Grooming pooch
4-H day feature

’ by DIANE WYATT

Self determination is one of the many qualities
that 4-H heips to instil in its members. Many of us
were amazed to watch four junior and two senior
teams present their demonstrations. The 4-H
district demonstrations were April 28 in the Terrace
Health Center auditoriura.

Some of the things we were shown were how to
make finger jello and how to groom your pooch.
Many humorous. situations arose. These helped
nervous parents and relatives to relax by allowing
them to release their nervousness inlaughter. I was
amazed at the poise and maturity the children at-
tained.

We were fortunate in having three excellent
judges, Vista Douglas, Constable Terry Pakenham,
and Dave Simmons. ‘They gave many helpful
suggestions to the competitors which were greatly
appreciated by all. Timer and master of
ceremonies for the day was Sharon Taylor. Score
keeper was Ken Awmack, assistant district
agriculturist from Smithers.

OTTAWA (CP} — Extensive new family
leave guarantees were promised Tuesday
by Laber Minister Andre Quellet in a
package of amendments to the Canada
Labor Code.

The changes would add 24 weeks” unpaid

“child care” leave to the basic 17 weeks
unpaid maternity job leave now permitted
for pregnant mothers. .

The added portion of the leave could be
taken by either parent and only three
months’ employment ‘instead of the
current 12 months would be required to
qualify, Ouellet told a news conference.

He also said the child-care provisions
would also apply for the first time to
parents of adopted children.

He promised package priority in
Parliament but critics were skeptical that
it would be passed before an election is
called, '

The Code applies to a minority of
Canadian workers, mainly those in the
transportation and communications in-
dustries,; but Ouellet said employees on
ships, aircraft, trains, and in petroleum

development industries will now come .

under the code.

SHORTER PERIOD

Ouellet said the qualifying period for
Maternity leave is being shortened
because women have established ‘a

‘pattern of permanent participation” in the

will, bor Comes serdats 4

Some might choose to begin a family

after only'a short. period in a job but” |
‘Statistics show they women are likely to
. return to work afler pregnancy, he argued.

He also said the changes will prevent
employers from forcing women to leave a
job if they wish to remain during their
pregnancy.

Although this was the intent ‘of the
original code, the courts have ruled that
the law isn’t worded carefully enough to
stop employers imposing leave if they
wish, he noted.

Other provisions guarantee employees
the right to be kept informed of career
opportunities that arise while they are
away from the job and to reinstate them at
the same position unless transfer to a
comparable position is unavoidable.

Employers would also be prohibited,
when making any decision on training or
promotion, from taking into account the
fact that an employee is pregnant or plans
to take child-care leave.

Other changes would force emplayers to
continue pension, health and disability
benefits during periods of-leave, to include
such time. when calculating seniority, to
pay handicapped people at least the

minimum wage and to avoid laying off, .

{ TORONTO (CP) — A house just
west of Toronto is getting so much
energy from the sun it occasionally
feeds its surplus into the local hydro
ystem .
1 The house is that of Allan Foster,
curator of the Kortright Centre for
Conservation, near the village of
Kleinburg, and the energy is
produced by a $12,000 photovoltaic
[mit on the roof of a small building
pdjacent to the home.

The system provides up to 1,000
watts of power as direct current at

between 245 and 300 volts. An in-.

verter changes the flow into the
tonventional 115 volis and alter-
hating current.

: The sun-powered house is a joint

bxperiment by Ontario Hydro, the.

University of Toronto and the

Wheadon, fed up with buying four
shoes every time she needs two, is
searching for a sole mate.

Like thousands of North
Americans, she has different sized
feet — different enough so that one
pair won't do. It was frustrating and
expensive buying a pair sized 5% to
have one to fil her right foot and a
pair sized seven to fit the left.

' The brand-new leftovers “mostly
pil ended up in the garbage,” says
Wheadon, who lives in the rural
ommunity of Hilden outside Truro,

S. "There wasn't much else you
ould do.”

But not long ago, she discovered

bhere’ sa way to tackle the problem.
She found out about two groups that
cater to people who, because of a
birth defect, a childhood malady, an
accident or a continuing health

problem, need shoes of different -

sizes. By meeling the right partner,
they could swap their mismatched
footwear.

meeting.

department designed and built
controls linking the system with the
conventional residential system of
Vaughan Township Hydro.

Occasionally, the unit’s output is
more than the Foster family requires
and some electrical energy flows
away from the two-storey houee into
the Vaughan system. |

‘FIRST OF ITS KIND

Per Drewes of Ontario Hydro’s
design and development division said
the installation is unprecedented in
Canada. He said that although
photovoltaic systems have been used
elsewhere, they. have been isolated
from power grids.

Drewes said the installation is also
the first roof-integrated array in the
country. The photovoltaic modules
are designed to’ be capable of
replacing conventional reof sheeting
and shingles,

The system works particularly well
on cold, sunny days.

“Contrary to popular belief, the

Search for a soul mate

Women at the meeting helped each

other deal with the psychological -

effects of a deformity as well as the
practical problem of finding someone
with a shoe to trade.

* “Although I never ‘pitied myself
because of my deformity, I always
felt people were looking at it, and
some really were,” said Wheadon,
whose right foot is small because of

_ childhood police. People would try to

sneak a glance at your foot when they
didn't think you were looking.

“l was very self-conscious and
thal’s just how the rest of those
women were.”’

The other group is the National Odd
Shoe Foundation, ‘which Wheadon
learned about through Ripley’s
Believe or Not, a syndicated
newspaper feature that chronicles
the world's oddities.

The foundation was created In the
United States 40 years ago, largely to
serve amputees from the. Second
World War and victims of the polio
outbreaks that preceded the
discovery of a vaccine.

More than 13,000 North Americans
