Board were 1.6 percent higher in April, 1986 than in April, 1985. For the dairy year to date, total marketings are up 0.1 percent from last year's level. This month's estimate of year-end production is 104.3 percent of provin- cial MSQ, up from 103.5 percent in April. A higher level of projected total marketings for the remainder of the year is the main reason for the change. The butterfat test for the province also remains approximate- ly 0.05 kilograms per hectolitre higher for the year to date than for the corresponding period last year. Producers have been reminded that the within-quota levy of $5.14 per hectolitre is payable on the domestic requirements portion of MSQ. The within-quota levy on the balance of MSQ is payable at $29.73 per hectolitre. Based on current trends, it appears as though domestic requirements might be as high as 97 percent of an individual's MSQ, up from the 96 percent level predicted August 1. In the final analysis, however, the $5.14 levy will be collected on actual domestic requirements adjusted upwards by the amount Ontario producers under ship that actual figure. If the 97 percent figure materializes, when year-end adjust- ment is completed in August, the $29.73 per hectolitre levy would app- ly on shipments made between 97 and approximately 102 percent of MSQ (this five percent represents quota for export). Including the amount payable on special export, direct payment (subsidy) is ex- pected to be paid on "close to 100 SATURDAY JUNE 21 SALE TIME: 12:30 P.M.

RAW MILK Ontario milk producers are being reminded by the OMMB that selling or giving away raw (unpasteurized) milk to the public could result in a farmer losing his livelihood. It is illegal under The Milk Act to give raw milk away, or to sel! it to anyone other than the OMMB. As well, under the Health Protection & Promotion Act it is an offence to sell or give away raw milk for human consumption. Apart from the serious penalties that may be imposed under the Milk Act and the Health Protection Act, producers were also reminded of the potential liability if someone falls ill, or dies, as a result of consuming raw milk obtained from a producer's farm. "Providing raw milk to anyone is not doing that person a favour. It could cost a milk producer everything he has ever worked for." Board Chairman Ken McKinnon said. The notice was mailed to every milk producer in Ontario, along with a flyer from the Ministry of Health. INHIBITORS IN MILK Keeping the milk supply free from inhibitors, such as antibiotics, is the message of a new education cam- paign by the OMMB. "People can develop severe allergic reactions to even the smallest trace of antibiotics in the food supply," Board Chairman Ken McKinnon said. Producers could also be liable if someone falls seriously ill as a result of consum- ing contaminated milk. Apart from the health concerns, the industry incurs tremendous financial losses when a truckload of milk, or a storage silo of milk at a processing plant has to be dumped because of inhibitor contamination. Farmers who have any doubts about the inhibitor level of their milk should not ship the milk. "It is not worth the risk, either to themselves or to the industry," Mr. McKinnon said. To deal more effectively with of- fenders, the Board is asking the Farm Products Marketing Board (Milk Commission of Ontario) to in- crease the penalty levels to pro- ducers who ship inhibitor- contaminated milk. The Board also plans to increase its producer education program by providing more information on the problems and the precautions and procedures required to prevent contaminated milk from getting into farm bulk tanks. What happens when little Suzie goes off to camp Whether their children want to learn a dance or hunt for tadpoles, parents could have a tough time picking the best summer camp pro- grams this season. About 400 organizations are ex- pected to run children's camps in Ontario this summer. Many will operate as day camps, offering everything from specialized arts, crafts or music programs to horseback riding and wilderness treks. "Residence camps also run a wide range of activities, while providing children with the chance to spend some time away from home, sleep- ing in cabins or tents. The array of options available can confuse parents seeking the best programs for their youngsters. It's important to investigate camps carefully to be sure they will provide propert care, interesting activities and good overall value, say representatives of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commer- cial Relations (MCCR). According to the ministry's con- sumer advisors, in depth interviews with camp directors should give parents most of the information they need to make a choice. Industry members agree it's vital to ask lots of questions. "Find out about staff qualifica- tions, how many children attend, age groups, when the kids go to bed and ask what kind of medical super- vision is provided," says Skip Con- nett, spokesman for the Ontario Camping Association (OCA). "If the director doesn't want to answer your questions, go elsewhere." The number of councillors on staff is particularily important, especial- ly for safety reasons, says Jim Bonk of the YMCA. Most daytime pro- grams operate well with one coun- cillor for every 10 youngsters, although really young children should have more supervision, says Bonk. Parents should also be sure they crv. now wha. their. children expect from summer camp. Does Billy really want to spend three weeks at art camp, or will he be bored after three days? "What often happens, is that parents will send little Suzie off to a particular camp just because a friend is going," Connett says. "Cer- tainly, if the friend has attended before, you'll have some idea if it's a good camp or not. But, unfor- tunately, just because the program is right for the friend, doesn't mean it's right for Suzie." If in doubt about the kind of pro- gram that will appeal to your child, a general activity camp may offer the best solution. Specialty camps offering inten- sive programs in such areas as sports, arts, music or dance became popular a few years ago. But, accor- ding to Connett, the traditional, "all- activity" camps are still in the majority. Location is another important consideration when choosing a pro- gram. Make sure day camps are fairly close to the child's home to avoid lengthy bus trips. Regardless of the type of camp in- volved, find out if transportation is provided by the operator. Are the costs for busing included in the overall fee? Cost for certain special activities or excursions may be extra. To avoid unpleasant surprises, be sure you've added up all the fees and costs before registering. Deposits are usually required, but they may be fully or partially refun- dable within a specific time period and under certain conditions. Check details about refunds before signing up and keep deposits as small as possible. Even when the final choice has been made and hours have been spent sewing name tags on every one of the child's socks, some parents still worry, Connett says. Many claim they are concerned about their children getting home- \ we . \. SORRY ob.

Father Naud, 38, a liberal Catholic priest is House Father to the Holy Family Youth Centre and Boys House in Niagara Falls and his walk is to raise funds for the Home and draw attention to the plight of homeless boys bet- ween the ages of 16 and 21. He said he hopes to raise some $15,000 for the Home. Liberal churches in Niagara Falls and the City contribute some $45,000. "It's a walk of faith for me," said the black-robed Father Naud, leaning on a weathered walking staff as he stopped to chat with a Star reporter on Highway 7A. ib % as Courtney St. John, 5, was just one of the many employees, patients and visitors who enjoyed the barbecue held at Port Perry's Community Memorial Hospital last Wednesday.
