Arena 228-6425 optimistic the Classic will provide even greater competition than it did in its record setting inaugural year. In 1980 five of the winners in the eight -event meet went on to claim Ontario Federation of Secondary Schools (OFSSA) titles. One of the winning athletes, Johnny Nielsen (after whom the event is named) of Seaforth has just completed his first year on an athletic scholarship in Michigan. Last year Nielsen set shot put records throughout the province and 1 his effort in the Classic swiftly provided credibility for the youthful event. The prime mover in the field classic is Terry Johnston, coach and physical education in- structor at Seaforth District High School. Johnston says this year early indications are that the number of participants could quadruple that of last year. The organizer says the rapid growth is easy to understand. "They (other coaches and athletes) were very impressed with the way the meet was run last year. They have talked with other prople and told them they'd be back this year." Funding for the Nielsen Field Classic is raised through donations and from fund raising events. "My object is to bring people into the area and show them a small school can have the facilities a larger school can have," explained Johnston. Garage Sale Sat.

Heard "Sometime you should list the steps bankrupt farmers take in getting into that mess!" That was what a prominent Middlesex farmer suggested to me after the first bout of interest rates in the upper teens. It was then that pork prices dropped and there were reports in the papers of a big upsurge in farmer bankruptcies. In a way I did not think much of the suggestion, but, there was something In ft all right. It was just that I always prefer to "accent the positive", and as the old song goes, to "eliminate the negative." At the Canadian Banker's Association Agricultural Credit Conference in Win- nipeg, one banker gave a case history of a farmer losing his shirt. I will add some of my observations and suggest this recipe: 1. Line up credit for something big, especially if you have never had ex- perience in it. 2. If one banker turns you down keep trying. There are lots of loaning agencies, and everybody knows that a fellow cannot get ahead without using bundles of credit. 3. Do not seek guidance from an experienced farmer. He would only tell you that you are going to fail if you try to do things the way you want. 4. And do not bother those fellows in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food county office. They are like the guys at the Agricultural Colleges. They would want to see your plans figured out on some silly budget or projection. 5. Remember inflation. That is what makes a fellow wealthy. Prices are always going up so if you are to make a small fortune you must own commodities. Doesn't matter which ones -- cattle, pigs, corn, soys – they are all going up so just borrow all you can and buy the most you possibly can. 6. Pay no attention to ratios. That stuff about having a one and a half to one ratio of current assets to current liabilities 1s just so much guff. Leverage. That is the thing. Have all the credit you can get and as little equity as you can get away with. 7. And specialize in one enterprise. We are in the age of specialization and everybody knows that to diversify is to lower net income. 8. Do not keep bothering your banker. Once you get the line of credit do not talk to your banker until your production cycle is com- pleted. Any nut can see he is a busy person and does not want to be bothered by you until you have the loans paid back. 9. If prices go bad on you do not panic. They cannot go down much, and when they bounce up again you will be in clover. Remember, it never makes sense to cut your losses short. 10. Never hedge to lock in a profit. That only keeps you from making a real killing when the markets take off. 11. If the weather clobbers your crops do not worry. Everybody knows that prices are good when crops are poor. 12. In fact, do not worry at all. It does not do any good. And if anybody is going to worry, let the banker do It. 13. And when bankruptcy comes, remember it was not your fault. The banks loaned too many other farmers money and they bid the price of your feeder up to unprofitable levels. Or the pork producers advertised and sold pork and the fickle consumers did not pay enough for beef. And the government pushed interest rates way up. There is no way for a farmer to make a go of it. And those Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food advisors gave poor advice. Feed supplements to balance the rations just added costs. So there it is. There just was no chance!!

T -A photo Old system buckling Registration to be self financing A massive, 15 -year redesign of Ontario's land registration system will be entirely self-financing after four years. Ontario con- sumer minister Frank Drea said today. "The registry system in this province is 180 years old and it's buckling under the weight of millions of pieces of paper and increased customer demand," the minister said. "That's why changes to the system are a top priority of my ministry. "The important thing to remember is that the whole project will be self-financing after four years. That's very rare for a project of this Stephen Minor Hockey Dance Huron Park Rec Centre Sat., May 9 Musk by Dallas Dancing 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. $6 per couple size." The Land Registration Im- provement Project (LRIP), part of the Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations' Property Rights Divison. was given 1700,000 for its first year budget. Its annual budget will be in- creased by the inflation rate until the end of the fourth year when all costs will be covered by savings generated by changes to the system The project is currently in its first year of operation. During its planning stage, LRIP was known as the Province of Ontario Land Registration and Informa- tion System I POLARIS). The land registration face lift involves microfilming all 35 million documents registered in the province's 65 land registry offices. It also includes designing computer systems that will handle all new transactions and automatically update property maps of land that has been divided. In addition. LRIP staff have prepared proposed changes to The Registry Act • One proposed amendment would reduce to 25 years from 40 years the length of time a +wyer must search back a property's ownership to determine a good chain of title.
