Hundreds of students and dozens
of cups of pudding later, Kim Baan
of Walton is winding up her year as
the Huron County Dairy Educator.
Baan has been teaching county
students about the benefits of milk
and milk products, often making
pudding to give students a tasty
example of what she means. She
also informs pupils about the
business aspect of dairy farming.
By July, when her year will end,
shell have visited over 20 schools
and taken part in two barn tours
where students learn first hand
where the milk they drink comes
from.
"Kim has had a great year and
has really enjoyed working with the
school children," says DE Co-
ordinatOr, Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot.
When Baan wraps up her year,
the Huron County Milk Committee
will be looking for a new man or
woman to take on the exciting task
of being an educator.

dairy industry, whether they be
The Federated Women's
Institutes of Ontario will welcome
over 3,500 members and friends to
the Ontario Agricultural Museum,
Milton, on Wednesday, June 14, to
a Quilt show and Turkey Barbecue.
Visitors from across Ontario are
expected to arrive at 9 a.m. for a
full day of events to kick off the
celebrations planned to honour the
100th anniversary of the Women's
Institute.
The first Women's Institute
branch was formed in 1897 at
Stoney Creek, Ontario, in response
to a concern for the safety of food.
The determination of those early
members was rewarded when the
pasteurization of milk became a
reality.
It was not long before the
reputation of this Women's Institute
branch spread, and, new groups
formed across Ontario, across
Canada, and, finally worldwide.
Today, Women's Institute members
are proud to uphold that
"community spirit", of which
Ontario can be so proud, as they
meet the needs of the community,
and, the personal growth of its
members.
As the Feb. 19, 1997, anniversary
date approaches, the federated body
of the Women's Institute in Ontario
has been actively orchestrating a

"No longer is this the Dairy
Princess program where only
young girls need apply. This is a
completely new program where a
knowledgeable farm wife or the
farmer himself would be the perfect
person to promote the industry they
work in," explains Boonstoppel-
Pot.
The new dairy educator will also
be asked to co-ordinate his or her
own activities. The dual role is a
paid position of the milk
committee.
Successful applicants will be
contacted for an interview and will
be asked to develop a short
presentation such as one that could
be used to educate students.

Candidates
to discuss
ag. topics
An all-candidates' meeting to
debate agricultural issues is being
held at the Goderich Township Hall
at Holmesville on Tuesday, May
30, at 8 p.m.
The meeting is sponsored by the
Huron Federation of Agriculture.
Although the focus of the evening
will be on farming, the general
public is invited to attend and ask
the candidates questions on any
topic.
"Agriculture is an important part
of the local economy", said
President Stephen Thompson. "We
want to make sure that the voters of
the riding have a chance to hear
what the candidates have to say on
local farming issues."
"The Huron Federation has
decided to take an active interest in
this campaign to bring out local
agricultural issues", said
Thompson. "We want to give the
public a chance to learn what the
candidates think about farming in
Huron."
By publicizing where 'the
candidates stand on agriculture, the
voters of the riding should be more
informed on election day.
Thompson pointed out that "we
don't plan to endorse or attack any
• of the candidates. We are non-
partisan; it's up to the voters to
decide for whom to cast their
ballots."
