It was to -have been,held on Apr-il- 7 but had t� be postponed .because of, a snow.storm which cased blocked roads, poor visibility and hydro outages. The Festival program on April 28 will be essentially the same as originally planned with one exception. The sugar - bush tours will likely be replaced by tours to various farms in the area. The Festival opens at 7 a.m. and features pan- cake booths, an antique show and sale, an arts and crafts show and sale, tours of the countryside, a coffee house and home - style meals served at the high school and local churches. The profits from the Festival are given to local charities with the meeting held last Monday in Toronto. The 350 delegates at the IAPA conference were told by a brother -sister medical team that a return to the basics of good posture and physical fitness can prevent debilitating back ailments in industry. They were also told by a well-known ear, nose and throat specialist that hearing loss because of industrial noise - is a p'roblem._, of .,rn.ajor proportions in Ontario. And a specialist in alcoholism and drug addiction told the delegates that alcoholism is the most costly and destructive public health . problem facing this generation.

All persons and organizations who have Viking saunas should immediately stop using them until they can be inspected by Viking as a dangerous condition may well exist. +++ Recessed lighting fixtures covered with insulation may have been the source of a number of recent fires according the CSA. Homeowners who have recessed - fixtures projecting into insulated ceilings or attics should check to make sure that the instulation is not covering the fixture. +++ In accordance with an agreement between the Ontario Medical Association and the Ontario Ministry of Health, the O.M.A. is providing a toll-free telephone number for residents of the Province of Ontario who may wish to know the names of opted -in or opted -out physicians in their municipality or region. Outside Metro Toronto, the patient information number for this service is 1-800-261-7215. The numbers went into , effect on Friday, March 30 and will stay per- manently in place, ac- cording to Dr. E.J. Moran, General Secretary of the Association. Dr. Moran pointed out that the distinction between a physician who is opted -in and one who is opted -out is that the opted -out physician will bill the patient directly for medical services and the patient will receive payment of the O.H.I.P. benefit from the Plan directly. Opted -out physicians may charge a fee greater than the established O.H.I.P. benefit for their services. Opted -out .physicians are allowed to do this under the Health Insurance Act of Ontario. Dr. Moran also said that opted -out physicians generally waive any additional fee if that fee will cause the patient any financial hardship. +++ Home gardeners who want a head start on the garden can capture the warm spring sunshine and put it to work in cold frames. These large boxes, 45 to 60 cm high, are set on top of the garden soil, and covered with sheets of glass or plastic. The cold frame acts as a greenhouse for the seedlings planted inside, says Burke McNeill, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food extension horticulturist. The actual cold frame can be constructed from old boards or cement blocks. The sides are low and sloped slightly so the glass top will shed water. For best results, McNeill recommends a slope of about 10 cm facing south. "Storm windows make ideal tops for cold frames," says McNeill. "On warm, bright spring days, the top can • be opened slightly to let some cool air inside the frame." Vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers and cabbages, can be seeded directly into the topsoil of the cold frame and later transplanted to the garden. ,A MUSICAL PRESENTED BY THE SALVATION ARMY LONDON CITADEL AT North St. United Church Goderich SATURDAY, APRIL 21 7:30 P.M.

(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Plant safely this spring The spring planting season is one of the most hectic times of year for the farmer. It is also the season when many farm injuries occur. More than 25 percent of the 2200 reported lost - time •injuries on Ontario farms last year occurred during April and May, says Larry Swinn, public relations coordinator for, the farm Safety Association of Ontario. "Many of these ac- cidents occur when farmers rush to finish planting operations, and disregard, safety precautions," he says. "Farmers work long hours at this time of.year, but it only takes a split second for an accident to happen."

Don't become too anxious to°get to work on the land. Wait until the land is dry enought to work safely. Make sure all farm equipment is in safe working condition. Before you start work on the land; replace worn or broken parts, and sharpen blades. Check to make sure all shields and other safety devices on tractors and other farm equipment are in place. Operate equipment properly and at a sensible speed for soil and weather conditions. Equipment break - downs can be costly and frustrating, but don't try to compensate for the down-time by rushing your field operations. Regular maintenance during the peak operating season will reduce the risk of equipment failures. Swinn recom- mends daily checks on oil levels, belts, and hoses to help 'prevent major problems.
