corps of the S.A. have been exchanging

The People Have Had To Suffer Because
He Was Careless - Though repeatedly warn-
ed that the Farmers Bank had no financial
standing and should, therefore, not be given
the good name which a charter at the incep-
tion implies, Mr. Fielding, the Minister of
Finance, pooh-poohed the good advice,
granted the charter and launched the Bank.
The career of the Farmers Bank was brief
but brought ruin to hundreds of innocent
people in this province.
Dozens of people around Brucefield and
Dashwood have been crippled by the smash
and are, as may well be understood, in no
pleasant frame of mind as regards Mr.
Fielding and the Government of which he is
so prominent a member.
A Quick Sale - Mr. Josh Cook has sold his
cosy cottage on Joseph Street to Mr. Frank
Watson, the popular clerk at the corner
grocery. The property was advertised for
just one issue in the News -Record.
Clinton man is director of exhibit operations
Bjarne Christensen, formerly of Clinton,
has taken on an important and time consum-
ing job as director of signs, grounds and ex-
hibit operations at Expo '86 in Vancouver,
B.C.
Mr. Christensen's job began in 1984 and
has involved the setting up of three major
departments - the signage, grounds and ex-
hibit operations departments - setting up
budgets, operating policies and procedures.
This job has required Mr. Christensen to
hire senior staff for all three departments
which includes a staff of approximately 700.
Another facet of his job has been design-
ing and implementing a unique cleaning and
waste disposal system.
Helping visitors find their way around is a
major undertaking, but Mr. Christensen and
his staff placed signs on buildings so people
would know exactly what they were looking
at, and they erected operational signs and
orientation signs.
However, Mr. Christensen took the sign
project one step further, producing a 100
page Signage and Graphics Standards
Manual to standardize Expo produced
signs.
Another one of Mr. Christensen's jobs has
been the managing the maintenance and
cleaning of all the Expo produced exhibits,
including three theme plazas and three
theme pavilions as well as various
sculptures and other free-standing exhibits.
One of his more colorful projects was the
set up and production of the sitescape pro-
gram, complete with multi -colored banners,
flags and other decorative elements in-
cluding the set up of the zones and zone color
program.
The final aspect of Mr. Christensen's job
was the directing of the site ' planning
aspects of the operations division which he
co-ordinated with the site planning
department. •
Mr. Christensen worked at several other
jobs before accepting his position with Ex-
po. Some of these jobs include production
manager and technical director of the On-
tario Bicentennial Showcase Tour in Toron-
to, manager of creative and technical ser-
vices at Canada's Wonderland, production
manager and instructor at Ryerson
Polytechnical Institute, production
manager and technical director of the Blyth
Summer Festival, and technical director -
master electrician at Tarragon Theatre in
Toronto.

New programs for farmers
By Jack Riddell M.P.P.
Huron -Middlesex
Although the Ontario Legislature has ad-
journed for the summer, the business of the
government continues at a rapid pace in-
cluding here at the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food. This week, I was able to announce
several new programs to help out Ontario
farmers and food retailers.
Y IRR Program Expanded
As part of this government's continuing
commitment to the agriculture sector, I was
pleased to announce on July 30 the enhance-
ment of the Ontario Family Farm Interest
Rate Reduction program, which was introduc-
ed last year as a one year emergency
assistance program to help food producers
overcome the effects of high interest rates on
money they have borrowed to farm.
The new enrichedprogram will provide in-
terest rebates on up to $260,000 of existing
long-term, intermediate and short-term farm
debt held by approved lenders. It will bring
the cost of long-term credit down to eight per-
cent, or a maximum of seven percentage
points. As well, the maximum interest rate
eligible on demand loans is prime rate plus
three percent.
In light of the continuing crises in the far-
ming sector caused by low commodity prices
and high input costs, the government has
decidedto expand the program to cover three
full years with up to $70 million being spent
this year and another $100 million allocated
over the next two years. Inst year's program,
which is still not completely finshed, has so
far given out $41 million to about 8,500
farmers, and applications are still being
processed.
In addition to the increase in the amount of
loans covered, a number of other eligibility
requirements have been expanded. For fur-
ther details, I would invite all interested
farmers to contact their local office of the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Ap-
plication forms will be available beginning
Sept. 1.
New Advertising Campaign
As part of a new effort to stimulate con-
sumer confidence in Ontario grown produce,
son July 30, I was pleased to participate in the
launching of a new advertising campaign for
Foodland Ontario with a new slogan: Ontario -
There's No Taste Like Home.
This $l.7 million advertising campaign.
