"We can't afford to pay it," claims Community Hospital Administrator David Brown, "not with the hospital expansion fun- draising going on." "Silly fellows," sez Durham Constable Greg Heasman, who wasn't really writing out a ticket. He was ac- tually signing a $100 cheque made out for the hospital. The money was raised during a re- cent softball game between local police and chamber members. Farm Women book result of a study A newly formed ac- tivist group called Con- cerned Farm Women, has published a book documenting the unique financial and psychological stresses facing today's farm family. The group hopes to make both rural and urban people more aware of their struggles and challenges since this dwindling minority of 4 per cent is responsible for the country's entire food production. Entitled '"The Farmer Takes a Wife" the book is . the result of a study on farm women, recently undertaken by Concern- ed Farm Women. A 31-page questionnaire was sent to 600 farm women in Bruce and Grey Counties, the data of which was prepared for computer analysis during the fall of 1982.

Chapters 1 and 2, "'Life on the Farm' and '""Farm Operations" outline the activities of a typical day for the farm women, whether it be housework, child-rearing or working at her hus- band's side, in the barn or on the fields. Chapter 3 "Finances" outlines with statistical charts, the difficult financial situation in which farm families find themselves, especially in the last few years when interest rates soared. Chapters 4 and 5 "Husbands"' and "Children" emphasize the strong bond between farmer and wife, not just as a married couple, but as working and business partners. The farmer's children learn the value of hard work and close family ties, at an early (7 \ =: WL 3 ANN ?

In the final chapters, "Careers" and "The Farm Woman and Stress" the survey in- dictes that farm women "felt comfortable in their profession and took pride in what they produced. Only 11 per cent of the women surveyed in- dicated a desire to leave the farm even though 17 per cent felt they were going to lose all or part of their farm in 1982." The actual survey is in- cluded in the 70 page soft- covered book which will retail at $4.00.

In a directive sent to every OPP detachment, OPP Commissioner James Erskine pointed out that the proper use of seat belts has a direct relationship to the seriousness of injuries received in accidents. He told OPP officers that en- forcement of the laws demanding occupants of a vehicle wear seat belts has great potential for reducing deaths and in- juries in traffic accidents. Under Ontario legistla- tion, the driver of a motor vehicle and any passenger 16 years and over may be charged if AAR LR RRARR ' they do not use a proper seat belt assembly. The driver is also responsible for making sure that anyone in the vehicle above the age of two and under 16 years, wears the proper restraining devices. Studies conducted in Ontario have found that the number of people wearing seat belts has declined drastically. After their use was made mandatory in 1976, the usage rate was 76 per cent. More recent studies by Transport Canada have shown that the pre- sent rate is about 49 per cent, a reduction of 27 or fowans (NARA RR ARAN : ERLE NANA Rowand RCA 20" Remote Control Colortrak T.V. 3 Yr.

"There are two ways of getting more people to wear seat belts," said Commissioner Erskine "They are enforcement and education."' The OPP officers on traffic patrol will be increasing- ly vigilant in laying charges for these infractions "The education side of the issue will be address- ed by OPP Community Services Officers. The of- ficers will emphasize the use of seat belts whenever they talk to community and school groups through the province." A 241 QUEEN STREET or Howanp PORT PERRY 985-2272
