billion into the Canadian economy - that's 1.7 million jobs for Canadians. In 1980, Canada imported 55 billion of food products. If we replaced 53.5 billion of these imports with Canadian food products: - that would BER 24, 1082 — A23 ON THIS SAUCER provide the equivalent of 350,000 additional jobs for Canadians. Farmers' net incomes have gone down during the last two to•three years. In 1982, net farm income will go down again. this time by 8700 million: - that affects the farmers' buying power and will affect employment for the equivalent of about 70,000 Canadians. -Prepared by: Women for the Survival of Agriculture R.R.

Kilmer, Executive Vice -President, Fertilizer Institute of Ontario (left.) The museum debate Continued from page 21 Rupnow Limited, consulting engineers, showed the former telecommunications school is structurally sound. There has been vandalism at the building leaving it with many broken 'windows. But there are many positive features of the building. The engineer's report has indicated the walls between the 105 classrooms Can be taken out. On the first floor of one of the wings there are ▪ seven bays. Throughout the building there 'Ka are several rooms containing seats making ideal lecture rooms. There is a 284 -seat theatre and a large entranceway into the building. Tuckersmith clerk -treasurer Jack Mc- Lachlan said each wing is identical except for the one wing with the bays on the first floor. He said local businesses have indicated a willingness to improve their lots if the museum is brought into Vanastra. There is also the possibility a propery improvement bylaw may be passed in Tuckersmith. Each wing of the building is self-contain- ed and as the museum only needs about 80.000 of the building's 155.000 square feet, ideally one wing could house the museum. Vaults located throughout the building could be 'used for storage. something lacking at the current museum facility. At the October session of Huron County council. two more studies were authorized. A structural study on the present museum building by B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderieh is to be completed this week. The 52.000 study is being paid for by the Town of Goderich. The second study is also to be completed this week. Museum Programs Collaborat- ive. a museum and art gallery consulting firm. will investigate the suitability of the Vanastra building to house the museum artifacts and specimens. It remains to be seen what will take place at county council's November session as one study, the operational cost study. remains to be done. One thing of import is the reaction of Goderich citizens to the talk of possibly moving the museum. OPPOSITION At the past two county council sessions placard carrying citizens outside the county court house have protested the move. There have been delegations to the county from concerned- citizens and representatives of the town. Also a petition signed by about 2.500 school children was presented to Huron County Warden Harold Robinson. of the new L 07 SWAM STREET EAFOL TH The museum bas been praised by both government officials and tourists alike. Mr. Scotchmer reports that several tourists have informed him they would rather see the Huron County Peioneer Museum than the Ford museum in Detroit, Michigan. No studies have been done on what tvw of people are goinpythrougth the museum. guest book enables visitors to sign their name and address, which provides the curator with the knowledge of where some of the visitors are coming from but what 'remains to be known is why they come 'to the museum. While the future of the museum is in limbo, Mr. Scotchmer has his own ideas of how he would like to see its future unfold. He notes they closely parallel the ideas of Mr. Neill. He would like to see the artifacts and specimens displayed in a more natural setting, much like the many pioneer villages scattered across the country. but indoors. Working artifacts depicting such things as how wool is dyed and how mats are made on looms represent some of the arrator's goals. Craft projects such as candle making, spinning. weaving and sickle and cradle making have been done in the recent past at the museum. Mr. Scotchmer says the crafts are made where there is space, often oa the floor in the display areas. Mr. Sootchmer noted a volunteer assists the museum by conductin craft classes. The curator would also like to see two or three lecture rooms for the museum. These rooms would provide an opportunity to instruct tour groups. Proper storage area is also required. M the current facility every specimen .nd artifact is on display. Another mark against the present museum building is the lack of environ- mental control.Besides having no heat in thc building during thc colder months, there is no moisture protection for the artifacts. Mr. Neill's original collection has grown and includes such items as the 1925-26 Essex car he used to travel across the country. war memorabilia. items from local industry such as the salt mines and flour nulls. carriages. agricultural implements. dentistry equipment. church artifacts, clothing. pictures. animals" and many more. The Huron County Pioneer Museum is. in fact. Huron County's past. but what of its future? torris THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25th AUSTRALIAN SULTANA RAISINS MANNING'S COOKIES 11 VARIETIES MIX OR MATCH CHERRY PIE FILL oim 99C LB.
