Farm Safety Assoc.
becomes a reality
The Farm Safety Association
has become a reality as part of
the family of accident preven-
tion associations supported by
The Ontario Workmen's Com-
pensation Board, it was announ-
ced today by B.J. Legge, Q.C.,
Chairman of the Board.
The new association will
assume the responsibilities for-
merly held by the Farm Safety
Council of Ontario, Mr, Legge
explained. Since 1966, the
Workmen's Compensation
Board has been actively
engaged in safety education in
the farming industry of Ontario.
In April of this year, the Work-
men's Compensation Board un-
dertook the financing and ad-
ministration of the Farm Safety
Council for the balance of 1972.
Mr. Legge reported that the
major agriculture trade
associations in concert with the
Farm Safety Council of Ontario
gave unanimous approval for
the formation of the new
organization. An application
has been made to the
Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario
for incorporation of the Farm
Safety Association by Letters
Patent,which was submitted by
the newly elected Directors: Er-
nie Skrow, Georgetown; Mildred
Reeds, Reaboro; William Irvine,
Emo, Ontario; Arnold Kuhl,
Desboro, and W.W. Bilderbach,
Putnam, Ontario.
Mr, Legge explained that the
objectives of the new association
are to provide education in ac-
cident prevention throughout
the province's agricultural com-
munity, and to promote safe
practices in farm work as well
as safe handling and design of
farm equipment.
In making the announcement,
Mr. Legge, who is also president
of the Canada Safety Council,
said;
"We are pleased to welcome
the Farm Safety Association
into the Compensation Board's
family of accident• prevention
groups. Farming is a hazardous
occupation, resulting last year
in more than 1,500 disabling ac-
cidents and eight deaths in On-
tario alone. On a national basis,
farming has the third highest
accident frequency, exceeded
only by the mining and con-
struction industries. All of the
Board's facilities for safety
education will be at the disposal
of the new association."
The first General Meeting of
the Farm Safety Association is
planned for January, 1973 in
conjunction with the Annual
Meeting of the Farm Safety
Council of Ontario, at which
time the future plans of the new
accident prevention"
organization will be fully
discussed during a two day
meeting.
A .rnatter of principle
BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY
With the election campaign getting into full swing it seems that
taxation is going to be a key issue. If we are to solve this vexing
problem perhaps we should go back to the beginning and start
over.
It would seem that "taxes" originated from a need for service.
There was a need for roads and protection. The nobles with their
knights provided the protection with the serfs providing produce
to pay for this service. A system of requisition of labour was used
to build roads.
And now we have taxes without number!
Times have changed and so have our objectives and this ap-
plies to taxes. We now have two purposes for taxation. The first
has remained service but added to it is equalization of income.
I think the time has come that we all agree that taxes are the
best way to pay for many if not all of the public services we have.
It seems to me that we have difficulty in finding a fairer way of
paying for our roads than the gasoline tax. I have driven a little
on toll roads and have found it quite irritating. However many
services, such as education, are financed from many sources even
to the point that some equalization of income is involved, This
Over-lapping of purpose creates a real problem. However the
allocating of tax dollars fairly is easier than getting the dollars.
Some months ago, on different T.V. programs, this question of
raising tax revenue was put to both Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Stan-
field.
They both expressed serious concern for the middle income
group that is carrying the burden of taxation but neither seemed
to have any idea of how to bring relief. Strangely, they didn't
even mention a word about the lower income group that doesn't
have a taxable income yet cannot avoid paying all the hidden
taxes of which many know nothing about, and for whom nothing
is done unless they give up and. go on welfare, which is a sad
alternative. Nothing was said about increasing the income tax of
the upper income group. None of the groups were defined.
Under present exemption few families could be exempt of in-
come tax with an income of over $5,000 so we might classify the
lower group as under $5,000. Then we would have a middle in-
come group with income from $5000 to $1500. This I think would
leave quite a large number in the group in the upper income
group. It seems strange that no mention was made of this group,
as a source of increased revenue.
Could it be that there are two very good reasons why this
group was omitted?
First it has been stated that 95 corporations provide a very
high percentage of the campaign funds for one of our major
political parties. Naturally these corporations are controlled by a
very small number of very wealthy persons.
Secondly, many people seem to feel that government is just as
money-hungry as any individual, if not more so. One person with
a taxable income of $100,000 contributes a lot more to the gover-
nment coffers than 100,000 persons with $1,000 taxable income.
One of the very urgent needs is a more equitable taxation
system.

Hunter Safety Training was
instituted a number of years ago
in the Province of Ontario. The
results have been gratifying with
substantial reductions in the
number of fatal and non fatal
hunting accidents through the
use of firearms and boats.
The Ontario Safety League
points out that it is mandatory
in Ontario for anyone under the
age of 20 who has not previously
held a hunting licenpe to take
the Hunter Safety Training
Course and pass a Ministry of
Natural Resources' Test before
a hunting licence may be issued.
Applicants, the age of 20 and
over, may obtain hunter safety
instruction material for their in-
formation and study from the
Ministry of Natural Resources
and then take the Ministry Test.

However, the Ontario Safety
League advises any new hunter
to attend a Hunter Safety
Training Course before attemp-
ting the Test.
The Hunter Safety Training
Course covers more than the
safe handling of firearms.
Because of the high incidence of
boating accidents involving hun-
ters, the Ontario Government
decided several years ago to add
boating safety for hunters and
cold water survival to the
Course curriculum. The results
have been nothing less than fan-
tastic. In four years' time
boating fatalities among hunters
have been reduced from 30 or 40
each year to only two in the fall
of 1971. The League extends
hearty congratulations to the

Question: Wind-driven
rains caused severe leaking
through the shingled- roof of
my 15-year-old home. Upon
close inspection, I could see
no missing or broken Shin-
gles, but still the leaks re-
curred with every rain storm
ithat had high winds.
A close study of the leaks
indicated that they were in
the area of the valleys where
a dormer roof joined the main
roof. Something must be clone
,-but what?
Answer; You are right! You
must make a repair before
you find yourself faced with
a replastering job, or worse.
As roofs age, the shingles
harden and in cold weather
fail to seal against the metal
flashing in valleys or around
chimneys. The shingles may
look all right, but high winds
can lift them and drive large
amounts of water up under
the shingles, beyond the metal
flashing, and thus through the
roof.
The easiest solution is to
use a product called Instant
Patch. It is a high-solids as-
phalt compound that contains
reinforcement fibers. It can
be brushed into and across
voids without sagging or run-
out.
With a brush or trowel,
work a generous amount of
Instant Patch well up under
the shingles where they over-
lap the flashing. Avoid break-
ing the shingles as you raise
them and work the Instant
Patch under.
Next, press the shingles
down into the compound. Its
adhesive qualities will help to
hold the shingles down; but, ,
more important, the com-
pound will help fill the gap
between old shingles and the
flashing. and prevent water
from being blown up beyond
the flashing.
While you are up on the
roof, it would be wise to in-
spect the fleshings around
the chimneys, soil pipes, and
other through-the-roof de-
vices, such as ventilators. In-
stant Patch can be used to re-
place old compounds that are
beginning to lose their weath-
er-proofing qualities. For
more information on the use
or application of Instant
Patch, write to Tom Tremfix,
