MARJORIE ANDERSON, in a sense the Seaforth and District Community Centres
main booster, accepts a gift of appreciation from Ken Campbell, 'Chairman of the
Arena Board for the past six years, and an original member of that facility's Booster
Club. Mrs. Anderson has been catering the meals at the community centres for a '
long time, Mcllwraith photo.
Booster Club caterer to go solo
Marjorie Anderson, long-time volunteer
caterer for the Seaforth and District Com-
munity Centres Booster Club, has decided to
go into business for herself.
Mrs. Anderson, with the help of various
members of her family, has more -or -less
volunteering her services as a caterer to the
Community Centres for several years,
allowing the money raised from the catering
to go towards upgrading the facility.
Some of the items and services purchased,
through Booster Club donations include: the
grill in the Concession Booth; the high
pressure washer; the automatic soap and
rinse dispenser on the dishwasher in the kit-
chen; the freezer, the ice painting rig (circle
painter and lining); the kitchenette in the
small hall; additional dishes and ac-
cessories for. the kitchen; the stage enlarge-
ment in 1986; the parking lot paving in 1988;
and the additional air conditionning in the
main hall.
"I'd never have been able to keep it•up
without Eric - and the rest of my family,"
she said.
"I did enjoy doing it, though. The only
time it got hard was when I was on the phone
and couldn't get the help."
"I just decided that if I was going to use
' my own family as much as I was, that I
might as well do it on my own and take the
money home."
MEMORIES
No enrolment
fees for new
stabilization
A new three-year Ontario Grain Stabiliza-
tion Plan for 1988-90 has been announced by
Agriculture and Food Minister Jack
Riddell.
A major change from previous programs
is that there will be no fees payable for
enrolment in the new plan, which covers
corn (including seed corn and popping
corn), soybeans, winter wheat, spring
wheat,.barley, oats and canola. Enrolment
in the new grain stabilization plan is re-
quired only once for the full three-year
term.
Under the plan, the Farm Income
Stabilization Commission provides support
payments to enrolled grain growers when
market prices fall below 95 per cent of the
previous five-year average market price,
with adjustments made for cash costs. As in
the past, the commission will cover two-
thirds of the amount of any calculated sup-
port payment.
Enrolment in the plan is voluntary, but
the number of producers involved increased
steadily over the three years of the previous
program. In 1987, some 14,000 Ontario grain
producers were enrolled.
"We hope to draw even more Ontario pro-
ducers into the program," said Mr. Riddell,
"since there are no costs to the grower up-
front."
In 1986, the most recent years for which
final figures have been compiled, $20 million
was paid out to growers in stabilization
payments under this plan.
The deadline for registration is April 28,
1989. Brochures and all necessary forms are
available at local agricultural offices of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

A series off bi-weekly reviews of activities at
SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
STUDENT NURSES ENJOY SMALL HOSPITAL: Conestoga College first year student nurses
are thoroughly enjoying their 16 day experience in a "family oriented" small hospital en-
vironment. Their instructor, G. Stacey says that while the pace is more relaxing than in a
large acute care setting, the variety of procedures that they are allowed to participate in
is greater and the learning experience is terrific". Time spent in Out -Patients and the
Physiotherapy Department is emphasing the trend towards "wellness" and exposing them
to other health disciplines. Seaforth nurses are making the experience very positive for the
students by not only teaching, but showing that they themselves are receptive to learning
from the students as well.
ACTIVATION GROUP ACTIVITIES: Shirley Steffen, R.N. will demonstrate the craft of mak-
ing "Butterflies" on April 18.
LAWN SALE: Numerous fundraising projects have been initiated by hospital employees.
Now the staff is mobilizing again to help raise funds for the outpatient expansion. This time
it takes the form of a Breakfast and Lawn Sale on the grounds of the Hospital - Saturday
and Sunday, May 20th and 21st (Victoria Day weekend). They have been receiving phone
calls 527-1650 - ext. 141 at the Hospital with lots of questions of their own as follows:
Q. What is the definition of a packrat?
A. A person who hangs on to things that have not been used for over two years.
Q. Should packrats and non-packrats donate items to the Hospital lawn sale?
A. 'Definitely, the Hospital Lawn Sale is for a very good cause.
Q. Are all items accepted?
A. Yes, anything clean and in good repair.
Q. I am spring cleaning, will you take my donations now?
A. Yes, we have storage on the lower level of the Hospital
ment. Just drop it off or call us.
We would like to hear from YOU soon! !
