The committee has found a definite need for such a group, particularly in the area of social awareness. The committee will be sponsoring a public meeting in the old town hall May 9 at 7:30 . p.m. Professor Paul Whitehead from UWO will be guest speaker. Professor Whitehead has been aware of this problem since 1974. He has written many papers on the subject. The committee has decided AINSMOM to be a branch of the London PRIDE (People to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere). This group is not a temperance organiza- tion; it is very concerned about the particularly deadly combination of inexperienced drinker and inexperienced driver. The local PRIDE group would like to increase public awareness of the costs to themselves in higher taxes for health care and property damage because of the ac- cidents caused by impaired drivers. PRIDE hopes to establish a support system for parents of teenagers and public schoolers as well as who are misusing alcohol. Another area is the need to support our police in dealing with this problem. The next meeting of the local PRIDE group will be with the Exeter police department.

READY FOR FIDDLING JAMBOREE — Convener Lois Hodgins talks to Ray Cann and Nelson Howe as they tune up for Sunday's fiddlers jamboree at the South Hurori Rec Centre sponsored by the Exeter Agricultural Society. You don't really believe in that horrorscope nonsense,do you? I mean, you read it, as I do, just for the laughs? Of course. Nobody in his/her right mind would believe all that pap pumped by people with weird names. Here's a f'r instance: LEO (July 23 -Aug 22): Accent on promotion, production, responsibility, achievement and chance for increased financial rewards.. You'll be tested, questions will be ask- ed and a relationship will grow stronger. Money picture is brighter than originally anticipated. I am a Leo. Good thing I read that the day after it was supposed to happen. I was in- formed on the day it was sup- posed to happen that I had lost my part-time job because I was not producing enough. My wife questioned me about a shortfall of $20 in the pay cheque. Our relationship deteriorated when I said I had spent it on a liquid lunch and the money picture was as dark as a yard up a stovepipe. I know a farmer who believes implicitly in the dai- ly diatribes. He is not a suc- cessful farmer. He won't plow or plant unless the stars tell him to. I have a sneakingsuspicion that they are written ft;r all those bright, young things emerging from the higher halls of learning and not for the Geritol set. So for you faithful readers, here is a special horrorscope for people past 50: Taurus (April 21 -May 21): When you get up for a snack, read the label on the tin.

Sleep in the spare room. Your spouse is fed up with your snoring and is about to whomp you with a bookend. Gemini (May 22 -June 21) : Your grandchildren loveyou. All four of them will ask for a "loan" today. One of them will announce she is pregnant but refuses to marry the nerd. Smile indulgently at her. Cancer (June 22 -July 23): Today, you become very angry. It will be caused by tight shoes, loose underwear, your boss or your boss's wife. Be tolerant. Swallow twice and then have a heart attack. Smile.

