BOX 129, BRUSSELS, - PH. 887-9221 Compensation rate increase for farm employers Farming has the third-highest accident frequency of all' other occupations, and with the large number of farm workers injured each year, compensation payments- have been increasing steadily. AS a result, the rates for farm employers ,reporting to the Workmen's Compensation Board were raised on January 1 of this year. Don Brown of the Farm Safety Association (FSA) points out that rate increases and_pay claims are the responsibility of Workmen's Compensation Fk'aftcP,'"liot FSA "The policy of the FSA, being involved in an occupational accident prevention program, is to help the farmer in any way we can. An Explanation for the rate increases is one of the questions constantly being asked." In the past, WCB rates for farm employers were lower than recommended by provincial auditors. With the increasing cost of payments, the deficit for these rates has been increasing steadily over the last three years. In order to bring the deficit back to normal, WCB is adopting the recommendations- of its auditors. The $1.50 rate will be increased to $1.95; and the $3.35 rate to $4. Brown continues that "the Farm Safety Association is a purely consultative organization to help Ontario farmers reduce their accident frequencies. Already many farmers are beginning to discover that the number of accidents is well above average; they have to understand that, without accident prevention and safety education, they will be forced to pay even higher assessments."

On' other ' business, it was decided to establish a committee to study the restructuring of County government: Since it was felt that the province will impose. restructuring if nothing is done locally, the ,Ind'tilbers• and directors 'thougb.tnit,'IwiSei4o be well informed of what art be expected. President Doug Fortune announced that a telegram, has been sent to Queent Park opposing the imposition of daylight savings time.
