HARRISI'ON Har`riston 338-3513 �i.SS ==zz�szzzzzzz��zzzzzzz-,�zz�zzzzsz �3zzz z�lzzS Report This week the„ Minister of Agri- culture and Food announced the intention of the government to implement a program of guar- anteed bank loans to assist indus- trial milk producers in the prov- ince to purchase market sharing quota to which is attached sub- sidy eligibility quota from the Canadian Dairy Commission. The Minister indicated that the government was interested in maintaining and expanding the industrial milk industry in On- tario and wanted to make sure that no producer was deprived of market sharing quota because of lack of operating capital. That being so, the Minister said that the program will consist of chartered bank loans with the Government of Ontario guaran- teeing these loans. The lows will be at prime interest rates plus one per cent repayable at any time without penalty, In answer to a series of ques= Queen's Par tions from me the Minsterof Revenue disclosed that in April 1971 the Department agreed to a proposition of the Department of National Revenue that they co- operate in the establishment of a national real estate data bank.

Urban -Rural Exchange is a program of understanding By Dianne Fines Ever wondered what kids in a city do all day? Ever wished you could show a city friend just how much work goes into getting that milk from the cow to the carton? Probably you have. But then, did you ever consider how much Thinking about..;. higher corn yields ?

Or how much a dog can mean to someone who doesn't have 75 other animals around all ' the time'? Wondering, questioning, dis- . covering—and- most • important, understanding. That's the idea, behind the Urban -Rural ,?c• change, a program that from'its "birth pains" in 1971, has led to "learning througl,dging" for the urban -rural visitors and for the program co-ordinators. About 2000 of urban Ontario's youth', aged 12 to 15 will apply through their schools to spend a week in July or August on a farm near their homes.'Where desired, return visits to the urban com- munity will be arranged by the area co-ordinator for any rural hosts in that 12 to 15 year-old range who are interested in share ing the "learning aspects" of the program. The whole idea is to help im- prove understanding between - Ontario's rural and urban popu- lations, to increase the know- ledge.of,and=personal experience with each other. "'d achieve this, "all palrticipants will be expected to ,. be" actively •involved in tl1e regular life of the host family and. the visitor will be treated as a member of the family. The pur- pose of the program is not ,to create a task force or a holiday, but to expose the visitor to the normal activities of. his or her new environment to learn. Both exchangees and host fam- ilies (urban and rural) will be insured for accident and liability. "Communication" and "envir- onment" have become the catch words of the sixties and seven- ties. The Urban -Rural Exchange Program offers a chance to find out what they mean by experi- encing them, rather .than just by reading about them in a diction- ary. - More information, and applica- tion forms may be obtained from Dianne.
