Classroom agriculture
Old MacDonald had a farm, EIEIO.
And on that farm he had a furrow to finish
operation, EIEIO.
Old MacDonald's farm has changed,
EIEIO:
No longer does old MacDonald have a
variety of animals on the farm. Most farmers
today specialize, whether that be in pork
production, dairy, beef or poultry.
And that, says Mary Lou Taylor -Hawley, is
an important message that has to be taught to
children in school.
Ms. Taylor -Hawley, a kindergarten teach-
er at South Perth Centennial just outside of
St, Marys, was one of four people speaking to
her colleagues.
It was on October 30, after school when
over 85 kindergarten to Grade 3 tehchers
from across Perth County crowded into the
board roonon the third floor of the education
centre in Stratford. Greeting the teachers, at
the entrance to the workshop area, was a
table laden 'with snacks.
And these snacks, as did the buffet dinner
later, played an important role in getting
across the idea that agriculture is vital to
Perth County. There was apple cider and
apples from local orchards, a pork plate from
the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board
and something new, roasted soybeans from
the Ontario Soybean Growers Marketing
Board.
While the teachers munched on these
snacks, they heard Marjorie MacDonald, the
education specialist from the Ontario Mini-
stry of Agriculture tnd Food out of Guelph,
tell them of available resources.
Videos have hit agriculture, says Ms,
MacDonald. The provincial ministry has
prepared five of its own for distribution
among schools. For the kindergarten to
Grade 3 students, the video is entitled "Farm
Animals." The 10 -minute feature follows a
veterinarian on her farm rounds discovering
the specialized farms of today.
"Ontario fruits and vegetables" is the
video for Grades 4 to 6. Three city children
visit a fruit and vegetable farm and learn
about farm machinery.
For Grades 7 and 8 there are two videos.
One is called "To market, to market" and
shows marketing boards in Ontario and also
discusses supply management, quotas and
production costs. The second video, "Visions
of the Future" shows the scientific advance-
ments that have come to Ontario farms.
The fifth video, "The agriculture connec-
tion"
onnertion" is a combination of 15 short videos

encompassing all avenues of agriculture.
This video can be used in connection with
several subjects, including geography and
environmental studies.
Besides videos, the provincial agriculture
ministry has prepared a catalogue of
resources across Ontario. Ms. MacDonald
says the most important resources are
people. (Continued on page A9)
Staffa man wins
championship
Lorne Fell, of RR2, Staffa, came away from
this year's Royal W inter Fair in Toronto with
his third world championship in four years.
Mr. Fell took the championship for his
barley sample. His previous world crop titles
were for soybeans in 1982 and oats in 1983.
This was the first time in several years Mr.
Fell had shown barley at the fair.
Mr. Fell said he learned, via telegram, last
Monday he had won the award for his Micmac
barley.
"I guess it was a good sample," he said,

FUNERAL
DIRECTOR
SHOULD THE CASKET BE
OPEN OR CLOSED?
This question can only be answered by
the family, very seldom by the funeral
director There are several options to be
considered by the family
The casket can be open during the hours
of visitation and closed during the final
rites or it can remain open during the
final rites It can also remain closed at all
times
Modern psychologists tell us viewing the
deceased helps the family to accept the
fact of death, especially when it may
have been sudden or unexpected If,
however, the appearance of the de-
ceased cannot be made acceptable,
viewing may possibly be harmful The
customs of the family's faith and the
influence of their clergyman's thoughts
may help determine what is to be done
The family s own wishes on the desired
procedure will always be the guideline
for the funeral director at our firm We
respect the family's wishes on all
particulars of the funeral service as we
try our very best to provide a truly
personal and meaningful service
