Lamps to reduce costs
Do you use heat lamps in
your swine operation? If so,
you area candidate for reduc-
ed hydro bills. A 250 -watt heat
bulb will use about $75 worth
of electricity in a year. That's
based on 275 days of operating
time and hydro at 4'2 cents
per kilowatt-hour. There's a
fairly simple method of sav-
ing at least $25 per year. This
method should pay for itself in
one year.
Diode dimmer switches
were installed in a farrowing
room as part of a study by the
Agricultural Energy Centre.
These switches have three
positions: "Off", "On", and
"Dim". By switching to
"Dim", you cut back on
power consumption by about
40%. So, instead of a 250 -watt
lamp, you now have a
150 -watt lamp. The piglets on-
ly need the higher heat level
for about the first three days
after birth and possibly on
some cold nights in the
winter. Otherwise, by simply
flipping a switch, you can cut
back the heat level for the
pigs. No more climbing into a
crate to raise the lamp. In the
farm being studied, energy
savings worked out to about
$29 per year.
Other types of dimmer
switches have been tried and
are being used on some
farms. The inexpensive
switch that you buy for house
lighting just isn't made to
stand up to the environment,
the contstant use, or the bad
conditions that they are sub-
jected to in a barn. Another
alternative is to buy 125 -watt
bulbs and use these in the
lamp after three qr four days.
Who wants to go to that trou-
ble? The risk of breaking
bulbs is greater, also.
Diode switches cost in the
$20 to $30 range, installed.
One switch is needed for each
250 -watt bulb. If you like the
thought of saving about $25
per year per farming crate on
your hydro bill, maybe you
should check out some of the
advantages of diode dimmer
switches.

World Food Day - October 16
World Food Day is a time to
get involved in helping over-
come the problem of hunger
that exits in many countries
in Africa. Asia and Latin
America as well as in
Canada. The resources and
the technology to feed all the
worlds' people are available
yet nearly 500 million suffer
from extreme malnutrition.
}lunger and malnutrition
are problems of dramatic
dimensions affecting people
from all parts of the globe.
Children are among those
who suffer mast oft* 1 from its
affects. Tragically, disease
and high rates of infant mor-
tality invariably accompany
hunger. The futures of
children and young people
suffering from insufficient
fond are severly compromis-
ed even if death is not an im-
mediate threat. The ability to
learn is reduced, the capaci-
ty to resist illness is weaken-
ed and personal growth is
hindered.
Take a moment on World
Food Day. October 16. to con -
skier some of the issues that
affect production here and in
(he Third World.

ducers are still phoning the

requires witnessing by a com-

This section is not ap-
plicable toiOntario producers

Teachers at
Convention
About 200 representatives
from every Women Teachers'
Association in Ontario
gathered at the Skyline Hotel
in Toronto Sept. 28-29 to at-
tend the first joint Public
Relations/Political Action
Conference sponsored by the
Federation of Women
Teachers' Associations of
Ont.
Adrienne Toews, Jean
Smith (director) and Eva
Brophy represented the Mid-
dlesex Association.
The Conference was spark-
ed off Friday evening with a
panel discussion which in-
troduced the two -fold theme:
the need for more effective
communication on every
level and for greater political
awareness and involvement.
The members}of the panel
were Edna Parker, Provin-
cial President of F.W.T.A.O.,
Doug Knott, Ontario English
Catholic Teachers' Associa-
tion, Wendell Fulton, Ontario
Secondary School Teachers'
Federation, Chaviva Hosek,
President, National Action
Committee on the Status of
Women and Kay Sigurjonsson
( moderator). The panelists
presented their views about
educational and women's
issues from a variety of
disciplines.
A workshop format provid-
ed an opportunity to examine
practical ways of putting'
these themes into effect.
' After dinner, Joan
Westcott, president of the On-
tario Teachers' Federation,
addressed the whole group
and combined the two themes
into one by showing how
education is a polictical issue
because though funding for
schools is supplied by the
public, this supply is directed
by our elected
representatives.
Therefore, who is in a bet-
ter position than teachers to
recogize when the need for
a change in government
policies on education arises?''
Such a need for change has
become obvious in several
areas, and all five teacher Af-
filiates, representing over
130,000 voting teachers in On-
tario, are united on wanting
these policies re-examined.
These areas include the
allocation of Sp. Ed. funding,
the need to involve practicing
professionals in writing cur-
riculum guidelines, the
methods of implementation of
these guidelines, Collective
Bargaining rights and the
continued autonomy of O.T.F.
and its Affiliates.
The last speaker for the day
was Sheila Copps, M.P. for
Hamilton Centre. She shared
some of her early experiences
as a woman in a
predominantly male "club",
discussed some of the
changes in attitude toward
women in politics in the last
few years and re -iterated
again the need for women to
take the responsibility of com-
municating to the public and
to the politicians their desire
for changes in policies which
deal with women's issues.
"After all," she ended, "we
represent the majority of
voters in Ontario. We live
longer. We can stand pain Net-
ter and we will hang in there
until these changes are
affected,"

Takes five games
Lucan beats Cowgirls
The Crediton Cowgirls
ladies fastball team finished
of( the year by losing to the
Lucan squad in the fifth game
of their best of five A cham-
pionship series.
In their first game played
on home field advantage, the
Cowgirls lost a close game by
a 12-11 score.
Leading Crediton at the
plate was Marilyn Smithers
with four hits and three suc-
cessful runs to home. Adding
three hits apiece were Teresa
Van Raay and Karen
Williams. Helping the cause
with two hits apiece were
Tammy Regier and Debbie
Lord and adding singles were
Fay Schenk and Brenda
Curry.
Kelly Heywood and Brenda
Wilds shared pitching duties.
In their second playoff
game the Crediton squad
came out strong and defeated
their opposition by a score of
11-7.
Leading Crediton with her
bat was Brenda Curry with
four successful hits. Adding
three hits were Teresa Van
Raay and Wilma Lagerwerf.
Helping the win with two hits
apiece were Marilyn
Smithers, Tammy Regier and
Kelly Heywood and with
single hits were Deb Lord and
Fay Schenk.

da Curry, Brenda Wilds and
Judy Steeper.

single. Adding two hits apiece
were Marilyn Smithers, Tam-

Heywood and Deb Lord all
pitched for Crediton.
in their fifth and final game
for the A championship the
Cowgirls came up flat defen-
sively and offensively to a
good hitting Lucan club. Er-
rors on field and pop up hits
r
caused Crediton's downfall.
Fielders Fay Schenk, Brenda
Curry and Brenda Wilds
played excellent together in
field but it wasn't enough
without hits being made.
Leading the Cowgirls at the
plate was Marilyn Smithers
with three hits. Kelly
Heywood pounded out two
triples and double hits were
completed by Debbie- Lord,
Brenda Curry and Fay
Schenk. Adding single hits
