Best Blessings, in Abundance-
Among the treasures and
pleasures- of Christmas, gifts
loom large—as all who greet
the Yuletide as a season of
laughter and a time to be
glad of heart well know.
Tangible gifts, large and
small, have their place in
the holiday scheme of things.
They're the outgoing .expres-
sion of the generous Christ-
mas spirit.
It's the intangible gifts,
though, that seem to shine
Most radiantly, Christmas
'after Christmas.
The delighted smiles of
children and the wonder in
their eyes, the privilege of
aiding the less fortunate, the
opportunity to cherish and
strengthen friendships and
family ties, the renewed
spirituality, the solid founda-
tions ofhealth, happiness and
love, faith and ,hope-these
are the intangible gifts.
Blessed indeed is the
Christmas that brings an -
abundance of such gifts!

"The • farmers of Canada
have an amazing ability to pro-
duce, in fact to overproduce,"
Ontario Federation of Agricel-
ture President Gordon 1-1111 told
400 delegates to the Federation
annual convention in Hamilton on
Monday. "I picture our agricul-
• tune as a high-powered automo-
bile, running at half speed. It's
tempting to step on the gas just,
a touch, but when we do that,
the vehicle accelerates too
quickly, throwing us out of con-
trol." '
Mr. Hill, re-elected to a third
• term of office as President gave
the w.elcoming, address on the
first day of the three-day policy-
making convention.
"It was our efforts to regulate
this ability to over-produce that
resulted in one of the most divi-
sive issues that ever hit Canadian
farmers," he said., "National
marketing legislation became a
barrier separating the farmers of
this land into hostile factions.
Political opportunists used the
legislation to misinform and Mis-
lead farmers, to fan farmers'
discontent and to embarass the
federal government.
Perhaps mercifully. the
government slid the bill under the'
carpet, allowing farmers to patch
up their differences."
But Mr. Hill told the federat-
ion delegates that the preblena of
over-capacity was still 'Present.
"The farmers of Canada still
need some kind of co-ordinating
structure for provincial market
.ing boards."
Speaking of the low incomes
of Canadian farmers, Mr. Hill
said, "Our- young people are
leaving the farms in droves.
They see the kind of incomes
that farmers earn and they want
ee-pert-of-tte-They want-to enjoy-
the 'good .things of life that.
other people their age enjoy and
that means they "have to seek
new careers. •
An industry that can't keep
e its young people is an unhealthy
industry."
Hill talked of the federation's
successes during ' his 'past year
of presidency. "Our best success
was in the field of truck licenses.
For years the Federation has
urged the Ontario government to
introduce a special rate license • /or farmers. This year we got
But Mr. Hill questioned the
timing of the announcement.
."Perhaps the election had some-
thing. to do with it," he said.

Christmas ' trees, lighted
Candles, arrangements of ever-
green sprigs - the traditional
• decorative touches which,spread
the holiday atmosphere through-
out the home. • However, they can
also spread' fires unless great
care is taken.. Hal Wright, farm
safety specialist, Ontario
Department of Agirculture and
Food, offers some tips for a
safe, as well as happy,C hristmas. •
First, select a fresh tree.
Before setting it up, make a
fresh cut so water can be ab-
sorbed more readily. Place the
tree a sturdy stand containing
water. Water daily to keep the
ttee from drying out.' A dry
tes
tree can burn explosively in
seconds..
Never use lighted candles on
a tree or near evergreen decora-
tions. When using a metallic
tree, spotlight it Nam nearby. „
Do not put electric lights on it.
If'a short circuit ehbuld occur,
the entire tree could become
. electrically "alive".
Use glass and asbestos dec-
orations which are non-
combustible or fire retardant.
Keep evergreens or polystyrene
foam decorations away from
candles,, fireplaces, and other
open flames.
• when unwrapping the Christ-
mas presents, have a large con-
tainer available for the wrap-
pi egs and dispose of them as soon
as"possible. Netter burn them in
the fireplace since they create
an Intense heat and could start
"' a chimney fire.
By, planning your holiday at-
mosphere, you can eliminate the
special hazards that are apparent
only during this special season.
So make it a merry- and safe -
,Christmas.

governments react to the prob-
lems of agriculture when farmers
need help, not when governments
need help."
Looking at the future, Mr.
Hill discussed the possibility of
an assistance program for cow-
calf operators. in Ontario. "Beef
producers in other provinces
have the benefit of governmental
encouragement to increase pro-
duction," Hill said. "why.not
_these advantages for Ontario
cow-calf producers?"
