(NC)-If you read cosmetic labels, you might
be curious about allantoin. A natural herbal
ingredient, allantoin speeds healing and
encourages cell growth. In lip balms, allantoin heals chapped lips: in shampoo', it
soothes the scalp, and in sun protection creams, it's soothing after sun exposure.

WRED
designs
loan fund
Women and Rural Economic
Development (WRED) announces
its newest program - the Rural
Enterprise Loan Fund.
Designed to bridge the credit gap
faced by many rural entrepreneurs,
the Rural Enterprise Loan Fund
allows small business owners to
borrow and repay staged, low-
collateral loans of up to $3,000. A
first time loan cannot exceed $1,000
and must be accompanied by a plan
outlining how repayment will be
made within the next 12 months.
"Step up" to a second loan
requires repayment of the first loan
plus submission of a business plan.
A third loan application must be
accompanied by a written
marketing strategy. Ultimately,
loan fund borrowers, having
established sound credit histories,
will "graduate" to traditional
financing sources.
All loan-fund applications are
subject to review by a local board
of small business owners and
financial representatives. When
accepted, the applicant proceeds to
either the Mitchell & District or
Saugeen & District Credit Unions
to complete the loan process. All
loans are at current interest rates.
Currently, Rural Enterprise
Loans are offered in the areas of
Perth/Huron/Middlesex and Grey/
Bruce counties. Two additional
loan sites in Victoria/Peterborough/
Hastings counties and Eastern
Ontario are anticipated to be in
operation by fall 1996. Donations
from various private and public
sources are creating the collateral
needed for each loan fund.
Rural Enterprise Loans are
available exclusively to WRED
members. Basic WRED member-
ship fees are $25 annually. Both
men and women are welcome as
members.
Women and Rural Economic
Development is a provincial non-
profit organization founded in 1993
to assist the development of strong
rural communities, through local
economic development. It currently
has training sites and business net-
works located throughout southern,
central and eastern Ontario.

Rural Enterprise Loan Fund or

The Huron County Rural Health
Coordinating Committee has
developed a simple clear laundry
guide for use by anyone who uses
pesticides on the farm. Entitled
Spraying Today? Wash With Care!
the brightly coloured poster is
designed to be hung in the laundry
area of the farm. Using widely
recognized laundry symbols and
clear instructions, the poster will
encourage every family member to
take the proper precautions when
laundering clothing worn while
spraying pesticides.
Every year farmers and their
families arc exposed to the
potential dangers of pesticide
poisoning. Although everyone in
Ontario who handles pesticides is
required to take a pesticide safety
course, it is recognized that often
the family member who does the
laundry has not taken the course.
Exposure of the skin to pesticides
is the most common form of
chemical contamination. In
addition to wearing proper
protective clothing and equipment,

the thorough cleaning of the
equipment and clothing is essential.
Appropriate personal care such
as showering before eating or
drinking is also necessary to avoid
long term exposure. The Spraying
Today, Wash With Care! poster
addresses these concerns by giving
the farm family an easy to read
quick reference guide for proper
laundering and personal care.
Funding for the printing and
distribution of the posters was
