The number is 1-800-268-6305. "Market research has shown that consumers consider credit unions to be more 'people -oriented' than either banks or trust companies," stated John Ellis, Marketing Manager at CUCO. "That probably explains why Ontario credit unions already have more than 1.5 million members. But we've also discovered that many other consumers are still unclear about howto join'a credit union. And that's where our new consumer hotline comes into pia " 441/14e - TV -London's Ross Daily. Guests to, the program include Federal Minister of Agriculture, John Wise. Ontario Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell. farmer John Walls and Brian F'arl- inger of the Canadian Bankers' Association. The program explores John Walls' present siltation in rela- tion to previous years on the farm. A year in the making, "Season to Season: A Farmer's Story" was edited from footage of more than three dozen on -location shoots by TV - London camera crews. Cameraman Richard Johnstone is with John and his family as the chores are done, the books prepared, the crops planted and harvested. The camera follows him to buy seed and is there when a load of his cattle go to market. The camera is at the gate when a new load of calves arrive arid is on -location when the fall fair rolls'into town and Greg wins a calf scramble in a mud -howl corral. The camera also witnesses a poig- nant scene as John and his family help a neighbour load his belongings onto a truck for the move into town -- the neighbour's farm -has been repossessed by the hank. John feels it coup never happen to him. , The two specials, "Season to 3 BEST IN FIRST DRAW — Rick Parker, Steve Alles and Doug McBride are shown with the Exeter men's curling club first draw 'A', trophy.

N ew legislation D ecember 31 Under the new Ontario legislation that extends separate school secon- dary School' funding, students enroll- ed in public secondary schools who are supported by separate school taxes may remain in the public secon- dary school after December 31. when the legislation takes effect. The only change in administration procedures will be that the public school board will send a bill to the separate school board for the cost of "crossover" students whose educa- tion in the public secondary schools is supported by separate school taxes. These students will be those who were enrolled in the public secondary schoolsat thetime theseparate school board elected to extend their educa- tion, and those who. under the "open access" part of the legislation, are ex- ercising their right as to choice of school system. There are 558 of these students now in Middlesex County A secondary schools, 144 of whom enrolled under the "open access" legislation. The 558 students represent 4.33 percent of the total secondary school students in Middlesex County.
