Riddell -speaks at seminar
• from page 1.
with Mr. Riddell's thoughts on the family
farm. Shawn Drennan, who is operating a
dairy farm with his brother and father in
Dungannon, said the only way he could
manage to get into the farming business was
to enter into a family partnership.
"If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't be
where I am today," he said.
Paul Johnston operates a beef farm in
Morris Township and is also a BFAP par-
ticipant. He agreed with Mr. Drennan's
statement.
"My father has helped me get started. I
use his equipment and in return I do work on
his farm.
"If it wasn't for him, I don't think it would
be possible (to get started in the farming
business today)," said Mr. Johnston.
The third BFAP participant to speak was
Tom Prout who operates a swine farm in
Usborne Township on a part time basis. His
off the farm job is as General Manager of
the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority.
Mr. Prout also shares equipment with his
father and has the belief that, if possible, the
cash flow from the farm should be put back
into the , operation. However, he says
management is the most important element
SPECIAL
in successful farming.
"Education is a key component. in farm-
ing today. You have to know how to manage
your farm," Mr. Prout said.
Martin and Teresa VanRaay of Dashwood
are using the modern method of manage-
ment for their cash crop and swine opera-
tion. Although Mrs. VanRaay says she's still
learning, she finds a computer very useful.
"I was afraid of it at first," she said.
The couple entered into the farming
business with Mr. VanRaay's father and
have been in the BFAP program since 1984.
All speakers agreed ' that a farm is a
business and should, therefore, be run as a
business. Mr. Riddell summed up this
thought best by saying, "I tell city people
that when they see a farmer in coveralls,
that's an executive in a one piece business
suit. And that's the way you have to look at
it."
New rates to take effect April 1
New postal rates will take effect, April 1,
Canada Post Corporation announced
today.
First Class Letter Rates will be 36 cents
within Canada, 42 cents to the USA and 72
cents to other international destinations.
The international rate is one cent less than
originally proposed for the convenience of
customers who will be able to use two
domestic stamps for overseas postage.
Current rates, set in 1985, are 34 cents in
Canada, 39 cents to the USA and 68 cents to
other countries. Rate changes were pro-
posed in January as part of the Corpora-
tion's financial and operating plan.
In addition to revising the international
letter rate, the Corporation will also
charge less than planned for Addressed
Advertising Mail and parcels to and from
the Northwest Territories.
The basic Addressed Advertising Mail
rate will increase from 15 to 17 cents on
April 1. A further increase on July 1,
however, will be 0.5 cents instead of two
cents. New presort options, also effective
July 1, will be 15 and 16 cents, one cent less
than originally proposed.
There will be no increase to the basic
Northwest Territories parcel rates in
recognition of the higher rates that cur-
rently exist in this region.
The Corporation said new 36 -cent
postage stamps for domestic and interna-
tional letters will be available at postal
counters on March 30.
A 42 -cent Olympic Commemorative
Stamp will go on sale April 3. U.S.A. and
International rate definitive stamps will
be issued May 6.
Candy Striper program
• from page 1
was originally interested in the program
by her mother who said it would be a fun.
She volunteered and has been a Candy
Striper at Pinecrest since the program
began. She enjoys the volunteer work'as it
offers contact with the older people.
"I like to have an interest in the older
people. It's fun talking to them and
reading letters to those who can't do it
themselves - just visiting," she says.
Sherry Murray, a Grade 9 student at the
Wingham high school, says she likes the
volunteer work for the same reasons as
she also enjoys working with older people.
She intends to stay as a volunteer at
Pinecrest, at least through high school.
