BY JULIA DE JONG, MICHELLE GO VENLOCK AND CHRISTY BRICKER On January 26, Mrs. Liver­ more’s Gr. 1 class had a very interesting day. To finish their language activi­ ties about “Corduroy” and their study of “Bears” they had “Bear Day”. All day they watched films about bears, made booklets about bears and finished the day with a “Teddy Bear Picnic”. They shared their teddy bears with each other and ate fresh bread that they had baked during the day. The Grade 2 class is learning about Inuit not Indians. They know the difference between the two. They are also dividing sets and whole objects into quarters. They are doing Math and Language activites on a Volume Theme. For art they made puppets with one Debt review Continued from page 12 the cost of the guardian is paid for by the bank but added to the farmer’s debt with the bank. Often the power to appoint the guardian becomes a weapon the bank can use to help keep the farmer in line, Mr. Ryder said. The threat can be that if the farmer doesn’t go along with the bank’s wishes, they’ll object to him acting as the farm’s guardian. Evenifafarmer goes through the review process and hasn’t come to a satisfactory settlement, hesaid, itisnottheend. “Don’t feel it’s the end of the road. We were making deals (with banks) for six years before the process came along.” There have been many cases between farmers and banks that have gone to court and “the banks have taken a pounding.” He said the lesson of the last few years is that the banks can be beaten and if a farmer thinks the paperwork he has with a bank isn’t right and fair he should get in touch with a lawyer. In answer to a comment from Brenda Mason, RR1, Belgrave, that until recently it hasn’t been possible to find lawyers who knew farm law and were willing to take on the banks (because many made a large part of their income by doing mortgages for the banks) Mr. Ryder said the situation will change as more lawyers realize that the banks can be beaten. He also said that the court decisions of the last few years are writing a new Canadian farm law through prece­ dent. face on each side and had plays with them. Everyone from Gr. 4 to 8 is makingspeeches. Thetopthree from each class will compete in the gym on Feb. 18. For science, Grade 4 is doing telegrams with morse code.

For the volleyball tournament Feb. 7 the Clinton Christian girls tookfirstplaceandHullett girls took second place. The Blyth boys took first and the Hullett boys took sixth place. In response to a comment from another member of the audience that many farmers probably signed documents at the banks that they didn’t even know they had signed, Mr. Ryder said that in the cases he had handled, when the bank provided copies of all the paper­ work the farmer has signed, about 50 per cent of the farmers were astounded at what they had signed. He dismissed claims that if the banks are beaten in court or have to undergo writedowns they will turn away from giving loans to other farmers who aren’t in bad shape. The banks need good loans, he said. Ifafarmerisingoodshape the bank will loan money, if he isn’t, they wouldn’t have anything to do with him anyway. 4-H dub meets The Brussels 1,4-H club held its second meeting at the home of Barb Graber on Wednesday, Feb. 4.
