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 PEOPLE 4'Ted and Frances Melady, Dr. Tom Melady of Goderich and Dorothy Harback of Kitchener spent a couple days last week in Belle River with, Mr. and Mrs. Fergus Melady. James Sloan of Toronto spent the weekend with Tom and Eileen.Sloan. Larry Murray of M ississauga visited on the weekend with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Steve Murray. in Perth 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.

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, ANNUAL Christmas Seaforth- Shopping Party WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20 DISCOUNT ox CASH PURCHASES p.m. to 9 p.m. O/0 DISCOUNT ON LAYAWAYS NO DEPOSIT required on Lay-Aways T D A Seatorth 527-1950 Open: Mon.-Thurs. 9-6 Fridays 9-9 Saturdays 9-5:30 Water Weil DRILLING W. 0.

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 WHITNEY®RIOEY FUNERAL HOME
