t The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, June 24,1987 Section Two Janetville Pork Producer Honored Howard Malcolm, R.R. 2. Janetville, has been selected as an outstanding Pork Producer for Victoria County. Howard and his son, Terry, operate a 200 sow farrow to finish operation, marketing 3400 hogs annually. The cropping program consists of corn, wheat and barley. Swine housing consists of bams converted into an efficient swine system. Buildings are well maintained, being painted or covered with colored steel. Breeding stock are purchased from a single supplier. Howard has been active for many years at the county, provincial, federal and international international level. He has been a director of Victoria County Pork Producers Association, and chairman of the Ontario Pork Producer Marketing Board. Howard has been chairman of the Canadian Pork Council. During his chairmanship he has worked relentlessly in negotiations with the U.S. regarding Countervail Duty on Canadian pork and hogs entering the U.S. from Canada. He has been a tough, but fair negotiator and Canadian Pork Producers can be thankful that through his efforts, the Countervail Countervail Duty has been removed from Canadian pork entering the U.S. Howard is a firm believer in free trade and feels Canada can, and should, compete in North American and International Markets. Parent Volunteers Help Schools in Many Ways Durham East Agricultural News By: John E. Finlay, Agricultural Representative CROP INSURANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS: RECOMMENDATIONS: The Canada-Ontario Crop Insurance Review Committee has released a report with a large number of recommended changes. A major change would involve a tripartite approach where costs of Crop Insurance would be shared between the Federal, Provincial Governments Governments and producers. The proposal is 50 per cent of cost paid by federal government, 35 per cent by the farmer and 15 per cent by the provincial government plus administrative administrative costs. Also, additional coverage above the 80 per cent level should be available. A further 10 per cent of crop coverage should be covered 75 per cent by the provincial government and 25 per cent by the farmer. Poor or zero yields affect yield averages too much and far too long. The Committee recommends that when there is a loss of 40 per cent or more of the average farm yield, that 60 per cent of that yield be substituted in the calculation Snowden Picnic in Solina On Sunday, June 7th, 1987 members of the Snowden Clan gathered at Solina Hall for the reunion with 83 present.

The Committee also recommends that Hail Spot loss protection be made available available as an option to all plans. All acres grown to the crop would have to be insured and an actuarially sound premium rate would have to be developed developed in conjunction with the ' federal government. Another recommendation is that no separate Disaster Fund or Ad Hoc Disaster Relief Programs be created for crops covered by Crop Insurance. The Crop . Insurance Commission should develop plans for all commercially commercially viable crops currently grown in Ontario. A considerable number of recommendations were also ,made for individual crops.

By Jeannine Winter Did you know that every day, in most schools, there are many parent volunteers, who tirelessly give of their time and energy? They offer their services at the slightest request of a teacher or principal. For many, their childre are all in school, and their time is their own. For others, they have to bundle up young ones and either take them along or drop them off at a neighbor. They arrive at the school, with big smiles, sleeves rolled up, ready for action. They may choose to do flouride rinses. This involves mixing up the flouride solution, going from class to class, checking to see that each child is present, timing the children for a one minute "swish", disposing of the rinse, and putting the flouride away in a safe place. This method has proven to reduce cavities. Or they could choose to teach some very active, very interested, very inquisitive five to eight year olds how to make cookies or muffins. How about providing hot meals such as chili, hot dogs, or pizza? It give both parents and children a break from ho-hum sandwiches. They'll go on field trips, where the noise level of any given bus could reach dangerously dangerously high decibals. And then be in charge of five or six excited youngsters, to see everything on the itinerary. Since pediculosis is a problem problem that can affect many students, there is usually a, committee of volunteers that* will go into the school after' any holiday, and perform head checks on each and every child in the school. Thus saving an outbreak. They might provide assistance assistance for the already too busy teacher and tutor those students who need that extra little help in understanding their daily lessons. Some parents head up committees that raise funds needed to provide additional equipment, for the betterment of our children's education. School Libraries are now called "Learning Resource Centres." You will usually find a parent helper in there assisting the children with many projects. These are just some of the things parent volunteers offer to do. Ask any principal what he would do without his "parents", and he'd tell you what an important role they play. Many schools show their appreciation by giving teas or luncheons, where they honor these hard working parents. If you are saddened at losing your "little one" to the school, why not offer to be a parent volunteer? Not only would you be involved in helping your own child, but you would be doing a great service to many others. Some of our senior citizens are also becoming very active as parent volun teers. Who, but they, have so much wisdom to offer. Until I became a parent volunteer, I had no idea of what a fun and rewarding experience it could be. My children have benefited greatly by the close and posi tive relationship I have developed with both the teachers and the principal. If you are interested in giving some of your time, call your school's principal and offer your assistance. Don't be shy! They'll love you for it!
