EDITH BRUNTON Edith Brunton was born at the family home on Madison Avenue, Toronto, daughter of Mr. Alan Mark and Mrs. Mark. Mr. Mark was a shoe manufacturer of some re- #pute; so Edith spent, care- free, her first twenty sum- mers at the families lovely summer home on Centre Island. She married in the early thirties and raised and gave great love to three children: Timothy and David Brunton and Wendy, now Mrs. Kenneth Bateman. With her husband and young family she moved to Port P#r1y in 1946, and became a great help to her husband in his agricultural pursuits. All the while taking a keen interest in her newly adopted home community activities. Over ten years ago, when her voungest son had gone off to University, Edith Brunton started preparing for a second career in the mothering profession. She enrolled in every course of continuing education per- taining to child care at community colleges, and at the University of Toronto evening classes. As a result she soon became accepted as a volunteer worker in the Toronto Y.M.C.A. program of child care for single work- ing parents in Toronto. Edith travelled to the City by the Myrtle C.P. train many days a week during these ten years, to work either as a volunteer child care worker, or to do her day or days work as a volunteer typist for the Right to Life organization, a cause she believed in fer- vently.

These have been the happiest years of Edith Brunton's life; but sadly it was not to continue. Late last May, following the closing day of Nursery School, she gave in to the extreme pain she had been experiencing for weeks, and entered hospital for an operation. All summer she carefully followed her doc- tors' instructions in the hope that she might return Sep- tember 5th to work among her beloved three and four year old children. This goal was accomplished by sheer will-power and Edith man- aged to fulfill her duties for four days. Her fourth days session ended, she was picked up for home, and with tears streaming down her face she announced that she would not be able to be with her little chyldren again. Later that same day Edith surrendered to the kindly care of Doctors Martin and Dymond lodith was a member of the Hospital Auxithary and a fanahar volunteer at the Hospital Tuck Shop.

All are invited Farm tax changes Agriculture and Food Minister Bill Newman and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Thomas Wells announced jointly today that changes to the 1978 farm tax reduction program will re- define eligible property. To qualify in 1978, a farm property must have produc- ed at least $4,000. worth of agricultural products over the year. The previous quali- fying amount was $2,000. In cases where the owner rents the property to a farmer, the value of goods produced by the rented portion of the property alone must be valu- ed at $4,000. Under the farm tax reduct- ion program, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food pays half the municipal property taxes on eligible farm property. The program is administered by the Minis- 'try-of Intergovernmental Affairs. Mr. Wells said, "We will be mailing the 1978 applica- tion forms to owners by the end of the year. Farmers will then have until the end of next year to apply for assis- tance with their 1978 taxes." --.