Your secretary will laugh at your coy invitation. Worse still, she will tell the whole office that you are so old it now takes you all night to do what you used to do all night. Smile. Libra (Sept 23 -Oct 23): A wonderful lesson in awareness awaits you. This morning, all your socks will be holy, your underwear drawer will be empty, our car won't start and the elastic is broken in your favorite pair of pyjamas. You will conclude that Murphy was an optimist. Scorpio (Oct 24 -Nov 21) : You are supposed to be the sexpot of the universe. Act like it. Wear that black lace frou-froti he bought for you 20 years ago. Do not dwell on the fact that you have gained 20 pounds and the damned thing won't close over the belly bulges. Cry. A lot. Sagittarius (Nov 22 -Dec 21) : Do not keep that doctor's appointment for your annual checkup. He'll only tell you to get more exercise. He will not agree that getting up four times a night to change the television channel and four times to relieve yourself is enough physical exercise. Sleep all day. Capricorn (Dec 22 -Jan 20) : Plan now for your summer vacation. Get literature on Cape Cod. Check your savings account. You will go to Turkey Point for your vacation. Aquarius (Jan 21 -Feb 19) : This is your age. Do not reveal it. You are the water carrier but how come you can't carry your water as long as you did 10 years ago? Cry. A little. Pisces (Feb 20 -March 20): Eat fish. It's better for you than a second doughnut at coffee break. You will remember a promise to bring home bread when you are go- ing in the door. Lie. A lot. Smile, too. It might help. Aries ( March 21 -April 20) : A major domestic adjustment will occur. You will remember the bread. Smile. And kiss her on the back of the neck. Do not bite. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food huron farm and home news Salute 4-11 leaders during National Volunteer Work In Ontario six thousand adults volunteer each year to lead 4-11 clubs. Two hundred and fifty of these volunteers are 4-H leaders in Huron County. The perfect oppor- tunity to 'salute their contribu- tions is during National Volunteer Week from April 23-28. 4-11 Club leaders help our province's young people by teaching them skills, develop- ing their individual talents and feeling's of self worth, pro- viding opportunities for new ;experiences, listening to ' them, and by encouraging them to "Learn to do by Do- ing" - the 4-H motto. The duties of 4-I1 leaders vary ac- cording to their clubs and Y their own talents, but general - t ly these adults enjoy working with youth and are very knowledgeable about the specific clubs they lead.. The contribution of these in- terested and dedicated volunteers may often go unheralded but its value can- not be estimated. How does one put a cost figure on the countless hours so unselfishly given to Ontario's 22,000 4-H members? Hats off to our 4-H leaders during National Volunteer Week. John Bancroft, Farm Management Specialist Seeking opinions for sheep The Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency Commis- sion is seeking submissions about the marketing of slaughter sheep and•lambs in Ontario in preparation for a series of public hearings to be held in June. Deadline for submission is May 15. The Commission members, Jack James, Walter.Renwick, and Garth Noecker, are now welcoming submissions and suggestions from the sheep industry that aiidress the areas of mechanics and im- plementation of a marketing agency for sheep. Mrs. Dorothy Sloan has been appointed secretary to the Commission. The Commission was an- nounced January 5 by Ontario Agriculture and Food Minister Dennis Timbre!), as part of a series of initiatives to strengthen and develop the sheep industry. The Commis- sion's mandate is to work with all segments of the in- dustry to determine the struc- ture of the Sheep Marketing Agency. The commission will report to the Minister in six months. Anyone interested in con- tacting the Commission may do so by telephoning 416- 965-9156 or by writing to the Sheep Marketing Agency Commission, Legislative Buildings, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2B2. How to launder • contaminated clothing Pesticide residue is picked up on clothing worn during pesticide application. Because pesticides can enter the body through the skin, careful attention to clothing contaminated by drift or spills is required. Researchers at Iowa State University, Ames, conducted a study to determine the best procedure for laundering the clothing worn by farmers dur- ing pesticide application. Heavy weight denim of 100 percent cotton and a polyester/cotton blend cham- bray fabric were used in the study; pesticides used were atrazine (a herbicide) and Thimet (a insecticide). Results of the study show- ed that normal laundering was adequate in removing the pesticides - 99.9 percent to 99.9 percent of the chemicals were removed from the clothing. These laundering pro- cedures should be used: clothes worn while applying pesticides should be washed daily being placed directly in the washing machine or held in a plastic bag; pesticide- contaminated clothes should not be mixed with other laun- dry; hot water (140 degree F) heavy duty phosphate detergent and normal laun- dry methods for heavily - soiled clothing will remove the pesticides; any leftover pesticides should be removed from the washer by running the machine empty through the complete laundering cy- cle, using detergent. This recommendation is based on preliminary data, but is a good precautionary step. In addition, Dr. Dick Frank, OMAF Pesticide Lab, Guelph recommends that farmers wear a cap when working - with these chemicals. Coveralls should be changed halfway through the day or immediately if a spill occurs. Jane Muegee, Rural Organizations Specialist (Home Economics) Providing choices Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan has announc- ed that Farm Credit Corpora- tion Canada (FGC) is now of- fering farmers five, ten and twenty-year fixed interest rate terms on loans under the Farm Credit Act. Previously, FCC offered loans with a fixed interest rate for ten years. Under the new policy, farmers will still be able to obtain loans amor- tized for up to thirty years, but can choose to fix the in- terest rate for five, ten or twenty years. "This change in- the Cor- poration's policy will give farmers more choice and flexibility in how they finance their farming operations," said Mr. Whelan. The interest rate for the five-year term will be '.4 per- cent. For the ten-year term, the interest rate will be 14 5/8 percent and for the twenty- year term, it will be 15 per- cent. FCC's lending rate since November 22, 1983 had been 13 percent.
