4-ORONO WEEKLY 'PîMNIFs, Jt NEi9thm, 1974 Brownies FIy-up ceremnony Parents and friends of the Brownies were welcomed to the last meeting of the year by Browù Owl, Mrs. Ruth Grady. It turned out to be a very special evening for some 12 brownies, some Who walked up and some who flew up, to a promotion to Guides. .The meeting began with Our fairy ring, followed by the Brownies - Promise, Law and Mlotto, and then the Six Songs. Kathy Bambrick and Krista Brady demonstrated to the audience "Sign Language". We were very fortunate this year to have Susan Goode in Our community to hielp with this particular badge. Many thanks Susan. Melanie Cowan, Janette Tansley, Kathy Bambrick and Krista Brady then entertained the audience with a puppet show. Brown Owl explained to the friends and parents that this year they introduced 2 new badges, to the company, which are for "Art Appreciat- ion" and '-Outdoor Adven- turc. - The Art Appreciation badge was selected because of the Art in the Orono Public School Library, which Mrs. Dorothy Robinson helped us with. Janette Tansley was the only girl who completed this badge. The activities for the Out- door Adventure badge were held at the Kendal Recreation conservation Area, but due to weather conditions, we couldn't have the Brownies light fires. The Brownies were taken to Mrs. Grady's home to be tested, on lighting fires. Then, the Golden Ladder, Golden Bars and Golden Hands were given out along with ail the Proficiency Badges. The lst Pack Orono Girl Guides aided in the fly-upÏ, ceremony. Mrs. J. Tate, District Coml- missioner was then called upon. Mrs. Tate taughit every- one somne new songs, and- congratulated ail brownies on their good work. Brown Owl took- aver and thanked the leaders for their help and the parents for the refreshments.1 e> Lunch Was then served. We wish to express special thanks to Kerry-Lynn Grady, Shelley Lycett, and Karen Atkins for their help, as Tweenies during the year. (Continued fromn page 1> Following is a llst of tests C.F.F.

FamiIyprpety Iaws alffect, every one of us. lThese are the proposais Ontarlo is considering to 7improve theW H Have you ever thought about how much your life is affected byf amily property Iawv? Probably S nat. Yet, hardly anything you have goes un- touched by these laws -the property you owned beforèyou werem~arried, the proprtfy you've S acquired since, your home, your joint bank account, your credit, even survivor's rights. when your husband or wife dies. Recause family law is sa fundamental, several years ago the Ontario Government asked th'e Ontario Law Reform Commission (OLRC) ta cansider the r elevance of the existing laws to today's needs and ta recommend apprapriate changes. The Commission has reparted and naw the S government is interested in learning your Sreactian ta these recammendations. Should ownership of family prop' erty including theflamily home depend on who actually paid > for it? .. or should a systemn of co-ownership of .~assets be ctevelapedI on the basis of marriage S as a social and economic partner-ship? ShoulId a spo use be entitled to an interest in the property of the marriage even when he or she.has been unfair or unf aithf ul? How shauld the wife's non-monetary contributiont the develapment of the husband's business be recognized? If a system of ca-ownership of property were introduced, shauld a couple have the option ta draw up their own cantract or make ather arrangements ta govern the praperty of their marriage ShoulId the proposed changes apply ta exising marrnages or onfly ta future mi-arriagies? The Commission did consider ather kinds of ,ommtrunity praperty systems including thase in whiçh sharing wauld take place frami the time of marriage. As the OILRC proposais naw stand, assets acquired during the marriage would be shared only when the marriage ends. The Commission also recomçnends that bath husband and wife have a duty ta support their chi ldren, and ta support each other, when the ather is w, need andi is unable ta work. Do you agree with these proposais? We want ta know what you think. To enable youbto Iearn more about the OLRQr proposaIs, your Ontario Government now affers a concise, easy-to-understand baoklet, as well as a film on the subject for gro&ap discussions. We invite you ta send for the bookiet or borrow the film for your group. And, w,'d like ta know what you think of the OLRC's proposais, as weLl as other changes you'd like to see in family property law. After aIl, the laws are designed to serve you.

Our gover- nment should adopt the re- commendations of the Advis- ory Committee on Farm Classifcation. Many specula- tors would then not be classifed as farmers.' Elbert Van Donkersgoed, Secreta ry-Ma nager of the Drayton-based organization, is concerned that the Land Speculation Tax Act could have been the first step toward a governmient-spon- sored insurance policy for speculators. -If we, as farmers, had been given the "ýright" to speculate under this legislat- ion, it imuLst follow that we also have a right to compensation when z onîng curtails that so-called right. The C.F.F. is seeking a provincial land use policy that will keep prime land in agricultural production. It's members are prepared to accept such zoning restrict- ions without seeking any compensation for loss of development rights. On the subject of having the speculation tax deductible before capital gains tax, Mr. van Donkersgoed says: "This w oul-d defeat the purpose of the legisiation. Should this happen, the Christian Farm- ers Federation is prepared to recommend that the tax be ra ised to 100 percent of speculatîve profits.-, KIRBY NEWS Lastweek Hieather and Lois Gerrow lost their lives in a tragic accident in near the samne place as the five I-eykoops in January.
